Chapter 254 [The Beginning of Camping and Hunting]
The so-called sauna is steaming, and the mist formed by pouring water on the red-hot pebbles makes the whole sauna foggy. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Everyone soaked in the bath and drank 100-year-old red wine, chatting about interesting anecdotes about the sauna, especially Hans, who is a Nordic person, talked about the topic of sauna and had the most right to speak.
We will introduce you to how the Finns, the ancestors of saunas, used to take saunas. "Now in the sauna, those Nordic words are just children's toys, and the real sauna is done in the wild, and the scene is shocking. ”
Yang Yong asked puzzled. "Northern Europe, which is also located in the Arctic Circle, is not much warmer than Alaska, how to wash in the sauna in the wild. ”
Willis, who was on the side, swallowed a wriggling oyster and nodded.
"David is right, how to wash in the wild, it's cold and snowy, there is no such condition!"
Hans drank the red wine from his glass, and then explained to the three of them with a laugh.
"Don't believe it, when the Finns take a sauna, they make an enclosed space on the outskirts of the field with pine branches and reindeer leather, and then send hot stones into the enclosed space. ”
"Pouring snow on the hot stones, so that a mist is formed, the leather insulation performance of the reindeer is called a good, plus the space is small, why can't you take a sauna, this is not over, there is even more. ”
The three of them looked at Hans with their eyes like curious babies, waiting for the man to explain to him, what kind of special skills do Finns have in the sauna? Hans did not disappoint the three of them, and said with a smile after eating a few pieces of lobster meat on the plate.
"Everyone knows that 80% of Finland is in the Arctic Circle, and the climate is cold, with a winter freeze of up to eight months, and you will take a sauna in a closed space with reindeer skins and a besieged city, and then you will sweat profusely and get hot and dry. ”
At this time, the sauna person will open the enclosed space from the inside, and then the speed of the 100-meter sprint will plunge into the frozen lake water on the side with a sweaty body, and this hot and cold stimulation is still the process that Finns enjoy the most. ”
"This is the whole process of the real sauna, and we take a sauna together in the eyes of the Finns, which is like a child's house, pediatrics. ”
These Viking descendants can always conjure up so many tricks in the sauna, sweat all the pores, and the body is steamed pink by the heat.
Then jump into the frozen lake, this extremely cold and hot stimulation is really unbearable for ordinary people, if there is a person with cerebrovascular disease like this, it is estimated that the blood vessels will burst on the spot.
But saunas do exist, and Hans is not wrong at all, but no matter how much the Finns do it, it has nothing to do with everyone.
It's just a fun conversation about how the Finns take a sauna, and after a long soaking in the pool, the brothers sit around the steaming rocks, chatting and joking with each other.
The body can't stop sweating that is called a cool, plus wine and food as an embellishment, a wash for more than two hours, after the sky is completely dark, the four brothers, this also wore bathrobes back to the wooden villa, and then went back to the room to change clothes and have dinner.
The rest of the time was mainly rest, and early on the morning of the third day, everyone packed up, put their beloved shotguns on their backs, put all their luggage on the dog sled, and followed the guide to start scattering and parting ways, each looking for their own prey.
In fact, everyone agrees that hunting is not a necessary means of survival, but just a process of entertainment, and there is no need to kill all wild animals.
Moreover, hunting abides by the principle of hitting the big and keeping the small, and keeping the male and the mother, and it is impossible to kill all the prey, large and small, which is destroying the environment, rather than enjoying the process of hunting, so everyone has reached a consensus.
Each person set up a dog sled, with luggage and a guide, and their own personal bodyguard, shouted and set off, and then scattered in all directions.
Yang Yong's choice of hunting location is not the northern valley, which is called the Grizzly Bear Valley, Yang Yong's first goal is to hunt grizzly bears, after all, it is now the middle of October, and the brown bears have entered a semi-dormant state.
Yang Yong is the target of Yang Yong, while the female bears with their cubs have already gone into their burrows and gone dormant to wait for the next spring.
There are only four people in Yang Yong, one driving the sled to command the sled dog, and this driver also acts as a cook, handyman and other roles. There is also a yellow-skinned, black-eyed, black-haired Eskimo who serves as a hunting guide from the guide, and the rest is Yang Yong's personal bodyguard Smith.
The four of them set off north, until they were more than ten kilometers away, still behind a leeward rock, and ate some dry food to rest.
Because of the existence of the villa, there are no large wild animals within a radius of ten kilometers around the villa, but there are more rabbits and fire foxes, and if you want to hunt large carnivores, or some predators must get farther away.
If you are lucky enough to set up camp in the wild and look for it, you may be able to find large predators such as brown bears that are not hibernating.
Since it was not so easy to start a fire in the snow, I just took a break at noon to eat a little hamburger and bread and other fast food, did not light a bonfire, and after eating and drinking enough and resting for ten minutes, I was urged by the guide.
Yang Yong began to ride 25 sled dogs on top of the large sleds and continued along the forest gaps, sometimes when there were many uphill slopes or obstacles, everyone would walk down the sleds and walk forward.
At this time, it is the most tiring, one is because the uphill people must be tired when walking, and the other reason is that it is snowing heavily, and it is particularly difficult to walk, and even some sunny places are frozen and particularly slippery, and it is very slow to walk.
Yang Yong was tired of this way, but no matter how tired Yang Yong was, he would persevere, because the number of large animals encountered on the road began to increase, and Yang Yong even used a telescope to observe that behind the small hill, a female brown bear and three cubs were staggering in the snow to search for the last grass roots.
Seeing the slow movement of the female bear, the guide explained to Yang Yong that the female bear was already in a semi-dormant state at this time, but in order to breastfeed a few cubs, the female bear would seize every opportunity to eat it in her stomach, so that she could accumulate enough fat to breastfeed the cubs for the half-year freezing period to ensure that these cubs could survive this winter.
Whether it is a human or an animal, maternal love is a great product after all, in order to ensure the survival of her children, the mother can burst out with the power that makes all living things tremble, which is why professional hunters never attack female beasts.
Yang Yong was particularly excited when he saw the signs of activity of the mother bear and the cub, which proved that the male bears who had not been dragged down had not yet entered the burrow to hibernate in the ground, and the target of his hunting with so much effort was not these brown bears that had not entered the dormant period.
This is a good omen, and it is also a good route, it seems that his guide is very powerful, if Yang Yong can hunt enough brown bears, Yang Yong will not hesitate to give his guide some rewards when he returns to the wooden villa. (To be continued.) )
