PS: Remnant Flower is not in a good mood today. There are a lot of troublesome things to deal with, especially the fact that her full attendance is gone. Because Remnant Flower doesn't know anything, she wrote an entertainment novel ten years ago. Therefore, Remnant Flower's full attendance for July and August is gone. She will have to wait until September if she wants to get it back. She will probably be done by then, so from today onwards, she will only be updating one chapter a day. Although it is very rude, Remnant Flower had the urge to quickly delete the book. After all, full attendance is the money that Remnant Flower saved for a month. Now that it is gone, she is very depressed. Regarding this, Remnant Flower apologizes first. One chapter a day, it will be restored in September!
Although it was not right to eat and drink until they were full, after eating the fish, everyone regained their motivation and began to prepare to set up camp. Compared to Xu Zhixuan, who had professional knowledge, the others instantly became primary school students and began to listen to Xu Zhixuan's teachings.
"In order to survive in the wild, finding a campsite is essential. However, the wild environment is complex and changeable. A relatively ideal campsite should have a few characteristics.
"First, it should be flat, open, and relatively sheltered from the wind. It should be easy to send out all kinds of distress signals, including fire, smoke, and obvious distress signs.
"Second, it should be sunny in cold areas and shady in hot areas. Of course, the temperature here is about the same, but it will still be a little cold at night. Something to block the wind is essential.
"Third, it should be a high ground with drainage ditches around it.
"Fourth, it should not be too far from a water source. It is convenient to get water and avoid conflicts with animals. Also, it should never be set up next to a dry riverbed. That is a very dangerous thing to do. No one knows when a flood will rush over."
After listening to Xu Zhixuan talk about the four characteristics, Pu Baoying asked, "Uncle, what else do we need to pay attention to? Can you tell us about it?"
Xu Zhixuan saw that everyone was acting like Pu Baoying. It seemed that they did not want to let go of this chance to learn how to survive in the wild. He did not hide anything and satisfied everyone. He said, "Actually, there are not many things to pay attention to. As I said before, don't set up camp next to a dry riverbed or a low-lying area.
"Also, don't build a shelter in the wind. I'm sure everyone knows that. Also, don't block the paths of the beasts. Some of the paths between the rocks and trees are paths for the beasts. Of course, these paths are also good places to catch the beasts and set up traps."
"As I said earlier, the campsite can't be too far from the water source, but it can't be too close either. After all, animals and beasts often appear in places with water sources. Campsite next to a water source, you will be in danger of wild with wild animals.
"Don't camp under a waterfall. Don't live under an isolated tree. Don't make your home in the depths of a forest."
"The first few are what you need to be careful of in the wild. The next few are what you need to be careful of. For example, don't poke a hornet's nest for the sake of attracting bees. Be careful of flying disasters, such as lightning strikes, rolling logs, mudslides, and so on. Also, don't shout loudly in the snowy mountains. It is easy to cause an avalanche. The snow is merciless."
When Xu Zhixuan said the last one, he sighed. Back then, he and Bale had gone on an adventure. A new member of the production team did not know about it and caused everyone to be buried by an avalanche. Fortunately, it was not too deep. However, no one liked to experience that kind of experience, including Bale, who stood at the top of the food chain on Earth.
Without waiting for the others to continue asking, Xu Zhixuan said, "Actually, there are many natural shelters in nature. You should all know this, right?"
"I know, a cave is one!" Pu Baoying spoke first, afraid that the other members would take away the only thing she knew.
"You can also look for tree holes!" Jin Bingwan was not to be trifled with. Although he did not have as much professional knowledge as Xu Zhixuan, he had learned some.
Xu Zhixuan nodded and agreed. "You are all right. However, these natural shelters are not all safe. For example, there are often animals living in caves. Therefore, when looking for such a cave, it cannot be too big or too deep. You also need to look for traces of animals living in it. If you need excrement, you will know."
"Using a natural cave as a temporary shelter has many advantages. Generally, it is relatively sturdy. As long as the entrance is blocked, it can be protected from the wind, rain, and wild animals. There is also a certain amount of space for movement. However, the disadvantages are obvious. It is difficult to make a fire and exhaust smoke. It is easy to be poisoned by carbon monoxide. Especially in stormy weather, there is often falling sand and gravel, so you have to be careful."
"A tree hole is actually facing the same problem as a cave. It is difficult to make a fire and exhaust smoke. If it is a large tree hole with ventilation, then it is not bad. As long as you use the gap of the tree hole as a door, the defensive ability is not bad."
After the lesson, everyone began to build their own shelter. Jin Bingwan had just let Xu Zhixuan steal the limelight, and he did not want to fall behind. He gestured to the campsite and said, "I want to build a square shape to prevent rain. I also want to make a roof to block the wind on both sides."
"If it is to prevent rain, it is better to build a slope!" Xu Zhixuan reminded him. After all, he was afraid that Jin Bingwan would be negligent.
Soon, with everyone's help and Xu Zhixuan's guidance, a bunker-style shelter was built. It was not crowded, and there was a little space for movement.
After the shelter was built, it was still early. It was impossible to sleep at this time, so Jin Bingwan found something to do to pass the time.
"Survival in the wild, what is the most important thing? Do you all know?"
"Food?"
"Shelter?"
"What is it?"
Everyone else spoke. Only Xu Zhixuan smiled and did not speak. After all, at this time, he could not stand up and steal Jin Bingwan's weight. He had already won a lot from teaching and building the shelter, so he had to give some to the other members.
"None of those. The most important thing is fire. It is necessary to make a fire. It can dry your clothes, give you light, give you confidence, drive away the beasts, and even make a lot of smoke when the helicopter comes to rescue you. " Jin Bingwan finally came in handy. With Xu Zhixuan's existence, professional knowledge was basically nothing to him. He was no longer the backbone of everyone like before.
"Let me test you all. Can you think of a way to make a fire?"
Pu Baoying was the first to speak and shouted, "I know, use a lighter to make a fire!" As soon as this was said, everyone laughed. Looking at Jin Bingwan's face, it was obvious that he was bitter.
"This doesn't count. You can't use a lighter, change to something else!"
Lu Yuzhen seemed to have found the weakness. He raised his hand and shouted, "I know, you can use a match to make a fire, haha!" He seemed to be very interested in finding the weakness in Jin Bingwan's words.
"Ah, these can't be used. Follow the way of survival in the wild!" Jin Bingwan was a little depressed. He had been caught red-handed twice, so he had to state it again.
Pu Baoying raised her hand again and shouted, "I also know that you can drill wood to make a fire!" This was basically known to everyone. After all, drilling wood to make a fire was the most primitive way to make a fire.
"Yes, according to the records, this was the best way to make a fire in the ancient Li Tribe of the Celestial Dynasty. Use a hardwood stick, sharpened at the bottom, clamp it with two hands, and rub it back and forth on a wooden board with small holes drilled on the edge. Put the tinder in the opening of the wooden board."
Jin Bingwan found that he could finally use the information he knew. He glanced at Xu Zhixuan proudly and continued to ask, "Do you know anything else?"
"Focus to make a fire. When we were studying, we were taught in school that you can use a magnifying glass to gather the sun's rays and generate a high temperature in the focus ruler to ignite a fire." Li Bimo also thought of this. Basically, the extracurricular knowledge learned in school was generally used by children who played pranks.
"There's more!" Jin Bingwan nodded. Everyone understood this method, so he didn't explain it.
Seeing that no one responded, Xu Zhixuan was not included. He didn't say anything and let Jin Bingwan fight for his weight. "In fact, there's a fire bow to make a fire. Didn't we learn this in the previous episodes?" In this regard, Lu Yuzhen and Pu Zhengzhe were suddenly enlightened. However, they didn't forget it, but regarded it as drilling wood to make a fire.
"Uncle, is there any other way to make a fire?" Pu Baoying saw that Xu Zhixuan had been silent, so she took the initiative to ask. Generally, when it came to professional knowledge, everyone seemed to believe in Xu Zhixuan.
"In fact, there are many ways to make a fire. For example, hitting a stone to make a fire. Use metal or your knife to constantly hit the stone. You can collect tinder. There's also the fire bow that Brother Bingwan mentioned. There's a similar method, which also relies on friction to make a fire. However, it's different from using a bow. Instead, two people use a piece of bamboo with a sharp edge to stretch and rub back and forth on the protruding bamboo. Wood can also be used, but it's not as good as bamboo." Xu Zhixuan spoke differently, but he obviously nodded and trusted his words more.
"Alright, let's let Brother Bingwan demonstrate it to everyone. Let's start with the simplest method, making a fire with flint. After all, we've all prepared this!" Seeing that Jin Bingwan's expression was a little awkward, Xu Zhixuan took the initiative to resolve it and gave Jin Bingwan an easy way out.
Jin Bingwan nodded gratefully to Xu Zhixuan. In terms of professional knowledge, he really couldn't compete with Xu Zhixuan, so he said, "Let's do this. Let's split into two teams. My team will learn how to make a fire here, and the other team will follow Zhixuan to set traps and see if we can catch any animals." This way, not only could he do Xu Zhixuan a favor, but he could also gain more weight.
"Alright, who's willing to follow me to set traps?" Xu Zhixuan nodded and didn't have any objections. After all, Xu Zhixuan had the authority, but he still needed to take care of Jin Bingwan. In the end, he was the real master.
"I'll go, I'll go! I haven't seen how to hunt before! "As soon as Xu Zhixuan spoke, Pu Baoying couldn't wait to raise her hand and shouted.
Xu Zhixuan nodded. Seeing that the others were a little depressed, he took the initiative and said, "How about this, Baoying and Xiyuan will follow me to set up the traps. The rest of you will stay at the campsite!" As these two were more familiar with Xu Zhixuan, they got along better.
"Alright, it's decided then. At the same time, observe the surroundings to see if there are any fruits!" Jin Bingwan didn't have any objections to Xu Zhixuan's arrangement. The others nodded in agreement with Xu Zhixuan's arrangement.
"Then we'll be going. Please take care of the house!" After Xu Zhixuan finished speaking, he brought the two of them and followed the local Maori people to find a suitable place to set traps.
