Chapter 41: Finding a Camp and Settling In
Wang Zhan found that the village was very dilapidated, and this test was almost a test of survival in the wilderness. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
So, Wang Zhan found some books he brought with him to read, so that he could set up camp.
Close to water, the camp should choose a place close to the water source, so as to ensure the water for cooking and drinking, and also provide water for washing. However, in the deep mountains and dense forests, you will encounter wild animals near the water source, so you should be extra careful.
Leeward, preferably on the leeward side of a small hill, in a forest or glade, in a cave, on the side of a ridge and under a rock, etc.
To avoid danger, do not have rolling rocks or rolling logs above the camp, do not build camps in mudslide-prone places, and do not camp on the top of mountains or open fields during thunderstorms to avoid being struck by lightning.
To prevent beasts, when building a camp, carefully observe whether there are wild animal footprints, feces and nests around the camp, and do not build in an area with many snakes and rats, so as to prevent injury or damage to equipment and facilities. There should be mosquito repellent, insects, scorpion medicines and protective measures. Scattering grass and wood ash around the camp will be very effective in preventing snakes, scorpions, and poisonous insects. ,
Sunshine, the camp should be selected as long as possible in a place with longer sunshine hours, which will make the camp warmer, drier and cleaner. Easy to dry clothes, items and gear.
Level, the ground of the camp should be level, free of tree roots, grass roots and sharp stones, and there should be no bumps or slopes, which will damage equipment or stab personnel, and also affect the quality of rest of personnel.
How can water be filtered into drinking water during outdoor sports?
There are several simple ways to purify and disinfect the found water source.
Osmosis
When you find a water source with floating foreign objects or turbid water quality, you can dig a pit about 50~80 cm deep and about 1 meter in diameter 3~5 meters away from the water source, so that the water can naturally seep out from the gaps in sand, stone and soil, and then, gently take out the seepage water and put it into a water storage container such as a box or pot, note: do not stir up the sediment at the bottom of the pit, and keep the water clean and clean.
Filtration method
When you find a water source with turbidity, foreign bodies floating and microorganisms or worms and leech larvae, etc., and the environment around the water source is not suitable for digging pits, you can find a plastic bag (good quality, not easy to break) to prick some small eyes at the bottom, or use cotton gloves, handkerchiefs, socks, sleeves, trouser legs, etc., you can also use a Coke bottle, remove the bottom of the bottle and turn it upside down, and then use a small dao to tie out a few fierce bottle caps, and then fill in 2~4 cm thick soilless clean fine sand, charcoal powder, fine sand, charcoal powder, 5 to 7 layers of fine sand, press tightly, slowly pour the unclean water into the homemade simple filter, and when there is water overflow under the filter, you can use a basin or kettle to collect the filtered clean water. If you are not satisfied with the filtered water quality, you should make a simple filter to filter the filtered water again, and you can be satisfied.
Precipitation method
Collect the water you find into a basin or pot or other water storage container, put a small amount of alum or kapok branches and leaves (mashed), cactus (mashed), elm bark (mashed), stir well in the water and settle for 30 minutes, gently scoop up the upper layer of clean water, do not stir up the precipitated turbidity, so that you can get relatively clean water. Generally speaking, in addition to spring water and well water (deep underground wells), which can be directly drunk, whether it is river water, lake water, stream water, snow water, rainwater, dew, etc., or water obtained by infiltration, filtration, and precipitation, it is best to disinfect it before drinking.
The need for fresh water is higher than food. Therefore, the water bag or kettle must be carried with you, and where there is fresh water, replenish it in time:

In general, small animals and fish in the wild are relatively safe meat foods. It is easier to replenish physical fitness by fishing and grilling, and it is also convenient to carry around:

Find a straight stick to use as a fishing rod (it is better if you have your own telescopic rod), tie the line, float and hook, and hang the bait to fish:

Grill fish over a fire. If it comes with table salt, it's better to supplement with salt. If you can catch marine or saltwater fish, you don't need to bring salt. After passing the test, pay attention to burying the fire source:

How to get plant-based foods:
There are many species of wild plants, but not all of them can be eaten. Some mild-colored, common plants can be washed or peeled for consumption:

When choosing food, it is important to note that brightly coloured fruits, especially fungi, are generally poisonous and should not be eaten unless they have been confirmed to be harmless to humans:

Taste and smell, and discard anything with a bitter almond or bitter peach flavor: containing hydrocyanic acid
Discard those that taste or touch the skin and have a dry or spicy burning sensation: containing oxalic acid
It is best not to collect plants with tiny barbs on the stems and leaves, which can irritate the mouth and digestive tract.
Catch insects to satisfy hunger. Edible insects include grasshoppers, locusts, crickets, earthworms, snails, cicadas, snails, knows, grasshoppers, etc.:

Precautions
Don't prey on wild beasts easily, it's very physically exhausting.
When digesting rabbit meat, it is necessary to consume the original vitamins and minerals in the body. It is necessary to supplement plant foods in time, otherwise it will reduce the body's immunity.
Before you are unsure that a certain fruit can be used, you can use the steps of lip licking, tongue tasting and chewing, and pause for at least 5 seconds between each step to observe the reaction. Only a small amount of material is taken during the test.
After reading this, Wang Zhan probably understood, so he found a place to settle down, and then he could think about food and other issues.
