Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? Chapter 207 - Old Routine

Chapter 207: Old Routine

As soon as he entered the water, Bell felt the river water penetrate his skin and chill his bones.
The pores on his body suddenly closed.
Although his condition was not good, Bell did not dare to delay.
At this moment, he used 120% of his strength and even activated his Wilderness Hunter skill to swim desperately towards the river bank.
Although he had given up on the resources he had, this was indeed the best decision.!!
The bear meat they had captured weighed more than 60 kilograms. With such heavy food, it was impossible to escape the pull of the vortex.
Bell could only throw away any excess burden.
Bell decided very fast. While the raft was still outside the vortex, the pull was not particularly strong.
Once they reached the middle of the vortex, it would be too late to make the same decision.
200 meters was not a long distance.
When people moved, their blood would constantly circulate, so it was not a big problem to swim in water at zero degrees. Many people who liked to swim in the winter had already adapted to this temperature.
Sometimes, winter swimming was also good for the body. It could increase the resistance of the human body.
But swimming in this kind of river in the winter without proper preparations was a very dangerous thing.
Especially when they stopped moving for a few minutes after going ashore, the human blood would quickly flow from the limbs to other parts of the body.
In addition, there were no dry clothes to keep them warm, so they would be even colder when they came out.
Fortunately, Bell and the other two had accumulated enough experience.
There was no need for Bell to say anything. Ped and the man began to move non-stop.
Bell took out his tools and quickly started a fire before taking off his clothes.
It had to be said that the bowstring that Bell had made to start a fire was indeed useful.
With the help of this bowstring, Bell could start a fire many times faster. He could start a fire in a minute.
The three of them sat around the fire. Bell was relieved and looked back at the river.
The small raft that he had made spun faster and faster on the water.
In less than a minute, it was pulled to the center of the undercurrent.
Then, as expected, it sank into the river.
The corner of Bell’s eye twitched.
This did not make sense.
The live-stream was filled with teasing comments.
“Hahaha, I knew it. He had not reached ashore. Don’t reach a conclusion so soon.”
“Bell, you should give up. Humans have to believe in fate.”
“Let’s give up on making rafts in the future. It’s really useless. Its only use might be to increase the difficulty of survival.”
“Haha, what kind of strange character setting is this? If he is on the raft, it will definitely sink?”
Looking at the strange comments in the live-stream, Bell was speechless.
What else could he say?
The raft, which he had spent an hour making, sank.
It could only be said that it was too strange.
Sitting beside the fire, Bell sighed.
“Remember what I just said? Don’t let down your guard no matter what. Nature can give you a fatal blow at any time.”
He looked at the sun in the sky.
According to Bell’s deduction, there were still about two hours before nightfall.
He pointed at the clothes of the three of them.
Although the temperature was much higher than before, it was still ten degrees below zero.
If he dared to wear these wet clothes, he would definitely suffer from a severe cold. They would not be able to keep him warm at all.
He made a simple clothes rack, placing the clothes on it.
He began to search for a suitable place to build a tent.
When he felt cold, he returned to the fire to warm himself.
After a few rounds, Bell arrived under a pine tree.
There was a palm-sized mark on the pine tree.
The mark was so deep that the tree trunk inside the pine bark could be seen.
Bell observed carefully and said.
“Look here, this should be the mark left by a brown bear when it was sharpening its claws.
Do you see this? Just grinding its claws can cause such terrifying damage. What would the effect be if it struck a person with its full strength?
You can imagine the outcome.
In order to ensure our safety, we have to stay away from the ground if we want to rest tonight.”
Bell stepped on the fallen leaves and looked around.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
Not far ahead, there were three thick pine trees.
The three trees were less than two meters apart, forming a triangle.
Bell quickly walked closer and adjusted the camera.
“This place looks good. We can use these three pine trees to build a hanging shelter.”
“Ordinary black bears and brown bears are only about three meters tall. As long as we can exceed this height and build the shelter at a height of four meters, we can ensure our safety.”
With that, Bell hit the three pine trees to check its stability.
The three trees did not move.
“Not bad, they are very strong.
With these three pine trees, we can easily build a shelter. But before that, we need to build a ladder.
Fortunately, there is no lack of wood in the forest. ”
It took some time for Bell and the other two to gather the wood.
Because of the repeated usage, the three of them did not have enough parachute ropes. After thinking for a long time, Bell felt that he had to leave these strong ropes for when building the shelter, so he chose some vines to make the ladder.
They did not need to consider how strong this ladder was. After all, it was just a disposable item.
Reserve Food had been released for a long time.
It had been staying beside the fire for a long while, but Bell did not return. It seemed to be worried that it would be abandoned and chased after Bell’s scent.
Arctic foxes had a very sensitive sense of smell. After all, they were canines.
Moreover, being able to find food under the thick snow naturally did not rely on eyesight.
Soon, the little fox found Bell. Seeing Bell’s busy figure, the little guy quickly followed.
It kept circling around Bell. Instead of being any help, it added more trouble.
There were several times when Bell wanted to gather things, this guy was always swaying to the side, making him almost cut his hand.
