Chapter 373 Found an Old Fishing Net
It can even be imagined as a wide plank. The only thing that needs to be guaranteed is to let the plank float steadily on the water, which is enough.

In fact, when Wang Yu was recording a program on a deserted island in Fiji, the double-layer raft he made was very good. If he hadn’t been unlucky, the raft would have taken him to find the boat. It’s a pity that he doesn’t have polyethylene foam now. Cannot craft double rafts.

Speaking of polyethylene foam, Wang Yu suddenly thought that he hadn’t picked up garbage for a long time. In the past ten days, some garbage might have washed up on the coast. For Wang Yu now, any garbage is useful. Thinking of this, Wang Yu directed the live broadcast The audience said:
"It's been a while since I've picked up rubbish, and I'll walk along the beach later to see if any rubbish has washed up on the shore."

The matter of the raft is not urgent for the time being. If he can pick up a large piece of foam, he can make a double-layer raft. Compared with ordinary rafts, the double-layer raft is stronger and more buoyant.

Moreover, he no longer needs to cut down trees, and the raft has no requirements on the shape of the wood, as long as it is dry, light and buoyant, it is enough.

So, he can go straight to the island looking for dead trees and driftwood washed up on the beach.

It has not rained for over a week now and the deadwood and driftwood are absolutely dry after so many days of scorching sun.

All the way to the beach, it was still early in the morning, and the sun was not strong. Wang Yu walked along the beach at a faster pace, looking for the washed up marine garbage.

For those who have nothing in the wilderness, any rubbish, even a nail or an old slipper, is of great use.

He had to find more garbage while the weather was still cool. When the sun gradually rose, at noon, even if he applied coconut oil, he would still get sunburned while walking on the beach in the hot sun.

The ultraviolet rays here are so strong that even the people of Jiguo, who have lived here for hundreds of thousands of years, can only hide in thatched sheds to enjoy the coolness during the hottest time of the day.

After walking for more than 300 meters, Wang Yu found nothing, which made him a little frustrated. There is no way, the location of Jiguo is too remote, even if the whole world dumps tens of thousands of tons of marine debris every year, the Garbage, still very little.

Of course, from the perspective of environmental protection, this is indeed a good thing. After all, no one wants such a beautiful island to be covered with all kinds of garbage, but at this moment, Wang Yu is eager to trash any garbage!
At this moment, Wang Yu's eyes lit up, and he saw a piece of thick driftwood lying on the beach ahead, and a light green fishing net wrapped around the driftwood!
This discovery made him overjoyed immediately, and he ran over quickly.After squatting down and checking it carefully, I found that the fishing net and the driftwood were completely twisted together. It would probably take a lot of effort to remove the fishing net from it completely.

"Fortunately, I found an old fishing net."

Wang Yu pulled the fishing net with his hands and found that it was very strong, so he couldn't help laughing:
"The fishing net is still very strong, and it seems that it has not been completely corroded by sea water. With this fishing net, I can get a stable amount of fish and seafood every day, but I have to find a way to get it off before that."

Just this fishing net, today’s land reclamation task is worthwhile, not only the fishing net, but this thick driftwood can also be used as a material for building a raft. Thinking of this, Wang Yu dragged the driftwood and returned to the temporary place under the beach. in the shelter.

Sitting on the beach, looking at the circles of fishing nets tangled in the driftwood, I can't help feeling a little headache.The ghost knows how this thing was entangled, the densely packed holes in the fishing net made him dazzled.

It took Wang Yu 10 minutes to untie a short distance. The key point was that Wang Yu didn't dare to use force. He was afraid of tearing the fishing net, so he could only obediently follow the direction of untwisting, and get the net out of the driftwood bit by bit. Come down, this is a meticulous job that tests eyesight and mind.

As the sun rose little by little, the temperature gradually increased. It took more than two hours until noon before Wang Yu got the whole fishing net off the driftwood.

The entire fishing net is 8 meters long and 2 meters wide. The holes in the fishing net are very small, only as big as a grain of rice. The key is that there are several holes in the fishing net. The largest one is more than 40 centimeters long.

Wiping the sweat off his face, Wang Yu looked at the shape of the fishing net, frowned and said:
"From the size of the holes in the fishing net, it can be seen that this should be a shallow water trawling net, because the fish in the deep sea area are very large. The fishing net with such holes is only suitable for catching small fish in shallow water areas. The only good thing is that, The holes above are all in the edge area, if they are distributed in the center area, the whole fishing net will be useless.”

The method of mending the fishing net is very simple, Wang Yu knows how to mend it, but he has no tools and materials, and the thin rope woven with banana tree fiber cannot mend the fishing net.

Because as long as the rope is soaked in seawater for a few hours, the rope will be corroded by seawater. If the woven rope is too thick, it cannot pass through the holes in the fishing net.

So like he said, if the holes are distributed in the central area, then the fishing net is almost useless. Now this situation is not bad, he just needs to cut out the holes.

Holding a shard of glass, Wang Yu cut off all the holes in the fishing net. The remaining intact fishing net was still more than 5 meters long, enough for him to use.

Looking at the fishing net in his hand, Wang Yu couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He was thinking about how to maximize the value of this fishing net. It would definitely not work if it was used as a trawl net.

Generally speaking, trawling is used with fishing boats or towing boats. If it is used with a slow raft, it may take a day to haul without catching a single fish. After pondering for a while, Wang Yu said to the live broadcast camera:
"Currently, this net can only be used as a seine net. I want to find a reef area. When the sea tide is high, I will block the seine net at the exit. After the tide ebbs, I can harvest the fish trapped inside. "

There is no rush for fishing, you have to eat every bite, and you have to do things one by one. The primary purpose now is to make rafts, explore the islands, and find fruits and vegetables.

Folding the fishing net carefully and putting it in the temporary shelter, Wang Yu began to search for dead wood all over the mountains and plains.

The materials used to make a raft are very random. Unlike building a house, which requires straight wood, there are even strict requirements for the length and width of the wood.

The scorching sun and high temperature above the equator dried the last trace of moisture in the dead trees, making them dry and light. In an hour, Wang Yu collected seven or eight dead trees, and it was already approaching noon.
