Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness

[From the first sprouting of life under water…to the gigantic beasts of the Stone Age…to the first time humans walked upright, you have witnessed much. Now, embark upon your greatest exploration yet: from the cradle of early civilizations to the vastness of the cosmos.]

[Ahem, brother, you’re on the wrong stage. Civilization players, please turn right and head out the door to start today’s battle!]

[Is this skipping the Bronze Age and going straight into the Iron Age?]

Netizens in the live stream room were in a heated discussion, without a doubt, all stunned by Bi Fang’s bold plan.

How could a person, alone in the wild, forage for iron and craft handy iron weapons?

Before, Zhou Weisheng only knew that Bi Fang intended to survive in the primitive way, but he never imagined there was another equally unbelievable goal.

However, unlike the shocked audience, as the director of the reserve, Zhou Weisheng was well aware that the rainforest was not lacking in iron; obtaining a small amount of iron was not difficult.

But to turn it into a usable weapon?

That seemed incredible. At least Zhou Weisheng couldn’t imagine how, without any external assistance, how to gather those pitifully few iron elements and refine them into a weapon?

A furnace would at least be needed, right? Not only a furnace, but also charcoal fire, and grinding tools had to be crafted as well.

If it wasn’t for casting, it would be even more troublesome.

It’s baffling, truly baffling.

Zhou Weisheng shook his head, the more he thought about it, the more he realized the complexity of the process, the difficulty of it, not to mention compressing the whole process into twenty days—it seemed utterly impossible.

The audience’s reaction was expected by Bi Fang. If it wasn’t for the orange Wilderness Traveler badge, even he himself might not believe it could be done with only the purple Wilderness Survivalist badge.

However, there was no need to say more. Actions speak louder than words.

If no one believed it, then he would just show it to everyone.

Bi Fang looked around, his eyes scanning every plant as he walked slowly past them.

The place Zhou Weisheng chose was very secluded; seldom did people pass by. The wooden house was usually occupied by staff, but since the area had changed, even staff rarely visited.

Because Bi Fang needed it, Zhou Weisheng had someone clean it up briefly to serve as a dressing room.

The helicopter nearby was also ready to go. At this moment, there were as many as eight people present, all watching Bi Fang without blinking, curious about what he was about to do.

Finally, Bi Fang stopped in front of a plant: “Since I’m going to partake in real primitive survival, I obviously cannot go wearing just shorts. Not only is it unseemly, but it would also make me quite embarrassed. Therefore, before I set off, I need to weave myself a grass skirt.”

It was precisely to show the audience the whole process of weaving a grass skirt that Bi Fang did not start broadcasting immediately after the helicopter took off. Had it been before, he would already be jumping out of the helicopter by now.

Bi Fang pointed to the plant in front of him and turned his head to Director Zhou: “Director Zhou, may I pluck some of its leaves?”

“Of course, you can. The Pandanus is an economic crop; it wouldn’t matter even if you stripped it bare,” Director Zhou said indifferently.

The plant in front of Bi Fang was a Pandanus, common in rainforest areas, most often seen as a shrub or small tree. Due to its high value and aesthetic appeal, it is frequently cultivated as a hedge.

This row of plants was used by the reserve as a natural protective barrier.

And as an economic crop, it was cultivated by humans for use, so taking a few leaves was not a problem at all.

“In the wilderness, when looking to create garments to cover oneself, the top choice is a plant rich in fibers. And to ensure comfort, it needs to be sufficiently soft. Otherwise, if it’s too close to the body, the harsh friction can easily injure the skin, causing blisters.” ℝᴀℕƟꞖÈṡ

Having received Director Zhou’s permission, Bi Fang didn’t hesitate and began plucking leaves from the Pandanus.

The leaves of the Pandanus were thick, each over a meter long. A single Pandanus could bear dozens of leaves, each spreading out like an aloe leaf. Unlike aloe, whose interior is full of gel, the inside of a Pandanus leaf was soft, elongated fibers.

“Therefore, the fiber of the Pandanus can be used to weave mats, hats, and other crafts. If you have friends from Yunnan, Fujian, Hainan, and other places, you might have seen them before. However, such artifacts are now rare. One thing to note is that the edges of the Pandanus leaves have small spines, which we need to remove to avoid hand injuries.”

Tearing off a long leaf, Bi Fang used his fingernail to scrape around the edge of the leaf, tearing off the entire green skin to reveal the greenish-white flesh of the leaf.

Bi Fang pinched in front of the drone’s camera, and the audience could clearly see the leaf flesh quickly bouncing back, revealing that it was filled with soft plant fibers.

A whole grass skirt definitely couldn’t be made from just one leaf, but Bi Fang didn’t grab a whole Pandanus tree and pull with all his might either. One would be enough, but that could easily strip it bare.

So Bi Fang plucked around a dozen, finally gathering enough for a grass skirt. Then, on the ground, he casually pulled out a branch—soft yet tough—and simply threaded it through the leaf flesh, weaving it into a sturdy grass skirt.

The rainforest was good for this, with countless varieties of vines and plants; walk a couple of steps and you’d come across suitable materials.

“Making a grass skirt isn’t as hard as you think. You just need to find the right soft materials, and then use a sufficiently strong and slender vine to thread them together,” Bi Fang explained.

“If you want it to be more secure and the leaves less likely to fall off, you can tear the leaf flesh into several thin fibers at the end you’ve threaded through, twist them into a rope, and tie a knot. It’s more troublesome, but also more durable.”

In less than ten minutes, a brand-new grass skirt appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Three drones filmed from different angles, seamlessly transitioning shots like a master’s technique, capturing every facet of the grass skirt.

Bi Fang tried it on and it fit just right. Thanks to the leaves being long enough, they fell down to his knees.

Bi Fang took a few steps, and the skirt was both attractive and sturdy—a very practical grass skirt.

[Manual dexterity max!]

[The show hasn’t even officially started, and I’m already looking forward to it. What should I do?]

[Is there something wrong with me for wanting to see a man in a grass skirt? Need advice, quite urgent.]

[I want to see it too, lick.jpg]

[This is brilliant. I often see this plant by the road and never thought it could be turned into clothing.]

[Huh? Did Old Fang’s drones increase by two? Do the angles seem more numerous? Or is it another collaboration with the Discovery Channel?]

“The benefits of the Pandanus tree don’t stop there. Its young shoots can be eaten, its roots and fruits can be used as medicine for colds, fevers, nephritis, and more. The flowers can be distilled into fragrant oils,” Bi Fang said.

“Even the leaf powder can be used as a seasoning for sweet-tasting dishes. Take a sniff.” Bi Fang plucked a stalk and handed it to Leonardo.

Leonardo took it, brought it close to his nose for a smell, pondered for a moment and said, “It’s somewhat like vanilla with a hint of coconut.”

“Exactly,” Bi Fang affirmed Leonardo’s comment. “Moreover, the Pandanus fruit is edible too, but only when it’s fresh. Once it ages, it becomes too tough to bite.”

[My gosh, if these plants are all over the rainforest, then you don’t have to worry about finding food, do you?]

[The rainforest is filled with treasures!]

The audience was excited, but Bi Fang brutally punctured their fantasy, “Unfortunately, its fruit is in season only in November and December. You won’t see any in June.”

“Furthermore, the Pandanus fruit is somewhat toxic; it must be soaked in water for over half an hour before eating, and even then, eating it as a staple food might still cause diarrhea. Getting sick in the rainforest is very troublesome, more so than in any other place.”

“Incredible!” Director Zhou Weisheng couldn’t help but exclaim from the side. Bi Fang had a big reputation for a reason; it was well deserved.

In just these short ten minutes or so, Bi Fang had explained nearly all of the functions of the Pandanus tree, down to the smallest detail.

At least on the surface, this one plant seemed to solve both clothing and food needs.

Bi Fang smiled, exchanged pleasantries, and then took the grass skirt into the cabin.

Suddenly, the live streaming room erupted.

[Here it comes, the big moment is coming!]

[Primitive man, move out!]
