365 days of wilderness survival

Chu Feng made the holes reserved in the stone wall square, the size of a small wooden bench, which was used to build a chimney.

If he wanted to build a fireplace in the shelter, then smoke extraction was important, so he planned to build a chimney outside the stone wall corresponding to the fireplace.

The role of the chimney is very important, when the fireplace is burning wood, it will heat the air to form hot air.

Using the principle that hot air rises and smoke is lighter than air, the resulting smoke is exhausted from the top outlet of the chimney by hot air, and fresh cold air outside is swept in from the inlet.

This can increase the oxygen required for wood to burn, so that the wood burns more fully, and the fire will be stronger.

Of course, the most important thing is to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.

Chu Feng got up, found stones of similar size around, moved a lot of clay, and began to build the chimney.

The construction of the chimney was simple, first using stone and clay to build a stone platform in the ground, and when it was level with the hole reserved for the stone wall, the hollow chimney pipe was built.

The construction of the pipeline is naturally still made of stone, fixed with clay, and stacked up layer by layer, because there is a stone wall as a support, this time Chu Feng has to make the chimney at one time.

21 When the fireplace is set up and the wood is burned, the heat will easily dry the clay and stabilize the chimney.

After a long period of firewood burning, the clay can easily be burned into a semi-pottery shape.

More than half an hour later, Chu Feng moved the wooden table, stood on it and continued to build the chimney, starting the final finishing work.

When the chimney is completed, it is almost two meters tall than the walls of the new shelter, and it is in the shape of a wide bottom and narrow top.

"The next thing is to build the fireplace." Chu Feng came down from the wooden table, his fingers rubbing the clay between his fingernails.

When he arrived at the new shelter, the girl had already moved everything she could, and only some large items were too heavy to move.

Yun Xin sorted out the clay pot on the ground, turned his head and asked with a smile: "Is Chu Feng busy?" "

The joy of a new home, the girl always has a smile on her face, and the new shelter has become more and more homely.

"Well, the chimney is ready." Chu Feng chuckled.

"Then help move the bed over so I can clean it up." Yun Xin said with a smile, looking at the things placed on the ground of the new shelter, she couldn't help but want to sort them all out.

"Good." Chu Feng replied with a smile and turned around to go to the old shelter.

After a while, he walked out carrying the wooden bed, and the girl stretched out her hand next to him.

"Fortunately, this door is big enough." Chu Feng slowly pushed the big bed in through the arched stone door and moved it to the corner of the wall.

"Chu Feng, make a wooden shelf, clay pots and water tanks spread on the ground like this I think it takes up too much space." Yun Xin held the small water tank and slowly moved to the position next to the wall.

On the ground are all bottles and jars, including bamboo tubes, wooden barrels and other things.

"Yes." Chu Feng nodded in agreement, the new home did lack a wooden shelf.

Clay pots, which contain food, must be lifted off the ground, otherwise many insects such as ants and centipedes will crawl by.

"Good." Yun Xin replied with a smile and immediately packed up other things.

"Then there's the fireplace." Chu Feng turned around and came to the location of the hole in the stone wall, raised his eyes and looked out, only to see the clay that had not yet dried out on the inner wall of the chimney.

On the ground corresponding to the hole, there is still a crater, and below it is rubble buried before the foundation was laid.

Chu Feng planned the location, laid a layer of clay on the ground, and began to build the fireplace with stones.

He plans to build a fireplace half a meter wide and a meter long, which will also be used as a stove for cooking and heating in winter.

Stone blocks and clay were laid layer after layer, and in the middle of the ground, a gap of about thirty centimeters was reserved, and according to the way the stone gate was built, a semicircular arched door hole was built, which was used to add firewood.

More than half an hour had passed, and the three walls of the fireplace had been built, and the height was about sixty centimeters.

The whole fireplace is still not yet capped, which is also the most difficult part, because there is a hole left for the steel pot.

Chu Feng pondered for a while, turned around and left the shelter, and searched in the pile of rubble.

"Chu Feng, what are you looking for?" Yun Xin walked out of the shelter and asked curiously.

She had just laid everything out, and the wooden table was also scrubbed and pulled in, and placed in the middle of the new shelter, which would be where the two of them would eat.

"Find a few flat stones." Chu Feng replied casually, his gaze scanning the pile of rocks, and from time to time he turned the stones pressed below with his hands.

Yun Xin helped rummage through it, and after a while, he found a flat stone in the pile of rubble not far away.

She quickly shouted, "Chu Feng, you see that this piece is big and flat, can you?" "

Chu Feng walked over and chuckled after seeing the stone: "Very good, it can be used to cover the roof of the furnace." "

After searching for nearly twenty minutes, he finally found a few flat stones, the two largest of which were half a meter long.

The two struggled to transport the stones back to the new shelter.

Chu Feng carefully put the two largest stones on the walls of the furnace on both sides, leaving a hole in the middle, and then used the rest of the stones to superimpose them with clay, and finally only a square gap remained.

He used clay to repair the square notches into a round shape, the size of the bottom of a steel pot, so that when the fire was made and the water was boiled, no smoke would leak out.

Chu Feng thought about it and pinched a 660-flat round lid with clay, which was used to cover the round stove hole, and cover it when not cooking, so that no smoke would run into the shelter.

When he prepares to cook this evening, he first fires the round lid into a semi-ceramic shape, and then builds a kiln later when he has time to make a more durable lid.

"Are you ready?" Yun Xin came over with water.

Chu Feng took the pottery bowl and took a sip: "Well, try it in the evening to see if you can use it." "

"It looks good, it should work."

Yun Xin looked at the fireplace and couldn't help but ask sideways: "Chu Feng, when did your hands-on ability become so strong." "

"I've always been so strong, it's just that you didn't notice it before." The corners of Chu Feng's mouth raised slightly, and there was a shiver on his face.

Yun Xin was amused, and said with a playful smile: "Your skin has also become thicker." "

"Hahaha, let's go, let's go pick some wormwood." Chu Feng laughed heartily a few times, and was ready to go out to the jungle to find herbs to do insect repellent.

Yesterday night, Chu Feng slept very lightly, and the sound of mosquitoes had been echoing above his head and next to his ears, and he was woken up several times in the middle.
