Now, it is a forest. The word "forest" has many meanings, and the image that each person has is different. As for the forest that surrounds me, it's like a virgin forest. To put it simply.

Bushes! Trees! Leaves! Bug! Uboaahhh!

Yeah, I guess. The discomfort factor is skyrocketing. It's a little hard to go through without proper bushwalking equipment. My top and bottom of my sweatshirt are going to be ripped to shreds at high speed if I'm walking in this area.

But there's no way to survive in the wilderness, so I'm going to the forest. I have to go... Being alone is so lonely, after all.

It's dangerous to wade into the depths of the forest without a firm goal, so I wandered around the area close to the border of the wilderness. After about an hour of exploring, I found a tree that even I could climb. It's an excellent place to use as a base for the time being, as the surrounding area is a little more open.

"Well, now...?"

I carefully check the area and the condition of the trees. There are no footprints of beasts or other animals and no unnatural claw marks on the trees as far as I can see. No bees or ants or other dangerous-looking insects.

You may have wondered why I would care about ants, but there are quite a few species of stinging ants that live on Earth. I mean, the ants that live around houses in Japan are just safe, but there are quite a few ants with poisonous stingers on the tip of their tails. They're like relatives of hornets!

Speaking of insects, I haven't found any strange ones around here so far.

If this is some distant planet or world that isn't Earth, I don't think it's surprising that there are some monstrous creatures that I can't even imagine.

No, I wouldn't want to meet them, though.

Anyway, the tree looks safe, so I try to climb it slowly and carefully. Yeah, it's just plain scary.

I tried to climb up to about 2 meters above the ground, but it's scary to look down. I can't sleep on this unless I use something to fix my body or something.

I slowly get down from the tree and take a breath. What should I do next?

Fire or water.

If I have water, I can survive for a while without food, but I'll need a fire to survive the night.

Should I build a fire anyway? Since it's something I've never actually done before based on knowledge alone, it's a good idea to try it while there is still time to do it.

First, I prepare a branch that is as straight as possible.

Then gather a large piece of wood, a well-bunching branch, a flat stone, and a wood piece that could be used as firewood on a well-dried branch.

If the fire was made, I could start a barbecue as well, so I cleaned up the fallen leaves away from the trees in the camp base, dug up the ground with my No. 1 stone blade, and put the large pieces of wood on the ground. I scraped the wood chip with the No. 1 stone blade and made some hollows in the ground.

A flat stone is used to hold the stick down from above, and a piece of wood is placed in the hollow of the wood to serve as the friction point, and the bow is then moved back and forth.

After many twists and turns, the bow is too weak to break, and it won't ignite... Although I manage to create a spark, I fail to ignite it.
