Survive in the Wilderness for 365 Days

Chapter 49 : Alternative wood chiseling. [3 more support]

The dinner was plain and flat, and ended with a little warmth, and the two became busy.

Yun Xin packed his pots and chopsticks, looked up at the surroundings while blinking his eyelashes, and said softly, “Chu Feng, there are really no mosquitoes.”

“The effectiveness of the insect repellent seems to be pretty good.” Chu Feng glanced around, but didn’t see any mosquitoes.

Otherwise, like yesterday, there were many mosquitoes hovering in the shelter, and they would bite people whenever they had the opportunity.

“Great, no need to tickle.” Yun Xin lowered his head and glanced at his leg. There were several red teasers on it, all of which were bitten by mosquitoes.

“From now on, carry an insect repellent with you, and absolutely no mosquitoes can get close to you.” Chu Feng pointed to the corner of the shelter. There were several insect repellents on the rocks.

“Okay, then I will sew the cloth bag first.” Yun Xin took out the wooden needle and thread and started to work tonight.

After Chu Feng waited for the girl’s hatchet to cut the cloth, he took the hatchet and began to process the wood.

Tonight, he will give priority to getting a wooden bucket out, and tomorrow he will go to the beach. He must have a container to hold water. As for the bark rope, he can get it tomorrow.

“There must be no cracks.” Chu Feng selected the middle section of the wood and marked it with a hatchet, which was almost half a meter long.

“Woo…”

Chu Feng sighed, took the hatchet and started to chop up the wood, preparing to divide the uncracked section.

“Boom boom…”

With a knife on the left and a knife on the right, cut diagonally in a ‘V’ shape, which makes it easier to cut large pieces of wood. Otherwise, the closer you get to the depth of the wood, the harder it will be to make a knife.

Chu Feng chops and chops very rhythmically. It takes a while to chop the wood more than 30 centimeters thick.

After cutting one side, I turned to the other side and cut again, leaving the center position with the engineer’s shovel saw blade and started to saw.

“Kacha Kacha…”

Even if the temperature drops at night, you will sweat if you work too hard.

“Huhuhu…”

Chu Feng controlled the rhythm and kept himself from sweating too much, otherwise the evening bath would be useless.

After more than ten minutes, the wood was finally cut off, and the rest was to chop the other side.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

It was ten minutes later.

“It’s done.” Chu Feng shook his sore wrist and looked at the half-meter-long piece of wood.

Now to deal with the uneven cross section on both sides, both sides must be cut flat, otherwise it is not done standing on the flat ground.

“Boom boom…”

Chu Feng cut slowly with a single knife, and also cut out a sense of rhythm, to accompany the animals outside “Ghost Cry Wolf Howling”.

The jungle at night is really terrifying, the strange sounds of various animals, as if being in a ‘ghost world’.

After half an hour, the wood was flattened by Chu Feng, and the half-meter-high wood stood upright like a wooden stool.

“Are you going to start chiseling wood?”

Yun Xin stopped the needlework in his hand, rubbed his astringent eyes, and whispered, “Would you like to take a break?”

The fire is used as light, and the flame will jump with the flow of air, making people’s eyes more tired.

“I’m not tired. I’ll do it a little longer while I’m not sleepy now.” Chu Feng raised his mouth slightly, holding the sharp head of the engineer shovel, and aiming at the center of the wood to start drilling.

“Huh? That’s OK?” Yun Xin asked in surprise.

“In the beginning, you can use the engineer shovel to drill a drill, but when the drill penetrates a little deeper, you can’t drill, and the strength of your hand will not be able to twist the engineer shovel.” Chu Feng explained.

The engineer’s shovel prepared by the program team is about 20 cm wide, which just leaves the barrel with a thickness of five or six centimeters.

“That’s it.” Yun Xin nodded seemingly.

“Kahhhhhhh…”

Chu Feng drilled for a few minutes, and the contact surface of the engineer shovel with the inner wall of the wood was more, and the friction became larger. There was no way to twist the engineer shovel any more, and could only pull the engineer shovel out.

Then in the girl’s dumbfounded eyes, Chu Feng shoveled a red charcoal with an engineer shovel and threw it into the hole in the wood.

“Chu Feng, you won’t burn wood.” Yun Xin worried.

“No.” Chu Feng shook his head and explained softly: “As long as you don’t let the wood generate flames, it’s okay. You can clean up the wood wall before charring.”

He learned this method by watching some videos. Someone used this method to burn through wood to make a stone axe.

Now he uses it to burn wood to make wooden barrels very well, and it also saves effort.

The main reason is that there is no chisel. If you use stone as a chisel, you are afraid of chipping the wood. And the bottom of a half-meter-high wooden barrel is difficult to chisel.

“Chu Feng, can I make a few wooden bowls like this?” Yun Xin’s eyes lit up.

Among the girls, family is considered. Boys are mainly thinking about hunting. This is the previous family life pattern, and it is also the same pattern for the two now.

“Yes, you can try to do a few when you are free.” Chu Feng does have this plan.

In the future, the materials will be abundant, household tableware must be equipped, and life must always have a sense of ritual.

“You can leave the wooden bowl to me.” Yun Xin didn’t want to distract Chu Feng too much.

“Okay, then leave it to you.” Chu Feng chuckled lightly. In the future, I will have more free time at night, so I am afraid that there is nothing to do.

“The wood is emitting heavy smoke.” Yun Xin pointed at the wood in a panic and shouted.

“It’s okay.” Chu Feng calmly found two wooden sticks and pinched the charcoal out of the wood.

Then he reached in with a hatchet and scraped it, scraping out the charred part inside, so that the wood went deeper.
