Wilderness Challenge for Live Broadcast

Chen Xu looked at the crown of the big tree, adjusted the angle, and then continued to chop with the machete.

With the last knife down, the entire trunk was left with 100% of the connections, and finally it couldn't bear the weight and broke.

In the next second, just as Xu Ye said, the balsa wood did not fall in the direction of the cut, but fell along the place where the crown was thick and there were many branches.

It hit the ground with a boom.

Then, Chen Xu came to the crown of the balsa tree and cut off all the extra branches with a machete.

Only then did the audience understand why Lord Xu chose to carry a machete instead of a dagger.

Indeed, the chopping performance of this thing is much better than that of a dagger.

After cutting off all the branches, Chen Xu chuckled, Next, I will personally prove how light balsa wood is!

After speaking, he packed up his things, put on his backpack, and came to the middle of the balsa tree trunk.

This is not too big compared to the size of balsa wood in the jungle, but it is at least twelve or three meters long and more than 70 centimeters wide.

Chen Xu clasped his hands together and let out a low growl.

The next moment, an astonishing scene appeared, a huge balsa tree trunk was actually lifted up from the middle by him!

Diao Hang Hang, is it really light? Or is Master Xu himself stronger?

Looking at the way Master Xu is resisting the tree trunk, it looks like Monkey King pulling out the Poseidon needle in Journey to the West!

Wu Xu: I want it, what is the use of this iron rod?

After being carried to the open space on the shore, Chen Xu didn't even catch his breath:

Don't be so surprised, let alone me, this balsa wood more than 10 meters long, even a housewife can lift it!

Then, he began to use a machete to peel off a little bark, and then tore off the whole tree one by one like peeling snake skin.

The balsa wood whose bark is torn off, the wood inside is light yellow and white, looks very nice.

Chen Xu used the machete again to cut the entire balsa trunk into five knots according to the distance of more than two meters per knot.

Since we are going on a water journey of nearly four days and a length of about 250 kilometers, this raft must be made very strong.

After all, the water system in Central America is not like other continents. There are piranhas, crocodiles, and the overlord of the water, the anaconda!

Once the raft suddenly disintegrated halfway and I stumbled and fell into the deep water, then everyone can easily think of the result.

The density of balsa wood is very low, light in weight, large in size and very good in drainage. That is to say, I don't have to worry about it sinking after soaking in water for a long time. I just need to think about how to fix them!

After explaining to the camera, Chen Xu returned to the jungle and began to search for these medium-height bushes.

Five minutes later, he came to a bush.

When I used to make rafts, I always used vines to fix them, but this time, I decided to add an ancient Chinese fixing method, riveting!

Riveting, as the name suggests, is to use rivets to drill holes to fix objects; because the hardness of balsa wood is very soft, I am going to use this shrub to make a horizontal bar, stick it into the balsa wood, and then use it to cut out a few wooden nails to In a criss-cross fashion, fix the crossbar.

In this way, with the connection of vines and the fixing of long rivets, the overall structure of the raft will be very strong!

So, he used a machete to look at four or five of the thickest and hardest shrub branches.

After bringing them to the shore, Chen Xu cut off the leaves and uneven parts of two of them, and peeled off the bark.

Then, he arranged the five pieces of balsa wood in parallel, and cut a row of continuous grooves with a knife near the head and tail.

And these two grooves can just fit the stick into it.

As for the few remaining branches, they were cut into twenty short sticks by Chen Xu, and then each end was sharpened to make wooden rivets.

Next, according to what he just said, he found a big stone by the river,

The rivets were smashed into the balsa wood, crossing each other two by two, just stuck tightly to the crossbar that fixed the balsa wood.

In the end, he found two long vines that were as thick as fingers, and wrapped the two ends of the crossbars that fixed the raft around two more times, and tied them with a knot.

Because the balsa wood is very light, Chen Xu directly grabbed the raft and pulled it up, and shook it vigorously in the air.

As a result, there was no sound of any activity.

It seems that the fixation is not bad, there should be no problem!

He directly threw the backpack and the kindling at the stern of the boat, tied them with vines, and found a three-meter-long shrub branch from the jungle as a water slurry to control the direction.

Okay, now let's sail!

Chen Xu pushed the raft to the edge of the river with a little excitement, walked up lightly, and finally pushed the ground with water slurry. With this counter-thrust, he still slowly moved towards the river.

Crash!

After the raft was completely in the river, there were a few waves.

The yellow water covered half the thickness of the raft, then stopped, and except for a few occasional splashes, the whole surface remained mostly dry.

The boat of friendship is about to set off!

Master Xu: I once crossed mountains, seas, and crowds, and finally sank!

Wait for Grandpa Xu to be submerged in water, I'm at a loss!

Everyone, don't curse Master Xu, if it really sinks, those vicious piranhas in the water are no joke!

It took Chen Xu more than an hour to make the whole raft.

But judging from the current drifting speed, all the expenses are worth it.

Although the flow speed of this section of the river is not fast, Chen Xu conservatively estimated that it should reach at least 12-3 kilometers per hour.

This is three or four times faster than walking in the jungle!

After a while, the river ahead suddenly forked.

While traveling by water is fast, it is easy to get lost without knowing it, especially in the American tropical rainforest, which has abundant rainfall and numerous rivers, which are intricate and maze-like, just like the scene before you.

So when we are paddling, we must pay more attention to the terrain on both sides of the bank and the sun in the sky, which can help us better identify the direction.

After explaining, Chen Xu looked at the sun in the sky, then glanced at the shadow cast by one of the trees on the river bank, and then chose to draw from the left fork.

At noon, the temperature is getting hotter and hotter.

Especially since he was still on the river, exposed directly to the sun without shelter, the entire back of his neck was roasted red.

This is already a precursor to sunburn.

Chen Xu wiped off his sweat, grinned, It's too hot, let's go to the rainforest to take shelter and leave at two o'clock in the afternoon.
