Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? Chapter 208 – Troublemaker  

Helpless, Bell could only grab the back of the little guy's neck and place it on the tree branch. He knocked its head and said,

“Stay here obediently and don't move.”

The little Arctic Fox was very aggrieved. It whimpered but did not dare to move again. Instead, it stayed obediently on the tree branch.

Bell ignored the little guy's cute actions.

After settling it down, he continued with his work.

The ladder was quickly completed. The three of them leaned the ladder against one of the pine trees.

With the three of them working together, the speed was indeed much faster.

In less than two hours, their makeshift shelter was completed.

He first used a few two-meter-long branches to build a triangular frame, then laid more branches on it.

Of course, he had to choose thicker branches. After all, this was a shelter for three people.

If it were just for Bell, it would not be so troublesome.

In order to ensure the stability of the shelter, the three of them spent some time building it.

Otherwise, they could have finished much faster.

They lay on it to test its stability. They realized that it was very firm. At least, they did not have to worry about falling down at night. However, the branches felt uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Bell had kept the bear skin. Otherwise, they would probably have suffered again tonight.

After laying the bear skin, he lay down again and clearly felt much more comfortable.

At this moment, Bell finally finished what he was doing and thought of the small Reserve Food he had placed on the tree branch.

He looked around and saw that Little Reserve Food was still sitting pitifully on the tree branch. Seeing Bell look over, it quickly whimpered.

Seeing it like this, Bell shook his head helplessly and carried it down.

This time, the little guy was much more obedient. It only stayed beside Bell and stopped making a fuss.

After a busy day, the sky finally darkened. The three of them returned to the riverbank and touched their clothes. They had already dried.

Bell moved the fire below the shelter.

Cold air fell and hot air rose.

With the fire to keep warm, their sleep would be much better. Moreover, the fire could deter the wild beasts to a certain extent.

They were not able to bring much food, but it was enough for today.

Bell cut a piece of bear meat and held it above the fire to roast.

Bell looked at the shelter the three of them had built and nodded in satisfaction.

“This shelter is not bad. Although the comfort level can be improved, at least we don't have to worry about safety.

“However, we can't let our guard down. Black bears can climb trees. We need to make a device to warn us in advance.”

“In World War II, Alaska was an important strategic base for the United States.

There was once a team of American soldiers who were selected by the superiors to carry out a mission here.

They were experienced and knew that they could not sleep on the ground, so they built the shelter on a tree like we did.

But in the middle of the night, an American soldier woke up and found a black bear climbing up his shelter. ”

Bell paused and looked at the live-stream.

“I believe everyone can guess what happened next.”

Bell did not continue the story. Instead, he took out the remaining parachute rope.

The two ends of the parachute rope were tied to the two pine trees that were about three meters apart, 40 centimeters from the ground.

He then placed a piece of wood on the rope, making sure it did not fall easily.

“The reason why this device is set to 40 centimeters from the ground is mainly to prevent some hares or small rodents from touching it at night.

By doing this, we can make a certain degree of selection.

Once a black bear passes by, this device will definitely be triggered.

The sound of wood falling can remind us. ”

Bell even tested the effect himself. Although the sound of the wood falling to the ground was not loud, it was enough for Bell to hear it.

While Bell was doing the work, the meat beside the fire had already been roasted golden. The oil was sizzling under the fire, and an alluring fragrance wafted out.

But it only looked good in appearance.

After trying the bear paw yesterday, Bell did not have much hope in the taste of bear meat.

Holding the dagger, Bell carefully cut off a piece of meat and ate it.

After chewing for a while, the nervous expression on Bell's face gradually disappeared and was replaced by a slightly surprised expression.

Then, he quickly cut off another piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

“This… tastes unexpectedly good!

After eating the bear paw yesterday, I no longer had much confidence in the bear meat. However, after trying this meat today, I am surprised.

This bear meat is fresh and juicy, and it's chewy. Most importantly, it doesn't have a strong fishy smell like other beasts. ”

Ped and the man were very curious. They quickly cut their share and tasted it. Their eyes lit up.

Just as Bell had said, the meat was very good.

At the very least, it was very rare to taste this texture and taste without seasoning.

Reserve Food watched them eat happily, its eyes filled with anxiety as it kept rubbing against Bell.

It was afraid that Bell would accidentally finish the meat.

Seeing Little Reserve Food like this, Bell rubbed its head and gave it a piece of roasted meat.

It was not that Bell was stingy.

Although there was not much food left, it was enough to provide for all of them.

However, for some reason, this little guy did not restrain itself when eating.

The round belly from yesterday.

Bell couldn't help but wonder if this little guy would die from overeating.

When the little guy saw Bell throw the meat to it, it immediately understood what Bell meant. It quickly rubbed the back of Bell's hand affectionately and picked up the bear meat to eat happily.

Normally speaking, foxes should not be fed cooked meat.

Because they were wild animals, eating cooked meat was not very suitable for their stomach.

In the long term, it might cause some illnesses.

Moreover, after the food was cooked, a lot of nutrients would be lost.

However, it was not a big problem if it happened only once in a while.
