Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness?-Chapter 289

289 The Importance of Shelter

Feeling the temperature from the fire, Bell heaved a sigh of relief.

“The feeling of warmth is really good.”

As the temperature rose, Bell’s hands gradually regained feeling.

While his hands regained feeling, Bell decided to finish the rest of his work as soon as possible.

After all, it was already getting dark.

While his fingers were still agile, Bell cut the holes in the ice wall.

He only needed to insert the wooden stick into the hole and the wooden bed would be completed in a moment.

Moreover, when he was digging the hole, Bell deliberately left some gaps so that he could move the fire below to keep warm when he slept.

The fire moved to the bottom of the wooden bed. The rising hot air could make it warmer.

Lying on the wooden bed and looking at the setting sun, Bell straightened his expression.

“We have to build a roof above to increase the concealment of the shelter.

I don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night and sleep with wild beasts. ”

Bell stood up again and began to work.

Fortunately, compared to making a wooden bed, making a roof was much simpler.

He only needed to find some branches and lay them on the ditch.

He even laid some pine needles to preserve the warmth.

Bell moved the fire to the shelter.

Then, he gathered more firewood.

His preparations for the night were almost completed.

“Now, we can use the parachute to cover the exit. This way, our shelter will be tighter, and the temperature produced by the fire will be more concentrated. Perhaps we can really have a good sleep tonight.”

Bell opened his backpack.

In fact, be it the rapid-landing parachute or the normal parachute, the material was the same.

It was both windproof and waterproof.

The surface of the parachute was very smooth and could reflect heat to a certain extent.

Therefore, it could preserve heat from dissipating.

Bell took out the parachute and covered the exit with it. Bell pressed the wooden stick firmly against the gap. After a few minutes, Bell could clearly feel that the temperature in the shelter had increased.

Sitting beside the fire, Bell could finally take out his scarf and warm himself.

After taking off his shoes, his feet were completely numb from the cold. 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

Bell moved his feet to the fire.

“I really hate this feeling of cold, especially when it is so cold to the point that my limbs are numb.

Losing feeling in my hands and feet makes me feel insecure. ”

Time passed slowly. Just as Bell had said, the sky turned completely dark.

The night in Siberia was not as dark as the rainforest.

The starlight here reflected on the snow, allowing people to barely see something.

With nothing to do, Bell added more wood to the fire.

“We have to stay in this shelter for 18 hours tonight.

The temperature outside should have already reached -55 °C.

Moreover, as time passes, the temperature will continue to decrease.”

It was about three in the afternoon in China.

Some of the audience watching Bell’s video were enjoying the afternoon sun.

Unfortunately, Bell could only feel the cold wind on the cold winter night.

This made Bell feel helpless.

Fortunately, he had such a shelter.

Otherwise, even with the fire, it would be difficult for him to survive the night.

On such a cold night, even the wolves would not come out to hunt.

Although they had lived in this environment for more than a thousand years, there was still a possibility of freezing to death.

This was also why this place was called a forbidden zone. 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

In this temperature, all life was the same.

But there were pros and cons.

In this long and cold night, it was not all bad for Bell.

Although it was very difficult to find food in this environment, because of the fire, he would consume much less calories.

This also made him feel less hungry.

In fact, it had only been six hours since Bell woke up in the Yakutsk Hotel.

He was not sleepy at all.

He sat beside the fire and put wood in it from time to time while chatting with the audience in the live-stream.

“In a cold place like Siberia, a fire and shelter are necessary to pass the night.

I have a real story that I can share with everyone.”

“A few years ago, a zoologist came to this Siberian plain alone.

It was to record the natural survival state of the Siberian tigers in Siberia during winter.

He followed the tracks of a Siberian tiger. When he arrived at a lake, the ice cracked and he fell in. Although he was lucky to climb ashore, all his resources sank to the bottom of the lake.

However, this zoologist was still very smart. He used an ice piece to create a magnifying glass to start a fire. With the help of the fire, he survived in this cold icy plain for three days.

By the time the rescue team discovered him, the skin and muscle tissue on this zoologist’s back had already been deeply frostbitten, reaching a necrotic state. ”

Bell tapped his back again.

“Although the fire can provide you with a certain temperature, it can only maintain the core temperature on your front.

The cold wind in the middle of the night is enough to kill.

Although I’m in the shelter, I can still feel a chill down my spine. ”

At this moment, Bell suddenly smiled and brought the sharp wooden stick in his hand to the camera.

“These are the two walking sticks I just made.

With them, it will be much easier for us to walk.

Perhaps we can use them as an ice ax if the need be. ”

After chatting with the audience in the live-stream for a while, Bell placed the fire under the wooden bed.

Because his wooden bed was only half a meter above the ground, he had to make sure the fire was as low as possible.

Otherwise, it would not be fun if his wooden makeshift-bed was burned by the fire in the middle of the night.

Bell lay on the wooden bed and felt the heat from his backpack. It was quite comfortable.

It was already very rare to have such treatment in the wilderness of Siberia.

As for hunger, it was a small matter.

It was already extremely lucky to be alive here.

But soon, Bell discovered a new problem.
