Chapter 20 Simple Planer Fire Method

"Sorry guys, I'm going to shelter from the rain now and make my place comfortable. ”

"Luckily, I have a pile of dead grass down here, and I haven't wet much, but I hope it doesn't rain for too long. ”

As Chen Fan spoke, he moved the dead wood he was worried about, and then looked at the drone that was shielding him from the rain.

This thing is really high-tech, and it is not afraid of being rainforested, and it is still flying four blades normally.

Instead of splashing water into the two shelters, it also blocked out some of the rain.

Leave enough space for the lower half of the meter, even in such an environment, Chen Fan still thinks about whether he can make a fire.

Because of this posture, it is estimated that it will rain for at least two hours or so.

Find the dry ones in a pile of dead branches and leaves, and cut off the excess branches with a knife.

Later, Chen Fan found a small pile of branches and leaves under his feet, and laid them layer by layer on both sides and on the top of the dead wood.

In less than ten minutes, not only was the shelter dry and comfortable, but the materials for the next fire were ready.

Looking at the shelter in front of him, Chen Fan felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

patted the dust on his hands and said with a smile:

"In the wilderness, learn to save energy and time.

Like me, it didn't take much effort to build a shelter according to local conditions.

There is still one last step to go, and I am going to start a fire here, otherwise I will gradually lose my body temperature because of the wetness on my body. ”

"Viewers have to remember that when you're resting in the wilderness, you don't have anything on your body, but you have to put something underneath you.

The earth under us conducts heat very quickly, and when we rest, especially when night comes, the temperature decreases, and the temperature of the ground will also become lower.

When you lie on the ground and sleep, the earth will absorb the heat from your body.

Therefore, it is very necessary to put a thick layer of insulation between yourself and the earth.

Otherwise, once you catch a cold in the wilderness, the consequences will be serious!"

In the live broadcast room, after the barrage was calm 666, another series of texts struck......

"The anchor is spreading knowledge anytime and anywhere, bull break, 666. ”

"In less than a morning today, I've learned a lot, how long is Brother Fan's head, he knows so much!"

"Mom asked me why I was kneeling on my phone!"

"Who will help me, I knelt for a day today, and my legs are numb. ”

"Xiu'er upstairs, you all use old stalks, don't you feel tired? I think the anchor should be so knowledgeable. ”

"Even though I know he's the lowest, I still want to go and sleep. ”

"Upstairs, do you want to sleep in a kennel or a mortal?"

"The pig upstairs, your idea is very advanced, hurry up and send it up, and the anchor will teach you to come out in minutes." ”

Looking at these barrages, Chen Fan was amused again, sure enough, this year's barrage is not as good as the previous one!

While watching the barrage in the live broadcast room, he pulled the dry leaves on the ground.

There are not many dry leaves to make a fire, especially since this shack is not very tight, and water leaks in from time to time, so it is not easy to make a fire.

No way, if you don't make a fire, you may catch a cold.

To create the conditions, you have to raise the fire!

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am your outdoor anchor Chen Fan, and now, I plan to continue to light the fire.

To make a fire, you must first have small dry branches and leaves.

This trick can be used when you are collecting branches in the field and you can't tell if the branches are dry or not due to the special environment. ”

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of dead wood, broke it vigorously, and said:

"Hear no, gabba crispy, chicken smell.

When the completely dry branches are broken, they make a crisp clicking sound.

Wet trees, on the other hand, make a relatively dull sound. ”

Soon, Chen Fan collected a pile of dried branches and stacked them at the exit of the shelter.

Then, with the help of a pig-killing knife, Chen Fan cut the area blocked by the drone at the entrance of the shelter into a small fire pit.

In this way, the dead branches and leaves add up enough space to make two of the three elements of the fire, and it also prevents the fire from spreading into one's shelter.

Fortunately, it was a rainy day, and Chen Fan was only worried that he could not make a fire, and there was no danger of fire.

Seeing that the preparations were almost complete, Chen Fan shook the two small wooden sticks that had been flattened by himself, and said to the live camera:

"As you know, now I'm stuck here in the heavy rain, with a knife next to me and nothing else.

And it's still very humid here, what should I do if I want to make a fire?

Now, I'm going to teach you how to make a fire in a humid environment!"

"First of all, make a bird's nest shape with dry materials, hollow out the middle part, and try to keep it as soft as possible.

Then put a layer of velvet on it, so that it can ignite even in wet weather.

Then I used a knife to make a small groove in this small board, and in front of the groove I placed the flammable velvet.

Then, I used the hardest stick, pushing it back and forth, until the spark ignited the velvet. ”

While explaining and operating, I saw Chen Fan put the tip of the branch on the small groove of the dead wood board, and held the end of the branch with both hands and began to rub it rapidly.

"I'm using another method, which is called the simple planer method.

We need not only skill but also patience to drill wood for fire.

If you have dry soil or sand around you when you use drilled wood for fire,

You can add some to the groove edges, which can increase the friction.

In addition, it should be noted that you must not drip sweat on your face, otherwise your efforts will be wasted. ”

As time passed, Chen Fan felt a tingling pain in his palm.

In the small groove in the middle of the dead wood board, you can clearly see that with the continuous rotation, the gray wood gradually turns black, which indicates that the temperature is constantly rising.

Seeing that hope was in front of him, Chen Fan gritted his teeth and endured the pain and sped up his rotation.

Finally, nearly ten minutes later, a faint trace of black smoke slowly rose from the end of the small trough.

Gradually, there is more and more black smoke, and when these black smoke are connected,

Chen Fan hurriedly stopped, and at the same time quickly put the dead wood on the ignition.

Dotted charcoal fires fell on the igniter from the small notch.

Chen Fan held the ignition in both hands and carefully blew on the ignition.

As he blew, a puff of smoke drifted out of the ignition.

Chen Fan smiled at the live camera:

"It's almost done, but it's also dangerous.

You must pay attention not to hold the ignition too tightly, and when blowing, try to be as light as possible.

Otherwise, the spark will be blown out, and everything will have to start all over again. ”

The smoke grew louder and louder, and suddenly a flash of fire appeared, igniting the ignition.

Chen Fan suddenly smiled with joy, put the igniter in the bonfire ring, and quickly added some tiny branches.
