Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? Chapter 174 - Building the Igloo

Chapter 174: Building the Igloo

Because this was the exit, under the influence of the wind, the ice was not as hard as the snow outside.

It took Bell only a few minutes to expand the hole.

“Alright, follow behind .”

Although Bell was not tall, his temperant was revealed. He looked like a captain.

He carried his backpack and rubbed his frozen face.

“I don’t want to experience this again.”

Although he complained, Bell had to admit that this crevasse had indeed saved him a lot of ti.

After leaving the crevasse, the ten-man team was already on the other side of the mountain. It saved them a lot of distance.

With their previous experience, the few of them descended the mountain quickly.

Bell looked up at the sun that was beginning to set.

He shook his head helplessly.

“Actually, we haven’t been moving for too long. We have already tried our best to save ti.

But because this is the Arctic Circle and it is in a polar night state, even though this is in the periphery, there is still so effect.

......

The day is too short.

We have to build a camp before it gets dark.”

“Alright, I’ll assign the tasks to everyone now.”

Bell turned around and looked at the people in the team.

“I know all of you have your own survival experience, so I won’t explain further.”

We need a shelter. It will drop to -25 °C after the sun sets, and lower further at night.

The mission is to find a snow slope that backs the wind and build an igloo.

Do you know how to do it? If you can’t, you can ask . ”

“Building the igloo requires a lot of energy, and it’s difficult to finish it alone. You can split into two to three groups.

How to arrange the team will be up to you.”

The ten-man team looked at each other.

Ped hesitantly approached.

“ntor, can I apply to be in the sa group as you?”

“Can’t you build an igloo?” Bell asked with a frown.

Ped scratched his head sheepishly.

“Sorry, I don’t have experience in this environnt.”

Since Ped admitted it, Bell could not say anything else.

“Alright, then form a team with .”

Seeing that Bell agreed, Ped happily went to Bell’s side.

He looked at the other mbers like a bodyguard, making Bell speechless.

The other mbers were also speechless seeing Ped’s expression.

It seed that Ped was completely convinced by Bell.

He really had no backbone. Did he forget what he was doing after receiving so small kindness?

Didn’t they say that they would destroy Bell’s reputation?

“All right, is there anyone who doesn’t have experience, other than Ped? Don’t push yourself.

You might think this is easy, but it can be very difficult if you don’t have the experience.

I don’t want to lose so of you tomorrow morning.”

But despite Bell’s words, no one stood forward.

“Alright, let’s start looking for a place.”

The ten mbers dispersed, except for Ped.

Bell began to search for a spot to build the igloo.

Ped was like a little sidekick beside Bell.

Bell looked at the comnts in the live-stream and interacted with them.

“I saw so people asking questions about how an igloo can keep us warm? Shouldn’t it be colder inside?

Actually, this idea is wrong.

The airtight igloo can block the cold outside.

The reason why the environnt is cold is mainly because of the cold wind.

Secondly, this igloo has low thermal conductivity, it can prevent the heat from dissipating to the surroundings.

Even in the middle of the night, when the temperature outside is -50 °C, this igloo can still maintain a temperature of -10 °C.

Although the temperature is not high, at least it will stop us from freezing to death. ”

While Bell was talking, Ped kept following him and even seed to be pondering Bell’s words from ti to ti.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the back of a snow slope.

Bell pressed the surface gently and found that the snow was solid enough. He put down his backpack.

“We have two people, so let’s dig together. It should be bigger, about three ters.”

Ped nodded.

Because there were no tools, the two of them could only use their hands to dig. Fortunately, the accumulated snow was not too hard, so the two of them dug a three-ter square space in about half an hour.

“We need to solidify the snow with our body temperature, or it will collapse easily.”

Although Ped felt that his hands were a little numb, he still followed Bell’s instructions.

After doing all this, Bell did not forget to seal the entrance to the igloo.

After a while, the two of them finally had ti to sit and rest.

Looking at Ped whose hands were red from the cold, Bell smiled.

“How do you feel? Are you okay?”

Ped held out his hand and smiled bitterly.

“I can’t even tell whose hand it is.”

“This is normal. Just endure for a while and you will recover.”

Ped nodded.

“The effect of sitting inside the igloo is imdiately obvious. I can clearly feel that it’s much warr inside than outside.

It is starting to get dark in the Arctic Circle. The temperature outside can really freeze a person to death, but we can sleep peacefully here. ”

After sitting for a while, Bell felt exhausted. He took out his parachute from his bag and threw it on the ground.

Then, he wrapped it around himself like a sleeping bag.

“The live broadcast for today will end here.

We need to have a good sleep. When we wake up, it should be past the coldest period. We will then continue moving forward.

I hope our luck is good tomorrow and we can find so food. ”

With that, Bell closed the live-stream.

He used his parachute as a sleeping bag and thought that he would be fine after sleeping.

However, the two of them thought too simply.

In less than an hour, the two of them realized that they were too cold to sleep.

“ntor Bell, are you asleep?”

Ped’s voice sounded.

Bell smiled bitterly.

“Maybe I would have fallen asleep already if you didn’t disturb .”

Seeing that Bell was not sleeping, Ped smiled.

“ntor, thank you so much for today.”
