Apart from anything else, just these food reserves, if eaten conservatively, could get him through the next fifty days or so.
But with these smoked fish reserves, Lin Yang was far from satisfied. As he said in his live stream, it wasn't just about surviving two months in this place; it was about living well, not merely avoiding starvation.
With food in his pocket, his heart wasn't panicked. He spent another two days increasing his stock of dried fish from around fifty to a hundred.
As the old saying goes, don't put all your eggs in one basket. To prevent theft of food from the cellar when he left his camp, Lin Yang adopted the same strategy.
He stored half of the dried fish in a cellar sealed with a large rock, and the remaining half near the lake area. He cut down three pine trees from a few meters off the ground, creating an open triangular platform.
The chopped-off treetops were then crafted into a simple ladder.
