Is it really safe to spend the night in the jungle?

Feng Shiyan couldn't be sure, so he needed to do everything he could to provide himself with more security.

And in such a situation, in addition to this natural shelter, the only thing that can bring him a sense of security is the campfire that can continue to burn in the cold night!

What it can offer is more than just a warm, bright, and comfortable environment on a cold night; It also repells wild animals and mosquitoes, keeping you safe from them during the long nights; The most important thing is that boiling water and cooked meat can maintain your body's needs and keep your body healthy in the wild......

As a senior wilderness survival enthusiast, in Feng Shiyan's mind, there are many ways to make a fire in the wild-drilling wood for fire, flint hammering, etc......

However, judging from the actual situation now, he does not have the conditions and equipment required for the above-mentioned fire method.

But fortunately, he only has one tool that can come in handy in such situations.

It was the lighter that was still hidden in his trouser pocket.

This made Feng Shiyan feel very fortunate that he was still favored - after all, with this lighter, the probability of successfully raising the fire in the wild will be much greater.

……

Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that it was not completely dark at this time, Feng Shiyan, who had no time to rest more, had to stand up again and go around to collect some necessary comblamberies and main combustion materials.

Combustible objects are generally easier to understand, and are nothing more than small objects that are easier to ignite, such as tree bark, paper scraps, pine needles, dead leaves, and so on.

Of course, Feng Shiyan also has ready-made clothes and pants on his body, that is, the clothes and pants that are already in tatters, but they can still play a certain role in shielding.

Therefore, unless they are in a desperate situation, Feng Shiyan will not fight them for the time being.

Eventually, Lu Ming targeted the bamboo velvet, which was probably the easiest thing for him to obtain in his current situation.

This excellent incendiary material can be easily obtained by simply scratching the skin of the bamboo with a sharp stone.

In addition, if there is a way to split the bamboo, the resulting bamboo chips can also be used as a good main combustion material.

Although it is not resistant to burning compared to firewood, it is easy to obtain and the amount is relatively large.

You know, if you want to spend a long night on a campfire, you must have enough main burning materials.

……

Fortunately, not far from the shelter, there is a bamboo forest of considerable scale.

This was discovered by Feng Shiyan by accident on the way to the trek just now, but at that time, he was only bent on finding a shelter, so when he passed by, he only roughly remembered the location of his location.

Unexpectedly, the unintentional action saved him a lot of effort to find.

On the way to the bamboo forest, Feng Shiyan also found a stone to use as a tool for cutting.

In this vast jungle, in addition to the trees that can be seen everywhere, there are also many large and small stones, and it is not difficult to find one of them.

……

After some arduous struggle, Feng Shiyan finally succeeded in knocking over two almost dead bamboos to the ground.

Sweat dripped down the ends of his hair, from the corners of his forehead to his chin, until it soaked his entire body.

Fortunately, with these two bamboos, the logging trip was also fruitful, and in general, there was no big problem in getting through the first night safely.

When he returned, it was already dusk, Feng Shiyan was panting and dragging two bamboos, and he couldn't stop complaining about this cheating system again.

You think, it took most of the day, and I didn't even see the shadow of fire, and I didn't do anything else, such as finding water, food, etc., and I didn't do anything.

It can be seen that survival in the wilderness is not as smooth as it is on TV.

Feng Shiyan began to doubt whether he could survive the 15 days set by the system safely.

……

When he returned to the shelter, Feng Shiyan's whole body seemed to be fished out of the water, but he didn't dare to stop for a moment, because there were too many things to do.

First of all, considering the flame resistance of the bamboo chips, he had to continue to work hard to find some dead branches and leaves while there was some remaining daylight.

It would be nice to find some dead wood—large and flammable, enough for him to survive the long night.

Fortunately, it has not rained again after the baptism of last night's rainstorm.

In the end, Feng Shiyan still managed to find a lot of small dead branches and leaves around the cliff.

Because it is not realistic to ignite the bamboo chips and other firewood with only bamboo velvet, and these small dead branches are the best ignition in between.

It's a bit of a pity that I didn't find a large piece of dead wood, but I found a lot of well-sized pieces of wood, and this collection trip can be regarded as a great reward.

The dead branches around the shelter were largely swept through, and the deep twilight had fallen.

A touch of cold moonlight began to shine on the earth, but fortunately, it was still bright, and it would not fall directly into the situation of not seeing the five fingers.

……

Feng Shiyan began to take stock of his gains.

In one corner of the cave there are piles of dry branches, and on the other side there are some larger tree branches and segments of wood that can be of great use when the fire is lit and set aside to dry.

"Snort...... Laugh at...... Sneer......"

For a while, only the sound of Feng Shiyan struggling to scrape the bamboo velvet was left in the cave.

The soft and fine bamboo velvet gradually piled up around him. As a newcomer to survival in the wilderness, he could only prepare as much as he could, because he was not sure how much time it might take him to make a fire next, and whether it would lead to mistakes.

Not long after, Feng Shiyan's side was already full of thick bamboo velvet.

At the same time, he also used the stones that can be seen everywhere in the cave to build a simple windproof trough, which can not only play a certain role in wind resistance, but also prevent the spread of fire to a certain extent, and improve safety.

Since he really didn't have the strength to carry those larger stones, Feng Shiyan could only hold on, first moving some small pieces of stones to the entrance of the cave, layer upon layer, to complete this round simple windproof groove.

……

Now that the materials are ready, how do you start a fire?

The information in his mind is so complicated that Feng Shiyan can't recall how the gods in those shows make fire, so he can only operate with his own understanding:

First, the scraped bamboo velvet is densely spread at the bottom of the entire windproof trough, and then some dry, finely broken branches and fallen leaves are scattered on the top of the bottom bamboo velvet as ignition materials.

After thinking about it, in the end, Feng Shiyan still spread a lot of bamboo velvet on the top of all the burning materials.

And there are still a lot of bamboo velvet by his side...... It is his precaution and confidence.

"Smack!"

A clear sound of lighter ignition sounded in the cave.

The faint light of the fire illuminated the entire cave for a while.

Feng Shiyan felt a thousand weights in his hands, and the light in the darkness seemed to be the hope he held up.

Protecting it with one hand, Feng Shiyan gently moved the lighter to the bonfire, and the tongue of fire came into contact with the bamboo velvet, instantly igniting the entire windbreak groove like a prairie fire.

With the strong combustion effect of bamboo velvet, the accumulated dead branches and leaves were also successfully ignited.

In this claustrophobic cave, a raging flame rose for the first time, and Feng Shiyan finally felt the warmth that he had not felt for a long time......

Everything that follows is a step-by-step operation:

Pile up the dead branches that are still a little damp next to the fire to dry, and then throw bamboo chips and dried wood into the fire that is getting stronger.

Looking at the rock wall illuminated by the firelight, listening to the sound of crackling bamboo pieces is like a lullaby.

Feng Shiyan, who was extremely relaxed, gradually fell into a deep sleep......
