Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 587

The situation in Taiji Town is a bit too complicated. Bi Fang has already ignored the specific situation of Bosen. Compared with the end, most of the Dolphin Bay documentary has been completed.

At this time, Bi Fang wanted to accomplish another task assigned by the system—to capture an adult black bear alive.

How to capture an adult black bear alive?

Ninety-nine percent of the people in the world are obviously helpless in the face of this problem, but there are still one percent of people who may have a solution.

Bi Fang stepped on the root of the tree, pulled the bark in his hand, and stretched it straight.

"In the process of wilderness survival, the role of rope is obvious. It can be used to make escape tools, hammocks, self-defense weapons, bamboo rafts, hunting, etc. It can be said that survival in the wild is inseparable from rope."

"If you're out in the wilderness and don't have a rope ready to hand, you should learn how to make one from a suitable plant."

"Some barks with high-quality fibers are the best choice for making ropes. Especially willow bark contains very high-quality fibers, and we generally use the bark of young young willow trees as materials."

"Dead willow inner bark and branch inner bark are also good choices, but if the willow has been dead for a long time, most of the bark may have rotted, so you should test the strength of its fibers before using it."

Straightening the bark in his hand, Bi Fang pulled it with all his strength, and the bark performed very well, showing no sign of breaking.

"In addition to the strength, there is also whether the fiber is rough. We can tie two long fibers together with an overhand knot. When pulling hard to both sides, the force should be appropriate. If the fiber breaks suddenly, it means that the fiber is too brittle and easy to break; if the two If the root fibers separate, the fiber itself is too slippery. Fibers that fit will twist together."

Pulled again and it was as expected.

"It looks pretty good." Bi Fang unloaded his strength and panted slightly, "If it is a living tree, the bark must not be circumcised, as it will cause the tree to die without being able to deliver nutrients. However, dead trees are not That's the problem."

Bi Fang climbed up the tree, broke off a few branches, and showed the audience to the camera. He found that the buds of the tree had shrunk and shriveled. Bi Fang scratched the bark, and there was no green or water in the bark.

"The tree buds are shriveled and shriveled, and the bark is not green. It can be concluded with 80% certainty that it is dead. Then look at its roots." Bi Fang took out a harpoon from his waist, inserted it into the soil, shook it from side to side, and dug out. A thick piece of soil, showing the roots of the willow tree.

Still dry and without moisture.

"The same is true for the roots, which are basically 100% dead."

"The death of willow trees is relatively rare. Although it seems to be a standard match with Jiangnan water towns, willow trees can even grow on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and their vitality is very tenacious."

"This is because willow bark juice contains salicylic acid, which is the main raw material of aspirin, and is also a stimulating chemical weapon of willow, which can rely on it to rob itself of the water and fertility it needs. Therefore, under the same conditions, the willow will be more vigorous than other plants."

[It seems that lightning strike wood is generally willow? 】

[Why did Lao Fang make so many ropes? Invented a new routine again? 】

These days, Bi Fang hunts bears in various ways, from head-to-head one-on-one, to poison, and then to traps, almost every time the method is different, which is eye-opening.

Seeing that Bi Fang made so many ropes this time, many viewers are looking forward to what method he will use to hunt bears next.

Bi Fang smiled, but did not speak.

In a kind of hunt, Bi Fang, who tried to capture the black bear alive, was a bit too prominent.

The mission stipulates that an adult black bear should be found, but the gender is not specified. In Bi Fang's idea, it is best to find a female bear that is relatively small in size, with a body length between 1.1 and 1.2 meters.

A black bear of this length is even half a head shorter than Bi Fang when standing up. For him, the danger has been minimized.

Afterwards, make some traps with ropes to further restrict movement, and there should be no problem, as long as one of the limbs can be hooped.

After confirming that the willow tree in front of him was a bit dead, Bi Fang would be merciless when he started. He climbed up the willow tree, inserted a knife into the bark, scraped off one head, and then went down one, and the whole bark was peeled off vertically .

"In addition to willow bark, nettles, bamboo, palms, spruce roots, and rushes are all good materials for making rope."

"Look for some long-growing nettles with long stems, soak them in water for a while, spread them on a smooth stone slab, and hit them with a stone with a smooth surface. The outer surface is torn, and the fibrous interior will be revealed. It is then carefully combed to remove the flesh and hung to dry before being used for rope.”

"The roots that grow in the ground, or even on the surface, are usually soft and strong. The roots of spruce are quite strong. North American Indians often sew birch bark together with rope made from spruce roots to make canoes .”

"Today I'm going to demonstrate wrap-around rope making."

Bi Fang took out a large amount of bark and rubbed it away with a stone, turning it into thin fiber bundles.

After that put some plant fibers together and rotate in a clockwise direction.

"It doesn't matter what direction you spin, the main thing is to keep the direction of rotation consistent and when you need to add fibers, make the ends stagger."

Bi Fang, who had already made three fibers, held them together and continued to spin each fiber until it was sufficiently tight.

A lasso, a wooden peg made from a twig, is then attached to the end of each fiber so that it can be rotated more easily.

Bringing the three strands together, Bi Fang starts spinning in opposite directions. Keep adding, and spinning, until he reaches the number of ropes he thinks he needs.

"Sometimes I feel in a dilemma when making it, and it is very difficult. At this time, we can fix the completed part; each strand should be kept tight. The completed part can be wrapped around the trunk, so that the length of the rotation will be shortened."

"Finally the end of the rope needs to be secured in some way so it doesn't unravel. Then the rope is wound and tied securely to avoid fraying."

A finger-thin hemp rope was prepared, although it may not seem very thick, in fact its strength is quite amazing, at least two adults can absolutely pull it continuously.

Even the tug-of-war in Bi Fang's hands can support about ten people, and it is more than enough to imprison a black bear.

After tying the rope around his shoulders, Bi Fang began to look for a suitable place to set up a trap.

different from before.

When Bi Fang hunted, he always looked for as big a target as possible. The bigger bears tended to have more irritable and domineering personalities, but the smaller ones were different.

From this point of view, animals are no different from humans.

Those with a weak body usually have an introverted personality and low self-esteem, while those with a strong body are more confident. Without good guidance, such self-confidence may even turn into domineering, which is especially common in kindergartens and elementary schools with immature views.

Little black bears will run away when they see people.
