Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? Chapter 307

307 Snow Cave Shelter

Bell could not give an accurate answer about the battle between the lion and the tiger.

While he was chatting, the snow around him gradually beca heavier.

The snow on the ground had already reached Bell’s knees.

Faced with this situation, Bell had no choice but to slow down.

He had already done a round of intense exercise.

After walking for a while, the heat was starting to dissipate.

These thin clothes could no longer resist the cold, making his entire body tremble.

“No, we have to find a shelter as soon as possible to dry our clothes and replenish so proteins.”

Although he said that, the forest was buried in the thick snow.

How could it be so easy to find a suitable shelter?

Unless one was really lucky, they would not be able to find a natural shelter like yesterday’s.

Bell could only build it himself.

Fortunately, there was still so ti before nightfall.

Bell estimated that he had about an hour left which was enough to build a shelter.

He looked around and did not find a suitable place to build a shelter.

After a mont of deep thought, Bell turned and walked in the direction he had co from.

The audience in the live-stream was very puzzled by Bell’s actions.

“I know what everyone is thinking. We have indeed wasted so ti, but it doesn’t matter.

We climbed over a snow slope just earlier.

We can dig a snow cave there, like the one we dug in Alaska to keep warm.”

The energy and heat in Bell’s body were almost exhausted.

If he continued to endure the cold for another night, sothing might really happen.

Therefore, he had to take so heating asures today.

Fortunately, Bell soon arrived at the snow slope he had climbed.

The entire snow slope looked to be more than ten ters wide and two ters tall.

Putting down his backpack, Bell began to dig quickly.

“In this weather, if we use wooden sticks to build a shelter, a thin parachute will not be able to protect us from the cold.

I’ve already told everyone about the reason why the igloo can keep the inside warm.

Although it’s not as good as a real house, it can let sleep peacefully. ”

Most importantly, this place was too close to the Siberian tiger’s territory.

If there was such an igloo, the dangerous Siberian tiger would not dig through the snow like a groundhog and attack Bell.

Of course, the interior of this snow slope was actually very loose.

Unlike the snow on the ground that had been frozen as hard as ice, this slope made it relatively easy for Bell to dig.

The snow hole was not straight. It needed to be dug at a slanted angle.

“Rember, when digging a snow cave in the wild, the angle has to be tilted upwards.

This way, the cold air will not enter the cave. After digging, we will dig a snow trench.

With the logic of convection current that cold air sinks, the cold air in the cave will gather in the snow trench and increase our temperature.”

It was not difficult to dig the loose snow. It took Bell less than half an hour to dig his shelter.

There was a 1m long passage.

Bell’s true shelter was built past the passage.

When night fell, he only needed to start a fire and block this path.

Bell did not dig too high. He only needed it to be about a ter tall and two ters wide. It was definitely enough to accommodate a child.

He could even use this empty space to dig another trench to settle the cold air.

“Alright, our shelter is completed. We have to gather so firewood so that we can eat our dinner and have a good sleep.”

Although digging this snow was not difficult, it was a huge project for Bell. He was already sweating.

Now that his movents had stopped, Bell could clearly feel the sweat on his body quickly condensing. It was the sa feeling as when he had fallen into the river, making the blood vessels on his skin tighten. His body started trembling involuntarily.

Fortunately, Bell was in the pine forest and did not lack wood. Soon, he gathered a large pile.

In order to sleep better tonight, Bell deliberately found so thick tree trunks.

These thick tree trunks could burn for at least a few hours. This could increase Bell’s sleep quality and prevent him from having to get up every hour to add firewood.

After returning to the shelter, Bell began to start a fire.

But at this mont, he could already feel that his hands were no longer agile, and his sense of touch was disappearing bit by bit.

Moreover, because of the intense activity, the sweat on his skin seed to have condensed into a thin layer of ice armor, causing Bell’s temperature to drop rapidly.

If he could not start a fire, Bell would probably close the live-stream and buy the life-saving dicine in the system.

But it was not the ti to make that decision yet. Although his fingers were not very agile, he still had a way to start a fire.

The fire saw thod was a good choice. It did not require much flexibility in the hand. As long as he could move the thread back and forth, and the speed was fast enough, flas would be produced in a short ti.

As expected, in less than a minute, a fire rose in Bell’s small shelter.

He added more firewood and the small flas quickly turned into a burning fire.

The reflection on the smooth and white wall of the snow cave made it much brighter.

“Yes, it’s really comfortable to have such a fire.

“If you haven’t experienced it yourself, you will never know this comfort.”

Bell heaved a sigh of relief. He wished he could hold this fire in his arms.

After a while, Bell could feel his body gradually warm up. He used this ti to block the snow passage.

Of course, it was not completely blocked. At the very least, there had to be a vent.

Then, Bell took out the frozen clothes from his backpack and knocked them with his hand. He could hear so clanging sounds.

They were clearly frozen stiff.
