Chapter 0353 - The Hinterland of the South of North America - Ghost Swamp!(4.2K, Ask for Subscription!)
(Thanks to her for being a little tsundere boss's ten thousand rewards, I owe 6)
Lin Feng never thought that he would one day be able to be on the list of "Wild Hall of Fame".
In the previous life, the deeds of those adventure gods in the Hall of Fame made him enthusiastic.
Especially the deeds of John Goddard.
At the age of 15, the senior compiled a list of 127 goals to achieve in his life, vowing not to waste his life, and these goals were some very risky activities.
Later, he accomplished most of these goals, navigating five of the world's eight major rivers, including the Nile, Amazon, and Congo.
During his expedition, Goddard studied the primitive civilizations of Congo, Australia, Ethiopia and Alaska, climbed 12 of the world's highest mountains, and visited 30 countries around the world.
Lin Feng has also fantasized more than once that one day, he can be like Goddard and ascend to the top of the Hall of Fame, and not let his life go to waste!
Now, this wish has come true, even a little unexpectedly.
As an outdoor streamer, it is indeed an exciting thing to be on such a well-known list.
Don't look at outdoor sports as a small circle.
But to be able to occupy a place in such a heavyweight ranking is enough to prove that this person's achievements are extremely influential.
Many well-known explorers have spent their entire lives unable to leave their names on it.
And Lin Feng, as a young Chinese man in his 20s, has proved himself in a very short period of time and surpassed his predecessors.
It's staggering.
He is the youngest explorer to be inducted into the Wilderness Hall of Fame since the last century.
At the same time, it is also a miracle in the history of outdoor sports.
Overnight, Lin Feng's name became popular all over the world and became the talk of many people after dinner.
Before that, he was only a little famous in the outdoor circle.
However, today, after watching Lin Feng's video, many outsiders have also become extremely interested in wilderness survival and outdoor adventure!
Outdoor sports are beginning to be known by more and more people.
People's impression of the outdoors is no longer limited to extreme sports and wild camping, but is in full bloom.
I have to say, this is definitely a huge change!
On the day National Geographic announced its annual Hall of Fame, Lin Feng's Twitter followers skyrocketed by millions!
And some domestic media, after reporting on this incident, also caused an uproar.
Lin Feng's social accounts, including Weibo, Tieba, tribe and some self-media websites, have also gained a lot of attention and become the focus of the public.
……
Soon, the time came in mid-May.
After a period of rehabilitation and restorative training, Lin Feng's body has almost recovered.
During this period, he took video footage under the arrangement of the staff, and at the same time went to the island of Eurodia, where he collected all the bottles and survival tools he had made before, and prepared them to be used as materials for the BUSH Cultural Collection.
In this way, he was busy in Fiji for nearly half a month before returning to the United States.
After arriving in the United States, Lin Feng first went to the headquarters of the Discovery Channel, met with Bill and Hum Derey, did a handover, and also participated in the editing of "Desert Island".
For this video, he still values it very much, and wants to do it himself, only take the essence, and show the best side to the audience.
"Desert Island Survivors" will premiere on North American channels next month.
At the end of May, after dealing with the affairs of the United States, Lin Feng booked a ticket to return to China, returned to Xijing, and was ready to rest for a while, see the progress of his parents and the tourism project, and strive to put it into operation as soon as possible.
After two months of absence, Lin Feng bought a lot of gifts for his parents, and they had everything to eat.
My mother leads the group all the year round, and she often has back pain, she used to have no conditions, but now it is different, Lin Feng directly spent tens of thousands of yuan to buy an imported massage chair and gave it to Lin's mother.
Dad Lin usually doesn't have any hobbies, he just likes to drink tea, so Lin Feng dragged Wang Kai and got some Zhengshan small seeds from his friend.
Family reunion is the happiest thing in the world.
As soon as the second elder saw Lin Feng, he shushed and asked for warmth, smiling happily, and when it came to emotion, Lin's mother almost cried.
Children travel thousands of miles, as an elder, there is no reason not to worry.
Lin Feng comforted him for a while, and the stone hanging in his parents' hearts fell to the ground.
After staying at home for a few days, Lin Feng left for Lantian again, met with Li Mingda and Wang Kai, and chatted briefly.
The project is progressing well.
The renovation project has been almost completed, and it can be opened at any time as long as the formalities are in place.
In addition, in terms of publicity, because he had previously communicated with the people on the 8264 forum.
Within a few days, the ad was up.
The traffic is not bad.
This should be the first tourism project in China that focuses on the outdoors, so as soon as the post was published, it attracted many onlookers.
In recent days, Lin Feng also showed his face in the post and posted a reply.
In this way, many friends who paid attention to his dynamics rushed to post Lin Feng as soon as possible.
So far, the number of reviews has soared to nearly 10,000 floors.
"Capture a wild Feng Ye alive!"
", Master Feng is here!"
"Hello Okami, goodbye Okami!"
"Recommended by Master Feng, have you a chance to try it?"
"Survival Club in the Wilderness?
"By the way, can you see Feng Ye himself?"
More and more people asked, and in the end, Lin Feng had to reply in a unified manner below.
"Thank you for your support, this is a club that I have partnered with my friends, and the survival experience courses and hiking trails in it are all designed by me, and you are welcome to come and experience them. ”
Subsequently, he reposted 8264's posts on Weibo, Tieba, and Yuba respectively, and opened a daily live broadcast to tell everyone about it.
Water friends are still very interested in this club, and they are clamoring to experience it once.
After all, outdoor travel routes are safer and more secure than going out by yourself.
It's still great to be able to experience the fun of the wilderness and learn practical survival skills, and some avid fans can't wait.
Lin Feng had no choice but to inform everyone in the live broadcast that it was not officially operated yet, and when it was time for the trial operation, he would definitely notify everyone on Weibo.
After dealing with the matter at hand, staying in Xijing for a total of two weeks, and resting about the same, Lin Feng adjusted his state and began to study the location of the next live broadcast.
Originally, he wanted to record an issue in China and challenge the more difficult map.
But later, because of the fact that "Conquest of the Wilderness" premiered in North America, and the second season is about to meet everyone.
In order to increase the audience's sense of scene-based substitution, Lin Feng finally decided that the next live broadcast would be recorded in the United States to increase a wave of ratings.
He made a transatlantic call to Marianne and told her what he thought.
In this regard, she still agrees with it and says that there is no problem.
After everything was finalized, Lin Feng immediately bought an international flight to Washington the next day, stayed at home for another day, said goodbye to his parents, ended his long vacation early, and flew directly to the United States!
When he was on the plane, he turned on the system, called up the map database, and studied it.
The target, of course, is the continental United States.
As the second largest country in the Americas, the barren land of the United States is innumerable.
Mountains, deserts, wastelands, swamps, jungles, you name it.
Wilderness is everywhere.
Every year, countless backpackers and hikers set foot on this land, and accidents are frequent.
In 2018 alone, hundreds of tourists were lost in this land.
Alaska, the Rocky Mountains, Sierra Nevada, the Missouri Valley, Farrier Bay, Antelope Canyon, and so on.
In the end, Lin Feng considered it for a while and decided to choose the most representative map that was different from previous live broadcasts.
So, he set his sights on the southern part of North America - Louisiana!
Louisiana is a state in the southern United States, located on the Gulf Coast, in the lower reaches of the Mississippi River.
It is bordered by Arkansas to the north, Texas to the west, and Mississippi to the east, and has a typical subtropical climate.
The topography of Louisiana can be roughly divided into two categories.
One is the alluvial plain, which borders the southern coast.
The second is the highlands, which are mainly located in the north.
And what Lin Feng wanted to challenge was a swampy zone in the southern hinterland—Manchak Marsh!
This jungle-swamp belt, near New Orleans, is world-famous.
Because of its terrifying devouring ability, it is also called the Ghost Swamp!
Legend has it that in the 20s of the last century, it was favored by a Voodoo queen, who loved the scenery and wanted to occupy it.
Unexpectedly, however, it provoked a strong resistance from the locals, and the queen angrily used black magic to cause a hurricane that swept all three surrounding villages into the swamp.
Since then, the swamp has become so dangerous that the locals call it the "Ghost Swamp".
Although the queen is a legend, the thing that devoured the village and its inhabitants is true.
At the beginning of the last century, in the Manchak area, this strange thing really happened.
And voodoo is indeed all the rage here.
This sect, originally originating in West Africa, is a primitive religion that combines ancestor worship, animism, and spiritism.
Their beliefs, similar to those of shamanism in China, prevail in Haiti and the Caribbean, in the southern United States in Louisiana, and in South America.
In Haiti, voodoo is one of the two official faiths, and because of the French colonization, the other official faith is Catholicism.
A Haitian might say, "Eighty percent of Haitians are Catholic, but 100 percent of Haitians follow voodoo." ”
The more Lin Feng thought about it, the more feasible he felt, and through the system query, he learned that Manchak Swamp had been rated as one of the top ten thrilling locations in the world by the Crave Online website in the United States!
Every year, countless tourists come here to see its style.
Among them, at least hundreds of people were killed here, or attacked by hurricanes, or swallowed by swamps, and those who are lucky can wait for air rescue.
But more than that, unfortunate!
Lin Feng had done live broadcasts of jungles, canyons, snowfields, volcanoes, and desert islands before, but he had never set foot in the swamp zone!
Such a representative swamp, if you can survive here, it will definitely be refreshing for the audience.
That's it.
There are no words for the voyage.
At ten o'clock in the morning US time, as soon as Lin Feng got off the plane, he drove to the headquarters of the Discovery Channel, met with Marianne, gathered the team, and held a meeting.
In the meantime, he told everyone what he thought.
After hearing this, everyone was shocked!
As native Americans, they know best what Manchuk Swamp is!
Bad weather, complex environments, terrifying swamps.
Not to mention surviving, it is very difficult to walk in.
Many experienced hikers are afraid to go alone because there are so many variables.
Because you never know where you'll land next time.
Is it a swamp?
Is it a quagmire?
There is no answer.
Marian saw that Lin Feng was serious, not like he was joking, so he said, "Lin, I hope you can think about it, the Manchak swamp belt is not an ordinary place, do you really want to do this?"
Paul also took over the conversation: "To tell you the truth, we have a colleague who had an accident while recording the show there!
The others didn't quite agree with Lin Feng's idea, and everyone felt that it was dangerous.
Lin Feng smiled and comforted everyone: "Don't worry, I will take care of myself, so it's decided." Paul, during this time, you took the camera crew and went to step on the spot first. ”
"I'm going to plan the route, trust me. ”
Everyone saw that Lin Feng had made up his mind, so they no longer stopped him.
In fact, they know in their hearts that they can't stop it, and there is always him in the most dangerous place on earth.
There is no choice but to compromise.
After Lin Feng left, Paul stood up, looked at his back, and said to Simon and Marian: "Dude, the terrifying journey is about to start again......"
Simon touched his beard and smiled, "We'll see." ”
Back in the hotel room, Lin Feng called up the map of Louisiana from the system again and began to design his own survival route.
This time, he prepares to land in the jungle of the swampy belt and then head all the way south, throughout.
Finally, we arrived in the Gulf of Mexico and completed our survival.
It is the beginning of June, and the temperature in the southern hinterland has reached more than 20 degrees, and it is very humid and hot, with frequent rainfall and frequent hurricanes.
Therefore, Lin Feng has to fight against the two major problems of terrain and climate at the same time.
The task is still very difficult!
After deciding on the survival plan, in the next few days, the photography team went to the next point in advance and took a lot of photos to make posters.
Lin Feng chose a photo of the dark sky, surrounded by green swamps and strange-shaped trees, and handed it to the artist.
The artist combined his portrait with the photograph to create the style of a horror blockbuster.
After rendering, the scene in the picture becomes more eerie and shocking, giving the illusion of straying into Silent Hill, which is very appropriate for the situation.
At the same time, the feeling of going deep into a desperate situation is also very well set off.
At the bottom of the poster, there is a row of text advertisements in both English and Chinese.
"Conquest of the Wilderness Season 2, Issue 3, the heart of the North American South - Manchuk Ghost Swamp!"
"On June 10th, survival begins!"
After receiving the poster, Lin Feng sent one to Douyu and one to YouTube for their promotion.
At the same time, he himself posted a post on Twitter and Weibo.
"@探索频道@YouTube@ Dou Entertainment TV@bibibibi, the third episode of the second season of "Conquest of the Wilderness" is officially launched - this time, I am about to go deep into the horror of North America, set foot on the ghost swamp, and find a way to survive here!"
"On June 10th, terror struck, and we will see you there!"
