"The rocks here are all wet with the water washed down by the waterfall, so it's very slippery and it's easy to make mistakes. In order to climb down, I had to follow basic climbing rules. Relying on the legs to bear the weight, most people try to climb with their arms, but the arm strength is not enough, but the legs are much stronger, you just need to use the arms to stabilize the body and maintain balance. This is also a common mistake made by some novices and some people who don't know how to climb, many people are used to using their hands to exert force, but once your arm muscles start to ache, you will be very uncomfortable. At that time, you may experience a series of dangerous situations such as cramps in your arms, so you must make sure that your legs are carrying the weight of your body. Because your legs are constantly carrying the weight of your body in your daily life, you can see that your thighs are basically much larger than your arm muscles. ”

Li Changsheng came to the place where the waterfall fell into the water during the climbing, where he could see a lot of green moss growing on some stones.

"There were a lot of loose rocks here, and I had to test the support points of each hand and foot, and the water in the middle of the waterfall was more impactful, which made the climb a lot harder, and it felt like I was carrying a person on my back. Li Changsheng found a relatively flat place, took a rest with the help of this place, and casually observed the distance he had not yet finished.

The last leg of the road is almost vertical. The icy water pushed me down so hard that the chill made the climb much harder. These are all negative factors. ”

After Li Changsheng rested here for a while, he continued the last part of the climb, and finally there were four or five meters away, he directly sat on the smooth rock and slid to the bottom of the waterfall, the cold and biting water of the river almost made him freeze to death, he could only quickly stand up and leave the icy river water under the waterfall.

"The water was so cold that my hands were numb and I could barely hold my fists. Looking back now, the waterfall is much steeper than I thought the sea was when I climbed down. Li Changsheng left the waterfall and returned to land.

As he walked, he suddenly noticed a plant on the side of the road, and he crouched down and looked at the plant seriously.

"This plant is called Mountain Rock Yarrow, and I pulled it up. Li Changsheng found the root along the branch and lifted it up vigorously.

"You can eat it whole, it will make you feel a little old at this time, and the best way to eat it is to roast it over the fire, but it can also be eaten raw. This one is a bit muddy now, but it's a great source of food. Many people say that it is the most valuable food source in the Himalayas, and its roots are rich in starch and carbohydrates, which is not a delicacy, but it can be a slight replenishment. Li Changsheng almost devoured the earthy mountain rock yarrow, he continued along the small mountain road, and soon found another plant on the side of the road.

"Look, there's some frogberries here, and these are these beautiful big berries. Look, it's pretty, isn't it? Because it has a beautiful orange and yellow color like a frogfish, it's called a frogberry. Li Changsheng directly put this baby berry into his mouth.

"Wow. It's really delicious. There is no fishy smell of frogfish, they are beautiful and sweet and juicy. This one is a bit like our Chinese mulberries. Li Changsheng found all the frogberries in the vicinity and ate them one by one, but even if he ate them all, there were only more than ten, and he could only put a little stuff in his stomach to cushion them.

That's the way it is in the wilderness, eat small, eat often, because you never know when your next meal will be.

"It's cimicifuga, look at these. Beautiful, ruddy and juicy, but poisonous, the way to distinguish is that the berries grow above the flowers, which is rare. I've heard that just six can kill a child, so be careful. ”

With such a long distance, it was obviously impossible to cover these distances in one day, so Li Changsheng had to find a place to live now.

"It's almost 24 hours of daylight here in the summer, and you don't know it's 10 p.m. I've been walking for a long time and need a break. I had to build shelter and make a fire to wet my clothes. ”

"In order to survive, you have to keep your fighting spirit alive in the wild. A warm fire may be able to boost your morale to the fullest. In the Himalayan forests, which cover an area of nearly six million feet, one of which is spruce and alder, is the most common, and both trees are good materials for shelter. Li Changsheng shuttled through the rainforest.

"You want to rest after a hard day, but being hungry makes you have to fill your stomach before you go to rest. I came down from the top of the hill and walked for at least a day, so I had to rest. Li Changsheng patrolled the rainforest and finally found the alder he wanted.

"I need about 10 alder seedlings to set up a proper slope, and the best way to cut them down is to bend the trunks until they become tight. Li Changsheng kept pressing down the trunk of the sapling, and a ninety-degree angle had already appeared at the bottom.

"When you get enough force, you can cut it with a knife, don't take a saw. You can tell alder from the leaves, which are serrated and grow on each other on the stem. After having enough alder trunks, now I want that spruce as a roof. ”

"Today I want to build a new shed for everyone, called a half-dome shed. The principle is simple: if I stick the bottom end of the trunk here, pull two branches and weave them in a staggered way. Li Changsheng first moved all the fallen leaves and stone branches on the ground on the flat ground he found, and then inserted the branches symmetrically on the left and right ears, and then bent the leaves at about 30 to 45 degrees.

"Then I knot it with the extra branch at the end of the branch, and it's done. But I need to do a lot of them, so I won't go into them. As long as everyone understands the principle, they are all improvisable in the wilderness. ”

Li Changsheng needs to pay attention to the difference is that the trunk must be inserted deep enough, otherwise it will pop out, and then it should also be noted that the pressure on the branch is not too tight.

"Now that the roof and walls are ready, all we have to do is sit on a carpet. In the wild, you must not sleep directly on the floor, as the ground will absorb a portion of your body temperature. However, it looks like it's going to rain, so let's make the roof thicker first. To protect against rain, spruce trees must be stacked from the bottom and up the top. ”

Fortunately, there are enough materials for Li Changsheng to use in this vicinity, and he even only needs to walk a few steps to get the raw materials. For a single person living in a small shack, these spruce branches must be small, not too large, about half a meter or 30 centimeters is the most suitable, so that the stacking will not waste too much forest resources and improve the effect of rainwater prevention.
