Chapter 42: Beginning the Mission Encountering Danger

After setting up camp, Wang Zhan solved his food and housing problems, and it didn't take long for him to receive a task order, which was to find an item. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He was going to the woods, but the road in the woods was difficult to walk, and with a sudden rainstorm, Wang Zhan got lost.

Wang Zhan got lost and was in danger of being hungry and thirsty.

So Wang Zhan took out the books to find some knowledge to survive in the wilderness.

Wang Zhan's skin was scratched when he walked through the thorn bushes, and he also needed to be bandaged.

He used a whistle to emit three long and three short loops of sound signals representing the "SOS" Morse code, which can help the surrounding searchers quickly find the location.

Tips: If you use shouting and other methods, it will consume physical strength, which is not conducive to survival in the wild. Therefore, the use of whistles is the best alternative.

During the day, dry moss, animal dung, dead leaves, and other things that can be burned and emit smoke can be collected in the wild, and a large amount of smoke can be burned together, forming a large amount of smoke; At night, you can make a fire so that others can find out where you are.

On a sunny day, if you find an aircraft searching, you can send a light signal to the sky through mirrors, metal plates, etc., so that the rescue team can determine your location.

If you get lost in the wilderness, leave clues such as arrowheads carved into trees with knives, pointers placed with stones, etc., to help future seekers determine where you are headed.

To recognize a distress signal, you must first understand the form of the distress signal. In general, distress signals are divided into four categories: radio waves, light, smoke, and patterns.

Radio waves: The international distress code SOS appeared because among the Moore codes, SOS is the easiest code combination to emit, i.e.---...。 Therefore, if the radio device can receive the radio waves of this code, it is necessary to be careful.

How to identify different distress signals in the wilderness

Note: The position of the SOS in the alphabet is 19, 15, 19, so if such a message is received, it means that the victim is sending a more subtle distress message in an extremely passive situation.

Light:

Lighting: such as flashlights, etc., the switch lights that control the rhythm are three short, three long and three short. This way of calling for help is mostly found at night, in the depths of the cave and other darker places. If you see it, you need to pay attention to it.

Wang Zhan noticed this, it would be easier to start the mission, at least it was much better than the deterioration of the wound, and he also learned how to call for help, and if he couldn't complete the task, his life would not be in danger

How to identify different distress signals in the wilderness

Fire: Three triangular or straight piles, possibly someone is calling for help. It should be noted that the distance between the fires is about 30 meters, so it is possible that there is a distress signal, too far or too close, maybe someone is barbecing.

Wash your hands before treating the wound, preferably with disposable gloves. Hands are dirty parts, and touching a partner's wound directly with your hand is very easy to infect the wound. Therefore, it is important to wash your hands before administering first aid to the injured. In general, regular soap and clean water will do. It is also possible to use running stream water in the wilderness, but try to wash it clean. After hand washing, it's a good idea to put on clean, disposable plastic or rubber gloves to be safer.

Use clean first aid supplies. Clean, qualified gauze, bandages, and plastic supplies with airtight packaging should be prepared in advance. When you go out, you should disinfect commonly used first-aid items such as needles and scissors in advance, and disinfect them with iodophor or alcohol after use. If the conditions are not available in the wilderness, you can build a fire and roast it on the fire for a few minutes before using it, which can also play a good role in disinfection.

Do a good job of wound disinfection. After an injury, the wound should be cleaned in time, and the bruise from the wound should be washed away with running stream water as much as possible, and then iodine phor, alcohol or powdered tablets should be applied to reduce inflammation. For relatively small wounds, a band-aid can be applied after disinfection. If the wound area is large, increase the amount of iodine or tablets and apply evenly with a clean cotton swab, with the help of a companion.

Wound bandages should be firm. If the wound is not strong, infection can still occur. Therefore, it is necessary to be careful and cautious when bandaging, to completely cover all parts of the wound, and to bandage firmly, so that the injured person does not feel tight.

Avoid sweating, scratching, or mosquito bites. There are many mosquitoes in the wilderness, especially in summer, if the wound is bandaged, the hot weather and mosquito bites make people want to scratch, which can easily induce infection. Therefore, it is better to avoid staying in places with a lot of mosquitoes, such as grass and swamps, and it is best to find a cool open place to rest.

Make the most of plants in the wilderness that can reduce inflammation and stop bleeding. For example, large thistle can effectively stop bleeding. It can be used for various bleeding disorders. There is also aloe vera, which can promote wound healing, and the juice of aloe vera has a therapeutic effect on skin wounds, burns, etc.

Rainstorm in the mountains and forests:

Advance warning: If you notice a sudden overcast weather in the forest, a sign of dark clouds, indicating that heavy rain is coming, you should leave the forest before dark:

If you can't leave the mountains and forests in time, you need to find a relatively safe place, but in general, the safety under the umbrella is the smallest, the safety in the tent is in the middle, and the car is the relatively safest place:

For hiking, you'll need to choose the upwind direction of a rainstorm and put on a raincoat, or wrap yourself in wide leaves and tie yourself to a thicker tree with a trekline. The rope should be relatively long to avoid falling into the tree:

Check the local geology, if you don't have a mudslide symptom forecast, you can choose to take shelter from the rain, if you find a cave, but take precautions if there are wild animals:

In the relatively flat Gobi desert or steppe:

Because there are no trees to block it, the wind in the Gobi Desert or the grassland is relatively strong, and it is mainly necessary to protect against the wind during heavy rains. In the car is a good option:

If you only have a tent, fix the corners of the tent in a relatively stable place, such as a stake, or on the rivets that come with it:

Wang Zhan knew what to do, so he immediately took these measures.

Thunderstorm prevention:

The cloud layer can intuitively reflect the change of the weather, it begins to expand, and the vertical direction changes very rapidly, when it gathers black and thick, it indicates that the thunderstorm is quite active:

The camp is set up in the shade of large trees, but not too closely; Dispose of the broken branches around you to avoid being smashed, and collect all the items into the tent to avoid being blown away by the wind:

If you are not in a car, move metal objects, including metal buckle straps, away from the place where you live, because metal conducts electricity, and it is more difficult to attract lightning in an open place:

Away from areas of stagnant water, water is also a conductor in the wilderness.

Having done this, Wang Zhan felt very happy, it would definitely be better to bandage it than to worsen the wound. Learn to send a distress signal, if you can't complete the task, your life will not be in danger. It's time to start the mission boldly.
