[Comprehensive British and American] Wilderness Survival Journey

"So did you find the place?" Anthony asked.

"Not yet, I met a little wild boar just now, and I chased it." Nathan picked up the machete, looked at the two and said, "If you want me to go to your shelter to hide from the rain, I can take the wild boar Give some to you."

"!"

This is a great thing, how could the two of them not be happy, but when they think about the miserable condition of their shed, they dare not agree easily.Anthony and Owen exchanged glances, and then said with some hesitation: "We welcome you very much, but half of our shed collapsed, and we came out to cut trees to make pillars. If you don't mind, wait until we finish cutting Trees can go back together."

Nathan was drenched in the rain all night, and he chased the wild boar for a long time just now, and his physical strength was exhausted. Even if he was asked to put on a wedding dress by himself, he couldn't make a good one, so he didn't dislike Anthony at all. Shed, and said bluntly: "It's enough to have a place to shelter from the rain. I'm tired all night, and I just want to sleep well."

"Then go back with us." Owen said happily, looking at Nathan with very warm eyes, apparently already treating him as a new teammate.

Anthony is also very welcome to a strong partner like Nathan, but he still feels that the ugly words must be said first, so he pulled the excited Owen and said: "I have to explain first, our fire was extinguished when the shed collapsed. , so it might not be as good as you think."

Nathan smiled and said, "A place that can shelter from the rain is a good place now, and I have fire here."

"You have tinder?" Owen's eyes widened, as if he didn't believe that Owen could keep tinder in this weather.

"I put it in my trouser pocket, and I will take it out when I get to the shed. Now let's finish the work here. Are you going to cut down this tree?" Nathan pointed to the tree that was chopped down by the two. said half the trees.

"Yes, we can finish cutting right away." Anthony nodded and said, holding it up and ready to continue cutting trees when he saw it.

But Nathan made a stop for him, and then saw him take a step back, then suddenly "ah", raised his leg and kicked the tree pole.

Then the tree that Anthony and Owen watched for more than ten minutes and hadn't been cut down made a crisp sound of "click", and then fell to the ground in response.

"Wow! That's great!" Owen cheered, and then clapped his hands approvingly.

For a skinny nerd like him, Nathan's hand really shocked him.In comparison, Anthony's performance seemed indifferent, although he also clapped his hands very appreciatively. Less surprising.

However, Nathan didn't pay attention to his expression. After being praised by the two, he became embarrassed, scratched his face and said, "Do you want to cut down other trees? I'm strong, let me do it." .”

With such an excellent labor force, Owen certainly would not let it go, and immediately nodded his head and said: "If you want it, you have to cut two of this thick."

"Okay, please wait a moment." Nathan said, then held up his machete, repeated the operation of cutting and kicking trees, and completed the task within 10 minutes.

After the tree was cut, there was no other work. Nathan tied the little wild boar thrown behind the bushes to his back, and then carried away with Anthony and Owen on a tree pole.

It was also at this time that Anthony and Owen knew that besides the machete in his hand, Nathan also had a machete and a pot, which were left to him by the other two teammates, and these tools would be of great help to them.

When the three of them returned to the shelter, Barbara had already packed up the bed that had been crushed last night. When she saw Nathan, she immediately gave him a warm welcome, and then took the fire that Nathan brought.

The kindling that Nathan brought was two small pieces of unburnt charcoal. He wrapped the charcoal in thick palm skin with only a small opening for ventilation, and then stuffed it in his pocket as a portable kindling.

With the kindling, the four of them quickly lit the fire, and then Nathan quickly cleaned up the little wild boar and handed it over to Barbara for her to handle, while he himself, Anthony and Owen People re-supported the collapsed part of the shed.

After the three of them finished their work, the first batch of grilled wild boar skewers were ready. The four of them were already hungry, and immediately sat around the fire and began to eat happily.

After eating this meal for nearly an hour, the four of them curled up on the bed after their stomachs were filled.

Nathan snored after a while, and then Owen and Barbara fell asleep.But Anthony couldn't sleep. Lying in a shed that might collapse at any time made him feel very uneasy, so he tossed and turned for a long time before he slowly fell asleep.

But when he was about to fall asleep, the arms hanging on the edge of the platform bed suddenly felt a chill.Anthony was startled, and immediately opened his eyes and sat up, and then he was horrified to find that the water in the river had overflowed to the bank at some point, and now it had flooded their shed.

Seeing the situation in front of him clearly, Anthony immediately picked up everyone's survival tools, and then shouted: "Everyone, get up, the water is coming up!"

The three people who were still asleep woke up immediately when they heard Anthony's cry. They felt a little desperate when they saw the overflowing water.

Owen even shouted in a panic: "Where is so much water coming from!"

Looking at the rapidly rising water, Nathan picked up a piece of charcoal from the fire and put it in the bark pocket he brought, and said, "They all come from upstream, it seems that we can't live here anymore. .”

"But where are we going if we don't stay here?" Owen said, looking at the heavy rain that was still unabated outside.

Although he did say to Anthony that he would rather be in the rain in the morning, he knew better than anyone that his small body could not last long in the wind and rain, so after seeing the water gradually overflowing the platform bed, he gave birth I have a premonition that I will retire today.

Nathan and Barbara didn't know where to go, but they didn't have the idea of ​​giving up like Owen. One of them actively rescued and ate the remaining wild boar meat, and the other put it in the shed and said: "Walk one step at a time Well, let's get out of here now, the water is getting more and more."

Anthony was a little flustered at first, but soon he calmed down. He glanced at the bow and arrow in his hand and said to the three, "Let's go to another group, I think they will help us."

"Are there other groups around here?" Nathan turned his head and asked, he thought the groups should be far away from each other.

"It's a few miles away from here, and it will be very hard to walk there, but you can settle down when you get there," Anthony said.

"You're talking about the sharpshooter. Have you ever been to their shelter?" Owen asked immediately after hearing this, and a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.

"I haven't been there, but I know how to get there." Anthony said.

"Then look for it, if you can't find another way." Nathan said decisively immediately.

It is impossible for them to build a shelter suitable for four people in such weather, so the best way now is to seek help from other groups as Anthony said, otherwise they will have to endure the wind and rain.

Barbara also nodded, "Then go, let's put on the coir raincoat."

In the morning, Barbara made herself a coir raincoat after Anthony and Owen left, so now they each have a coir raincoat, and it's no problem to stay outside for a short time.

After discussing it, the four of them packed up their things and left their shelter. When they left, the platform bed in the shed was already half-submerged by the overflowing river. It is estimated that it will be completely covered by water in a short time. .

Anthony said that knowing the direction of Noah's Sanctuary is not a lie. A few days ago, he pretended to be hunting and quietly followed the traces left by Noah for a while, so the general direction is not wrong, but he wants to find Noah's shelter is not so easy.

The sightlines were not good in rainy days, and Noah's shed was built on a tree, so they turned around and didn't see Noah and the others. Instead, they found Tom and Jim's shelter first.

The two were startled when they saw Anthony and the others, and then immediately welcomed them into the shed.The two of them were also forced to leave their shelter before, so after hearing what happened to Anthony and the others, they both expressed their willingness to help them, but their shed was too small to accommodate six people together So in the end they pointed out the direction of Noah's tree house to the four of them.

"Did you see, it's on that big tree. Their tree house is very well built, but it certainly can't accommodate too many people, and the branch can't bear too much weight. So I think you can stay Two people are here, and then two others go by," Jim said.

This is very reasonable, the four of them are really too many, and the bearing capacity of the tree house must be considered.

Anthony thought for a while and said, "Then let Barbara and I go there. I know Noah and it will be easier to talk to. And they have a girl, and Barbara is more suitable."

Although Owen didn't want to be separated from the two of them, he still said rationally: "Okay, then I will live here with Nathan."

"I have no objection." Nathan also said, he was not familiar with the three of them, so it didn't matter where he stayed.

But they are considered a group now, so he quickly said, "Would you like to bring some meat?"

In his opinion, the two of them will definitely bring some pressure to the opposing team in the past, so it must be better to bring some meat to the past.

But Anthony shook his head. He knew better than anyone how much meat there was on Noah's side, so he said, "No, there's no shortage of meat there. You can keep it. It's going to be dark soon. Barbara and I Let's go now."

Nathan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words. He didn't expect that there would be a group with surplus food, but it was a good thing for him that Anthony and the others didn't want meat. The little wild boar only weighed about ten catties, and they had already eaten it at noon. Most of it was lost, and now there is not much left. If Anthony doesn't take it, he can just eat more.

Anthony and Barbara quickly put on their coir raincoats and left the warm shed. This time they successfully found Noah's tree house. When Anthony saw it, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Noah! Noah! I It's Anthony, our group's shelter is flooded, can I take my companion to stay with you for one night?"

Noah had just woken up in the tree house. After hearing Anthony's voice, he immediately opened the door and leaned over to look down.

In fact, he heard movement when Anthony and the others came, but he only heard the footsteps of two people, so he thought it was Tom and Jim who came out, but it was Anthony and his teammates who came out.

Noah and Anthony were already familiar with each other, so they said enthusiastically at this time: "Come on, don't you have three teammates, why are only two of you here?"

When Anthony heard that Noah agreed, he immediately showed his big white teeth, and then he handed over his bow and arrow and Barbara's pot first, and then he said while climbing the tree: "Another teammate is at Tom and Jim's place." , You can’t accommodate too many people in this tree house.”

After Noah took the things, he gave up the position at the door. He waited for Anthony to climb up and said, "Are you here specifically to join me?"

"Yes." Anthony hung his coir raincoat on the branch outside the tree house, and was about to thank Noah when he turned his head, but when he saw the pieces of meat hanging all over the room, he opened his mouth wide.

He knew from the beginning that Noah had a lot of meat, but he didn't know that Noah had so much meat. The walls and roof of the entire tree house were covered by him. It was simply a paradise for meat.

Even a rich boy like Anthony was overwhelmed by Noah's arrogance at this time.

Anthony felt that this situation was exaggerated, and Barbara was even more shocked. She knew at a glance that there were hundreds of pounds of meat in it. With so much meat, let alone persist for another 20 days , she thinks it doesn't matter if the team stays for another month or so.
