The return time took less than half an hour, and the reason for the fast was that on the one hand, there was nothing to watch out for on the empty beach, and you could walk with a swagger.

On the other hand, barefoot in the woods must be careful of being pierced by sharp objects, and if the foot injury affects movement, it is extremely dangerous for a person with limited mobility to survive on a desert island, but it is different on the beach.

Smash open two coconuts and roast some crab meat to solve the lunch problem, what should be done in the afternoon is confusing for a while, and suddenly I don't know which way to start!

The current state is that there is no better shelter, no fresh water is progressing, and all kinds of headaches of survival problems such as food and tools are in front of us, each of which is imminent, but none of them can be solved now!

In the end, I felt that the area of the cave should be expanded a little more, and it may be difficult to find a more suitable place than this place at present, especially since it has a higher height and an open space of several tens of square meters outside.

And a slightly better resting environment can ensure a better night's sleep, but also add a little sense of security, and my physical condition will be better.

Under the existing conditions, if I get sick for no reason, the consequences will be serious, so serious that I can't afford it!

After eating coconut crab in the morning and noon, there is not much left, but it will be able to make up for a meal, but fortunately, coconut can provide some energy, and it is not the most troublesome thing in terms of food for a while.

I continued to expand the cave to a height of nearly one meter with sticks and sharp stones, and the length reached more than one and a half meters, and although it was still not enough, I could barely sleep, and I didn't have to sit and spend the night like last night.

Unlike the old days of work, time always flies quickly, and when I come out of the cave, it is already five or six o'clock in the afternoon, and I don't allow time to waste on it.

After putting my sun-dried clothes and notebook in my backpack, I started to light a fire to make dinner, which of course is a bit of a misconception to say that it was dinner.

More than a pound of crabs after removing the shell and inedible parts are only left with more than half a pound of meat, if I used to eat so much at night I would definitely go out to the wild, but now ......

Well, it seems that nothing can be expected under such conditions now!

......

Before it got dark, I went to the neighborhood to pick up a large bundle of dried leaves and hay and spread them in the cave.

After a while, as the sun went down, the sky gradually darkened, and on the island, where there were no lights and no entertainment, there was nothing to do at night except sleep.

And the already tired body fell asleep at an unprecedented speed, and even looked forward to the dark.

The quality of sleep today was unexpectedly good, and when I woke up, the sun was already above the horizon, and it seemed that an hour or two in the morning had been wasted.

After a night of recovery, I recovered a lot, but my muscles were extremely sore!

After waking up, I continued to pick up some firewood in the nearby woods, started a small fire, and threw a few of the cassava I had dug up yesterday to roast in the fire, and at the same time smashed a coconut.

If you take this breakfast alone, you may have eaten better than when I used to go to work, and I used to skip breakfast in a hurry when I was in a hurry.

But if you compare three meals a day, it is incomparable, there is a world of difference!

There's a long way to go, and now I don't know how long the days of starving when I find what to eat and starve before I find anything, and I'm actually very worried about whether I can stick to it here!

But the melancholy didn't last long, as the scent of cassava brought me back to reality.

For a long time, the name of cassava has been only heard, and the understanding of cassava is also very shallow.

But when you really eat it in your mouth, you find that its taste is similar to that of sweet potatoes, soft and glutinous and sweet, and can supplement a lot of carbohydrates and starch.

The only thing that is more troublesome is that you have to wait a long time to make mature food, and its characteristic that it cannot be eaten raw is not very friendly.

In the end, I buried it in a extinguished fire like a roasted sweet potato, waited an hour or two before taking it out of the fire and eating it.

After more than an hour of delay in solving the basic food and clothing, I set off again for the woods.

Before leaving, all the combustibles within a few meters of the fire were cleared, and I didn't want to set the whole forest on fire, and then the resources on the island would be burned down, and there would really be only one way left to starve to death!

......

Today I'm going to try to walk around the island completely along the beach to get a full picture of the shape, size and resources available to the island.

Lay the foundation for a long survival in the future, after all, surviving until there is no rescue is the first priority!

Just an hour after setting off along the beach, the fierce sun made the skin have a hot stinging sensation, only to realize that sunburn is also very deadly, and severe sunburn can even achieve the effect of burn-like damage!

Fortunately, I found some wet mud in some rock crevices, smeared it on the leaking skin and face, and by the way, picked a few fat leaves in the woods on the edge of the hillside and put them on my head.

At first, I didn't get used to it, but after a while, I found that it was much more comfortable than when I was naked, so I accepted it.

The process of walking is not like a normal walk, but in a state of walking and stopping, sometimes stopping to observe the situation on the island, and sometimes picking up garbage on the beach and near the reef to check if there is any useful item.

The only way to get tools and supplies now may be through the rubbish on the beach, and if you're lucky, finding supplies can make a big difference to the current conditions.

When I walked, I found that there was seafood on some of the reefs by the sea, which should be a kind of shellfish called oysters, and I dug more than ten of them, estimated to weigh one or two catties.

After a trip, I found that it was not big, but the overall harvest was quite good, including a few cleaned plastic bottles and glass bottles, two towel-sized pieces of four or five percent of new fabric, a pair of broken fishing nets with a length of dozens of meters, and a three or four percent new canned food box!

These things used to be picked up at my feet or thrown in the trash, but now they are treasured and will solve many of my problems.

After two days of understanding the situation of the island, and in addition to the fact that we have already had a preliminary understanding of the four circles around the island today, we can complete the journey in about four hours if we do not delay along the island for a week, and the estimated area is about two square kilometers.

Of course, if you walk normally, you can walk at least more than 10 kilometers in four hours, but there are some complex terrain and other reasons on the island that cause the speed to be reduced a lot!

......

On one side of the top of the mountain, there is a hill one or two hundred meters high, but its shape is very strange, like the two sides of the word "mouth", standing at an angle.

In addition, the vegetation on the top of the mountain seems to be sparse, and it seems that there are no trees, and you can see it from a distance from some points on the beach, but the specific situation can only be checked after going up.

There is a small island two or three kilometers on one side of the island, with an area of only about thirty or fifty acres, which is much smaller than the standing island.

There is also a large island nearly 20 kilometers away, but because of the distance, it is impossible to estimate how big it is, at least it is not too different from the area of the island at your feet.

Other discoveries were a small U-shaped bay on the beach more than half an hour's trip from the cave, with a depth of only two or three meters, and it was a good choice to fish there if you had just gotten the nets.

I was tired enough from a few hours of running around, and I almost got sunburned, but the harvest was quite good, not only did I have a general understanding of the situation on the island, but I also picked up a lot of important items that could help me survive!

The newly obtained canning box was rusty and unusable, and it took nearly half an hour to polish the rust off it with small stones and sand on the beach.

Although it didn't immediately become shiny, it was still no problem to boil water and boil seafood, but the capacity was not very satisfying.

Drinking water for two or three days in a row depends on coconut water to maintain the body's rejection, and the human body is always needed to maintain fresh water, and coconut water that is too sweet is obviously not a good substitute!

Yesterday I found a puddle, and today I found a few more plastic bottles, and the conditions for filtering fresh water are already in place, so I'm going to filter some fresh water.

After cleaning a few picked up plastic bottles, I first went to the puddle I found yesterday and filled a few bottles of fresh water, although the water in it was turbid, but as long as it was filtered and boiled, there should be no major problem.

First of all, the bottom of one of the plastic bottles is burned off with fire, and a piece of fabric that has just been picked up and washed is placed on the bottom layer of the bottle, and then a layer of charcoal, a layer of sea sand, and a layer of pebbles on top are placed from the bottom to the top, and a simple field fresh water filter is made.

If the water filtered by this method is of course not good for the body if drunk for a long time, but it is not bad for emergency use, at least it can filter out more than eighty percent of the impurities in the water, after all, there is no choice now!

A few bottles of turbid water were slowly poured into the opening at the bottom, and the fresh water that fell from the mouth of the bottle was very clear, but this was only a superficial phenomenon, and there were still a lot of bacteria inside.

You still need to honestly boil it in a canned box before drinking, after all, you don't dare to get sick at all in the current situation.

......

For the first time in a few days, I drank boiling water, and I felt a little sigh in my heart, and I was very glad to find the canned food box, and I finally didn't have to rely on coconut water to replenish water!

A can of boiling water was almost full, and I reacted to pick half of the oysters I had just gotten and put them in the canning box to boil, and threw two cassava sticks in the fire.

While it would take a while to start the meal, I went to a distant place to pick up a few coconuts and store them to cope with the risk of food shortages from time to time.

Even if the problem of fresh water is solved temporarily, the food problem still exists, and the coconut can provide at least some of the energy when there is a shortage of food!

There are a lot of coconut trees on the island, and coconuts can be easily picked up, and if you can sell them in the city for money, you can make a small fortune from this!
