Desert Island Survival Diary

Chapter 133 No.80 Three Days, Bow and Arrow Materials Seeking Subscription
Another animal came to my yard to make trouble last night, and the hissing was noisy for a long time. This time it was not like a wild boar, but I usually don’t go out at night, and it is easy to encounter danger when I go out at this time.

It was still drizzling in the morning, but now the whole sky has begun to brighten. According to this judgment, the rain may stop soon, and it should not exceed tomorrow at the latest.I went to the yard to check it out, but it was a pity that the heavy rain had just washed away those traces last night, and I didn't find any traces at all.

But when I went to the workshop, I accidentally found a piece of minced meat!That's right!It's just a small piece of minced meat with black fur on it. I don't know what kind of animal it is!But one thing I can be sure of is that some carnivores must have visited my yard.

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little numb. For nocturnal carnivores, threat is not something that can be included in a big word.Logically speaking, the gap between the walls is not that big, and large beasts generally won't get in at all.Except for the wild boar that broke through the fence before, this was the first time that a carnivorous animal appeared in this yard.

Could it be that!Is this what the notebook said, the creature that killed Xiao Hei's former owner's companion "Li"?impossible?How did it appear here?

When I think of this creature, my whole body is surrounded by a chill. If it is really it, it is really unlucky.If you encounter it head-on, there is still a glimmer of hope to escape, but if you encounter it inadvertently... it will definitely be more or less fierce.

I have to say that this conjecture scared me quite a bit, and I clenched my hands tightly without realizing it, and my whole palm was wet.I hope I don't come across it by chance.After all, I have lived here for so long, if this is where it often comes, I should have become its food long ago.Maybe it's just passing by?Maybe other animals?Several counterarguments appeared in my mind, trying to calm my nervous heart.

These opinions have indeed played a role, at least the extremely tense mood has been greatly relaxed.But I must be more cautious myself. After all, I didn’t know anything about this place before. The dangers were all explored and discovered by myself, and I didn’t know that much.When you don't know the danger, you don't feel so scary.But now that I've known, even confirmed the existence of those deadly dangers, the mood will naturally be different.

Weapons, I need weapons!The bow and arrow must be made first!Also going to make a wooden handle for the fire axe.Extend its length.It will be much safer to use it against snakes or other animals that are not very agile.However, how to install the fire ax on the wooden handle can ensure that it does not fall off.This is a big problem.Still need to try later.

But bows and arrows are not needed, and the notebook is clearly written, including materials and a brief production process.Although the writing is relatively rough, after you have the materials, you can try the production method slowly. The most important thing is that the materials for making bows and arrows are very common things.

The first material, small tree.He didn't write down the name of this small tree, and I don't even know it.A small tree can be used to make a bow. As for how to make it, I mentioned it in a few strokes in the notebook, but I didn’t explain it clearly. It’s just that it’s written, and there needs to be a place to hold it in the middle.At the end of each end, cut two grooves for bowstrings.

This is written in the notebook: the trunk is divided into two, and after trimming, it is the bow.

What is the difference between this sentence and not saying it... What does it look like?Trimming from the outside or trimming from the incision?Couldn't find a little description.There is no way, this can only be tried slowly.

The method of bowstring is very clear: peel off a piece of fresh bark, tear off all the inner layers of the bark one by one, dry it and weave it into a bowstring by braiding.Of course, I have never braided before, but although I have never seen a pig run, I have eaten pork!When I was in school, my naughty deskmate liked to pull the braids of the little girl in front of me the most, and was often torn apart, so I saw braids many times.

It's not difficult to say, just use three dried barks to intertwine and cross each other, and finally weave them together.Of course, this is just my current thoughts, just an example.Just three barks are definitely not strong enough, but if they are twisted into three strands and then wound together at the end, the degree of firmness can be greatly changed.

Of course, the bark is not difficult to find. There are many trees near me. I picked a tree that could be carried with one hand, cut off its bark about half a meter above the ground, and then cut it more than one meter above. Take a turn.Then use the ax to start from the top and slide the bark away, then take out the kitchen knife.Slowly peel off the bark with a kitchen knife.

It is time-consuming to get the bark. Try to make sure that the bark is not broken. After you get it off, you can directly tear off the inner layer of the bark that is more than one meter long, so as not to spend time connecting it.And in order not to damage the inner layer, my knife sticks to the trunk and pushes the bark forward very slowly.

Finally, the whole piece of bark was removed.There are only a few small holes in the bark. I am very satisfied with the result.The inner layers of these barks are very easy to tear because they have just been shoveled off.

Sit by the fire and tear for a full hour until no more pieces can be torn off.I didn't lose this piece of bark, and it still looks very good. If such a large piece is used as a waterproof layer for the roof, it is also very good.

The inner bark cannot be used immediately after being torn off, it must be dried, so I spread them out near the fire, not too close, and there is a stone in the middle.

As for the material of the bow body, when the tile embryo was being made yesterday, half of the tree trunk was left.Just ready to use.It is clearly stated in the notebook that the most important part of bowing is balance. The length and weight of both sides must be the same. , it doesn't matter.Because after it is done, it must be debugged slowly.Only after trying and adjusting is the bow that can really be used.

I was not in a hurry, but took out the Swiss Army Knife first, and then made many different marks on the trunk according to my own ideas and understanding.If you start cutting blindly, it is easy to make mistakes.In order not to waste time, engrave the imaginary steps in advance.

It took another four or ten minutes to do this. It wasn’t that it took so long to engrave, but it was after constant revisions and trials that the plan came to fruition.This is just the beginning, and I will modify each step as appropriate according to the actual situation.
