Desert Island Survival Diary

Chapter 116 No.70 Seven Days, The Trap

I thought about it all night yesterday, and I don't know whether these traps are useful. There is really no better way for wild boars.But you can only try it first.

While making traps, you have to be careful not to let Xiao Hei touch them. If those traps are too easy to trigger, it is very likely that Xiao Hei will be injured by mistake.

This kind of ending is not what I want to see. The trap is also to prevent wild animals from entering the yard, that's all.It's not just for hunting. Of course, if you can hunt for food, that's even better.

The first method that came to mind was the basic method of making traps, which even children knew, just digging holes and laying branches and leaves, but this method was quickly rejected.

Digging a pit is not difficult, but digging a pit that can accommodate wild boars or large predators and prevent them from getting out is more than a matter of effort.

If you really want to dig such a big hole, with a knife or an ax in your hand, if you don't have more than two days, it's just a dream to dig it out.

It took more than half a day to bury the holes for the tree trunks and pillars of these walls, and they are only a few tens of centimeters deep.Even if it is dug to a depth of more than one meter, maybe the wild boar can easily jump out.

But this method doesn’t work, so we have to start the second plan. The key to this plan is that the required materials are not too much, and the process is more convenient and not very troublesome.The disadvantage is that this method has only been used by others, but I have never tried it myself, and whether it is useful for wild boars, you have to try it to know.

Go back to the tree house and take out the cable, there are still a lot of cables left, this trap is not impossible without cables, if you use vines, it will be useless at all.

After gesturing on the side of the big tree, I started to try to make it, but the problem appeared immediately.The cable probably wasn't enough, so I brought another tree trunk from the yard, which was actually bamboo, but I didn't have one.So find a replacement first.

A substitute was soon found, the trunk of a small tree, although it could not be hollowed out like bamboo.But its role is also limited to preventing the bite of entrapped prey.Regardless of whether wild boars or other large animals, once bitten desperately, the cable may not be able to withstand it.This tree trunk was found just to be safe.

The next step is the key to the trap. The cable is relatively long, so most of it was entangled in the big tree by me, leaving only about two meters in length.Use an ax to cut the trunk into a length of about 1.5 meters, which is the thickest part of the small tree.

Then use vines to tie this small trunk of about 1.5 meters firmly to the big tree. Of course, if only one end is tied, the other end will definitely fall.But the other end was supported by a thin piece I cut off from a small tree trunk.

After fixing this small tree trunk, the next step began. One end of the cable has been firmly tied to the big tree, and the other end has been tied by me!Then the cable was wrapped around the small trunk of about 1.5 meters, and the loop was hung on the front end of the small trunk.

This small tree trunk is about one meter above the ground, and a live button with a diameter of only [-] centimeters hangs at the front end of the trunk. This live button is off the ground, which is also the most critical.

The function of this live buckle is to trap the neck of wild boar or other large animals.Once they struggle harder, the loose buckle will be tightened. After breaking free, they will definitely try to bite the cable, and the function of the small tree trunk is to prevent them from directly biting the cable.

After looking back and forth, I made a simulation with my hands. It is really easy to use, and it is almost exactly the same as I imagined.As long as there are large animals stepping in, what awaits them is likely to be a disaster.

The position of this trap was arranged at the place where it was broken through the night before.There is also a reason for putting it here, because there is a forest directly in front of this location, and most importantly, there is a trail in the forest, which is obviously caused by frequent trampling.

This trail is likely to be a foraging trail for wild boars or other animals. Of course, I don't want to provoke them for no reason, so I didn't put bait.But in order to prevent this trap from failing, or to prevent the coming beasts from running around, I also specially used branches to insert a path on the ground.

The branches spread out in a fan shape beside the trap, and the branches I chose were all more than [-] centimeters in length, so that once a beast walked into this fan shape, it would have no other way to go but go in the direction of the trap.

Unless in extreme cases, they will go around here, or directly damage the inserted branches and leave.But this situation should be very small, and no normal animal will make this decision without encountering or sensing a threat.

The first trap is finally ready.Next, the second and third traps were made...

At noon, the venomous sunlight forced me to stop, and I made five traps in total, only the first one was for large animals, and the others could only be used as warnings to scare away animals trying to come in .

The weather was hot and busy all morning, so I had no appetite.So I cooked a pot of porridge with the rice that had been sun-dried before, sprinkled some white sugar casually, and after feeling a little sweet, I drank it.Xiao Hei may not like to eat very much. Although he is eating, he is eating very slowly, unlike his previous style.

After I was full, I was about to sleep for a while to rest, only to remember that I had forgotten about Little Lightning... After hurriedly ordering a bottle of honey water for the hungry little guy crawling around, it finally stopped and quietly Lie down in Xiao Hei's nest.

Taking a nap is a good way to save energy. Recently, due to fatigue and worry, I haven't slept well for several nights.So after lying down for a long time, I fell asleep.

……

I woke up again because of the thunder. I didn't feel how much time I slept, but I was woken up by the thunder.

"Is it going to rain again?" After sitting up in shock, he rushed out the door.

On the sea in the distance, dark clouds piled up very thick, and the sun that was still vicious before has long since disappeared!The sky above has become gray, although the clouds are not very thick, and there is even light shining through.

But there must be a torrential rain on the sea in the distance. It can be seen from the lightning in the dark clouds. The lightning above the head is also flashing, followed by the sound of thunder.

Rain, that is also a very helpless thing, and I am used to it. Before the rain came down, I quickly took all the things that were drying outside to the tree house, including those dried branches and vines. ,Leaves.

Just as I was finishing packing up, a blinding flash of lightning appeared in front of my eyes, and my eyes hurt a bit from being pierced.With a bang, lightning seemed to fall in the woods not far away.It was probably the sound of trees falling.

Thinking of this, I was so scared that I ran back to the hut...
