[Comprehensive British and American] Wilderness Survival Journey

With the fire, the next step is to build a shelter, but Noah is not going to waste this effort because he knows they will only stay here for one night.

In fact, in the tropics, it is not a wise move to build a shelter next to a water source during the dry season, because there are generally more mosquitoes in places with water, and these things are easily attracted by flames. Sleeping in such a place at night is quite So give the mosquitoes a free meal of love.

Under normal circumstances, Noah would not stay here at all, but now he wants to use the hands of mosquitoes to drive away Laura, so he can only wrong Sarah.

As a water-type power user, Noah himself is not afraid of mosquito bites. When he is in the wild, he is used to wrapping the water molecules in the air into a protective film invisible to the naked eye to prevent the smell from overflowing. Mosquitoes can't feel his presence, so naturally they won't bite him.

After Noah rested in the shade for a while, Sarah and Laura came over slowly.

It was already noon, the temperature was very hot, and the sun was stinging all over the body. As soon as the two of them reached the shade of the tree, they sat down on their buttocks, and then leaned against the tree trunk to breathe.

But Sarah was very excited when she saw the fire. She said in surprise: "Have we got a fire! God, I'm sure we are the most efficient of all the groups. Noah, you are really amazing!"

In Sarah's plan, it was God's blessing that they could find water in the afternoon and light the fire before dark, but Noah was like a cockpit, not only found the water source, but also lit it Huo, she was so happy.

"What method do you use, do you make fire by drilling wood?" she asked.

Noah sat by the fire to get used to the bow and arrow in his hand, and when he heard Sharon's words, he said, "The bow-style method of drilling wood to make fire, the weather here is dry, so it's not difficult to start a fire."

"But it's not easy. It takes me an hour or two to light the fire every time." Sarah said excitedly, having a great companion really made her very happy.

Compared with her, Laura's performance was much colder. She didn't think there was any difficulty in lighting the fire, so she just glanced casually and shifted her gaze to the pool in front, but the muddy muddy water inside quickly made her frowned.

"The water looks dirty, is it really drinkable?" Laura asked questioningly.

Hearing her question, Noah didn't even raise his eyelids, he just lowered his head and played with the bow and arrow in his hand.

Sarah watched helplessly, patted her butt, stood up and walked to Laura and said: "Looking at the terrain, this place should be a lake before, but it shrank into a pool in hot weather, so don't worry, there are not too many dirty things in it. The water is certainly drinkable. Let's cook some, I'm dying of thirst."

Laura was a little skeptical of Sarah's words, and she said disgustedly: "It's full of mud, so it's not dirty? I don't want to drink this thing."

"I guarantee that the water is drinkable, as long as it is boiled, the soil will settle. And there is no other water source nearby, so we have no other choice." Sarah said.

After hearing the words, Laura looked around unwillingly, and after finding no other water source, she angrily stuffed the pot into Sarah's hand, and said to her, "If you want to drink, you can cook it yourself."

You have the biggest pot. Sarah took the pot with a good temper and scooped half of the pot of water in the pool, then put it by the campfire and started cooking.

While they boiled water to drink, eight kilometers away, Anthony and two of his teammates were trying to make a fire.

Anthony's luck was much better than Noah's. Their group landed in a river valley, surrounded by trees, rivers, and various wild animals, which meant that they didn't have to bother to find a place to build a shelter, and they didn't have to worry about it. It's good to have to worry about finding water and food.

In addition, Anthony's teammates are also very reliable. One of his teammates is a college student named Owen Singer, and the other is a middle-aged herbal merchant named Barbara Brook.Although the two men are slightly deficient in physical fitness, they are excellent in other aspects.Owen has a wealth of theoretical knowledge in survival in the wild, while Barbara knows many plants around her and can accurately find edible things.

Anthony was inferior to them in these two aspects. He knew a little about both, but he was not proficient in them. However, he was good at hunting and had excellent physical fitness, which allowed him to occupy an important position in the team.

In terms of survival tools, their group was the same as Noah's group, Anthony chose a bow and arrow, Owen chose a machete, Barbara chose a pot, and when they decided where to build a shelter, she had already picked A pot of wild spinach that will be their dinner tonight.

"Wild spinach is rich in nutrients, especially riboflavin, which can decompose body fat and generate energy for the body. This would be a very good dinner." Barbara squatted on the bank of the river while making tools for drilling fire Said.

"I hope they can turn me into Popeye, because I'm going to chop down trees next." Owen said, waving the machete in his hand.

Through discussion, they decided to build a shelter in the woods behind the river bank. It was already afternoon, so he had to hurry up.

But soon Anthony came over to take over his machete. He stuffed the bow and arrow into Owen's hand and said, "Let me do it, I am stronger than you."

Anthony's physique does not seem much stronger than Irving, but he has undergone professional physical training, so he must be much stronger than Irving in terms of strength.

Owen was not angry when his physical fitness was underestimated. He just held the bow and arrow in his hand and said, "But I don't know how to hunt."

"I'll start hunting tomorrow, and you can help Barbara light the fire, and then try to catch some fish or something," Anthony said.

Their group did not choose any captain, but Anthony seemed to have put himself in the position of captain. As a young master of the upper class, he was used to staying in the position of leader.Owen and Barbara are very supportive of this. Owen is a lively young man who is a master of learning. He is obviously not good at leading the team, and Barbara is willing to give young people some opportunities to take the lead, so they are very natural Listening to Anthony's command.

Now Anthony asked Owen to help Barbara light the fire. Owen felt that what he said was quite reasonable, so he sat next to Barbara and began to help, "I will use arrows to dig holes in this board. I learned this in summer camp."

"Okay, the fire stick and fire primer are ready, I'll go find some firewood." Barbara stood up and said.

They are on the river beach now, there are only some dry grass on the ground, it is not enough to just burn these, they have to go to the woods to find some branches.It doesn't take much effort, the woods here are full of branches, and there are a lot of them if you pick them up.

When Barbara came back with a pile of firewood, Owen had just finished the fire board, and the two joined forces to start the fire.

However, they are obviously not as good as Noah in this aspect, and it took about an hour to light up the fire.

At this time, Anthony has already built the frame of the shelter. He made the simplest canopy shelter, which is to use four branches to build two triangular brackets, and then build a tree on top of the two brackets. The branches are used as beams, and then there is something to block the wind on the windward side.

It is very simple to say, but without enough tools, it is quite laborious to cut off the branches by manpower alone, and then do the same thing again, so Anthony is already tired and sweating just after setting up the frame up.

Compared with Anthony and the others who were working in full swing, Noah's side was much more relaxed.

Laura hadn't stood up since she sat under the shade of the tree, and Sarah even walked over to hand her the pot to drink water.After Noah collected enough firewood to burn tonight, he also lay down under another tree, preparing to take a comfortable nap.

He was actually a bit hungry, but he wasn't going to look for food, even though it was hours before night.

Because Noah believes that as long as there are two hungry meals and the mosquito attack at night, Laura will definitely quit soon.

And Laura didn't know that she had been arranged clearly. She was sulking at the moment, so she didn't realize that after lighting the fire and boiling the water, they should find something to fill their stomachs instead of lying around and hiding .

Sarah thought of the food issue, and wanted Noah to hunt.But this was the first day, and she was embarrassed to ask her teammates to work like this, so she swallowed the words after hesitating for a long time.

Anyway, she is in good health, and it doesn't matter if she is hungry for a meal or two. The weather is so hot today, let Noah get used to it.

So the first afternoon in Tanzania passed while the three of them drowsy. When they woke up one after another, it was already dark and the temperature dropped.

Tanzania has a large temperature difference between day and night. During the day, it is so hot that you want to take off your clothes, but at night, it is so cold that you shiver.

"I feel a little cold, it seems that the wind is blowing." Sarah sat up and said.

"Then come over and enjoy the fire." Noah stood up and threw some firewood into the fire. Such a temperature difference was nothing to him, not to mention they still had a fire. As long as they sat by the fire, they would feel very comfortable.

"I don't think I can do without this fire tonight, oh, where are the photographers, have they all left?" Sarah sat down obediently, and then found the three photographers who had been following them every step of the way during the day All gone.

"They left before dark, but they installed cameras in the trees," Noah said, pointing to a machine tied to the trunk with a branch.

"I thought you were asleep," Sarah said.

"Not fully asleep, this environment can't sleep peacefully at all." Noah said, although he slept all afternoon, he was actually on alert all the time, so he knew all the troubles here.

After hearing this, Sarah scratched her hair and said, "It's good that you are doing this. Before I fell asleep, I told myself that I couldn't sleep to death, but I must have fallen asleep just now. I was nervous two days ago, especially last night when I didn't sleep at all. Okay, so I'm a little tired during the day."

"You must not sleep to death in the wild, unless you find a safe enough shelter. I think there should be many poisonous snakes on this plain." Noah said.

This is his habit all the time. If he can't guarantee complete safety, he won't let himself fall into a deep sleep unless his body really can't bear it.And this good habit has saved him many times.

"I can't help this, so I think we should take turns at the vigil tonight, what do you think," Sara suggested.

"Yes, I have no objection." Noah nodded. It is the most fair for the three of them to take turns to watch the night, but he felt that some people might not like it.

He guessed right, and Laura, who had finally woken up from her doze, said immediately after hearing this sentence: "I disagree, we are girls, we should have more rest, night watch is done by men. "

The author has something to say: Double Twelve is coming soon, but I have already spent all my money on Double Eleven, crying helplessly with my empty wallet.
