30 days of wilderness survival

Old hunters know that setting traps is much more effective than chasing prey against most small animals in the wild.

Each animal has its own unique habits, and the wild boar is an ordinary, yet unpredictable animal.

Wild boars usually do not come out and move around during the day, and generally forage in the morning and at dusk, and enter the dense forest at noon to avoid the sun.

Wild boars are mostly active in groups, but it is common to bathe in groups of four to ten and prefer to bathe in muddy water.

The boar will spend a lot of time on tree stumps, rocks, and hard river banks, rubbing the sides of its body, so that the skin is ground into a hard protective layer that can avoid serious injuries during the fight in heat.

Wild boars eat a lot of food, as long as they can eat anything, grass and soil worms are their feeding objects, and sometimes they steal bird eggs.

Although nests are generally well hidden, wild boars have a good sense of smell and can smell the location of the nest, and once it finds the nest, the boar will slam its body against the tree until it knocks the nest down.

In addition to this, wild boars are also good at preying on hares, rats, etc., and can also hunt scorpions and snakes.

A careful study of the animal's physical characteristics and habits can avoid many mistakes, and the choice of bait and setting site is crucial.

When he was digging the pit before, Qin Feng dug up a lot of worms, and those worms were all thrown into the pit in the end, and they were not wasted at all.

There are four rules to follow when setting a trap, and violating any of them will render the trap ineffective.

The first thing to do is not to destroy the original environment, do not step on the footprints left by the prey, and all preparations should be done away from the animal's walking routes, leaving as little trace as possible.

Then there's the covert tracking, where traps are constructed and handled so that they don't leave obvious human traces around them – such as footprints, animals often have a much more sensitive sense of smell than humans.

Although animals are afraid of fire, they are generally familiar with the smell of smoke, and smoking the trap with smoke can mask the smell of people.

Under the guidance of "Master of Traps", Qin Feng perfectly solved the two major problems of footprint and smell, and the next thing to do was to skillfully camouflage and keep the trap strong and effective.

Traps are set up to look abrupt if not disguised, and must be disguised to blend in with their surroundings.

It is not uncommon to see islands affected by monsoons all year round, and the jungle is full of scattered tree branches.

Covering the trap with those scattered branches is undoubtedly the best camouflage and does not arouse the suspicion of the prey in the slightest.

Prey that has fallen into the trap will struggle desperately, and in order to escape, they will burst out with great strength and potential, and if the trap itself is flawed, it will inevitably lead to failure.

In fact, it was precisely because of this in mind that Qin Feng did not use the simplest rope trap, which was only suitable for catching small prey such as hares and foxes.

Wooden burrow traps are especially useful for hunting wild boars and deer, but they are also a great threat to people themselves, and if you accidentally fall into them, the consequences can be unimaginable.

For the sake of safety, Qin Feng carved arrow marks on the trees next to the trap, so as not to let others accidentally fall into the trap.

At the same time, Xiao Zhan, who was in charge of transporting soil, was really tired after running back and forth a few times.

"No, I'm dying of exhaustion, I need to rest for a while. "

After saying this, Xiao Zhan sat on the high mound.

At the same time, seeing Xiao Zhan sitting down to rest, Lu Han, who was in charge of sharpening the wooden thorn, also put down the half-cut wooden thorn in his hand.

"I got sour trying to cut these things. Lu Han shook his hand and said.

"You two are tired, I didn't cry tired after digging the pit for so long. "

Seeing the two of them sitting down to rest, Qin Feng walked towards them and said at the same time.

"It's been a long time since I've done manual work, so I'm not used to it. Xiao Zhan raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I didn't feel tired, but my hands were a little sore, and the thorns were so troublesome to sharpen. Lu Han said frankly.

"What's the trouble with this, you come over a little bit, and see how I cut it, and you will cut it later. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Feng took out the knife and picked up a branch to sharpen it on Lu Han's face.

"The first thing to do is to cut off the excess branches, leaving only the main trunk, then make a slash at an angle from the bottom up, then use the same force on the other side, and finally make a simple trim around the tip and you're done. "

Looking at Qin Feng's approach, Lu Han realized how stupid his previous approach was, which was time-consuming and laborious.

"These wooden thorns you cut are indeed quite sharp, but you have made too much ink like this, and by the time you finish sharpening, it will probably be dark, and you can sharpen it much faster than I just did. "

After briefly inspecting the wooden thorns that Lu Han had sharpened, Qin Feng spoke.

It gets dark very quickly on the island, and it starts to get dark at five o'clock, and at that time the wild boars will come out to feed, and if you don't set the trap quickly, you will be bumped into by the wild boars at that time.

Encountering wild boars in the wild is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing, wild boars are very strong in combat, and their running speed is also very strong.

As the saying goes, one pig, two bears and three tigers refer to the threat level of the three animals to people, among which the wild boar is the highest.

Wild boars are far more numerous than bears and tigers, and wild boars never act alone when they come out, but come in groups, so wild boars hurt people far more often than bears and tigers.

Seeing that there was still a lot of soil left to be transported, Qin Feng took off the robe on his body and threw it to Xiao Zhan.

"What are you doing here, there are so many mosquitoes here, hurry up and put them on!".

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan hurriedly said, stood up at the same time, and handed the robe towards Qin Feng.

"You zip it up, tie it tightly with rattan, tie it in a knot, and you can use it to carry dirt. Qin Feng waved his hand and explained.
