Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness?-Chapter 284

284 Siberian Tiger, Choosing Location

When Bell was browsing the photos of the Siberian tigers online, he could already feel the pressure from the top of the food chain.

Fortunately, the number of wild Siberian tigers had decreased. Even in the entire Far East Siberia, there were less than 500 of them.

Therefore, the possibility of encountering them was very low.

What Bell really needed to prepare for was the cold.

Although he had the Frost Bloodline and was immune to the cold to a certain extent, he was not completely immune to it.

The cold in Siberia had long exceeded the tolerance of ordinary people.

Although -60°C would not freeze him to death immediately, he could easily get frostbites.

For the entire day, Bell planned his survival route in Siberia.

If he wanted to survive, a plan was necessary.

If anything went wrong, he might encounter fatal danger.

This was definitely not a joke. He might really die.

In Siberia, the cold night was different from the Arctic Circle.

In the Arctic, Bell could choose to dig a snow cave to spend the night.

But in the Siberian icefield, just having a shelter was not enough for Bell to survive the cold night.

If he could not manage a fire, he would definitely freeze to death.

After having made the plan, Bell headed to the Russian embassy.

The border crossing of Russia was quite strict.

Bell waited for three days before his visa was approved.

While waiting, Bell did not waste time. He bought some necessary equipment, mainly clothes to prevent cold.

It was not an exaggeration to say that in the hinterland of Siberia, as long as you stood in the wild, you would be frostbitten if you did not move for a few minutes.

Bell entrusted Lin Xiaoxiao with his clothing which included thick gloves, cotton socks, snow boots, scarves, and thermal underwear.

These were genuine clothings. He had worked with Lin Xiaoxiao for a long time.

When she learned that Bell was going to Siberia, Lin Xiaoxiao was very excited and interested in participating.

But considering the dangers, she chose to give up.

The coldest time in Siberia was around January.

It was not too far away.

Therefore, Bell had to hurry and finish the program.

The show soon began.

The production team also knew the danger of this episode.

Fortunately, they did not give Bell any problems this time. Bell went alone to record.

He took the plane and rushed to Yakutsk.

Yakutsk was the coldest city in the world.

It was located in the far east of Siberia, less than 500 kilometers from the Arctic Circle.

Bell’s first task would be to get a helicopter to send him to the icy plain 300 kilometers away from the Arctic Circle.

He could move south when he got there.

The southern part of Siberia was adjacent to Mongolia, and the temperature was slightly higher.

Of course, this was not the only reason Bell chose this survival route. Another reason was that the Siberian Railway was there. If everything went smoothly, he could take the train and leave the icy plain.

As for the location, Bell had a good reason.

Why was it about 300 kilometers away? The main reason was that it was in a Siberian forest county.

Once he passed this area, it would be difficult to find wood again.

It would be extremely difficult to start a fire.

Walking out of the airport, the cold wind blew on Bell’s skin, making him shiver. f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

A thick layer of ice condensed on the ground.

Bell was not surprised. He had already known before coming that Yakutsk was built on a layer of frozen soil.

Therefore, no matter what building it was, it would be built on stilts, maintaining a height of a few feet from the ground.

Because if the house was built directly on the frozen soil, the high temperature in the house would cause the frozen soil to melt, causing the house to collapse.

Perhaps some people would not believe that there were no taxis at the airport in Yakutsk from November to January.

It was difficult to see cars not only in the airport, but in the entire city.

Because the extremely low temperature would cause the tires to rupture.

Coupled with the extremely slippery ice ground, almost no one would choose to drive in this season.

Fortunately, the temperature in Yakutsk was not too low during the day.

The temperature was about -35 °C.

If you listened carefully, you could even hear the sound of your breath turning into frost.

Even though he was wearing thick gloves, Bell still felt like his fingers were going numb from the cold.

The extreme low temperature forced people to move constantly.

Before the broadcast even began, Bell felt that his journey to survival had already started.

Carrying his bag, he began to rush towards the city center.

After running, Bell felt much better.

His blood flowed, and the heat spread to his body again.

His limbs warmed up again.

Along the way, Bell saw nothing but white. There were not many people on the streets.

Every winter, because of the influence of the Arctic Circle, the sunlight was extremely short.

If there was no need, the people here would not come out of their house the whole day.

The houses built here also had layers of thermal insulation measures.

When Bell arrived at the hotel, he walked into the hall and immediately felt a heat wave.

Feeling the temperature again, he couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

He wished he could stay here and not go out.

The building did not have collective heating, the heat was usually provided by the hotel.

A standard single room cost 85 dollars a day and an additional 15 dollars for heating.

In addition to the hotel, every house in the city had a fireplace.

The residents here burnt a lot of wood every winter.

Of course, some remote areas would also choose to use more traditional heating materials.

That was cow dung.

They smeared cow dung on the wall to resist the cold.

When the wood was burned out, they could be used to replace fuel.
