We make our own furniture and kitchenware, and we also make our own clothes, although at this stage each person has only made one piece of underwear.
But don't forget, the three of them only have one set of waterproof jacket and pants right now. Once winter comes, or even before winter, the autumn temperatures in Alaska will already require them to wear more clothes.
It's summer now, so a windproof jacket is still sufficient.
However, summer in Alaska only lasts for two months. Once August arrives, the temperature starts to drop, and the effectiveness of a waterproof jacket diminishes.
In other words, Ye Zi and her two companions must prepare enough clothing to withstand the harsh Alaskan cold by the end of August.
Even if you don't prepare clothes, you should still prepare materials.
The survival show started in July, and almost a month has passed, leaving Ye Zi and her two companions with little time.
They've only solved the bedding problem now; the materials for making warm clothing will definitely be animal fur, and being in Alaska, they have no other choice.
The only animal pelts left in the camp were a few rabbit skins, enough to make a few pairs of gloves or hats, but what they needed were clothes.
This will greatly increase the demand for fur.
While making the furniture, the three of them also made some preliminary plans for the future.
"After the camp is secured, I need to go hunting."
The yellow whale nodded, then said:
What are your plans?
Ye Zi turned her attention to some of the larger animals in the area, starting with brown bears and moose, and frankly said:
Brown bears and moose.
Er Ya hesitated, saying:
"I did some research before I came here. The Alaskan brown bear is the largest of the species, standing 2.5 meters tall and weighing up to 800 kilograms."
A bear's paw can strike with a force of about one ton, and its bite force is not much different.
It's far more dangerous than a black bear; if circumstances allow, I don't want you to take the risk.
Ye Zi smiled indifferently:
"If we want to win, we must survive long enough, and to survive in this place, food and warmth are of paramount importance."
Rabbit fur has poor insulation properties and is in high demand, not enough for the three of us to make warm clothing, so dealing with brown bears was inevitable.
But it wasn't us, it was myself.
"Old Huang, you'll need to stay behind to protect the camp and Er Ya."
"What? I disagree." Er Ya and Huang Jingyu said at the same time, but their feelings were different.
Huang Jingyu felt that he was indeed not as good as Ye Zi in close combat, but the power of his bow and arrow should not be underestimated. Moreover, the two of them could help each other if they encountered danger while traveling together.
Er Ya felt that Ye Zi's decision to leave Huang Jingyu, a powerful fighter, at the camp while she went out alone, was actually to protect Ye Zi, since she had no fighting ability.
She left behind the yellow whale as a helper to protect her, but put herself in danger.
Ye Zi understood their concerns and smiled:
"Although the surrounding area has been mostly cleared, there is no guarantee that wild animals will not roam around and invade the camp, so it is very necessary to leave people to protect the camp."
And neither of you stayed at the camp.
Go fishing at the beach and collect some edible plants nearby. We can't just eat meat all the time, or we'll be forced to quit the competition due to malnutrition.
Also, you know how strong I am; supporting such a great amount of strength requires excellent physical fitness.
Hunting trips aren't something you can return from in a day or two; only someone with my physical abilities can survive in such a wilderness.
So, Lao Huang, you'll have to stay and look after the camp.
The viewers in the live stream only knew that Ye Zi was strong and had good hearing.
But no one had ever seen firsthand how strong the leaf was, whereas Huang Jingyu and Er Ya, who spent every day with it, had witnessed it.
Ye Zi also knew that this environment was no challenge for the two of them, so it was okay to reveal some of their trump cards.
Moreover, each of the three drones had its own subject to film. Ye Zi excused herself to go to the toilet and easily lifted the boulder that was half-covering the spring in front of the two of them.
They had seen comments on the live stream before they arrived about the weight of that boulder; it was at least a ton.
To avoid being too shocking, the boulder remained unmoved.
This is why the spring is always partially covered by rocks, and the camp's water is drawn from a reservoir or a pool of water that emerges from the spring.
Although Ye Zi's words may have been disparaging of the yellow whale, they were true.
They only had a bow and arrow as their weapon. Although the yellow whale was physically strong, it was not a professional hunter. If it were a professional hunter, it would not have been a problem to deal with the moose with just a hunting bow.
Not only are they not professional hunters, but they also lack experience in life-or-death battles. Compared to those retired military personnel who are wilderness bloggers, they are far inferior.
Moreover, such bloggers are not only accompanied by photographers, but also by security personnel who are always ready to eliminate any dangers beyond human control.
They now only have bows and arrows, and their ability to protect themselves against large animals is almost zero.
Of course, this is without taking Leaf's combat power into account. If Leaf's combat power is included, then not only would self-defense be no problem, but counter-killing would be no problem either.
A punch weighing nearly five tons is enough to overwhelm even a brown bear; that's a fact, an unbelievable fact.
Yellow Whale's expression was complex, with resentment and helplessness being particularly evident, while Er Ya looked worried.
Ye Zi, of course, understood the meaning behind their expressions.
The yellow whale's most prized skill turned out to be just so-so in the wilderness, even somewhat unremarkable, but it had to admit it.
At the same time, I felt a little resentful because I couldn't help.
Although Er Ya knew roughly what Ye Zi's abilities were, she still couldn't help but worry, which just goes to show that girls are more emotional.
Ye Zi comforted him:
“Old Huang, you don’t need to do this. When you come hunting with me, Er Ya can’t do anything in the camp, and she can’t even leave the camp.”
Don't forget that our bedding is made of wolf skin, which means there are wolves nearby.
We two don't need to worry about wolf attacks, but Arya can't. Without proper tools, I don't need to tell you what will happen.
Yellow Whale shuddered. Leaving Er Ya alone was really not an option; it was too dangerous.
Taking her on a hunting trip is also not an option, because the conditions in the wild are far worse than at the camp, and she would only hold Leaf back.
He nodded solemnly and said:
"Understood. I will definitely protect the camp and Er Ya while you are out hunting."
After finishing her persuasive talk with the yellow whale, Ye Zi turned to Er Ya and continued:
"Next comes the most important part, Er Ya. You've mentioned more than once that you want to check if there are any edible plants nearby."
Old Huang is quite familiar with the area. He went hunting a few days ago and wandered around the neighborhood. These few days I'm away are your gathering season.
I can eat meat every day without any problem, but I'm worried you won't be used to it.
