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

Chapter 185 – Black Bear, Cave, Snare

Everyone thought that Bell was going to tell an inspirational story.

Unexpectedly, the mood of the story changed halfway.

This stunned the audience.

Bell continued, “This mountain range is hundreds of kilometers long. Let’s not talk about how his willpower was, just in this mountain range, there are hundreds of brown bears and black bears. In addition, there are also coyotes. In this wilderness, no matter which one he encounters, he will definitely die. But he survived, so it’s not an exaggeration to say that he was really lucky.”

“In the wild, we don’t dare to gamble on this luck. Once our legs lose their ability to move, our deaths are basically certain.”

The audience fell silent after hearing Bell’s words.

Just as Bell had said, it was really too lucky for the character of The Revenant to survive.

No one knew what to say.

While talking, Bell and the other two had already arrived at a relatively flat place.

They gathered some dead branches and took out the bowstring he had made yesterday.

Soon, a fire was lit again.

At this moment, the three of them already felt like their feet were gone. They took off their shoes and socks with great effort and felt that their feet were like iron, completely numb.

Bell rubbed his feet for a while and felt the long-lost temperature before heaving a sigh of relief.

They only needed to wait for their shoes and socks to dry.

Leaning on the ground, Bell’s expression softened.

“Looks like we escaped death.

However, we cannot not let down our guard yet. The day is less than seven hours here.

We have to make good use of every minute.

In fact, we can only use four hours a day to travel. The remaining three hours need to be used to build a shelter and find food.

Don’t try to walk at night here.

Because the temperature here drops sharply at night.

Trust me, that is definitely not what you want to experience.

Just stay at the shelter at night. ”

As the flames in the fire kept jumping, white smoke came out of their shoes and socks.

After drying for half an hour, after the socks and shoes stopped producing water vapor, Bell touched them gently and found that they were already dry.

He wore them again, and a warm feeling swept through his body.

He felt much better.

“Alright, everyone, there are still two to three hours before nightfall.

We need to find a suitable shelter while traveling. ”

Let’s go. Are your shoes and socks dry?”

He turned to look at his team members.

Ped and the man nodded.

As time passed, there was very little snow on the ground. Most of it was lush green plants.

This proved that the direction Bell was going was correct. They were indeed heading inland.

“We can clearly feel that the surrounding temperature is gradually increasing. It’s not as cold as before.”

“This is good news.”

The light in the forest was dimming.

They knew that this was a sign that night was coming.

But Bell had yet to find a suitable place to make a shelter.

Suddenly, Bell’s eyes lit up.

“Look there!”

Following Bell’s gaze, they saw a cave beside a large tree.

He walked over with Ped and the man and carefully observed it.

“This should be a cave used by black bears for hibernation.

As for why it’s not a cave of brown bears, brown bears are larger. This cave can’t accommodate them.”

After throwing a few stones and confirming that there were no black bears in the cave, Bell carefully walked in.

Walking into the cave, the three of them realized that the space was quite large. They could lie down comfortably.

Most importantly, it was very dry here. It was not as cold as outside.

“This cave is a very good shelter. Moreover, in this dry environment, we just need to find some weeds to lay on the ground and we can have a good sleep.

However, we still have to take some protective measures. We have to light a fire at the entrance.

Although it is not the time for the bear to hibernate, it is hard to guarantee that this black bear will not return.

Therefore, we have to take precautions. ”

The three of them were very happy to have a shelter. After putting down their backpacks, Bell led the two of them to search for weeds.

However, this place was gradually approaching the inland. The plants were more lush, so weeds were not common.

Fortunately, Bell discovered something else. It was some dead moss.

Bell carefully dug a hole.

“Look, these mosses can also replace weeds. Although these guys don’t look much, they are one of the earliest beings on Earth.

It was because they provided a large amount of oxygen to Earth that the animals began to evolve. Without them, Earth would not be where it is today. ”

The three of them quickly returned to the cave and laid the moss on the ground. They realized that it was quite warm.

This was an unexpected gain.

After gathering some more firewood, Bell returned to the cave.

After a while, he took out the parachute rope from his backpack.

“We have already resolved the problem of the shelter, but the problem of food is still not resolved. While there is still some time, I will try to create a few traps. If I can capture some prey, it will be perfect.

I won’t say much about the use of the rope. I believe everyone has seen its use in my past Wilderness Survival stream.”

“We need a strong rope to make the trap. Now, make a noose. Remember, don’t make it too big. If it’s too big, the prey will pass through it.”

As he spoke, Bell’s actions were not slow. He had already made a trap.

Bell showed the rope snare in his hand to the live broadcast.

“Everyone, look at this. As long as the size of the rope is like this, it will be fine. Now, we will tie the other end of this rope to that tree.”
