Lin Yu'an carefully stored the tanned beaver pelts. Looking at his relatively abundant food supplies, his confidence soared!
This also gave him more time and energy to invest in improving his archery skills, preparing for exploration and hunting in more distant places.
During his previous archery practice, Lin Yu'an had keenly sensed that his rebirth's spatial golden finger was not just simple storage, but seemed to have enhanced his physical qualities to some degree.

Lin Yu'an's participation undoubtedly injected new vitality and attention points into the vast potential Chinese market.
While the broadcast of the first episode sparked heated discussions in the civilized world thousands of miles away, Lin Yu'an knew nothing about it.
At this moment, sunlight at Chilko Lake was filtering through the sparse coniferous forest, shining on his stone shelter with its natural style.
Two fresh beaver pelts were drying on a simple wooden frame outs...

While Lin Yu'an struggled against nature and solitude at Chilko Lake, far away in the civilized world thousands of miles distant, an uproar surrounding Season 8 of "Alone" had completely erupted.
It had been more than a month since Lin Yu'an set foot on that pristine wilderness.
The first episode of "Alone: Grizzly Mountain" finally premiered officially during prime time on the History Channel amid great anticipation.
As the program began, that familiar opening sequence and ...

Returning to the warm stone shelter, Lin Yu'an first found a well-ventilated and shady spot outside the shelter for the two beaver pelts, propping them open with wooden sticks. He hung them up for initial drying, awaiting subsequent scraping and tanning. Then, he began processing today's main ingredient: beaver meat.
"To ensure food safety, I plan to first boil all the meat from these two beavers to thoroughly kill any possible parasites," Lin Yu'an said while dragging out from the corn...

Lin Yu'an didn't immediately process the beaver, but instead restored the first trap's snare, carefully checking the condition of the steel wire and anchor stake.
After confirming no damage, he skillfully reset it in the original position. Beavers are social animals, so there was definitely more than one in this den.
Although other beavers might have already fled, he still held a glimmer of hope.
Only then did Lin Yu'an walk toward the second trap's location with some antici...

On the morning of the thirtieth day, Lin Yu'an had a simple breakfast, put on his rain pants, took his equipment, and came to the beaver area he had observed yesterday.
This was a beaver dam made of mud and branches near the riverbank, with some beaver-gnawed branches faintly visible on the water surface.
He crouched down, lowering his upper body as much as possible, carefully observing underwater. In the murky stream water, he vaguely saw a dark opening about thirty to forty cent...

Time had reached the twenty-ninth day. After the newly built clay brick stove had burned all night, hot embers still remained in the firebox, keeping the entire stone house warm.
Lin Yu'an stretched, his joints making soft crackling sounds, his face showing a trace of lazy satisfaction.
He walked to the stove, stirred the embers, and added some dry pine cones and kindling. The flames quickly rekindled.
He started the camera.
"I slept so comfortably last night! This sto...

Today marked Lin Yu'an's twenty-fourth day in the Chilko Lake wilderness.
After several days of busy work, that compact and practical ground updraft kiln had successfully fired the clay brick mold and several kiln top sealing plates.
Lin Yu'an didn't rest, immediately throwing himself into the work of mass-producing clay brick blanks. Using that ceramic mold, he pressed out uniformly sized mud bricks one after another.
Soon, the open area beside the shelter was neatly arrang...

"Since the clay quality is fine and we already have a key kiln grate, next we can officially build the ground updraft kiln."
He returned to the previously selected clearing. The earthen kiln he planned to build didn't need to be too large, capable of firing about twenty clay bricks at once would be sufficient.
This would ensure heating efficiency while being convenient for one person to operate. Lin Yu'an began building the earthen kiln according to his mental blueprint.

"Guys, here's my plan. We need to fire clay bricks for the furnace, so the first step is to find suitable clay and build an earthen kiln!"
Lin Yu'an picked up the camera, brought along his logging axe and a sharp wooden spear, and began his soil-hunting journey.
When he was fishing earlier, he had noticed that the lake water flowed toward the north bank of the river. Such areas, due to water erosion and sedimentation, often form fine clay layers more easily.
Sure enough, on ...

On the night the shelter was completed, Lin Yu'an lit a fire pit for the first time in the stone house he had built with his own hands.
The warm firelight reflected on the rough stone walls, immediately dispelling the cold and darkness of the mountain forest.
Outside, autumn winds howled, but inside the stone house it was warm as spring and filled with a sense of security.
The only flaw was that the anticipated smoke exhaust system wasn't working very well. The campfire prod...

Another morning dawned, and Lin Yu'an went out on an empty stomach.
He took out his fishing tackle bag from his equipment pack, containing various sizes of fishing line, hooks, and a small amount of lead sinkers. He also took out some secret weapons he had brought!
These were several custom hooks made from high-carbon steel, sharpened to exceptional sharpness with tiny barbs, along with a small roll of almost transparent but extremely tough special nylon fishing line.
He did...

Inside the temporary camp.
Lin Yu'an carefully cleaned the grouse, marinated it simply with the mixed spices and a bit of salt he had secretly brought, then steamed half and roasted the other half. Soon the fragrant aroma of meat made him feel like his mouth was watering.
By the time he finished cooking the grouse, it had grown dark, and he could even hear wolves howling in the distance. Of course, he couldn't be bothered with that now, only wanting to quickly taste this grouse!

When Lin Yu'an carried the camera and trudged through the muddy terrain to reach the permanent campsite, he discovered that the edges of the shallow pit he had initially excavated yesterday had suffered small-scale collapses in some areas due to rainwater erosion.
The stone blocks he had laboriously collected were also thoroughly soaked by the rain, making them even heavier and more slippery to transport.
He didn't rush to continue digging and wall-building, but first carefully in...

After a good night's sleep, the energy from the rabbit meat and fish soup made Lin Yu'an feel refreshed when he woke up in the morning.
Lin Yu'an showed an energetic smile to the camera lens on his chest, "Good morning, guys!"

After simply washing up with heated stream water, he warmed up the remaining thin rabbit soup and paired it wi...

Lin Yu'an gripped the logging axe and held the camera, vigilantly watching the bushes where the strange sounds came from. His heart beat powerfully in his chest as adrenaline began to quietly secrete.
He held his breath, trying hard to distinguish the movements in the darkness. The rustling sounds accompanied by low whimpers grew closer and closer.
Lin Yu'an took half a step back, positioning himself in a more advantageous stance for exerting force, while slightly adjusting the an...

The first ray of dawn at Chilko Lake, carrying a hint of chill, penetrated through the crude gaps of the temporary shelter and awakened Lin Yu'an from his sleep.
He opened his eyes, feeling the warmth from the thick sleeping bag beneath him and the cold air outside the bag.
Fortunately, no large predators had visited during the night, only some subtle rustling sounds, probably from some curious small creatures.

Mid-August.
The tremendous roar of propellers approached from afar, then thundered away with a whoosh.
When Lin Yu'an unbuckled his safety belt and stepped off the helicopter onto the land covered with thick coniferous needles and slippery moss, his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Beneath his feet was solid earth, around him was an unfamiliar primeval forest, and overhead was the vast, somewhat gloomy sky of British Columbia, Canada.
He took one last look at the ...

Seeing Lin Yu'an's unprecedentedly serious expression, Aliya's heart couldn't help but tighten. She nodded lightly.
"Go ahead, Lin, I'm listening." She could feel that what Lin Yu'an was about to say must be extraordinary.
