Chapter 051 Is it so magical?
As the live broadcast started, more than 10,000 viewers poured in like a tide. However, in just a few seconds, the barrage of comments refreshed so fast that it was difficult to see clearly. Even Bifang had to limit the frequency of speaking.
【Here we go, front row! 】
[Wow, live streaming so early? ]
[Shit, I was just about to go to bed, but suddenly I received a notification that the show was about to start. It’s over. I can’t sleep anymore. ]
[Fuck, the guy above is awesome, he didn't sleep all night ? ]
[Indeed, since watching Fang Shen’s live broadcast, I have to either make my daily routine regular or give up rest. It’s one of the two choices.]
【Does everyone work so hard? 】
Bifang smiled, he didn't know that his live broadcast was so popular that even his die-hard fans showed up. Now he had no time to waste and started making preparations in advance.
He pulled out his backpack, took out a piece of clothing, took off the hood of his jacket, and then wrapped the clothes around his head like a sleeve, thus forming a double layer of protection and greatly enhancing the warmth effect.
"In cold regions, we need to maximize the heat we get. If we don't wear a hat, the heat dissipated from the head will account for 40% to 45 % of the body's heat, and if the neck, wrists and ankles are not protected, the heat dissipated will be even greater."
"These parts of the body have very little fat and are excellent heat sinks. And the brain is very sensitive to cold and has a very low tolerance for cold. The head has very good blood circulation and most of it is superficial, so if you don't cover your head, you lose heat very quickly."
"So when necessary, we would rather take off a piece of clothing and use it as a head cover, but also pay attention to keeping the head warm. This is why I didn't take off my hat yesterday, but it was too cold this morning, and I suddenly felt that a hat was not enough, so I put on one temporarily."
The audience looked at Bifang, who was wrapped tightly in clothes and a hat, and left comments.
[Arab himself]
[Looking at your thick eyebrows and big eyes, I didn’t expect you to be a foreigner! ]
[This strong exotic flavor, ah, is the taste of curry! ]
【Sand sculpture! 】
After keeping warm, Bifang began to summarize some of the shortcomings of yesterday.
"Today is my second day in Mohe. When I was walking yesterday, I found that the snow here is too thick and soft. Once you sink into it, it takes a lot of energy to get out. So I plan to make a pair of snowshoes first."
Snowshoes are a great help when marching on the snow, especially when Bifang is carrying a heavy backpack.
Wider snowshoes will distribute his weight over a larger area, making walking easier by eliminating the shallow well effect caused by walking without snowshoes.
Although Mohe is covered with ice and snow, there are certain areas with exposed bushes and rocks, so snowshoes are more advantageous than skis and are easier to use for novices.
"There are four main designs of snowshoes: Yukon, beavertail, bearpaw and western. Each has its own advantages, but I don't have the conditions to make them. It's too time-consuming and laborious, so I choose to make snowshoes directly with branches. We can look for branches that have been broken by the snow and collect materials without damaging the environment as much as possible."
【No damage to the environment. 】
[That’s why I like Fang Shen. Other outdoor anchors would throw away a lot of garbage even when climbing a mountain! ]
【Fangshen yyds! 】
[Single forever?]
【Lu Wentao: It’s rolled up, it’s rolled up! 】
After chatting with the audience for a while, Bifang came out of the snow cave again.
This time the sun was shining and the temperature began to rise, and the freezing cold feeling at the beginning was no longer there.
After cleaning up all traces of his residence, Bifang did some warm-up exercises to warm up his stiff body, then put on his backpack and began to look for suitable branches.
With the purple wilderness survival kit, Bifang was already familiar with how to make tools, and soon he found a lot of large branches that were more than one meter long.
"To make snowshoes, you first need to choose trees with dense branches and leaves like pine trees. This is not a problem in the Greater Khingan Range because the most abundant trees here are larch and birch. Then you tie the bottoms of these branches together."
Bifang rolled the thin cloth strips into ropes, then tied the bottoms of the large branches he picked up together, loosely gathering the branches together along a midpoint. Next, he used a strap to tie the shoes to the front 1/3 of the branch snowshoes.
A pair of simple snowshoes was made. Bifang stood up and walked around. Although he was not used to it, he could already stand on the snow. When he walked, only a rough outline was left and he could not sink into the snow at all.
[Is that you, Donald Duck? Do you remember me? I’m Mickey! Mickey by Daming Lake! ]
[Too many elements...]
[Oh my god, is it so magical? ]
With snowshoes, Bifang could achieve twice the result with half the effort and travel much faster.
"Unfortunately, the yageda I had yesterday were not enough to eat. I am not strong enough now, so I must find some food as soon as possible. It would be even better if I could catch some animals."
Bifang took out his kettle, replenished his water, looked around, and explained his next action plan to the audience.
There is still white snow all around, with occasional exposed gray rocks. If it weren't for the trees, one would doubt that this is a dead place. What kind of animals can be caught in such a place?
"In the Greater Khingan Range, there is an old saying that goes, 'Hit roe deer with a stick and scoop fish with a ladle, and pheasants fly into the rice pot.' Even the freezing cold in Mohe is not a dead end. Although roe deer cannot be hunted now, it is enough to prove that the Greater Khingan Range is rich in resources, especially in winter. If we can find a river, we can start our fishing plan!"
[666, are you going to catch those swimming in the river this time?]
[It’s so cold, the river must be frozen, right? How can we catch fish? ]
[It seems that it is easier to catch fish when it is frozen? I often see fish jump out of a hole in the river.]
"That's not necessarily true." Bifang shook his head after seeing the barrage.
"Whether a river freezes or not depends on the weather and its fluidity. There are many unfrozen rivers in the Greater Khingan Range. These rivers can still flow even at minus 30 degrees Celsius!"
Walking on the snow, Bifang continued to move towards the low-lying areas, making some explanations as he went along.
The terrain of the Greater Khingan Range is special, with wetlands widely distributed here. This is because streams flow out from the gullies on the Greater Khingan Range and gather at the foot of the mountain. Due to the low terrain and poor drainage, coupled with the widespread underground permafrost, the accumulated water is difficult to seep, thus forming wetlands.
This kind of terrain is generally fertile and the water is not deep, so you can catch a lot of fish without having to go deep.
"So just like before, as long as we follow the terrain to the lower place, we are likely to encounter a river. This time it is not for water, but for food. Whether it is frozen or flowing, it is good news for us."
He was really hungry. From yesterday till now, his only energy intake was those red fruits, which was not enough to replenish the calories and energy consumed by Bifang!
However, this weather...
Bifang raised his head, looked at the sun in the sky, and squinted slightly.
