After all the contestants entered the venue, the program's host briefly introduced the rules and then selected some survival tools.
According to regulations, each person can only choose four survival tools.
This caused many new players to complain bitterly, but for Chen Fan and Bell, four tools were already quite good.
Chen Fan's choice was very, very simple: first, a double-handled iron pot, which is essential for cooking food.
Eating grilled meat all the time can quickly become tiresome, and more importantly, without broth, the meat loses a lot of its nutrients.
This could lead to a severe deficiency in the body's nutritional intake.
Secondly, there's a bow and arrow, which is also very important to him because Chen Fan's archery skills are now incredibly impressive.
With a bow and arrow in hand, you can easily take down even the largest animals.
Besides these two tools, a machete is also very, very important.
Because knives are extremely important, not only for building shelters but also for killing prey.
For the final tool, Chen Fan chose an axe.
Because in regions like the Arctic, the only large trees are spruce trees, and spruce trees have very hard wood, so spruce trees are essential for building shelters.
Without an axe, a machete simply cannot build a sturdy shelter.
With the addition of an axe, building a shelter will become much easier, and the speed will increase significantly.
Of course, some contestants also chose to use tarpaulins, because they certainly couldn't build shelters when they first arrived on the island.
Therefore, the rainproof cloth plays a very important role in keeping warm in the first few nights, which is why many athletes choose rainproof cloth.
Some contestants also chose wire because there are many small animals in the Arctic, and wire can be used to weave many wire traps to capture them.
For example, animals like squirrels, Arctic hares, and grouse.
Some participants also opted for fishing gear. There are many freshwater lakes and seas in the Arctic, and the seas are not completely frozen at this time of year, so these fishing tools can also be used to achieve protein freedom.
But the prerequisite, of course, is having sufficient fishing skills.
After the survival tools were selected, the program team also required all contestants to sign an accident liability waiver.
The meaning is clear: if an accident or even death occurs during the competition, the production team will not bear any consequences.
All the contestants signed without any hesitation.
After all, they had some prior knowledge of the area before coming here, so they had made preparations accordingly.
After signing, each participant can also receive a down jacket.
After all, it's impossible to survive in the Arctic without a warm down jacket.
Then there was a satellite distress phone and some antibiotics.
Once these items are used, the contestants will be considered to have voluntarily given up the challenge, and the show's lifeguards will then take them away.
"Hey, Chen Fan, it's nice to meet you."
"I didn't expect you to be even younger than you appear in the live stream. I never imagined that someone so young could possess such formidable wilderness survival skills."
Just then, Bear Grylls suddenly ran up to Chen Fan and greeted him with a smile.
Bell had previously learned about Chen Fan.
"Oh, it's Bear Grylls! My survival skills are just for fun, how can I compare to you big shots at the top of the food chain?"
“You and Ed are the real survival experts at the top of the food chain. We’re just small fry.”
Chen Fan responded very modestly.
"Chen Fan, don't be so modest. Bell and I have studied your survival videos before. Your physical fitness, survival skills, and even other aspects are in no way inferior to ours."
"Actually, the main reason you were able to participate in this wilderness survival show is because Bear Grylls and I suggested it to the production team," Ed said with a smile as he ran over.
"Hmm? You suggested that? Why is that?"
“Since you acknowledge my strong survival skills, you should know that I am a formidable competitor. Without my participation, you would be more likely to win the final reward,” Chen Fan said with some doubt.
To be honest, he really didn't take Bell and Ed seriously.
If I participate in this wilderness survival show, then the two of them will absolutely have no chance of winning.
I wonder why these two would invite me under these circumstances?
I don't know if they were too confident, or if they had other ideas.
"Haha! You're absolutely right, Yi is a very strong competitor for both of us."
“We may not be able to last as long as you, but we enjoy competing against top players like you because we feel a greater sense of accomplishment when we win.”
At this moment, Bell said with a smile.
Although that's what they said, they clearly had a lot of confidence in their survival skills.
"So all experts have such bizarre ideas?"
"Since you consider me a formidable opponent, it seems I cannot let you down," Chen Fan said with a smile.
...
After chatting briefly for a while, the group returned to their respective rooms.
The next morning at six o'clock, all the contestants arrived at the buffet restaurant on the second floor on time for lunch.
After breakfast, the production team organized all the contestants to head to their survival destination.
The destination is a small island in Greenland called Malegbi Island.
This island is also very vast, so even if you put two hundred contestants on the island, they would never have a chance to meet.
Chen Fan is contestant number three. The first place winner is Bell, and the second place winner is Ed.
It's unclear whether this was intentionally set up by the production team or a random decision.
Buzz! !
With the roar of the helicopter, Chen Fan was getting closer and closer to his destination for survival.
At the same time, all the players' live streams were also launched simultaneously.
On the shark platform in the Dragon Kingdom.
In the "Arctic Survival" column, Chen Fan was also featured prominently in the third live broadcast room.
Chen Fan, the previous season's wilderness survival champion, is China's youngest and most outstanding wilderness survival expert...
While the description may seem exaggerated, it must be said that these are indeed facts.
After all, Chen Fan had already won the championship in the previous season of Man vs. Wild.
Moreover, his current survival skills can indeed be considered the best survival expert in the Dragon Kingdom.
