I came to the river today. After successfully capturing the hole mouse, I immediately want to try new captures. it’s a fish
I’ve seen adults catch hole rats before, but I’ve never seen them catch fish. Perhaps because it is difficult to catch, no one tries to catch it, and people only come to the river to draw water and bathe.
It is possible that even if they catch fish, they do not bring it into the village and eat it by themselves. One or two would be best. But I came here with the intention of catching about ten of them and having them put in the village soup.
Still lacking credibility, other refugees are cold. I want to gain a lot of credibility here, so I’m thinking of getting everyone to eat the fish that is rarely eaten. Then your cold demeanor should improve a little, right?
I’m thinking of making a trap to catch fish. I want to catch a lot of fish, so I plan to make two.
The shape of the trap is to make an enclosure with stones to lure the fish inside. Of course, I have a barb attached, and I plan to keep it from going out of the enclosure.
“Ah”
No, I had something to do before that. Fufufu, I’m thinking of catching snacks at the same time today. It’s a river crab that hides in the shadows of rocks or among stones in water. But it will take a long time to find and catch it.
So I thought of a way. Immediately after leaving the house, I covered the ivy basket I made earlier with leaves to eliminate gaps. Collect the worms you catch along the way. These worms are also food for the fish, so I caught a lot of them, which was a little disgusting.
Cut the worms into pieces and scatter them in shallow water. Then the crab attracted by the earthworm should crawl out from the gap. If you catch it there, you can save the trouble of looking for it. If you do it while making a fish trap, it will save time.
I place a marker stone where the worms are scattered, and pull up my trousers above my knees to start trapping. I enter the river with my shoes on and build an enclosure with a handy stone. Stones of various sizes are used, and the gaps between the stones are filled in so that the enclosure does not collapse.
I wonder if a large amount of stones were needed, and soon the stones that looked good disappeared from the surroundings. Hmm, it’s painful because I was bending my back all the time. I think I’ll go and see how the crabs look.
While building the enclosure, I was more concerned about the crabs, so I walked towards the landmark. It’s been 30 minutes since I started making it, but I wonder if it came out. I’m a little nervous.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!”
I found a crab crawling out of a gap in a stone, attracted by an earthworm. I hurried up to the shore, took out the worms from the ivy cage, placed them on the gravel, and quickly returned to the place where the crabs were.
“Fufufu, I did it. I got a crab.”
I put my hand in the river and caught a crab from below. The crab is moving its limbs to escape and is a little cute. But this is important food. I threw it into the ivy basket without mercy and looked in the river for the rest of the crabs.
Crabs are appearing here and there, probably because I scattered them here and there. I move quietly so that the crabs don’t notice me, quietly put my hand into the river, and grab it quickly when I catch it. After repeating this many times, the number of crabs in the ivy cage increased to a total of 6.
“Now then, let’s make an enclosure.”
Once the ivy basket is placed on the gravel, work on the enclosure begins again. This time he brought a stone from a distance and placed it near the enclosure. After continuing the work for a while and a mountain of stones is completed, we begin to build an enclosure.
I want to use it for as long as possible, so I want it to be durable. Raise the height of the stone above the water surface while making the base of the enclosure sturdy so that it does not collapse. After working like that, it was completed. It’s a trap with a diameter of 1m, and it has a barb.
“Ah, I’m tired”
When you stretch your hips, you can hear a crackling sound, hmm, it feels good. It feels even better when you turn your tired arms around. After stretching my body, I finally came up to the shore and came to the ivy basket.
Inside the basket, the crabs are bubbling and blowing bubbles, which is cute and soothing. She took the basket and came to the point where she scattered the worms again.
“Wow, I’m here”
If you look closely, you’ll find crabs crawling out here and there. Well done, this operation was a success. I don’t know if there were a lot of them out of sight, or if they were attracted by the worms and came from far away, but I’m really happy about this.
I caught them one after another so as not to let them escape, and the cage was filled with crabs. I think I was able to catch 16 in total. Far from filling your stomach with this much, you may be full.
“Nfufu~, let’s take a break before building another enclosure.”
Move to near the forest while humming in a good mood. There was a fire starter set prepared in advance and only one mushroom found on the way.
“Now then, I wonder if I can make a fire well for the first time.”
I have some knowledge. Because I had seen it on TV in my previous life and researched it on the internet.
Place two wooden boards that were scrap wood from the village, a large wooden board on the bottom and a smaller wooden board on top. Place the stripped, straightest possible branch vertically on a wooden board. Now then, all you have to do is hold the branch between your hands and turn it.
“Fu, put in the effort and quickly… Hmm.”
Rub the branches quickly. Every time you turn it, push your hand down more and more, endure it until the last minute… Move your hand right up and turn it again. I can hear a high-pitched sound, and it feels really good.
Black shavings overflow from the rubbed areas. But it hasn’t become a spark yet. Spin it over and over until the red light comes out. Even if my arms get tired, I never rest, because if I don’t decide quickly, I’ll have a hard time later.
Then, the black scraps of wood flashed red. I hurriedly tossed the branch and picked up a piece of wood that was long and thin like a thread. Carefully put black scraps of wood into the scraps of wood and take a long, slow breath out of your mouth.
“Fu, fu, fu”
Don’t be hasty, carefully blow your breath while pounding so that the spark doesn’t disappear.
boa
“Wow, they’re here!”
Suppressing my joy when I arrived, I threw the burnt wood chips under the assembled tree branches and breathed again. Smoke billowed up, and the fire ignited the branches and turned into a big flame. Successful fire!
“I did it, I arrived”
I was happy and wished you all the best. Maybe you have a knack for starting fires?
