Wilderness Survival Live Room

Chapter 11 Mussels
"Finally we're at the beach. I always knew that the most likely place to find rescuers is when you reach the coastline. But you may still find no one if you walk 500 miles here or there. So now you need to judge, there are most likely people living there. "

"I came to one of the many coves on the Alaskan coastline, and my best chance of being rescued was in the hope that I would be spotted by the many small fishing boats fishing in the area."

Xiang Qianqian continued to move forward along the land, and soon came to a place where a river flows into the sea.

"Look at this, it's a dead salmon, and there's another one over there. That's really cool, it means the salmon come up this side of the stream, and salmon often come back from the ocean, 200 miles away, to find their birth The river, even the same tributary, goes back to give birth and die. The river is full of king salmon and pink salmon. I don't have a fishing line, I have to catch the fish some other way. I'm going to use a branch as a harpoon, a salmon this big, I need the main branch of a tree." Li Changsheng found a tree, the branches on the main trunk were in the shape of a Y, extending up to four meters.

"The first step is to clear the other twigs, then break off these two branches and sharpen them. This will pierce the tough skin of the fish and immobilize the fish. I can catch the fish with my hands. It took 10 minutes to make the harpoon. But in terms of the time to catch fish, I can guarantee that it will definitely be longer than this time, even several times longer than that.”

Shannon earns money by finding suitable spots for fishing.

"There are about a thousand salmon in this side of the water, and fish are easily frightened animals, so we keep our voices low and our movements as quiet as possible. But fish have a poor memory, so we can have more than one salmon in one place. Catch some salmon. The water here is too deep, so it’s not suitable for spearfishing. I think if you can catch salmon in the shallow water, you will have a better chance of winning.” Xiang Qianqian threw stones into the river, and at the same time used The harpoon slapped the water continuously.

The salmon was frightened and started to swim towards the shallow water area, which was exactly what Xiang Qiangqian wanted to see.

"I see a lot of fish where they are in 6 feet of water. The secret to catching fish is to approach steadily from downstream. One of the main predators of salmon is the eagle. The eagle swoops down from above, so the salmon Very sensitive to shadows, if the salmon see my shadow they will swim away, I have to wait for the perfect moment, I am standing here motionless now, the fish start to come. But they are really too smart, always swim Where I can't catch, I heard that the secret to catching fish is to be patient." Xiang Qianqian has no way to do better and can only maintain the current posture.

Finally a salmon thumped and swam over, and Xiang Qianqian perfectly speared it, successfully catching it.

"This fish is very delicious. I inserted my hands into Ercai's gills, and then inserted my fingers into the wound on the fish's back to firmly grasp the fish."

The fish that Xiang Qianjin caught was very big. It was half a meter long and wider than his thighs. Its belly was snow-white, and its back and fins were off-white.

"This guy can be caught from the river and eaten raw. Because there is no pollution here, and the water is also melted water from clean snow mountains."

Xiang Qianqian was hungry for a long time, so he threw himself on the belly of the fish and took a hard bite. The fish smelled a little bit fishy, ​​but more importantly, the fish was fresh and clean, and the taste was very good, but the taste was very light. Also very chewy.For such a big fish, Xiang Qiangqian can't finish it by himself, and he can't take it with him, so he can only thank him silently in his heart and move on.

After eating enough to fill his stomach, Xiang made money and continued to move in the direction he chose.

"Although we are out of the forest now, there are still bears around us, because the bears will come down to fish." Xiang Qianqian walked slowly along the shore, and a piece of dark blue grass suddenly appeared on the shore. space.

"Hey, look at this! That's why I have to be very careful here too. You see there's a clear sign of a bear here, and his ass is sitting right here, gorging on salmon. You see There are fish bones here, which is amazing. Not only can we see the traces of where he was, but we can also see the leftovers of what he ate. You can see the belly fat, eggs and internal organs of the fish are all eaten. Then It's all fat and protein. Everything else is abandoned by bears, so be careful here. It's evening now, and I have to find a place to rest. The cave is obviously a natural resting place. But it's usually taken over by wildlife, including bears."

Xiang Qianqian found a cave on the shore. The shore in front of the cave is so small that it can only accommodate one person walking around. The cave is also shallow enough to see what's inside at a glance.

"This cave is obviously a good choice. It is safe at a glance. It is a good place to rest. The high rock wall means that nothing can sneak up on me from behind. I need to rest as soon as possible. What will happen. Anything can happen in the wild, we can only maintain a certain amount of energy and physical strength to deal with it.”

After a simple rest for half an hour, Xiang Qiangqian must think about what to eat tonight.

"Now that I'm on the coast, the sea has receded. There's plenty of food here, especially now at low tide, and this rock is full of mussels, which is a great source of food. I'm going to pick a lot of mussels, It will be cooked later. Mussels are distributed in many countries, and mussels are a very common food in our country. Almost all of them are found along the coast. However, mussels are one of the staple foods of many local tribes in Alaska, and shellfish must be cooked It can only be eaten when it is cooked, so I need fire. Look for some golden clematis hairs, those can be directly used as kindling, and then find firewood."

Xiang Qiangqin had already seen golden clematis on the way here, so this one shouldn't be hard to find, but on his way to collect firewood, he found a better thing.

"Dead tree. That's what I'm looking for. A dead tree that's down on the ground is usually covered in moss and very wet, but this one is great, standing upright and dry, and the branches should snap off easily .There's a good way to tell if wood is good for a fire. If you hear a cracking sound, like the crackling of a firewood, that's usually good wood for a fire."

Xiang Qianqian found firewood and a suitable kindling, and soon lit a fire.

"Because I don't have a pan, I can only cover the mussels with two layers of seaweed. This effect is to steam the mussels. It takes about 10 minutes to cook them. When collecting mussels, you must remember to take a look. If the shell is not If they are closed, it means they are dead, so don’t take them. It’s definitely not good for you to eat dead ones. But after cooking, the shell should open. So to judge whether they are cooked or not, just look at whether their shells are open or not.”
