"Come back!"

Bi Fang grabbed the reins in his hand and stopped the three fools who were still sprinting, but due to inertia, the sled still slid forward for dozens of meters.

The undulating sea is already visible to the naked eye, and after a long day of traveling, we finally come to the shores of Greenland again, which is much faster than walking on two legs.

Bi Fang took the tools he had prepared from the sleigh, untied the reins of the three fools, walked to the seaside, and began to refine the salt according to the same steps as before.

"I've refined it several times, it's still the same old way, filtering, evaporating, precipitating, dissolving ......"

Until late at night, Bi Fang, who had been extracting for several hours, finally collected most of the pot of sea salt at one time, which was enough for survival.

After obtaining the necessities for survival, Bi Fang also worked hard all day and prepared to build a temporary residence to rest.

After running for a day, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening when I got to the coast, and if I wanted to rush back overnight, I would have to stay up all night, and Bi Fang didn't plan to do so.

And this time coming out to get salt is only the main purpose, not the only purpose, Bi Fang also wanted to see if he could catch some more prey, reindeer, musk oxen, even puffins or something is good.

"But don't rest on the coast, it's very dangerous because you're likely to encounter seals, walruses, and even polar bears coming ashore."

"There are about six species of seals on the west coast of Greenland, and if you're visiting the fjords by boat, it's easy to spot them. These seals generally weigh between 100 and 300 kilograms, depending on the type of species. ”

"In addition to this, walruses in Greenland are also very large, and unlike seals, they are often found on the east coast of Greenland or near the seashore."

"Don't look at the animal world, they are all fat, they seem to be very cute and honest, in fact, the tusks of the walrus may grow to several meters long and can be used for defense, and the males are more than three meters long and weigh between 1,200 and 3,000 kilograms."

"These guys are slow, but trust me, if you come across them in your sleep, it's a disaster."

Bi Fang said seriously.

Animals are not reluctant, weight is an extremely important reference index, and the size of these beasts he said is more than several times that of humans.

Maybe because of its own structure, it is not great for those who are prepared, but it should not be taken lightly.

[My mother, is the walrus so fat? A ton to three tons? 】

[Good guy, isn't this thing fatter than a musk ox?] 】

[One can only eat for a long time, right? ] 】

[Eat, eat, eat, just think about eating, can't you think about its ivory (dog head)]

[After all, it is an elephant in the sea, although it is outrageous, but it is not unacceptable. 】

Leaving the coastline for nearly a kilometer, Bi Fang set up camp in the same place and dug a "snow hole on the top side" with the three fools.

"The top side is dug with the snow hole, which sounds tall, but it actually literally means that the top and side can be dug together."

"The end result is the same: a tunnel is dug to connect a vaulted cavern. The depth of snow required for the cave is the same as that required for the cave, at least 1.5 meters deep, and more than 3 meters is better. ”

"The downside is that the hole on the top needs to be covered with snow blocks, and the process of making and placing snow blocks is much more complicated than digging a snow hole."

"It's just that compared to the snow cave, the main advantage of digging the snow cave on the top side is that it can be dug by two people at the same time, which is faster to build, and there is no need to dig snow in it and then transport it out through the passage."

Although there is only Bi Fang here, it doesn't matter, he has three dogs!

As long as they are given a direction, a mere three-meter tunnel is nothing more than a small part of them, and in the end it only takes about one meter and eight square meters to accommodate two people.

Bi Fang found the right depth of snow by probing and then compacted the snow on his skis at the selected location.

"The cave used for sleeping is located beneath the compacted area, and the compacted snow provides the basis for the snow block. If the compacted snow is relatively shallow, you need to shovel snow from other places on top of the compacted snow to increase the depth, but if we are in the Arctic, the most snow is the most, and if it is somewhere else, we may have to create a place to collect snow blocks. ”

"If it's shoveled snow from somewhere else, you don't need to use your boots to tread it, but you have to use a shovel to press the snow tightly. It's best to compact the snow as soon as you find a suitable spot. Because there are other parts that need to be built, and it takes a while for the compacted snow to freeze together, and only then can a solid snow hole be dug. ”

"Once you've leveled it, don't walk in the area, or you'll make cracks in the snow. This is another process that needs to be done as early as possible, as the snow is firmer when frozen. ”

Yavin

"For example, if you make a path to a snow shelter the day before you move to camp, you can dig out thick and durable snow from that path."

"When the compacted snow is frozen, dig a hole in the center of the compacted area above the future snow cave. The hole should not be too wide, only people are allowed to stand in it and shovel the snow out. The smaller the opening, the easier it is to seal with snow blocks. ”

"Be careful not to immediately stand on the hard snow around the entrance to the cave. If you do get stuck in the snow, fill the hole with compacted snow, try not to cover the vulnerable area with snow later, and if the snow is too dry to be compacted to fill the hole that you mistakenly made, you can quickly create an 'epoxy' with water and snow. ”

"Dig a few feet down and start digging sideways ......"

Bi Fang introduced the points of attention, and drew a circle, so that the three fools began to dig down with all their strength, from the beginning to the end, in less than an hour, a camp that could accommodate one person and three dogs was built.

The next day, Bi Fang took the refined sea salt and got on a sleigh and went home in a curvilinear form, trying to find more signs of animals.

In the middle, I even saw a polar bear lying on the sea ice, the moment I saw Bi Fang, the polar bear did not make any reaction, maybe it felt too far away, it couldn't catch up at all, and lay on the ground without asking, but it made Bi Fang breathe a sigh of relief.

Maybe the polar bear was staring at an ice cave, Bi Fang thought to himself, recalling the polar bear's lazy appearance.

"Whew!"

The huge stream of water suddenly exploded on the flat ground, spraying high in the air, and Bi Fang, who was standing on the sled, pulled the reins and couldn't help but look at it.
