Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? Chapter 287



287 A Vicious Person

In extremely cold conditions, tears would subconsciously fall.

This was also a self-protection mechanism of the human body.

But the tears that flowed out would freeze in this low temperature.

If you accidentally blink at this moment, congratulations, your eyelids will freeze.

The Siberian Icefield in winter was like a forbidden zone. The silence here could torture people to madness.

Walking on the snow, Bell could only hear the whistling wind and the muffled sound of the snow as he walked on them.

The trees that could live in such an environment were coniferous trees.

Because they had various ways to help them resist the cold of -60 °C like their needles being covered with protective, waxy coating that slows water vapor loss.

This was good news for Bell.

Because of their protection against the cold, the wood could be easily ignited and burn longer.

Bell walked to a dead pine tree.

He reached out and patted the tree trunk.

“I don’t like the winter here because it’s too bleak.

It is very difficult to see other animals here. Even large hunting animals like brown bears and black bears often hide in their caves to hibernate in this season and use the fat stored in autumn to survive this cold winter.

But we don’t have such convenient conditions.

The more extreme the environment, the more we need to eat and replenish a large amount of energy to maintain the core temperature in our bodies. Once you find an opportunity to eat, don’t miss it.”

Bell took out the dagger tied to his calf and began to peel the dead pine tree.

Bell did not forget to explain.

“Pine beetles often like to rest in these dead pine trees.

They would lay their larvae inside.

Although these larvae are very small, fortunately, they have high protein content. ”

While speaking, Bell had already peeled off a piece of dead pine bark.

Soon, Bell found a white larva the size of a fingernail.

Bell ate it in one bite and continued to search.

After working for more than ten minutes, he only found five larvae.

“By the way, there’s something I forgot to say. Be careful not to let your skin come into contact with metal in this environment.”

He took off his gloves and pressed the side of the dagger against his palm.

In less than two seconds, the dagger and his hand seemed to be covered in glue. He gently pulled it twice and it did not fall.

“Do you see that? In such a short time, the metal can firmly stick to your skin.

If you pull hard, you will easily injure yourself. ”

“This is mainly because metal itself is a very heat-conducting substance. Friends who live in the northeast should have some experience when they were young.”

At this point, Bell smiled evilly.

However, Bell did not explain the reason.

The dagger was stuck to his hand. Bell could not take it off forcefully.

He turned his back to the live broadcast. Then, a warmth came from his lower body, and the dagger fell from his palm.

After wiping the dagger, he continued.

“In this environment, this is the only way I can think of to make the dagger fall off. Of course, if you accidentally touch your face or tongue, I can’t do anything about it. I suggest you take it off by force.”

The audience in the live-stream burst out laughing.

“Hahaha, how can it be stuck to your face?”

“What’s impossible about it?”

“Previous poster, let me tell you a secret. In the northeast, the railing is sweet.”

“F*ck, are you a demon?”

“I can vouch for it. It’s indeed sweet, sweeter than honey.”

“That might be because of diabetes.”

Some fans in the live-stream lost their composure.

Looking at the comments, even Bell was speechless.

Good lord, these guys really had comments about everything.

He put on his gloves and rubbed them. His hands were already numb from the cold. He did not dare to delay any longer and continued to move forward.

Of course, Bell did not forget to interact with the audience.

“Let me remind everyone. Although the railing in the northeast is sweet in winter, I still suggest that you don’t lick it.

When an Englishman was climbing the crevasse, he could not free his hand and held the ice ax in his mouth. In the end, because the temperature was too low, his tongue and mouth were stuck. He had no way to get warm water at that time, so he could only choose the most violent method.

In the end, a large piece of skin was torn off. It’s obvious how painful it was. ”

“So what does this story tell us?”

“Of course, it’s to tell us that having more skills is not a burden. Sometimes, peeing can help us.”

They thought that Bell was going to teach them some survival skills, but who knew that he would suddenly make a sharp turn.

The people in the live-stream almost could not react.

Time passed slowly. A layer of frost formed on Bell’s mouth and nose, and the bone-chilling wind kept whistling.

Although it was only -43 °C outside, the cold wind increased the consumption of heat in Bell’s body, causing his body to consume heat at the same rate as moving in -50 °C.

He could even clearly feel the consumption of his energy.

It was many times greater than when he was in the Arctic Circle.

The larvae he had just eaten were clearly not enough to make up for the lost heat.

While walking in the snow forest, Bell looked around, hoping to find something edible.

“This damn snow buried everything below.

It makes it extremely difficult for us to find food.

Actually, the ideal outcome is to encounter some large mammals, such as deer.

If we can capture a deer, the next few days will be easy. ”

However, Bell knew very well that he was not the only one looking for food on this icy plain. Other than the Siberian tiger, the tundra wolves were also his competitor.
