Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? C300

300 Hole

While they were talking, the meat in Bell's hand was gradually turning cold, so he continued to heat it on the fire.

Bell stopped chatting with the audience in the live-stream and focused on the roasted meat in his hand.

Soon, a large piece of roasted meat was finished by Bell.

After filling his stomach, Bell heaved a sigh of relief and patted his bulging stomach in satisfaction.

Although the lynx that he had just captured looked big, it was mainly because the fur on the outside was too lush and fluffy that it looked very fat.

In fact, it weighed less than 40kg.

Its size was just an illusion.

Other than the fur and bones, the edible parts were less than 15kg. This included the weight of the internal organs.

Of course, only the liver and heart could be counted among the internal organs that could be eaten.

Other things like intestines could not be eaten without washing them with water.

Bell naturally gave them up.

After drinking the hot water, Bell was satisfied.

With the replenishment of food, he felt warm all over.

He was full now. With energy to decompose and transmit heat, his mental state was much better.

“Dear audience, I have to rest for a while. Our adventure went smoothly today. Good night, see you tomorrow.”

It was already past 1 am. Most of the audience had already chosen to rest.

Of course, there was still a small audience in the live-stream.

Bell added some firewood to the fire. The fire became stronger, and the temperature in the shelter increased.

Bell lay down again and covered himself with the lynx skin before slowly closing his eyes.

The next morning, it was already nine in the morning.

If it were in China, the sun would be shining brightly.

But in Siberia, the sun had just risen, and the surroundings were still a little dark.

Bell had already woken up.

Putting away the parachute, the cold wind rushed in, making Bell shiver.

He rolled the lynx meat and the two skins he had obtained last night and carried them in his bag. He wore his scarf and gloves before continuing.

With the lynx meat left from yesterday, Bell did not have to worry about food today.

Six hours. Other than building the shelter and finding food, he had to use the remaining time to travel.

The cold air was sucked into Bell's lungs, and the heat from the food in his stomach was offset.

After walking for about an hour, the pine trees in front began to thin.

The coniferous forests in Siberia were very wide, so Bell was not worried that he would not have firewood at night.

As time passed, Bell gradually moved forward, but the pine trees became fewer and fewer.

In the end, Bell realized that there was a vast ice plain in front of him.

Seeing this, Bell could not help but slow down and frown.

“Everyone, we might be in trouble.

There is a large lake in front of us. This area is at least three to four kilometers in diameter.

But before it gets dark, we have to cross this lake and enter the next pine forest. Otherwise, when night comes, we might freeze to death here. ”

Without the cover of the pine forest, the wind that blew on the ice plain carried snow that reduced Bell's visibility.

Although the surrounding temperature was still around -40 degrees Celsius, Bell felt that this place had become even colder.

He bent down and peeled off a layer of snow.

As Bell had expected, after pushing aside the 30cm thick snow, there was a thick layer of ice.

Seeing this, Bell stood up and quickened his pace, explaining to the audience.

“Under normal circumstances, if the icy surface on the water is about 8cm, it can withstand the weight of an adult easily.

The ice layer on this lake is at least 3 meters thick, so let alone pedestrians, it won't be a problem to drive a tank on it. ”

Many of the audience in the live-stream were surprised.

They did not expect the ice to be so thick in this area.

Bell explained, “I know some people are surprised, but in fact, 3m of ice layer is not rare.

In the South Pole, the ice layer can reach hundreds of meters.

Moreover, the thickest layer of ice discovered in Siberia has reached 1.5 kilometers.

Can you imagine what it would be like?”

The largest lake in Siberia was Lake Baikal. But that was in the south.

In the icy plain near the Arctic Circle in the far east, lakes with a diameter of three to four kilometers were very rare.

There must be many fish in such a huge lake.

However, this three-meter-thick ice layer became a natural chasm.

Bell had no way to break through the ice.

Moreover, the cold wind would increase the consumption of heat.

There was no cover on this wide lake. Walking on it, Bell felt like it was late at night again.

If he stood still in the cold wind, his blood would probably completely freeze in less than three minutes.

His core temperature would decrease, and he would become an ice sculpture forever.

Rubbing his tired eyes, Bell forced himself to focus and interacted with the audience in the live-stream.

“Don't think that walking on this three-meter-thick ice is very safe.

Every year, more than a hundred people in the world will freeze to death because of the cracking ice.

Even such a large lake can't be completely still. There must be an undercurrent.

These undercurrents often prevent some parts of the lake from freezing, or the ice layer formed on some parts will not be thick.

The weak point of the ice formed by this undercurrent is simply called a hole.

This kind of hole is usually not big. Under normal circumstances, it is only the size of a fist. It is almost impossible to find it when walking on the ice layer, especially when the ice layer is covered by snow.

However, because the ice around the hole is unstable, once someone stands still on it, the ice will immediately break.

If I were to step on this thing today, this program would probably end here. ”
