30 days of wilderness survival

"This is the oil tanning method, Qin Feng wants to use the oil tanning method!"

"Oil tanning? What kind of method is that?"

"To develop good habits, if you don't understand, ask Baidu, and you will know Baidu. "

"I'm too lazy to go to Baidu, which god comes out to popularize science. "

"Oil tanning is a method used by people in ancient times, and it is a very ancient method of dealing with fur. "

In the live broadcast room, the audience had a heated discussion.

In ancient times, early humans basically lived a life of drinking blood and eating flesh and skin.

And when they realize that animal fur has the effect of keeping them warm, they drape it on their bodies or cover them.

Later, in order to make it easier to drape the cover, they tried countless times, and finally found that the fat and brain pulp of animals have the effect of softening animal fur.

Therefore, they will hunt or die of natural animals, use stone axes, stone shovels, stone knives and other stone tools they made, peel off the hides, spread them out, and then apply animal fats, brains, lipids, etc., to the leather plates.

Then vigorously and repeatedly hammer and rub to make the skin softer.

When the shark oil in the pot was heated up, Qin Feng scooped some hot oil from a clay bowl and poured it on a rabbit skin that had been spread out on the leaves.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Feng picked up a thick wooden stick and began to beat, spinning the rabbit skin back and forth as he struck, ensuring that every place was hit.

It was like a rural woman washing clothes on a riverbank, and although it was very difficult, it was enjoyable.

As Qin Feng continued to beat, Xiao Zhan gradually found that the originally hard rabbit skin had really softened a lot.

Everyone has a more or less curious mentality, simply put, they want to do things they haven't done before, they want to explore what they haven't done, and they have a particularly strong curiosity.

Xiao Zhan stepped forward and said, "You should be tired, let me come, I'm the best at this kind of physical work." "

Qin Feng smiled, handed the wooden stick in his hand to Xiao Zhan, stepped aside, and let Xiao Zhan play freely.

Oil tanning is a very physically demanding method that requires repeated operations over and over again to ensure that the rabbit skin becomes soft enough.

At first, Xiao Zhan was still beating the rabbit skin with curiosity, but it didn't take long for the curiosity and enthusiasm to fade away, replaced by boredom and tedium.

Xiao Zhan felt like an emotionless beating machine, completely numb.

In fact, Qin Feng had long expected that it would become like this, many people did things on their whims, and once the novelty passed, they had no interest.

"Alright, let me do it. "

As he spoke, Qin Feng grabbed Xiao Zhan's and took away the wooden stick in his hand.

Xiao Zhan felt like he had just woken up, his mind was muddy, and it wasn't until a long time later that he completely retracted his thoughts.

When he came back to his senses, Qin Feng was already dealing with the second rabbit skin, and it was still the same method.

At this time, the viewers who watched the live broadcast said that they were almost sleepy.

"Tanning fur is too time-consuming, and I want to sleep. "

"I yawned several times in a row, and I almost fell asleep. "

"I thought it was very interesting, but I didn't think it was all repetitive operations. "

"Now I really want to listen to Qin Feng tell a joke, it would be nice to tell a joke at this time. "

"Now he's busy dealing with rabbit skins, so he doesn't have any time to tell jokes. "

Rather than watching Qin Feng deal with rabbit skin, the audience prefers to listen to Qin Feng tell jokes, because the process of processing rabbit skin is too boring.

Before I knew it, two hours had passed, except for a few sips of water in the middle, and I went out to the toilet, and the rest of the time was beating the rabbit skins, and then all the eight rabbit skins were tanned.

The tanned rabbit skin looks completely different from the dry and numb appearance it used to be, and it is very soft just by looking at it with the naked eye.

Xiao Zhan stretched, yawned and said, "Is this usable?"

"It can be, but it can still be processed. "

Qin Feng didn't want to settle like this, since he had done it, he had to do his best.

In the long practice of life, ancient humans also discovered another method of softening animal fur, namely smoking.

Qin Feng placed the eight rabbit skins with oil tanning method on the edge of the smokeless stove in turn, and used the smoke generated to smoke and roast them, so that the rabbit skins continued to soften.

This process requires full attention and caution, and a little carelessness will lead to fire.

After some smoking, Qin Feng took down the eight rabbit skins and got some plant ash from the smokeless stove.

After smearing the plant ash on the rabbit skin Zhou, Qin Feng hung the eight rabbit skins back on the drying rack on the side, waiting for them to dry naturally.

In the process of waiting for the rabbit skin to dry naturally, Qin Feng was not idle, just vacating the time to clean up the mess all over the ground.

There is still a lot of shark oil left in the pot, but it can no longer be used for consumption due to the large amount of impurities in it.

Qin Feng thought of using those shark oils to make torches.

The so-called torches used earlier are, to put it bluntly, a branch that burns a little brighter, and although it can also be used for lighting, it has a very serious problem, that is, it cannot be burned.

When I go out at night, what I am most afraid of is when it is dark all around, and when I go out with such a torch, I have some scruples in my heart, I am afraid that the fire will suddenly go out.

It's also time to make some decent torches.

However, in addition to the use of accelerants, cloth strips are also needed to make torches.

In the wilderness, apart from the clothes on his body, there are no strips of cloth to be found at all.

Qin Feng didn't think much about it, he took off his coat directly, and then took off the short sleeves inside.

Seeing Qin Feng undressing in public, Xiao Zhan and Lu Han didn't react, after all, everyone is a man, and there is nothing to look at, but Di Lieba and Zhao Liying blushed with shame, and complained in their hearts that Qin Feng didn't say hello before undressing. _
