Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 668 Snow Bath

In order to survive the later stage smoothly, 20 kilograms of prey per day is the goal set by Bi Fang.

It is less than half a month away from the arrival of Yong Ye, which is barely 15 days. During the period, there may be another blizzard. Combined with all other unexpected factors, plus the construction of a shelter, the number of days that can really go out to hunt and have a harvest, Maybe only for a week.

An adult healthy male eats about three catties a day, forty-five kilograms a month, and at least one hundred and thirty-five kilograms for three months.

In the Arctic, however, the demand is even greater.

A reserve of about 150 kilograms of food is relatively safe.

The two puffins plucked their feathers, and the combined weight may be less than eight catties, or four kilograms. Less than a quarter of today's task has been completed.

[Is this too difficult? Twenty kilograms, the amount of meat I can’t eat in a month]

【You didn't eat meat as a meal】

[Not everything can be eaten, such as flesh and blood, and lean meat. Eating lean meat in the North Pole is a loss-making business, right? 】

[I finally understand why Fang Shen was not bitten by a shark when he was surviving in the sea. He has too much emotional lean meat, and he will starve to death if he eats too much (funny)]

Continuing to walk along the river bank, Bi Fang often dug up the snow on the way to see the situation under the snow.

When the frequency of moss on the ground increased significantly, Bi Fang knew that he was not going in the wrong direction.

There is a prevailing wind trend across the world under the influence of the Earth's rotation, which means that most of the time, the wind blows in one direction.

In Greenland, under the influence of the air pressure belt and the prevailing wind belt, the wind blows from west to east. Isn't someone watching the weather forecast? You can check the weather forecast for the last week to see if everything is right. It’s the west wind, or if it’s not, it’s the southwest, northwest wind.”

Several curious water friends immediately quit the live broadcast, searched for the weather forecast on Greenland, and found that it was indeed the case.

In the past week, and in the next week, more than half of the winds are from the west, and the rest are from the southwest and a small part of the northwest. The main wind direction is the west wind.

【absolutely】

【Amazing】

[What if I don’t know the direction of the wind? 】

It's okay if you can't judge the wind direction of your location based on geography and climate. Look at the snow ridges. Bi Fang pointed to the high snow ridges on the snow field in the distance.

Snow is more viscous than sand, but under the action of wind, it will also form dune-like snow dunes.

Under the effect of the prevailing wind, the snow ridges on the snow hills, without exception, all moved towards Bi Fang neatly, which also meant that Bi Fang was at the leeward outlet at this time.

I didn't choose the direction I walked randomly. On the one hand, I wanted to follow the river, and on the other hand, I wanted to follow the direction of the wind.

The downwind is naturally not good for catching animals, but it is of great help to find the forest.

Do you remember what I said before that it is difficult to grow trees on small islands in the sea that are smaller than a certain area, most of them are shrubs, because the wind is too strong at sea, and small saplings will be bought by the wind before they grow up. Blow off.

It's the same in the Arctic. If a place wants to grow forests, it must be a valley. Only with mountains to block the airflow can trees grow normally.

We follow the direction of the wind. If there is even a shorter ridge to block the wind, plus running water, we can turn over, and it is very likely that there will be a forest.

[Which is theoretically possible against the wind, right? 】

[If it is reversed, the direction of the river and the wind are inconsistent, and one of the two conditions is missing]

【Oh, I remembered】

In fact, before I set off in the morning, I saw a raised hill here, and now we are walking in its direction. I don't know if we can walk there before dark.

Half an hour later, a low mountain appeared, which proved that Bi Fang's choice was very correct, and the distance was closer than he had guessed before.

Bi Fang prepared to climb over this low mountain with excitement. There must be a forest behind the mountain, he thought to himself.

Greenland's wildlife management system is very good. Every year, people with hunting licenses come here to hunt reindeer and arctic musk ox through various channels. This is also the main goal of hunters here.

Everything is enough to prove that there are not many large animals in the Arctic. If there are fewer, it will not be able to support giant carnivores like polar bears.

But before turning over, we have one more thing to do.

Bi Fang looked at the slanting sun in the distance. This time is not the highest time when the sun rose today, but moved a little further back, but it happened to be the highest point of temperature, warmer than yesterday, maybe below zero Twenty degrees or more.

He began to undress, taking off his jacket one by one, and then he was still in the snow.

Because it's against the wind, if I turn over, the smell on my body is likely to alert the animals, so I have to take a bath and take a snow bath before that.

Trust me, the snow bath works pretty well, and the porous structure of the snowflakes makes it a very absorbent material that can effectively remove odors.

After saying this, Bi Fang took off his shirt and started to unbutton his pants.

The skin was completely exposed to the cold air, and under the intense stimulation, the capillaries began to flow faster, and soon Bi Fang's upper body turned slightly red, like the flush after drunkenness.

[Hiss, take a bath? 】

[Speaking of which, Lao Fang did not take a bath for a week (dog head)]

[The body is marinated and tastes good]

[Is it normal to wash once a week in winter? Let alone the North Pole (sweating)]

Treasure this time. When the polar night comes, the temperature will be lower. It will not be easy to find a suitable temperature to take a bath.

Although it is in the Arctic, when the temperature and weather permit, I still take a bath and then bask in the sun. The ultraviolet rays and clean air have miraculous effects on the skin, body and spirit.

Bi Fang took off the last piece of clothing and buried it in the snow. With only a pair of shorts left on his body, he threw himself into the snow, crawling and rolling.

In the face of a cold environment, the human body will carry out in a short time, by consuming glycogen in the body, and supplying a large amount of heat through the expanded capillaries.

During this period, short-term exposure to the cold environment not only does not feel cold, but also feels hearty.

Bi Fang grabbed a fluff of snow, wiped his body carefully, until his skin was flushed, and a refreshing feeling no less than that after taking a bath appeared.

And at this moment, exposed to the sun, only there is no wind, Bi Fang can even feel a little bit of warmth.

Ten minutes later, his body finally began to feel the cold. Bi Fang immediately crawled out of the snow, scattered the snowflakes stuck to his body, dug out the clothes that had just been buried in the snow, and put them on again one by one from the inside out. put on.

It's as easy as washing away fatigue. Bi Fang raised his eyebrows.

People who sleep for more than 9 hours a day for a long time, their language fluency will drop by about 20%, their learning ability will drop by about 22%, and their memory will also drop by about 13%.

Thanks to Fatty Zhang Fan for the 3,000 points reward, and thanks to Xianyu No. 1 for the 10,000 points reward.
