Chihuahuan Desert, Western Texas,I was setting up camp for the night. 在德克薩斯州西部的奇瓦瓦沙漠里 我當(dāng)時在搭晚上睡覺的帳篷
Look, there's a whole cave up here. 看吶 這有一個大洞窟
My plan was to build a fire using an ancient survival technique,the hand drill. 我計劃用一種古老的方式 來生一個火堆 鉆木取火
No matches, no flints.Just two bits of wood. 沒有火柴 沒有打火石 只有兩條小木棍
To start a fire in any environment without matches is a tough undertaking. 在任何沒有火柴的情況下生火 是個很艱難的過程
Okay, that's the rough shape of it,and then what you want is just a tiny, little pinch of sand. 好的 雛形出來了 接下來要做的就是要加一點點沙子
And that's gonna add a little bit more friction. 這樣一來就能增加一點摩擦力
It does take, you know,a good level of skill and craftsmanship. 那的確很... 考驗一個人的手藝 是技術(shù)活
And what you want is a continuous plume of smoke coming from the ember pan, 我們想要的效果呢 就是這個灰燼堆里 冒出縷縷青煙
and then you know you got the potential to make fire.Come on. 那個時候 你離生火 就不遠(yuǎn)了 給點力啊
You do see it happening. You do the right techniques. 真的能見到的 只要你手法正確
It's - it's wonderful, wonderful to watch.Super gently with this, just tip that in. 就能見到那個美好而神奇的場面 一定要慢慢來 小心地把它倒進來
And what you want to do is tip it like this so it stays as one ember. 接下來要做的就是 這樣把它堆起來 弄成一團灰盡
Okay, there we go.However many times you do it,nothing beats that feeling of creating fire. 好了 成功了 無論你經(jīng)歷過多少次 成功生火的那種愉悅是無可替代的
