Chapter 406: Another Problem
It's nine o'clock at night.
When Lin Feng walked out of the madhouse, it was already completely dark.
In the night, there is not a single starlight.
In the swamp, all kinds of strange insects and birds chirp and the terrible sound of the wind are endless, like ghosts crying, very weird, and people can't help but feel creepy.
At this moment, a whole day's adventures had already made Lin Feng physically and mentally exhausted, and he was even a little loveless.
Now, when I breathed fresh air again, the nerves that had been tense before finally relaxed.
"Hoo ......"
After taking a breath, Lin Feng extinguished the torch, and at the same time, with the light of the drone, he looked at the surrounding environment, wanting to find a suitable campsite and have a good rest.
But after looking at it for a while, he found that within his field of vision, let alone a campsite, there was not even a decent piece of dry land.
All around, there are large swamps.
Even behind the opening.
Fortunately, there are several ash trees in the yard that are growing well.
I have no choice but to make some articles with them.
Seeing this, Lin Feng took off his backpack and threw it on the ground, and said while zipping the backpack:
"The ground here is very damp and looks like it's all green grass, but in fact, the gaps in the grass are full of water, so I can't camp directly on the ground......"
"Gotta try to get the camp off, off the ground, friends, remember the hammock I made earlier? ”
As he spoke, Lin Feng took out the previous hammock in his backpack, and found a relatively sheltered place on the northwest side of the barbed wire, selected two wax trees with suitable spacing, and tied the two ends of the hammock to it.
Soon, after a few busy times, he set up the hammock, stood up straight, turned the brim of the cap to the back of his head, and pointed the camera at the hammock:
"Tonight, I'll have to spend the night in a hammock again. ”
"Thankfully, I didn't throw it away. ”
"Of course, this is also what I want to remind everyone, without affecting the load, try not to give up the equipment easily, because sometimes, they will definitely help you. ”
"Whew, okay, let's go on fire, and then go find some food. Fire, it is very important, because now, I can clearly feel that the temperature has shown signs of plummeting, and it is getting lower and lower. ”
"This doesn't bode well, it's even a little weird......"
Lin Feng said while sorting out his backpack:
"Usually, because the specific heat capacity of water is large enough. The temperature difference between day and night at the water source is not too large, such as in swamps, rivers or lakes. ”
"But here, it's the opposite, and I don't know why, at night, it's so cold?"
"The temperature has dropped below 20 degrees now, and if it drops a few more degrees, I'm likely to have hypothermia, which is dangerous, so I have to start a fire quickly. ”
As soon as the words fell, he pulled the axe out of the cloth cover of his belt and walked out of the iron fence to gather some firewood and firelighters.
Because of the climate and topography, or the unique distribution of vegetation in the swamp zone, the surrounding trees are very sparsely distributed and do not become forests, and there are very few that can be used as firewood.
The larger trunks, almost none, are all small branches, so they can only be cut and felled.
However, fortunately, the fire axe is quite sharp, after all, there is an axe sleeve, the blade can be completely preserved, and it is easy to chop trees and chop firewood.
In this way, in less than five minutes, Lin Feng cut down the branches of dozens of redwood trees.
The wood is dry and perfect for campfires.
After chopping the firewood and returning to the camp, Lin Feng casually cut a handful of wild grass, wanting to use it as a firestarter.
However, after nightfall, the temperature plummeted, and the moisture near the ground condensed, and the originally dry wild grass was all wet.
Seeing this, he put the wild grass in his hand in front of the camera and shook it, and said at the same time:
"Guys, it's been another miscalculation. ”
"Because the temperature dropped so badly, almost all the hay that could be used was soaked with seedlings...... So, I'll have to find a way to find other ignitions. ”
After the words fell, Lin Feng pulled out his backpack, took out a pair of gloves in the compartment, and cut them horizontally with a knife.
In an instant, the open tampons appeared in front of the camera.
"The cut-resistant gloves are cotton, and after cutting, we can rub these threads by hand and try to take out a few strands to start a fire. ”
"However, the problem is that these gloves have been stored underground for a long time, so they are all moldy, which may have an effect, uh, try it first, if it doesn't work, then think of other ways. ”
As he spoke, Lin Feng picked up the gloves, peeled off the silk and cocooned, pulled out the open cotton strips one by one, kneaded them into threads, and put them aside in a ball for later use.
Then he took out the tinder box, took out the fire sickle flint and carbon cloth, and began to make fire.
Click!
After only three knocks, there was a little spark on the carbon cloth!
Seeing this, he hurriedly stuffed it into the ball of thread, and blew lightly on the ignition point.
Soon, wisps of green smoke came out of it, but for some reason, there was no fire.
"Please......"
Lin Feng muttered as he blew.
Between words.
Although the green smoke is getting thicker and thicker.
But there was still no flame.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds!
"I'll ......"
Suddenly, Lin Feng complained, and then, he put the blackened thread ball of carbon cloth in front of the camera, and said disheartenedly:
"Still no, it's too trendy......"
"Looks like we'll have to find another way. With that, he stood up and walked out of the iron net, "The wetland, definitely one of the hardest wilderness on earth, is really fucked up here......
"Fuck it up!"
"Come on, Master Feng!"
"It's too hard, bring a lighter next time!"
"Master Feng, don't worry, there are always more ways than difficulties!"
"It should be possible to use tree bark!"
After adjusting his mood, Lin Feng looked at the barrage and replied:
"In the wetlands, it is extremely difficult to find a fire starter, because there is very little dry ground and there is almost all water underfoot. ”
"So, at this point, all we have to do is take our attention off the ground and try our luck on the trees, and if we're lucky, we might find palms, combustible resins, or pine needles or something. ”
"If you don't have any traces of civilization around the wetlands, this may be the only viable way to find a fire. Before that, I used this method to find the palm core. So, when your feet are submerged in water, you might as well look up more often, and maybe you will get a reward. ”
As he walked, after getting out of the iron net, finally, Lin Feng found a few spruce trees with thick trunks and tall branches where he was chopping firewood.
It seems that these trees are decades old, to say the least.
When he got closer, he looked up and down.
On closer inspection, there are a lot of fluffy, flocculent plants growing on the trunk of the cedar tree.
Seeing this scene, Lin Feng was overjoyed, raised his eyebrows, and said excitedly to the camera:
"Haha, brothers, look what I found!"
