Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 230 Stormy Sea

The sun shines on the sea, warming up the cold weather.

Except that there was a strong wind on the first day and it seemed like it would not rain, the weather was fine for the next two days, and there was no sign of rain at all.

Bi Fang was lying on the life raft, drifting with the swaying waves, his eyes flicked the fishing line from time to time to see if any prey had been hooked.

After three days of adaptation, he has gotten used to this kind of wandering, and he no longer feels dizzy, and even this ups and downs have a feeling of "flying away", which is quite good.

Bi Fang casually pulled out a piece of sargassum and put it in his mouth, put his hands behind his head, basking in the sun leisurely, not in a hurry, or in a word, it was useless.

Fishing, in addition to skill, is more about luck, not to mention that he uses grass bait instead of meat bait.

But his appearance, basking in the sun and floating in the ocean, not only does not look like a victim, but it seems to be out for a trip, if one ignores his slightly pale face.

Food is available, but fresh water resources are still scarce. A small amount of evaporation per day can only guarantee the minimum needs, not health needs. It is not a problem to last for another four or five days, but it will not be the case after a long time.

He was waiting for a rain, a life-saving rain.

It sounds like all the hope of survival is placed on God, but the real survival is like this, any situation is uncertain, what can be determined is only probability, some people can become survival experts because they know what to do The probability of being able to harvest is the highest.

It’s as if Bi Fang knows that the North Atlantic Ocean is affected by extratropical cyclones, and the weather is unpredictable. It will blow wind and rain every three days, and the probability of drinking rainwater is very high, so he is willing to wait, otherwise he would have zipped up and kept going. The distilled water was extracted instead of opening the tent and basking in the sun to reduce heat loss.

This is a trade-off, a trade-off that is in line with the current interests.

True survival masters know where every part of their energy should be used, so their probability of survival is far higher than others.

Without water, you cannot conjure water out of thin air. Without food, you cannot conjure food out of thin air. After all, Fang is a human being, not a god. Everyone calls him Fang Shen, but he still cannot conjure bread and water out of thin air.

Being able to survive depends on more "probability". The simplest mathematical logic is the key to survival.

Many people, including Bi Fang himself, have been pushed to the limit of pain by struggling with harsh circumstances and situations.

In such situations, life itself can be felt as a threat.

The feeling of fear can be fleeting, or it can plague you for hours or days, until suddenly it becomes clear when you realize you need to face it.

It is at this moment that a person really has the belief to live, and wants to find a way out and return to his own life.

The above are not only Bi Fang's real thoughts, but also his real practice. He is not stingy in sharing his experience with everyone.

"There have been many times when I've been part of a team that stood out from the rest, where there was grit, smart minds, decisive decisions, humility, and essential friendships."

"It is these valuable things learned from those outstanding people in difficult times that accompany me in life, not only in the past when facing danger and life-threatening moments, but also in the present."

"I don't consider myself an expert professional adventurer, but in many enjoyable, brutal, exhilarating, terrifying or bleak experiences I have developed knowledge, clear thinking and respect for all extreme and challenging The value of the environment, I should show them."

"It's about being attuned to your natural environment and trying to understand it, which will make you more attuned to your surroundings and therefore give you hope."

Bi Fang kept the audience from getting bored through chatting. After so many live broadcasts, he felt that he had developed a good eloquence, even stand-up comedy was enough.

At the same time, he is also telling everyone that even though he is basking in the sun and drifting, he is by no means a salted fish, but a reasonable plan.

He really didn't have a vacation.

[Understood, Lao Fang is an algebraist! 】

【I believe it】

[Can you put your hand down before saying this? It's hard to be convincing when you say this while basking in the sun with your head on your pillow! 】

【Really? I don't believe it (funny)]

Bi Fang smiled, put his hands down, and sat on the edge of the raft to see if any fish had been hooked, but it turned out that the sargassum was dangling on the water, but no fish had been hooked.

He sighed, it has been two days, why is there not a single fish?

Even if it's winter, it shouldn't be like this. What's more, it's not empty bait, it's grass bait, why don't you give me some face?

Now many people regard Bi Fang as the number one adventurer in the world, and people will laugh at him if he mentions it.

Is it environmental degradation or overfishing?

Even fishing is so difficult?

Bi Fang scratched his head, not knowing why, in order to pass the time, he could only continue chatting with the audience, talking about some survival experiences.

"Although we are far away from the shore, it cannot be said that there will be no seabirds. There are often strong winds in the North Atlantic Ocean. Maybe some birds will get lost in the wrong direction. By then, they will be hungry and tired. Seeing my broken Maybe the raft wants to come up to rest, so we can put some seaweed on top of the tent to make it more attractive."

Bi Fang separated a handful of sargassum from a large clump, placed it on the top of the tent, and spread it out to make it more conspicuous.

【666, Fang Shen doesn't even let the birds go now】

[It is said that I have eaten so many people who run on the ground and swim in the water. It seems that I have never eaten so many people who fly in the sky? 】

[It's a pity for the geese and birds last time, one by one, each of them has big feathers, and looks fat, it's a pity]

[Etienne: Are you polite? Thinking about my geese and birds every day? 】

[Do seabirds eat seaweed? Aren't they all fishing? 】

"Eat, of course, many seabirds will eat seaweed, and according to scientific research, the smell of plankton decomposed on the surface of plastic waste is similar to that of rotting seaweed, so seabirds such as albatrosses will mistake them for It is food to be swallowed."

"It is reported that about 90% of seabirds have eaten plastic waste, basically because they eat plastic as seaweed."

Spread the sargassum on the top of the tent, and Bi Fang continued to sit down, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

But the audience who heard the news couldn't sit still, 90%?

What the hell is this ratio?

[Fuck, there is such a saying? 】

[90? Are there so many? 】

Bi Fang nodded: "Yes, why would I lie to you about this kind of thing? You can find out if you check it online."

Many viewers switched platforms after hearing this, and found out that it was true after a search, even more than 90%!

【I'm rubbing it, it's actually true】

[Has the environment deteriorated to this point? It's time for my vaccine man to make an appearance! 】

[It's so pitiful, if you eat plastic, isn't it a dead end? 】

【I will never litter anymore...】

[Fangshen Survival in the Wilderness tries to reduce environmental damage as much as possible, and tries to find broken ones when looking for tree sticks. Hey, the gap between people is so big? 】

Many viewers also thought of what Bi Fang did. Even if it was burning firewood, except for a few emergencies, he would try his best to choose dead branches and leaves, and restore the environment as much as possible after finishing it. Comparing the trash throwers, the superior and the inferior will be judged, and it will not work without respect.

People risk their lives to survive, even if they don’t dare to leave traces in nature, they have to clean up after it’s over, leaving a pristine ecological environment, you are a tourist, and you still want to leave garbage after enjoying the natural scenery?

What are you doing?

[Don't scold, don't scold, don't dare next time]

[Cowhide, Fang Shen also pays attention to people]

[If you don't agree with anyone, just obey Lao Fang! 】

The audience praised again, and Bi Fang felt embarrassed, and after chatting a few more words, he calmed down and went fishing, but before noon, he realized that something was wrong.

It was getting dark.

no?

Another storm?

Dark clouds pushed over from the southeast, and the air became heavy and stuffy. The originally calm sea gradually stirred up waves, as if it would turn into big waves at any moment.

The audience watching this scene was shocked.

The scene of Bi Fang flying a glider across the storm last time is still vivid in their minds. The lightning strikes down and runs through the sky and the earth, growing wildly like branches. It's like hell. Now it's happening again?

Wait, it looks like Bi Fang has been waiting for the rain for a long time, right?

"I was thinking about when it would rain in the morning, but now it's here?"

Bi Fang was amazed at his timing. That’s right, it is timing. He never thought that he would not encounter a storm in his twenty-one days of survival. Since the storm will definitely appear, it is useless to worry about it. It is better to think about it. The benefits of fresh water resources.

So Bi Fang thought it was a lucky moment for him.

But now it is not the reason to worry about good luck or bad luck. He has to be fully prepared to face the storm, he explained as he lowered the tent.

"Don't worry everyone, I've actually been mentally prepared for it, because rain is usually the process of meeting cold and warm air, water vapor cools and turns into water and then falls. There is no shelter on the sea, so the effect of air encounter will be more obvious when it rains. It’s just bringing the wind and the waves.”

"If it is a large hailstone, the water vapor will suddenly condense into ice and fall down when it encounters a strong cold air flow, or strong convective high pressure."

"As I said before, the weather in the North Atlantic is unpredictable. I have already thought that there will be a storm, so don't be too anxious. But the program crew, if you are at sea, you should leave as soon as possible and don't stay. After all, the helicopter is parked on the sea. It's still very dangerous, and it will be bad to drift like me."

Yesterday and today, we have been exposed to the sun for two consecutive days, and the seawater has evaporated so much that it is not uncommon for it to rain suddenly.

Bi Fang took his time, and even took the time to remind the director, assistants and others of the program group not to cause anything to happen because of the filming.

Of course, he didn't need to remind him about this kind of thing. The program team knew about it. After all, Pang Di, the security consultant, was not a decoration. They would check the weather forecast every day. If there was a change in the weather, they would evacuate first.

But Bi Fang is more dangerous, although he doesn't care.

The audience was dumbfounded by Bi Fang's operation. Don't worry about yourself, do you care about the program group?

Is this what the boss does?

"Also, if we have a sea anchor, lowering that will keep the boat close to where the accident happened and help you keep the boat in the wind and waves at sea. By adjusting the sea anchor, we can make the life raft sit on the crest of the wave and let the sea The anchor is in the trough so we can avoid the big waves that way, but I don't."

A sea anchor is a large sinkable object with 3 to 4 hooks on it. Each hook is tied with a rope, about 1 meter in length. The ropes are gathered together and then connected to the ship of the victim. Submerging it in the water will create some resistance and provide some stability, which can help the boat resist wind and waves.

The wind gradually picked up, and Bi Fang unconsciously increased the volume while speaking, and he could clearly feel that the life raft was moving faster, no, it couldn't be said faster, it was like lightning!

In order to avoid the life raft being blown over by the wind, Bi Fang had to lower his center of gravity.

The sea anchor can help the victims stay in the vicinity of the trapped point, so that the search and rescue personnel can easily find it, but Bi Fang did not, so he never mentioned this.

"Currents can have some noticeable effects on the performance of the anchor and the boat, so be wary of changes that may occur at any time. If possible, you can make one yourself. The length of the anchor rope is more than 5 meters. When you are caught It can be in the trough of the wave when the big wave hits!"

Bi Fang pulled the top of the tent to the lowest position to lower the center of gravity. He needed to keep the canopy upright and the life raft dry.

"If it is a life raft that can accommodate 20 people, the heaviest person should sit in the middle, and everyone else must also sit well, so that the wind force that blows up the life raft can be suppressed by the weight distribution of the body. "

"Don't sit on the edge of the life raft or stand on it, it's easy to fall into the water. And don't make sudden movements without first notifying other people in the raft. Once you fall into the water, you will be caught. Separate quickly, wait for the storm to stop, and the chances of finding it are very small, and the same is true for me, once I fell into the water, it almost sentenced me to death!"

"So we have to take various measures to prevent the life raft from capsizing."

Bi Fang stretched out his hands to pull the sea water, trying to face the wind, so that he could see how the waves were coming, and cross over the waves.

Large waves, especially huge waves hitting the port or starboard side, may capsize ships, especially life rafts.

But Bi Fang's life raft is a round life raft, and this structure can resist huge waves in all directions. The disadvantage is that it rarely provides paddles or other things for manipulation.

The world looked leaden, Bi Fang's roar was drowned in the wind, he could not speak much, and he poured in a lot of air as soon as he opened his mouth, as if it could go straight to his stomach.

Water drops hit Bi Fang's hand suddenly, and the rain finally started.

He raised his head, and on the opposite side of the leaden gray world, huge water pressure came down from above, hitting the life raft fiercely!
