Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 721 Success is in sight

After tanning, the hides are smoked next.

Bi Fang made the animal skin into a bag shape, extinguished the open fire, set up a tripod on top of the charcoal fire, put the animal skin bag directly on it, with the mouth of the bag facing down.

This step of smoking is very important. The purpose is to prevent the animal hide from turning into rawhide again after being exposed to water. Rawhide cannot be used as clothes. Once it loses moisture, it will become hard and cannot be worn at all. So every time you do it I am serious about this step.

I remember that I said not to use an open flame, it is easy to burn the animal hide. After waiting for a few hours, turn it over and continue. After it is finished, it will be cooked hide.

While waiting, Bi Fang was not idle either. He took out a reindeer stomach bag, which was filled with liquid frozen into ice cubes.

These are collected by Bi Fang from reindeer eyeballs, not many, but very useful.

Using the liquid in the eyes and the branches can also be used to make super glue. In addition, there are hooves, which can also be used to make super glue. When boiling, skim off the oil on the water surface, which is a good bone oil. , can be used to soften leather.

The musk ox wanted to lose weight as much as possible, so I gave up four big hooves. This time, the load capacity was improved, so I kept them.

After finishing the process, the next step is pure water grinding.

The next day, the tanning of the animal skins was completed, and everyone was exhausted. The low temperature last night caused everyone to fall into the activity of rescuing the ice cave. .

Fortunately, thanks to everyone's efforts, the ice cave did not freeze, the whales under the ice sheet were still full of vitality, and the temperature temporarily rose to more than minus 40 degrees. , can already be called warm.

The more good news is that the Tesis broke through the thick ice section, continued to collide, and its forward speed suddenly accelerated a lot.

Now the distance between the two is less than two miles. If someone has good enough eyesight, he can even spot a blurry figure directly under the starry sky!

Thinking of this, everyone was very motivated, and the number of tourists by the ice cave increased again. The number of people remained at about 30, and the labor force was sufficient.

Anyone want to try the roasted reindeer?

Before the bonfire, Bi Fang held up the piece of meat and asked the crowd.

Reindeer?

Whether they were cutting ice or those who were resting aside, they were stunned when they heard this.

Bi Fang was at the side, and everyone knew what he did. Today, Bi Fang roasted half a big deer at one time during breakfast. They wondered how one person and six dogs could eat so much, but they didn't expect it to be for them.

Seeing that no one responded, Bi Fang shouted again: The taste may not be so good, does anyone want to try it!

The people present finally came to their senses, and they all surrounded with a bang.

Me! I want to try it!

Give me a taste!

Get out of the way, let me see!

Obviously there are only thirty people, but Bi Fang's place is hard to be surrounded.

After spending two days in the Arctic ice field, everyone who was unfamiliar with Bi Fang knew Bi Fang's identity and deeds. Everyone was very interested in the reindeer meat baked by this adventurer himself.

Bi Fang quickly cut off the meat from the reindeer, sprinkled it with thin salt, and handed it to everyone.

Half a reindeer is close to a hundred catties, even if it is one catty per person, it is more than enough to feed more than thirty people, and ordinary people can't eat a catty of pure meat in a normal meal. The beef needs some firewood, which is not particularly delicious.

It can only be said to be ordinary, but being able to make wild reindeer meat to an ordinary level with only salt can only be said to be a great help brought by Bi Fang's own wilderness cooking skills.

It doesn't taste good when it's cold, so don't wait too long.

Even though he had just taken it off the fire, Bi Fang couldn't persuade people to be careful about scalding his mouth, because once he left the flame, the huge temperature difference would cause the temperature of the meat to drop rapidly.

No need to grab it, everyone has it.

Bi Fang was like a small barbecue vendor, skillfully cutting pieces of meat, putting them on clean twigs, and handing them out one by one.

【Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo】

[Fang God feed me! 】

[Fang Shen grilled meat in the wild, I really want to try it]

[Peter Pan presented the host with meatballs*1—I am curious about the taste of reindeer meat]

Huh, the taste is surprisingly good!

I didn't even have breakfast, I just happened to be hungry, it's a bit delicious!

It's okay, just some firewood.

It's definitely worth the fare. I never thought that an ordinary trip to the North Pole would be so interesting. I'm so happy!

After the simple food distribution, Bi Fang also fed the impatient sled dogs, and he also had a simple meal, and then started to make clothes.

Making clothes and other items out of things around you is a very basic skill in long-term survival in the wild.

Although it takes a lot of time and effort to mature hides, you will also find that the leather products made this way are stronger and more durable than modern industrial leather products.

This is also a rare situation where wild products can surpass modern industrial products.

Generally speaking, the quality of things made in the wilderness is generally inferior to industrial products, such as soap, Bi Fang made it with alkaline water and oil, it is impossible to be better than those sold in supermarkets, otherwise human chemical Has industry gone to dogs?

But animal skin is different. As a natural product, it is stronger and more durable, and it is a natural product that can effectively cover up your own smell, and is more conducive to getting close to prey. It will not make noise when rubbing like a down jacket or an assault jacket. Good for camouflage.

When making clothes, you can use all kinds of materials to sew animal hides, and animal tendons can also be used to sew clothes, but it is best used in a dry place.

Of course, plant fibers are also possible, but the sutures are easy to crack and need to be mended frequently. For this reason, I choose to glue the edges with animal skin glue first, and then sew them together, which is very firm.

The reindeer hide is cut into long strips, most of which are made into buckets, which can be used as trousers and put directly on the legs.

Pay more attention to keeping the knee joint warm, otherwise it is prone to arthritis or rheumatism. We can put another layer on it.

On top of the long tube of animal skin, Bi Fang put another short tube on his knees, and finally put on the buckskin jacket, his whole body suddenly swelled up.

Although part of the beauty was sacrificed, it was a bit more wild in the wilderness. The most important thing is that Bi Fang finally felt his body warm up!

Until the afternoon, the Tesis was less than 500 meters away from the gray whale. Even people with poor eyesight can still see it under the starry sky at this moment!

Okay, let the Tesis turn its bow, and the next step is to let the gray whale return to the sea!

Bi Fang's words were inspiring, and everyone started high-fiving each other and laughing.

Success is at hand!
