Chapter 103: Wild Survival Training
After searching online, Jiang Hao placed an order to buy a bunch of books, Beer's "Wilderness Survival Manual", "Wiseman Survival Manual", "U.S. Military Survival Manual", "Chinese Special Forces Survival Manual", "Illustrated Survival Manual of the Wild" and so on.
These manuals contain various techniques for how to survive in bad environments, from cooking fires to collecting food, identifying various edible plants and poisonous plants, emergency treatment, selection of shelters, how to deal with various dangers, making ropes and rafts, identifying north and south directions, various distress signals... and so on.
Jiang Hao felt that these skills were very practical. He didn't know what situation he would encounter in the future, so he remembered them all in his mind.
At the same time, he also watched a lot of TV programs about survival in the wild, survival in the wilderness of Beye, survival in Deye's deserted island for 60 days, etc.
As Jiang Hao learns more, the more he can feel the difficulty of survival in the wild.
He felt that it was not enough to have theoretical knowledge alone, and it was very necessary for him to experience it personally. There were also outdoor survival training camps in China, which were all private teams. Jiang Hao searched and called several more to inquire.
There are three-day groups and seven-day groups, with different prices, mainly because the equipment prices are not cheap. In the end, he chose a seven-day group to register.
Jiang Hao came to the gym manager's office again,
"Manager, I want to quit."
When entering the movie world, you need to make sufficient preparations every time, which takes up a lot of time. Before, he stayed in the gym. In addition to making money, the biggest reason was to exercise here. Now his fighting level is the highest in this gym, so there is no need to stay again.
Moreover, the female students were becoming more and more enthusiastic about him. He was really afraid that one day he would not be able to control himself and make a mistake, so he might as well leave as soon as possible.
The manager frowned and looked at Jiang Hao, and said angrily: "You have only been working safely for two months, what do you want to do?"
"I'm going to participate in the wild survival training, and I'm afraid I'll delay the matter here, so I'm going to resign." Jiang Hao said.
What the hell is the outdoor survival training? The manager was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother. If it weren't for the fact that this kid had good conditions and could win over a group of senior customers, the manager really wanted to kick him out.
"Xiao Jiang, you are doing well here, earning 30,000 or 40,000 a month. Where can I find such a high income at your age? Young people should do things safely. Isn't it good to make money well?" the manager advised patiently.
"Manager, that's my dream." Jiang Hao said.
What a bullshit dream.
"The commission for private training courses will add one ingredient to you. It was originally 37, but now 46, which is the treatment of a top coach." The manager gritted his teeth.
"Sorry, manager, I have to go." Jiang Hao said firmly.
......
In this way, Jiang Hao resigned from the gym, put on his backpack and came to a small town in the south. After signing up, he first had a one-day lecture on outdoor survival knowledge. Jiang Hao had basically read all these in the book, and then bought equipment.
From quick-drying clothes to backpacks, to tents, knives, essential medicines, various outdoor foods, etc. Well, I'm afraid this is the biggest source of income for the training camp, and each person basically costs tens of thousands of yuan.
That's not the best.
A group of twelve people took a bus to outside a hilly mountain area. The coach said to everyone: "Each of you has a map in your hand. In this training, our mission is to travel through this hill. During this period, we have to spend seven days in the mountains. Although we all brought emergency food, we try our best to find all the food and water sources for these seven days so that we can experience the fun of survival in the wild."
The team then set off and walked about twenty miles. On the side of a river beach, the coach asked the team to stop. Many people were so tired that they sat down on the ground. The coach said, "This is today's camping site, camping here today."
When everyone heard that they didn't have to leave, many people immediately applauded and applauded.
The coach then said, "It's not that simple. There are several subjects below that you need to complete, build a shelter, make a fire and cook, get clean drinking water, find food, and cook. These need to be done by yourself."
The students were busy all the time. These people were basically urban rookies and had very poor hands-on skills. The so-called "building a shelter" was actually setting up tents. In this way, many people could not even support tents.
If they were asked to log and build a house by themselves, I would probably never think about it in their entire lives.
Finally, with the coach's guidance and help, everyone set up a tent, and then made a fire. The coach called everyone together, "Making fire is the most important skill for survival in the wild. We all know that drilling wood to make fire, which is the most primitive way to make fire. Now I will tell you how to drill wood to make fire."
"There are several ways to make fire by drilling wood. You can drill wood manually, or you can make a fire bow and drill wood..."
"It is very important to make fire objects. It is best to choose something with a little grease, such as dry moss, palm velvet, bamboo shredding, etc. Generally, they are used locally and different things are used in different places..."
There is water in the river next to it, but the water is not clean. The instructor also taught everyone how to filter it and then boil water in an aluminum can: "In the wild, it is best to drink less raw water. No matter how clean it looks, it contains microorganisms and bacteria, which are easy to get sick. The most common one is diarrhea and dysentery. If there is no medicine, diarrhea in the wild is a very dangerous thing."
"What if you have diarrhea and don't have medicine?" Jiang Hao asked.
The instructor looked at Jiang Hao, "Then you need to find a way to treat diarrhea. The wild vegetable sauerkum is a common wild vegetable in the north. Mash it and cook soup, or use garlic to cook porridge, or honey green tea. If there is mountain plum, his leaves will also be very effective in treating diarrhea."
The first day passed, and the next day the team continued to set off.
Suddenly, a woman's scream came from the front, "There is a snake!", and the instructor quickly ran over and drove the snake away with the cane in his hand.
A student saw the snake and said, "It's okay, it's a round-headed snake, only a triangular headed snake is poisonous. This kind of snake must be non-venomous."
The instructor immediately corrected: "The round-headed and triangular head is not a standard for distinguishing toxic and non-toxic. For example, the golden-ring snake and the silver-ring snake are all round-headed, but their toxicity can be fatal in one go. Tell everyone that there are few beasts in the wild now, and the biggest danger in the wild is basically from snakes, so try not to go to places with dense vegetation and places with a lot of weeds. Before leaving, use a cane to push the grass, and the snake will leave."
"If you are bitten by a snake, you must take snake medicine as soon as possible, and then wait for rescue on the spot. Don't move quickly to avoid the accelerated flow of snake venom."
"Instructor, what if you are bitten by a snake and there is no snake medicine?" Jiang Hao asked the question again.
