Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness?-Chapter 176 - Discovering the Reindeer

“We have to ensure our body temperature in the wild.

In the story just now, the reason why those few people froze to death was actually because they ate snow directly.

This will quickly consume the heat in his body.

The correct method is to melt the snow in the canteen with the temperature of my body.

Don’t think that this is a trivial matter. In this environment, every detail can save your life.”

The night was unbearable, and the cold was making things difficult.

Bell could only chat with the viewers to pass the time.

The time difference between Fairbanks and Beijing was 22 hours, and Bell was currently in the Arctic Circle which happened to have a difference of 24 hours.

Seeing the audience say that it was time to prepare for work and school, Bell realized that the night had already passed.

He kicked aside the snow blocking the entrance, and light entered the igloo along with the cold wind.

Without comparison, there was no harm.

Bell thought it was already quite cold in the igloo.

But when the entrance was opened, he realized that the inside could be considered warm in comparison.

......

However, it was not the time to be troubled about this.

After putting away his parachute in the backpack, Bell called for Ped. free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐oｍ

It was time to move.

The two of them walked out of the igloo. The morning temperature was very low, only around -20 °C.

He called the other team members over through the chat and gathered them. Then, he checked their conditions.

Their conditions were not bad other than being lethargic and listless due to not getting sleep. With the reminder from the comments, they kept their limbs moving, so they did not get frostbites.

“Not bad, congratulations on passing the first night in the Arctic Circle.”

After a day and night of tossing and turning, the few contestants in the team were not in the mood to scheme anymore. Their minds were also pushed to the limits.

“Alright, let’s continue heading southeast today.”

“Cheer up. We’re doing a show.”

Seeing everyone looking listless, Bell scolded.

Everyone perked up.

“Our goal today is to reach the tree line before nightfall.

When we get there, we can start a fire.

I know everyone is hungry, but it is because of this that we need to complete this goal faster.”

As a mentor, Bell had to encourage the team from time to time.

Soon, the ten-man team set off again.

They walked till noon. Bell did not know how far he had walked, but something in front of him made his eyes light up.

Not far away from him, there was a dead white birch tree standing in the snow.

Bell quickly walked forward and patted the white birch tree, smiling.

“Hehe, do you see this? This is the first plant we saw in the Arctic Circle. The appearance of this tree is not simple. It means that not far ahead is the tree line we are looking for.

In the wilderness, you have to understand how to give yourself a belief. Otherwise, survival will be very difficult. This white birch tree has such an effect right now. ”

Seeing hope, everyone felt better and their footsteps became faster.

It was better to have a goal than aimlessly moving forward in the snow. This was simply too despairing.

The snow under their feet had become much thicker, reaching past their knees.

It became even more difficult to move.

“I just saw someone ask why the snow below the snow mountain is thicker than above.

The reason is simple. It is thanks to the sea breeze.

It keeps blowing inland. The snow will slowly fall from the snowy mountain and accumulate here.”

Bell bent down, grabbed a handful of snow, and brought it to the camera.

The snow in his hand was loose.

“Do you see that? This snow is not sticky at all. It’s like powder.”

Time passed slowly. Bell and the others walked for another few hundred meters. In this environment, although it was only a few hundred meters, it was still very difficult.

But hope often appeared at this moment.

Bell was surprised to find a path about half a meter wide on the snow ahead.

After careful observation, Bell confirmed the footprints on the path.

“These should be the footprints left by reindeers.

Look at these footprints. They look a little like a pair of boots.

The feet of the reindeer are like this.

Such large feet can let them walk on the soft snow like it is flat ground. ”

He felt the snow inside the footprints.

“Looks like the footprints are fresh. This reindeer must have passed by here not long ago.”

“If we can capture one, the food for ten people will be taken care of.”

Bell salivated at the thought of food.

The eyes of the team members beside him lit up when they heard that there was food.

The comments in the live-stream were booing.

“As expected, this is still the food show I know.”

“Reindeer, run. Bell is here.”

“F*ck, Bell’s gaze was so scary.”

“Host, is it possible to tame a reindeer and use it as a mount? Won’t this save a lot of effort?”

Bell filtered out the indecent suggestions in the live-stream.

Thinking that he would be able to eat hot roasted deer meat soon, Bell suddenly felt a surge of energy.

“Now, everyone, pay attention to your steps.”

“Stay behind me and don’t make a sound.”

These guys who had been hungry for a day and night nodded. The most important thing now was to get food. They did not have the mood to go against Bell. If they alarmed the prey, they would have to starve together. 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

The few of them followed the footprints on the snow for another hour. Finally, they saw a few dead white birch trees and ten or so reindeer.

The reindeer were using their hooves to push aside the thick snow and search for moss and dry grass buried under the snow.

Gulp ~

Bell swallowed.

He lowered his body.

“There are a total of 13 reindeer here.

They shouldn’t be able to discover us at this distance, but we can’t continue to approach.

Because we’re in the upwind, our smell will blow in their direction.

Once they get our smell, they will immediately escape.

We need to go around to the downwind and launch a surprise attack.”
