In the live broadcast screen, Ye Xuan is fully armed, with ear caps, sunglasses, masks, gloves, and his whole body is tightly wrapped, looking like a bloated brown bear, walking on the snowy mountains very slowly.

At extremely low temperatures, the exhaled water vapor will condense into ice crystals in an instant, and in just a few minutes, a layer of frost will form on the surface of his mask.

While struggling forward, he said angrily: "In fact, when you are in this environment, I don't recommend taking the initiative to survive. The best option is to find a safe place, save your body temperature as much as possible, and wait for rescue. Safety, temperature, and rescue are the three real elements of survival. In fact, not only here, but in most wilderness environments, this is the most correct approach. ”

However, when you can't call for help or are sure that help can't come due to some special reasons, at this time, you need to consider whether to take the initiative to survive. You know, the risk of active survival is very high, and you should only choose it when you have to. ”

Generally speaking, from October onwards, Fairbanks receives snowfall. Three or four months of snowfall in a row will cover the entire land with a thick layer of snow.

It is better at the top of the mountain, because the constant wind brings the snow downward. But even so, the snow is so thick that you can drown it directly to your knees when you step on it. This made Ye Xuan's travel speed very slow, at an altitude of 1,600 meters, if he continued to move forward at this speed, he would not be able to go down the mountain before dark.

In half an hour, Ye Xuan only walked out less than 100 meters.

Stopping, Ye Xuan swallowed his saliva and gasped: "No, the speed of walking like this is too slow, I have to change my strategy and go down the mountain as soon as possible." In addition to being colder than the plains below, there is also the danger of avalanches at any time. ”

"There is a certain pattern to avalanches, a natural phenomenon. The mountains where avalanches occur are basically not too steep, but rather gentle, and are more prone to avalanches. The most terrible avalanches tend to occur on slopes with an inclination of 25°-50°. If the mountain is too steep, it will not form a thick enough snow. Obviously, the snow-capped mountain where I am now is more prone to avalanches. So I have to hurry down, and if I stay for one more minute, there will be more danger. ”

As he spoke, he began to look around, looking for a quick way down the mountain.

Soon, Ye Xuan's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "I thought of a way, which is to slide all the way down the hillside." The angle of the hill is not steep, and there are no exposed rocks, so you don't have to worry about getting hit on the way down. ”

In fact, this method is risky because it is likely to lead to an avalanche. But he had no other way now, and he had to get down the mountain as soon as possible.

After deciding, he took a deep breath, then ran a few steps with difficulty, and the whole person jumped downward.

Falling on the snow, Ye Xuan straightened his body, like a piece of wood, and slid straight down. The angle of the hill is not too steep, and the backpack behind him is like a reducer, so that his descent speed is kept in a controllable range.

It has to be said that compared to slow walking, this method is countless times faster, and in less than ten minutes, he has already dropped seven or eight hundred meters in height.

As the height continued to decrease, the more balanced the angle of the hillside became, the slower Ye Xuan's downward spiral became. It wasn't until he was about two hundred meters away from the foot of the mountain that he finally stopped the downward trend.

Standing up, he said, "It's cool to slide straight down, but it's so cold that I feel like my blood is going to clot." ”

The most important thing to survive here is to maintain your core body temperature. A decrease in body temperature on the surface of the body is at most severe frostbite, but a decrease in core body temperature will directly threaten life.

After moving his body for a while, Ye Xuan tightened the backpack on his shoulders and continued to walk down the mountain.

From a height of 1,600 meters, it took him less than half an hour to descend to 200 meters. However, it took an hour to walk down the 200-meter foothill, and the travel efficiency was simply outrageous.

An hour later, Ye Xuan successfully descended the mountain and came to the flat plain. Walking in the snow with difficulty, he has been interacting with the audience in the live broadcast room, "Here, you need to keep exercising to maintain your core body temperature." Once you stop and don't exercise for a long time, you will get frostbite due to hypothermia. That's when the problem comes in, a lot of exercise and cold will consume the body's energy all the time, and the flora and fauna here are even rarer than in the desert, and you can't find food to replenish your energy, so you can't maintain exercise, and eventually a cycle of death is formed. This is also the reason why the Arctic Circle and the South Pole are called forbidden areas for life. ”

"But this is only the outer edge of the Arctic Circle, and there are still some creatures that survive in this harsh environment. For example, caribou, snow fox, musk ox, etc. The Inuit who once lived in this area survived by hunting these animals. ”

Hearing him say this, the audience in the live broadcast room launched a barrage ridicule.

"Run, the patriarch is here!"

"Are some animals going to be exterminated again?"

"What the hell are the Inuit?"

"It's terrible to be uneducated, the Inuit are Eskimos. ”

"Dio, then just say the Eskimos, why does the patriarch have to say the Inuit. ”

"It's as if the term Eskimos is discriminatory. ”

"I wondered if peeing would produce an icicle at this temperature. ”

"This guy has a lot of ideas. ”

Glancing at the barrage, Ye Xuan said with a straight face: "Inuit are Eskimos, but you must not mention Eskimos in front of Inuit in the future." Because this is an insulting title, just like others call us Huaxia people the Zhina!"

"The Inuit are yellow and can be traced back to the race. About 10,000 years ago, during the Ice Age of the century, the Bering Strait was frozen into solid ice. The Inuit crossed the Bering Strait from Siberia to the American continent. Eskimos were the first to be called by the indigenous Indians of the Americas at the time, meaning barbarians who ate raw meat. So, you'd better be careful in the future, don't mention the Eskimos in front of the Inuit, otherwise I won't be responsible for being beaten. ”

Pointing to the white expanse around him, he continued: "The Inuit people are forced to eat raw meat, mainly because the environment is too harsh. In the cold Arctic Circle, vegetables are almost impossible to eat all year round, but vitamins are essential nutrients for humans. Although the meat and blood of animals contain vitamins, they are very small and are quickly lost once cooked. So every few days, the Inuit choose to eat raw meat for vitamin supplementation. ”

The Deep Cold bloodline is not immune to cold, but only increases its resistance to cold. Walking on the endless snow, the biting cold wind is constantly howling from behind. Despite his thick gloves and hat, he didn't feel the slightest warmth, his hands and feet were cold, and he was gradually losing consciousness.

In the vast mountains, there is nothing but ice and snow. Ye Xuan had already begun to feel a feeling of hunger in his stomach, in such an environment, in addition to normal exercise, his body needed to consume calories every moment to fight the cold, so it would make him hungry very quickly.

In winter, I believe many people have this experience, that is, when you are hungry, you feel colder than when you are full. In fact, the temperature does not change, the key is whether you eat or not.

"As I've said before, survival elements have different priorities in different environments. Don't memorize by rote, but make judgments and analyses based on your own environment. The first thing I'm thinking about at the moment is shelter, and I can't survive a cold night without a warm shelter. The second is the campfire, which is more important than food and water. The second is food, and the last is water. ”

Ye Xuan pointed to the thick snow on the ground and said, "There is snow everywhere here, and fresh water is at your fingertips. So, I just need to take care of the shelter, the campfire, and the food. That being said, it was very difficult to do in practice, and I had to get to the tree line as soon as possible, where I could find food and build a campfire to keep warm. ”

As Ye Xuan continued to move forward, his speed became slower and slower. The northwesterly winds, which have been blowing down the snow from the mountains behind it, have been piling up on the flat plains. In some low-lying areas, the snow can be several meters thick.

At this moment, the snow has already submerged to the position of Ye Xuan's thigh, just like walking in a swamp, every step is very difficult, and it consumes more energy, and the speed of travel can be described as turtle speed.
