Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness-Chapter 589 - 586: Here it comes
"There are many ways to restrict the movements of prey without harming their lives; the simplest is to dig a pit, a deep pit."
Bi Fang scattered fallen leaves and soil over the ground to conceal the traces of the trap.
Often, animals aren’t aware of traps because they’re smart, but merely because they tend to stay away from unfamiliar objects.
"Before you learn to set animal traps, you must understand that in many places around the world, it’s illegal to do so unless you have to for survival."
"Traps can kill endangered species, and not only that, they can cause injuries to large animals and even humans."
[Master Fang: It’s illegal to do this, so don’t you guys learn it.]
[Although I’m teaching, that doesn’t mean you should do it (Dog’s head)]

Bi Fang saw the barrage of comments and couldn’t help laughing, "This is just in case, to broaden your knowledge. What if you need it one day? Besides, I got permission from the forestry bureau the first time I live streamed, and every time thereafter it’s been with consent. I’m a law-abiding citizen."
[Law-abiding Boss Fang]
[Epic scene]
"This time, I’ve set mainly snares, probably the simplest and most primitive trap in the world, commonly known as the neck noose. Despite its simplicity, it has a wide range of prey; just adjust the size of the loop and the thickness of the rope, and it can catch anything from squirrels, wild rabbits, to wolves and wild boars, and even black bears."
"However, if you are living in a certain place, settling down, then you need to be careful not to disturb other animals in the area when setting traps to prevent them from becoming aware of the traps you’ve set."
After concealing the trap’s marks, Bi Fang moved to a dense shrubbery and hid within. Discover hidden tales at novelbuddy
Waiting for prey is undoubtedly a very patience-consuming task.
In the bushes, mosquitoes buzzed around.
To avoid his scent being exposed by sudden wind direction changes, Bi Fang covered himself with mud that had been boiled and sterilized, into which he had mixed a considerable amount of willow sap, and finally coated with ash from plants and grasses.
Even if approached within three meters, Black Bear would probably mistake Bi Fang for a lush willow tree.
Bi Fang sat on the ground, leaning a vine-wrapped spear against his shoulder, constantly adjusting his breathing and lowering his heart rate, making him seem like a boulder covered in moss.
Bi Fang’s lips moved slightly, but viewers could still hear clearly what he was saying.
"As long as the camouflage is appropriate and the right approach is used, we can get within the effective hunting range of almost any animal. This is the wisdom humanity has gathered over tens of thousands of years."
Most predators have their own fixed hunting ranges.
But humans, with their strong bodies and brains, have conquered almost the entire world, even the cold Arctic with its Inuit inhabitants.
Every form of prey exists in humans’ diet, their weaknesses, their habits, all systematically summarized and experienced.
This is the most valuable treasure of humans when hunting primitive style, coupled with an utterly terrifying learning capability.
Unfailingly successful.
"When you approach prey, you must remain calm."
Bi Fang glanced down and to the side, spotting a small bug with a swollen belly, a deep blackish-red under the sunlight, on his arm.
A blood-sucking louse.
Bi Fang hadn’t even noticed when it had jumped on him; such small insects were easy to overlook, a common part of life in the forest.
Bi Fang directly pinched it and tore it out from the flesh, bursting out a disgusting mixture of blood and white pus, causing the audience in front of the screen to feel nauseated.
[Damn, that’s disgusting]
[Got used to it... Master Fang’s livestream is incredibly clear, sometimes the scenery is truly beautiful, but one has to endure the disgusting parts (Dog’s head)]
[A double-edged sword of clarity (facetious)]
However, Bi Fang was very calm, as in the rainforest such situations were more common, with leeches, blood-sucking lice, bats, venomous snakes, mosquitoes—the mosquitoes in the rainforest were not like the ones seen in the city, they were a completely different matter, both poisonous and fierce.
In the subtropical regions of Japan, these cases were already fewer.
"When you discover lice on your body, you must remove them immediately, and not wait for them to leave on their own."
"In areas with many insects, check every one to two hours for lice on your body, and don’t use cigarettes or burning plants to smoke them out, as that only causes them to release a lot of venom. Instead, you should use tweezers to grab and directly pull them out from your skin."
Bi Fang glanced at his body and found two more lice-infested spots, which he promptly removed.
"Insects are very harmful, especially in tropical regions, where they are the main vectors for disease transmission. The most common and often ignored are lice, which can carry many viruses."
"For example, Lyme disease, after infection you get fever, headache, and in severe cases it affects the heart and the nervous system, and can even be fatal, and there is no vaccine for the virus, only antibiotics can be used."
[Strange cases are increasing]
[The world is so dangerous]
[Why are there so many disgusting things in the world, viruses, parasites, I’m gonna throw up]
"Fortunately, in the vast majority of regions, this risk is relatively low, only people in Ugly Country need to be careful, as about one third of the lice there carry this bacteria."
"Once lice land on the body, they will bite into the skin to suck blood, and after about twelve hours, they will release their barbs and inject saliva to destroy the surrounding tissue of the wound, and it is this saliva that may contain bacteria or viruses."
"Alright, now we wait for the Black Bear to show up. I have observed the surroundings, and there are many claw marks left on the tree trunks nearby, you see over there."
Bi Fang pointed to a nearby tree, half of its bark was rubbed off, and sawdust covered the ground, a sign of the Black Bear frequently scratching itself against the tree.
The Black Bear liked this tree very much, perhaps because of its nice smell, getting a fragrant rub every time, or perhaps because the hardness of the wood was just right, excellent for relieving the itch.
"It might be an hour, or it might be half a day, in any case, we have time to wait."
This approach, essentially, still relied on luck, no one could provide an accurate estimate of when the Black Bear would come, but experienced hunters could usually use the footprints and traces on the ground to calculate how long the bear had been gone and whether it favored this particular area.
Bi Fang sat with the audience, and the wait went from morning until afternoon, and all the way to evening, but the Black Bear did not appear.
The audience was getting impatient, after all, waiting for a bear was quite tedious and boring.
[What’s going on, is it there or not?]
[The day lily has gotten cold]
Yet Bi Fang remained in good spirits; he did not think his judgment was wrong, on the contrary, the longer the wait, the closer the time of the Black Bear’s arrival.
Indeed, the moment the sun set, an unusual noise came from the forest.
Bi Fang was instantly alert.
"It’s here."
