[Comprehensive British and American] Wilderness Survival Journey

It took the two of them a lot of time to prepare the food to be carried on the road. By the time they put out the fire, it was already ten minutes at noon.

This is the hottest time of the day, when the temperature is nearly [-] degrees Celsius. Although the humidity in the air is still high, if you are traveling in the rainforest during this time, you will also be in danger of heat stroke.

So under such circumstances, Anthony and Noah decided to take a nap in the shed. They didn't sleep for too long. After about an hour, the two began to pack their bags.

The remaining wild boar meat had been given to the program crew long ago, and now the vacated back basket became their main transport tool.But they don't actually have any luggage, so they pack up very quickly.Noah poured the water in the pot into the two bamboo tubes, put all the things in the back basket, and went deep into the rainforest with Anthony.

The weather was still very hot, but the two of them still put on their coats and trousers properly, so as to ensure that they would not be scratched by those plants that grew randomly, and would not be easily entangled by those small bugs.

Anthony also wrapped his scarf around his head and neck when entering areas with particularly dense vegetation, because he was afraid that something would fall down his collar and onto his clothes.

It is very difficult to walk in the rainforest. First of all, there is no way to accurately judge the direction of travel. There are many trees tens of meters high, which will cover the sky above the head tightly, making it almost impossible for people to see the sky. the sun.In addition, various plants can also make people lose their way. In this kind of place, it is difficult for people to walk in a straight line, and they often go the wrong way if they don't pay attention.

However, Noah seems to have a special way of finding the way. He never stops when he is walking, and every time he cuts off the things in front of him neatly, and then firmly moves in the direction he wants to go.

And Anthony has no skills in this area. He was a little dizzy after entering the rainforest, so he could only follow Noah obediently.

He was not afraid that Noah would lead them astray. They all carried locators and satellite phones. If they got lost or had any accidents, they could always look for help.

Considering Anthony's physical condition, Noah stopped after walking for more than an hour, "Let's rest for a while, Anthony, are you okay?"

"Not bad." Anthony found a place to sit down and said, then opened the bamboo tube hanging around his neck and took a sip of water.

The bamboo tubes are hung around the necks of each of the two people. This thing is a good water container. It is light and strong, and it can hold a lot of water.It's just that the rainforest is too hot, so the consumption of drinking water is much faster than expected.

After Anthony finished drinking, he realized that there was not much water left in his bamboo tube. He put the bamboo tube to his ear and shook it. Hearing the sound of water inside, he grinned at Noah and said, "I really want to get the water out quickly." Drunk."

After hearing this, Noah handed over his bamboo tube and said, "I still have it here, if you want to drink, take it."

Because Noah doesn't really need to drink water, his consumption is much smaller than that of Anthony, and there is still half of the water in the bamboo tube.

"No." Anthony didn't answer, he picked up his machete and said, "We passed a few coconut trees when we came here, I'll see if I can find them nearby, and if so, I can drink coconut juice directly .”

Seeing that Anthony wanted to find the coconut tree by himself, Noah worried that he might get lost, so he hurriedly said, "You rest, I'll look for it."

But Anthony resolutely rejected his kindness. He shook his head and said, "I can just find it myself. You are tired from leading the way. You can sit down for a while. Don't worry, I'll just walk around here, and I can do it with a shout." Listen, you won't get lost."

Since Anthony wanted to work hard on his own, Noah would not stop him, so he sat down again, took out the barbecue and grilled mudskipper wrapped in palm leaves and ate them.

After seeing it, Anthony snatched a piece of barbecue from Noah's hand and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he saw it and started looking for coconut trees.

Coconut trees are very common in the rainforest, and Anthony actually found them after going around, but what he found was not the coconut tree he wanted, but the sago palm tree.

The sago palm tree is also called the coconut tree, and it looks very similar to the ordinary coconut tree, but it does not produce coconut fruit. The sago palm tree produces starch, so this tree is also commonly known as the rice tree.

The local people will cut off the sago palm tree and peel off the bark, then use a special tool to scrape off the starch inside, wash it with water and precipitate it, then dry the obtained sediment and process it into soybean-shaped particles. Known locally as sago rice, it is one of their staple foods.

Anthony wasn't interested in sago, but finding sago palms wasn't all bad, because the small sago palm stems collect rainwater, and there happened to be a small tree here.

Anthony walked over and patted the small sago palm tree, and then chopped at its root with a knife.Soon the water gushed out, and Anthony put the bamboo tube under it for a while, and it was full of bamboo tubes in one fell swoop.

After receiving the water, Anthony searched back along the road. In order not to get lost, he marked the places he walked just now, so he didn't encounter any accidents when he went back.

After Anthony returned to the resting place, Noah let him eat something, and then the two sat for a while before starting to dare to walk again.

Before the night came, they had to find a suitable place to rest. If they couldn't find it, they could just nest in the woods.

However, their luck was generally good. After passing through a section of grass covered with thorny plants, they found a small stream.Then they found a small water pool along the creek, and there happened to be a relatively open land beside the water pool for them to build a shed.

"The water is so clear. Look, there are fish in the water." Anthony squatted down, dipped his scarf in water and washed his face and said.

"It's here, the water is very good." Noah nodded and said.

The streams in Kalimantan flow down from Mount Kinabalu, the highest on the island. Mount Kinabalu has no place to store water, so every time it rains, the rainwater will gather on the mountain and form a waterfall. , and then pass through the forest to form a stream, and finally flow into the sea together.

These streams are the source of life for the entire forest and all the animals in the forest. Without these waters, Kalimantan would not have the rich species it has today.

After the two decided on a place to rest tonight, they began to prepare for the fire.

Or always the most important thing, without fire, they would not be able to drink water even if they stayed by the water source. After all, no matter how clean the stream looks, there will be no cure for germs in it.

Anthony patted himself on the head while picking up firewood and said, "We should have brought kindling with us when we left the last camp, so as to reduce the time needed to light the fire. It rained yesterday and everything got wet I don’t know if it will be able to light the fire smoothly.”

"I brought kindling." Noah said, and then took out a handful of shavings from his coat pocket.

He planed this when he was making bamboo strips yesterday. After roasting by the fire overnight, these things were very dry and could be used to light a fire.

"When did you get it?" Anthony asked.

"I took it with me when I was packing up." Noah said, and then took out their magnesium sticks.

"Noah, what a surprise." Anthony was extremely happy. Although it was just a handful of shavings, it was the best thing under the circumstances.

With wood shavings and magnesium rods, starting a fire was much easier than Anthony had imagined. He lit the flame after only two attempts, and then successfully lit a fire.

There is nothing to say about boiling water as soon as there is a fire.

Noah handed over the job to Anthony, and then he started cutting down trees to make a shed.

Here they don't need to build a too strong shed, so the whole process is very fast for Noah. He simply made a frame out of two big trees, and then put some palm leaves on it to make it A good shed to shelter from the wind and rain.

Anthony was not idle during this period, he cut a lot of bamboo back, and then made them into a platform bed.

With the tacit cooperation of the two, the entire shed was built in less than an hour. Anthony stood outside the shed with his hips on his hips and admired it, and then said happily: "Perfect, I think our skill in building the shed has reached its peak."

Noah looked at him with a proud expression of "I'm already a great architect" and shook his head with a smile, then picked up the empty pannier, and prepared to go nearby to find some fresh food for them.

He wasn't really going to eat the leftovers of those grilled mudskippers and roast pork tonight.

When the rain falls on the low-lying ground, it is easy to form a mud pit. When Noah came here, he saw a big mud puddle nearby. He was sure that there should be some food in it.

In fact, there are many things that like to live in mud, such as eels.This is a snake-like fish. They can breathe underwater. They usually hide in the mud to rest during the day and come out to move around at night. If you want to catch them, you just need to touch them under the roots of trees.

Eels are very slippery, and you can tell when you touch them. Of course, because they are too slippery, it is difficult to catch them after touching them.

But this is not a problem for Noah, as long as it is food that he touches in this world, then don't even think about escaping.

After Anthony knew that Noah was going to catch the eel, he immediately followed him. He hadn't caught the eel yet, so he had to try everything.

"Then go together, but you have to be careful, the eel is in a fierce mood, so don't be bitten by it." Noah said.

"Don't worry, I will be very careful." Anthony patted his chest and said.

So the two quickly found the big quagmire, but it was said to be a big quagmire, but it could be regarded as a small swamp. There were many dead branches and rotten leaves accumulated on the dark mud, and some places were still bubbling. There was a very bad smell.

As soon as Anthony got close, he couldn't help taking a few steps back. The smell made him feel a little dizzy.

Seeing that he didn't like the smell very much, Noah said to him, "If you can't bear it, sit here and rest."

Anthony wanted to give it a try, but he couldn't stand the smell, so he stepped aside regretfully, and watched Noah go down to play in the mud with "envy".
