Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 383 Arrive at the base camp, above the snow line!

"When hiking in a group, especially when some members of the group are inexperienced in hiking, you have to have an experienced person lead the way at the front of the group and an experienced person at the end of the group To prevent falling behind, today I let Rob take the lead and I am last in the line."

Bi Fang pulled out his trekking poles from the soil debris and climbed a rock. From today onwards, they will start climbing, at least 600 meters.

"When we go uphill, we should take short strides, the center of gravity of the body should be forward, and the stride should be as consistent as walking on flat ground. When going downhill, the stride should be small, the center of gravity of the body should be backward, Keep the joints slightly bent to reduce the pressure on the knees from the weight of the backpack, and it will save effort to take the 'zigzag' route when going up and down steep slopes."

"If the soil on the uphill is relatively soft, such as sand, gravel or snow, then it is best to take a side step and stop in a side step state when staying, because the side step is more stable. It is not easy to slip, and you must pay attention to anti-slip, not to mention walking on loose rocks, it is easy to slide, in addition, a walking stick is also necessary to help you walk more stably."

The Sir in front listened carefully, and couldn't help admiring: "I have traveled so many ways, but I have never thought about the truth and simple rules. It seems that your adventure is not a personal heroism, but a kind of wisdom. reflect."

Bi Fang scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

[Serious teaching, laughing to death, it is useless at all]

【Otaku who has never been out of the city】

[I also want to travel and climb snow-capped mountains, but my wallet doesn't allow me]

[What is not allowed is lazy! Wouldn't it be nice to learn from Fangshen and find a tricycle for a ride to the virgin forest? 】

[It's an old fan at first glance]

At this moment, Rob's voice suddenly came from the front of the team: "We are going to cross the bridge, the main thing is to put away the trekking poles, and don't insert them into the gaps in the bridge."

Bi Fang put away his trekking sticks and looked ahead. It was still a narrow bridge. They had encountered it many times along the way. Going up makes people tremble, but after walking more times, I get used to it. From the trembling at the beginning to the familiar driving now, there is no difficulty.

After crossing the bridge, Bi Fang pulled out his trekking poles again, and continued: "In places with open terrain, we should advance in a single file, and keep the distance between each other within the reach of our hands. The advantage is that no one will be left behind in case of a snowstorm and a sharp drop in visibility."

"Huh, ha, no, I can't learn." Wang Yongbo in front of him suddenly gasped, holding his breath for a long time, holding the water bottle and swallowing a big mouthful, and then holding his chest to take a big breath.

"It's for your own good." Bi Fang raised his hand and looked at his digital watch, only twenty minutes had passed, "To put it bluntly, President Wang's physical fitness is the worst after here, and he might even go to camp C1 No, so you have to practice belly breathing now."

"Inhale to inflate the abdomen, exhale to deflate the abdomen", as if smelling the fragrance of flowers, "inhale" the breath into the dantian, breathe at a normal frequency for half a minute, and the blood oxygen saturation will increase significantly. The effect is immediate and has been tried repeatedly.

This was taught to everyone when they set off this morning, especially Wang Yongbo.

According to Bi Fang's method, as long as you do it patiently, do it correctly, and continue to do it, the blood oxygen saturation will generally not be lower than 95%, and it will be greatly relieved or not hypoxic in a few minutes.

But once abdominal breathing stops, the blood oxygen saturation will drop again within half a minute, so to maintain no hypoxia, you need to get used to it.

Ordinary people generally need more than a month of practice to master it, and there will be a period of rebellion in the middle, and they must rely on a strong will to overcome irritability. Once the habit is formed and becomes subconscious, everything will be easy to handle.

"I have emphasized many times that breathing is very important. If the human body is an engine, then oxygen is the fuel. The way you breathe represents the combustion efficiency. Abdominal breathing and deep breathing are the difference between quality and quantity. .We have to improve the quality as much as possible to adapt to the hypoxic environment.”

Wang Yongbo sighed: "That's what I said, but I'm really tired. I forget it as soon as I relax, I forget it when I walk, I forget it even when I jump over a stone, I can't remember it at all."

"Don't worry, I will keep watching, and I will remind you when I find that your breathing has changed, and now is the best time. After four kilometers, I can't practice even if I want to."

"All right, all right." Wang Yongbo waved his hand and changed his breathing method again.

Everyone crossed a river again, and there was a noise of people flowing in front of them.

Several donkey carts were driven by their masters, Bi Fang and the others all stood aside and waited quietly for the donkey carts to pass by. His lord even took off his hat to salute.

"When you go hiking in the countryside, you should pay attention to protecting the natural environment in the wild, and respect other people you meet on the way. When you encounter other walkers, cyclists or horseback riders, you should take the initiative to give way, and all garbage Take it with you, and don’t trample or disturb it when passing by crop fields or livestock. If there is a dog with you, tie it up with a leash and lead it away to avoid the above situation. Finally, pay attention to the vehicle and be sure to walk on the outside. for a timely response."

After passing the donkey cart, everyone started on the road again. The fields and paths intersected. It was clearly a plateau, but it was a prosperous plain.

Almost every piece of flat and open land has been reclaimed, planted with various crops, strings of prayer flags are hung all over the hillside, and Buddhist shrines and walls engraved with Buddhist scriptures stand on the peaks.

All are trekkers.

The locals plant crops on the ridges of the fields, and the travelers rush to the snow-capped mountains in their hearts.

Live in the here and now.

"Take a break."

After turning over a mountain again, Rob directed everyone to make a brief repair. Everyone came to a tea house to rest and ordered a pot of local Masala tea.

"Every time I see the local people living in harmony with nature, I feel that this is the most beautiful moment in life. As I said before, there are about 4 million different species of animals and plants in the world. There are 4 million different species of animals and plants living in the world. Tens of thousands of different answers. Now, seven billion human beings have seven billion different answers to how to live."

His Excellency inserted his trekking poles into the soil and looked at the Sherpas in the fields, feeling quite emotional.

Bi Fang raised his head, squinted his eyes, and asked cooperatively, "What about the Sir's answer?"

"Me?" Attenborough was taken aback, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "For me, the natural world is the greatest pleasure, the greatest visual enjoyment and the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the source of so many meanings in my life. What about you? What is the reason for your constant adventures? You always set yourself one goal after another, I don’t think you can easily achieve it, right? That kind of goal is meaningless, but since it is difficult , then there will definitely be a day of failure, and at that time, will you be disappointed?"

[Ah, the reason, it originated from an annual meeting in high school (funny)]

[Fang Shen is impossible to fail! 】

[I feel that this time is really difficult. I climbed to the top without oxygen, and I have never seen Lao Fang climb the mountain before]

[This thing needs to be trained all the time, right? Fang Shen has been live broadcasting all the time, and after the break, how can he have time to train and climb mountains? 】

【Bold prophecy, the beginning of Waterloo! 】

Bi Fang loosened the strap of his backpack, and said with a change of breath, "I'm actually very inclined to Adler's philosophy. Have you ever heard of a saying called 'live in the moment'?"

"Now?"

"Yes, Adler's philosophy agrees with this point of view. Some people's roadmap for pursuing happiness is to make progress first, thinking that they can only achieve happiness when they make progress. But some people's roadmap is to be free first."

Bi Fang took a sip of masala tea to refresh his mouth, and was about to continue, but unexpectedly Saito Zhixin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interjected: "Is there any problem with the road map for progress?"

Bi Fang looked at Saito in surprise, but shook his head: "There is nothing wrong in essence. No one has the right to oppose other people's way of pursuing happiness, but happiness is subjective after all. I don't know the road map for progress." I don’t agree, because you are always on the road, just like climbing a mountain. Mr. Saito challenged Mount Everest four times, but he didn’t succeed. He even wanted to see the summit as a birthday present. That’s because you thought that only the top of the mountain is happy. ? The process of climbing a mountain is the price of happiness?"

Saito was silent suddenly, he was noncommittal.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Bi Fang drank his tea and quickly asked: "But what if you can't climb it? What if you find a higher mountain after climbing it? I don’t think it’s happiness or freedom to be dragged along.”

"Adlerian philosophy believes that life is not a line leading to a certain destination—life is a continuation of countless 'points'. Every moment, every moment should be cherished, experienced, and enjoyed. This is Just like traveling, you don’t have to arrive at a certain destination to be considered a tourist—it starts from the moment you step out of the house, and every bit of the road is worth appreciating.

You want to be a piano master, you can. But happiness does not come from becoming a piano master. Adler does not prevent you from working hard for your goals, but he allows you to enjoy every moment of practicing the piano.

In other words, Adler wants you to live seriously. Seriousness does not mean profoundness, and life does not need to be profound—seriousness is enough. If you can't live seriously, are always on the road, and never like your current self, then you really may not be happy for the rest of your life.

Seriousness is the most basic attitude—the attitude towards oneself. I never regard various goals as a burden, but a benchmark on my way to pursue freedom and happiness. It represents that I have been here and appreciated it, not the turning point of suffering turning into happiness. It is not The burden is my motivation. Even if the challenge fails, I will not be too sad. Of course, the completion of the goal will be a peak of happiness. This is the meaning of my pursuit. "

Yao Jun slapped Bi Fang on the shoulder and gasped, "Hiss, that sounds awesome."

"read more books."

Yao Jun: "."

Withers on the side sniffled: "But if you don't reach the summit, no one will remember you at all."

Bi Fang was very calm: "I've said it before, happiness is very subjective. If you regard fame and fame as your pursuit, that's your business."

【Master, I understand】

[I'm going to write novels now, even if I run out of food again and again, I will stick to it, woo woo woo. 】

After drinking the tea, everyone went on the road again. Perhaps because they were touched by Bi Fang's words, the team moved much faster throughout the afternoon and successfully reached Nanqi before evening.

Another night's rest.

Day 3: Nanqi 3440m-Tangboqi 3860m

Departing at 7:15, we saw Mount Everest for the first time. Mount Everest was covered by clouds, and Lhotse Peak was on the right. The weather was good all the way, and Mount Everest accompanied us all the way.

Tang Boqi is the local religious center, and this temple is the place where we got Hada for the first time.

Rob took us to a nearby temple, and hoped that the lama of the temple would pray for our journey. When we got the khata from the lama, the team leader also reminded us not to forget to give back some sesame oil money. I paid 5 ugly gold.

The mountain house did not provide hot water or free charging that night. It costs 300 rupees for a full charge. Whether it is a mobile power supply or a mobile phone, there is no toilet in the room, and there are public toilets for sharing. Tonight, I took the time to shave.

Day 4: Tangboqi 3860M-Dingboqi 4410M

Here you can clearly see the famous mountain Ama Dablam. In this high-altitude area, as soon as the sun goes down, the temperature drops faster than diving, and the temperature is very cold in the morning and evening.

Since most of the team members have never reached such a height, I plan to let them adapt to the height tomorrow. I will stay in Dingboqi for 2 nights to improve everyone's adaptability. Yao Jun hasn't been able to sleep well in recent nights, and he always wakes up 3 or 4 times every night.

Rob is very qualified as a guide, but his basic skills need to be polished, and he doesn't seem to be able to observe everyone's physical condition very well. I need to pay more attention.

The mountain house does not provide free charging, and there is no toilet in the room, and there are public toilets for sharing; since the mountain house is made of wood, but it has reached this height, it is very good to have these.

Day 5: Dingboqi 4410M-Nakashan 5616M-Dingboqi 4410M

Today is a high-acclimatization day. You need to climb to a higher altitude during the day, and then return to a lower altitude to rest at night, which helps to accelerate your adaptation to the low-oxygen environment.

Trying to climb Nakashan to have a bird's-eye view of Dingboqi, the suburban mountains are more than 5000M.

However, because of the weather, the clouds became thicker as we climbed, and there was almost no vision. In the end, we only climbed to about 4820M and turned back. It felt that there was no difficulty, and it was a bit simple, but the real difficulty was still to come.

No matter how good the photos are, you can’t capture the spaciousness of the scene, and you can’t be moved without being there.

From the 4,000-meter mark, some people began to experience physical problems, such as insufficient blood oxygen, flatulence, loss of appetite, and a small number of people began to runny nose, but fortunately, there was no other particularly uncomfortable place.

I have no discomfort, and all physical indicators are normal.

Even feel a little fresh air.

But there is good news, and there is also bad news. The good news is that Wang Yongbo’s feeling of being caught in his heart has completely disappeared today (blood oxygen is still dropping, maybe C1 is his end point), and one factor that may cause altitude sickness has been ruled out, and Ferguson's physical response was better than I expected, very powerful.

The bad news is Gehrman Daub Behrman. Well, to be honest, I admit I don't quite remember the man's name, and his only hiking boot came apart.

It may be that it was too steep to climb Nakashan down the mountain today, and only found it when I came back. Facing the journey of nearly 10 days, I planted a hidden worry.

But the spare boots we prepared didn't fit his size. This guy's feet are at least one size bigger than all of us. Asians have only 2 fifth phalanges on their feet, but Europeans have a fifth phalanx on their feet. In 3 knots, two bones are missing in both feet. Is it true that the feet of European ugly people are generally bigger?

Fortunately, we will part ways when we reach base camp.

Rob helped him put on the big stickers and tie him up, hoping he was ok.

This incident shows that the quality of shoes is really important. It is normal for a pair of good hiking shoes to cost tens of thousands of dollars. Climbing Mount Everest is really a game for the rich.

Fortunately I am rich.

Day 6: Dingboqi 4410M-Robuqi 4910M

In the remains of stone huts surrounded by mountains, if you don’t look at the five-color flags, it’s a bit Nordic.

Sleeping in the mountaineering hero monument area at the foot of Mount Everest, there are inscriptions piled up with stones everywhere.

It was only 1 degree outside at 4:00 p.m., and I started to sleep in a down vest tonight. I will go to EBC tomorrow, and the progress is a little slow. The time left for me to practice may be less than 20 days.

Day 7: Robusaki 4910M-Gaole Snow 5140M-Everest Base Camp 5364M

On April 28, we arrived at Base Camp.

"Snapped!"

Bi Fang put the cap on the pen and stuffed the notes into the inner liner.

Looking at the mountain peaks in the distance, Bi Fang took a deep breath, the cold air rushing into his lungs, and he stepped on the snow line, leaving a deep footprint.

altitude,

5364 meters!

Serious person who keeps a diary? So here are the notes.

Sacrifice the new book, and my order will explode!
