Chapter 658 - 281: Cooking Bear Paws_3
Well, I’ll be damned, the cabin barely big enough for one person was practically filled wall to wall with smoked meat. With the next forty-eight days to go, even if I didn’t hunt any further, my food supply would be more than ample to the point of extravagance.
In contrast to Lin Yang’s rather comfortable situation, the other contestants were not so lucky.
Norman, from Channel 4, accidentally hit his foot with a falling ax while chopping wood and became the first person to drop out of the competition.
The young Indian lady from Channel 6 also found herself in a precarious position.
As a botanist, ever since she arrived on this land, she had mostly gathered various berries, tubers, and lichens for sustenance.
This kind of food could suffice for a short period, but with the huge energy expenditure from building shelters, she soon began to run a deficit.
However, Contestant No. 6 was incredibly tenacious. Taking suggestions from the live broadcast’s audience, she set up several simple snares around her territory. Luck seemed to favor her, as there were plenty of rabbits in the vicinity; by the morning of the second day, she had caught five rabbits, reversing her situation from the brink of withdrawal.
In comparison, contestant No. 8, the black youth Claude, was doing the best next to Lin Yang.
On the first day of the competition, he caught a porcupine, which meant that he didn’t have to worry about food for at least a week. After his shelter was built, Claude began preparing for hunting.
He spent a considerable amount of time roaming around a ten-kilometer radius.
At first, the audience was somewhat critical of his behavior, but in reality, the guy was getting a good grasp of the hunting ground.
On the ninth day, Claude had a new achievement; using a bow and arrow, he successfully killed a Wolf Weasel. The thirty-pound Wolf Weasel significantly replenished his food supply.
