Wilderness Live

Chapter 24
"It is extremely difficult to make fire in the wild without ignition tools, but in fact, there are many ways to make fire in this case, such as the fire pear method, the magnifying glass ignition method, and the rock-making fire method, etc. .”

"However, those methods are either too limited or require special tools, so now I am going to use a method of making fire that is most commonly used by outdoor enthusiasts and is also the easiest to do. Fire method."

Jia Long placed the few items he had found earlier on the ground, including a small pile of dry wood, plus a piece of dry grass and flocs.

After arranging them one by one, Jia Long attached his body.

The setting sun in the sky had already set under the high mountains, and the surrounding forest environment began to darken. The shadow of Jia Long's female figure was stretched slender.

Sweat dripped down her cheeks bit by bit, and she has been moving non-stop since the continuous operation of building the shelter.

Her already tired and hungry body felt even weaker now, but she couldn't stop moving.

Because the sky is getting darker and darker, if we don't raise the fire, there will be no operational lighting after a while.

"Now I'm going to make the final preparations for making a fire, but what I'm doing is not what everyone thinks is manually drilling wood to make a fire, which is too difficult for modern people."

"I'm going to use the bow-style method of making fire. As the name suggests, I use an object like a short bow to guide the friction, and then make fire. How to do it, please watch my next demonstration."

Jia Long groped around on his leather boots, and quickly tore off a long rope.

"Here is the shoelace, and it will be the best companion for us to make a fire."

"First of all, find a slightly elastic branch with a diameter of about three centimeters and a length of fifty or sixty centimeters. Of course, you can use non-elastic or thicker branches. This is a labor-saving and smooth one. question."

Jia Long found a similar branch, and quickly tied a shoelace on one end of it.

"Our shoelaces are still useful, so we can't tie a dead knot, otherwise it will be difficult to untie. Now we tie the shoelaces to the other end of the branch. Be careful not to tie them too tightly, leaving some room for the drill shaft."

Jia Long Green Onion tugged on the shoelace with her fingers, and tied the other end to the other side of the branch.

After a few quick laps, a slightly curved short bow-shaped thing appeared in front of the audience.

"Now we have a bow for lighting fire. Be careful not to tighten the shoelaces too tightly or loosely. The specific tightness will be tested with the rotating shaft later. It can be easily exerted without loosening."

"Then we also need a rotating shaft to match the firebow. It needs a relatively straight and smooth branch with a diameter of about 23 or [-] centimeters and a length of [-] to [-] centimeters."

Jia Long chose among the lumber brought in, and chose one that was almost suitable.

She started working on the shaft.

"We need to grind or cut out a [-]cm tip on the top of it, and also treat the shaft body, remove excess bark, etc., to make it smoother."

After putting the shaft on a large stone to grind the round tip, and polishing the shaft more smoothly with a stone knife, the operation of the shaft is also completed.

"Now it's the turn of the drill plate to ignite the fire, which is to be placed under the drill shaft, rub against the shaft to generate heat, and finally generate sparks."

"Attention everyone, the best material for drilling shafts is air-dried wood with oil, such as pine."

Jia Long placed a piece of wood he found on the ground. It should not be pine wood, but it has been thoroughly dried, with a faint scent of resin.

"This piece of wood is the drill board I decided on. It will be placed at the bottom of the shaft. It can be said that its material determines the speed and labor saving of our fire, so the drill board must be dry and flammable wood."

"Now we're going to work on that too."

"First, use a stone knife to dig out a small pit with the same diameter as the shaft and a depth of about two centimeters on the side near the edge."

"Then depending on the thickness of the wood, if possible, drill a small hole directly to create a small hole with the bottom, which can allow more air to participate in heat generation."

"As for the top plate, there are not many requirements. Of course, it is better to be smooth and harder, and a small hole is carved to fix the rotating shaft."

After doing all this, Jia Long breathed a sigh of relief, and gave a wry smile to the audience in front of the live broadcast camera.

"After finishing these preparations, 15 minutes have passed, and the sky is almost completely dark. It seems that I have failed a little bit. But it doesn't matter. Now, while there is still a little sunset light, let's work harder and put the fire out before it is completely dark. Rise up."

Then she put a pile of dry batting under the baseboard.

Put the rotating shaft on the firebow again, the method is very simple, first put the rotating shaft in the center of the shoelace, rotate the rotating shaft, the shoelace wraps the rotating shaft in a circle, and then it is installed.

Then, she aligned the tip of the rotating shaft with the hole drilled in advance on the drill board, but before that, she took some dry grass flocs around her and put them in the hole.

"These flocs are items that act as ignition agents. They are easy to find in the wild. The key point is that they are finely divided and dry, and they are flammable."

The top plate is put on the top of the rotating shaft again, so that the rotating shaft bears on the top plate and is inserted into the hole of the bottom plate, and the fire bow shoelace is rolled in the center.

Jia Long pulled the firebow left and right, driven by the shoelace, the shaft rotated rapidly.

creak creak creak.

A tooth-piercing sound resounded between the rotating shaft and the bottom plate. The rotating shaft was pulled by the shoelaces, and quickly performed a circular motion to work, causing the small pit between the bottom plate and the rotating shaft to generate high heat due to friction.

But lighting a fire is far from that simple. Jia Long kept pulling the fire bow, and after a few minutes passed, he didn't see any sparks appear.

"A giant in speech, but a dwarf in action, the anchor is here again."

"If you don't understand, get lost. It's very difficult to make a fire out of wood. Most people can't make a fire for you for a day."

"That's right, Master Long is still a girl, I feel so distressed, looking at her, her face is flushed red from exertion."

"It's too difficult, Master Long, give up."

Jia Long glanced at the bullet screen and smiled again, but she didn't have time to talk to the audience, but continued with her actions.

With the help of survival skills, after twelve or three minutes, when her fingers began to feel sore, a faint spark and smoke appeared between the bottom plate and the shaft.

"coming!"

She was overjoyed, and violently turned the shaft a few times, and then quickly moved the shaft away.

In the crater of the floor, a small pile of scorched black matter was generated due to high-speed friction, emitting smoke and sparks.

Carefully pick up the bottom plate, and pour these sparkling debris into the flocs that have been prepared on one side.

With Jia Long's dry and cracked red lips, she exhaled lightly, blowing out the black and red sparks placed in the floc.

"come on!"

"Success is just around the corner, come on, Master Long!"

When a group of viewers in the live broadcast room were anxious but unable to help, a flash of fire flashed from the floc.

The red fire light illuminated the surroundings, and in the darkening forest, there was a touch of brilliance.

"It's caught!?"

"Haha, I'm so touched. Watch it."

"Wooooow, why do I feel like crying when I see this little flame?"

"I want to cry + 1, Master Long is working too hard, it's already past six in the evening, and she hasn't eaten all day long."

Put the ignited floc into more hay, under the light of the growing fire, Jia Long showed a sincere smile on his tired expression...
