It may be because there are often typhoons passing by on the island, and there are a lot of dry wood in the woods, and the problem of firewood is very easy to solve, and it is also a rare thing not to worry about on the island for so many days.

After setting up the pyre, I didn't mean to put the SOS international distress signal again, and I didn't think it was useful here compared to other places.

First, the weather at sea does not allow this kind of action, maybe it is just set up today, and tomorrow it will be destroyed by wind and rain.

Second, I don't think anyone will be able to see it, so I gave up on it.

In the evening, I was a little worried, thinking that fish would be the most common food on the table in the near future and in the future.

Of course, this does not mean that I don't like to eat fish, but there are many ways to eat fish, and with the current conditions, there are only two left, grilled or boiled, and boiled fish is really unpalatable without seasoning, so only grilled fish remains!

On the ninth day, I was going to go out to go around the island, and picking up garbage on the beach is an important way to make a fortune at present, and it can even be said that it is the main way.

But the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and they were driven back by a heavy rain less than half an hour after going out!

The weather at sea turned like a book, and when he realized that it was about to rain, he immediately gave up walking forward and went straight back, but he was still drenched in the last ten minutes......

Not only did I not gain anything from this trip, but I made myself very embarrassed, and when I returned to the cave, my whole body was already soaked, and I had a sense of immediacy when I fell into the soup!

It was very uncomfortable to be wet, and although it was a rainy day, the temperature in August was still not low.

I simply took off all my clothes and took advantage of the heavy rain to go outside the cave and take a good bath in the open air to remove the salt stains and dirt on my body.

I didn't react at all to the last rain because of the cave, and although I can remove the dirt from my body when I go to the sea, the salt stains will always be unpleasant on my body after going to the sea.

At the same time, the daily sweat is not comfortable after drying, several smells are mixed together, not only has a strong smell on the body, but there are a lot of small calluses when you rub it gently.

If it weren't for the limited amount of fresh water, it is estimated that taking a bath every day before going to bed will be a must-have homework.

......

While cleaning myself in a heavy rain, I also saw clearly the wounds I had suffered in the past few days, which can be described in one word as "scaly wounds all over my body"!

Although there are no serious external injuries, there are many small wounds, especially broken skin and bruises, and there are twenty or thirty places.

And there is nothing I can do about it, because in many cases there is no way to avoid it, and the only way to avoid getting hurt is to hide in a cave and wait to starve to death!

I cleaned my body and dirty clothes one by one, and my current state is finally more pleasing to the eye.

Clothes made of modern technology are more wear-resistant and scratch-resistant, but under the scratching in the woods on the island, there are also some holes of different sizes, which is a problem to pay attention to, and the only remaining two or three sets of clothes may be streaking after they are worn out!

But it does prove how bad my living conditions are, and it is estimated that only the whole body clothes are made of Kevlar, the raw material of body armor, to ensure that they will not be scratched!

After returning to the cave and wiping the water off his body, he could only sit quietly in the cave and watch the rain, but it was really boring to sit like this, and he was idle anyway, so he simply dug up the cave again.

My goal is very realistic, I just want to expand the cave to a size of 3 meters long, 1.5 meters wide, and 1.8 meters high!

Because no matter how big it is, I don't have a bottom in my heart, and the cave made of pure earth is not very strong, but if it is made of rock, I can rest assured that the area will be expanded very large, and if the cavity of the pure earth structure is too large, it will easily collapse.

Wouldn't it be a joke if I worked so hard to dig it up and bury myself in it? Besides, I don't want to give up my life so easily!

The rain stopped at about two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and of course the lack of an accurate time signal from the clock was only my guess, mainly because my stomach indicated that it was hungry not long ago, and this time was basically about one or two o'clock.

Lunch is very simple, as simple as only one mango, which is also a big trouble now, every time you can't get out of the cave, you can only stay in the cave and eat cold food without lighting a fire!

It was neither early nor late, and the mud in the woods made me not think about what to do in the afternoon, so I simply took the stone axe I had just made and began to cut down the trees in the open space on the side of the cave.

......

After exploring the island for so many days, the basic situation in the woods can be figured out, except for the cave, which is a good place to build a house, there is really no more suitable place to live like a cave.

There was no better place to go for the time being, so the cave was my only campsite.

After confirming that they would live here for a long time, they were able to spend some time tidying up the neighborhood, because at first they only thought that this would be a temporary station and did not clean up anything.

This open space of dozens of square meters will be ruthlessly requisitioned, and I plan to use it as a vegetable plot, and the grain and vegetables produced will provide me with a certain ration and relieve the pressure on food.

Surviving on a pristine desert island, if you just rely on fruits and a small amount of food you find by luck every day, it is not a long-term solution, and it is good to be full and hungry.

The almost certain outcome is that the body gets worse and worse because of the chronic lack of food, and then a cycle of death is formed, the worse the body, the less food you find, and the less food you have, the worse the body gets, until you starve to death!

Realizing this convinced me even more to get rid of this way of living by luck......

Except for two big trees with thick bowls, it will be very difficult to cut down in the open space, and the rest is basically fine, just because the overall density may not be solved in a day or two.

Cutting wood with a stone axe is a very tiring job, and you can't use all your strength to prevent the stone axe from collapsing, but you have to use force to make the tree have a gap, which is a very test of power control.

The first tree with thick calves was cut for 20 minutes, and I felt the difficulty of cutting down the big trees, and then I mainly solved most of the small trees first, there is a saying that bullying the soft is afraid of the hard, and this is the case now.

After two or three hours, about half of the weeds and small trees in the clearing were gone, which was refreshing, if not a sudden feeling.

The few remaining trees were not cut down, but the bark at their stumps was peeled off, and it wasn't long before they withered and died of dehydration!

......

On the way back to the cave from the logging work, everything was normal, but the sudden stabbing of a small pebble on the ground in my right foot made me react violently.

This in itself is an innocuous trifle, but in the past few days, the multiple wounds on my feet have been implicated by it, and the momentary pain made me almost fall to the ground without standing firmly!

When I found a rock and sat down to check my feet, I found that my socks were worn out because I had not been wearing shoes on my feet, and there were many small wounds and frayed skin on my feet.

This is because I have been very careful for a few days, and I can even say that I have to check if there is anything sharp before taking every step.

At the beginning, I thought about making shoes when I had a wound on my foot, but I had to put it back in the face of great pressure to survive, until today!

I'm glad that my feet haven't been hurt too much, but I'm also aware of the consequences of walking barefoot in the dense woods, and it's scary to think about it.

The state of going barefoot needs to be changed, and it is necessary to make a pair of shoes that can be used to ensure that the feet are not injured in the future, and this is when I came up with --- straw sandals!

Most people have the impression that straw sandals are old objects in ancient times, which are not only uncomfortable to wear for modern people, but also have the characteristics of being unused, afraid of, ugly, etc., and are one of the items abandoned by the times.

But for my current situation, it is the only kind of footwear that can be thought of and realized, and it is extremely realistic and durable compared to other methods such as wrapping the feet with thick leaves.

I have the impression that straw sandals are made of straw that has been dried to remove the ears of grass, which is obviously impossible on this desert island, and if there is rice, I can wake up laughing in a dream!

But this is the benefit of the wild, it grows all kinds of plants, and I can always find plants with similar functions, and after checking the various weeds near the cave, I chose a plant that resembles the leaves of a palm tree.

It's a little bigger than a palm leaf, but it's just as strong, and for a novice like me, who has never done it before, it's obviously easier to succeed with a tolerance in materials!

After pulling the leaves down from the tree and separating them one by one, by twisting them clockwise to form a rope tens of centimeters long, and several more connected to each other to become a long grass rope with the thickness of chopsticks.

After making more than a dozen pieces of rope more than two meters long, I began to search for the steps I remembered to weave.

......

There are many ways to weave straw sandals, but most of them require a high degree of craftsmanship to achieve, and the techniques that are too difficult are obviously not suitable for a novice like me.

In the end, I chose the simplest method: I formed a straw rope into an oval that resembled two overlaps, put it on the ground and pressed it to form a frame, and then started weaving directly from one end, and the weaving process was to cross back and forth between several frame straw ropes, which was extremely simple.

The simple steps allowed me to harvest the first sole after more than half an hour, but the texture of holding it in my hand made me feel that the thick sole was still not enough, and it could not effectively protect the sole of my foot.

I made three soles again according to the method just now, and the thick soles formed by the two stacked together are almost the same, at least to ensure that more than ninety percent of the damage caused by sharp objects to the soles of the feet can be intercepted.

However, before the two soles overlapped and fixed, I cut a plastic bottle from top to bottom with a stone knife in the middle, removed the bottle mouth and embedded it between the two layers of soles, its function is mainly to prevent most sharp objects from passing through the gap of the straw sandals and causing damage to the soles of the feet.
