Poten

The raft, which began with only hand axes, wooden knives and climbing ropes, stunned experts from the National team who had been filming the 'Man and Jungle’ team for years.

The forest that came to Minho's guide was a place where well-groomed natural logs were lying around. You can call it a professional raft workshop.

The two-hour scene from Bill's manipulated camera was the construction of a very simple structure of rafts, with logs lined up at the water's edge and strapped with a pole passing through the center.

Ralph, an outsider, asks Scarlet.

"What the hell is that beaver doing following the Mister River like that? You went to the lake with him yesterday.

Scarlet looks back and forth from Minho's side, looking at the beaver feeding the branches and thinking about what happened yesterday.

I don't know. The amount of footage Justine made. I think we should call in a zoologist and interview him for a proper broadcast.

Is there a zoologist who can explain that?

Scarlet shakes his head because that's the unknown.

With a thin wooden column in his bag, wrapped around a poncho and watching Minho mounting on the front and rear of the raft, Scarlet decided that his expectations of how much more surprising he would show during this period were meaningless.

A young Asian man who can only be painted by filming.

Yesterday, when he thought he was overwhelmed, he couldn't spare a moment. It was bad luck to volunteer according to Wolf's words and senses.

Traveling with this person is a priceless experience that you will not be able to afford.

"Ralph, those guys are fun, right?

Agree.

Scarlett realized that she was someday considering the team as a friend of the trip, not a target, and smiled at her mouth.

At 1: 00 p.m., a crude, but sturdy raft sits in front of a fox. A raft sits on the surface, raising white currents along the wheel of a thick log.

“Whew! We made this in five hours. ”

The rock stood on the raft in awe. A large rectangular space for 8 adults to sit in. The tarp dried bags on either side hold the center of gravity at the same time as the buoyancy, making it look like a highly decorated raft.

The group climbs up one by one and settles down.

Minho, who had a long stick, finally climbed up to the rear and told everyone.

“Welcome to Justin. A round of applause for your friend for the ingredients! ”

The group cheers for the beaver standing idle by the water.

“Goodbye, Stein! I'm gonna miss you! ”

“I'll write you a letter! ”

Beaver glances at Minho as he looks at the group, joking about their greetings. Then he swims to the dam where his nest is.

Paint Rock, 13 km from secondary supply point.

The team 'Realist’ was passing through a soft sandy area where his feet were tucked in.

A space where only the cracking of the sand floors and the crackling of a few black-eyed birds occasionally rush from one tree to the other. Henry casts his gaze down the crooked path along the steep foothills.

Lami. I like the picture now.

Rami, right behind him, was photographed in the front with a large lens.

Chasing the route to the Atlantic Ocean, the great Indian journey over the ‘Paint Rock’ head is still harsh and awe-inspiring. Shoe, put the description up like this.

It tickles so much.

It works like this.

Henry gasps as he winks at Frank in the photo.

If you cross that head, you'll see the French Broad River. Let's set up camp there.

"That's only 15 kilometers away. Isn't it too little?

You have no reason to fight for time in this unparalleled first place.

The rest of the team still has two more days to make it past the secondary supply point.

I was expecting the Korean team.

How long the dropout team is in pursuit. Now it's not too late to move while pacing.

Slow down everyone's steps! Let's have fun.

By 4 p.m., Henry's group crosses their heads.

Cheers.

- Dispatch, Scarlet Team 1, do you have Team 1?

The radio flashes in Frank's hands.

What kind of radio are you at this hour?

- I contacted HQ and got an approximate location. Don't you see us?

How do we see Team 9? Did you get the coordinates wrong?

How do we see a team that's only 30 kilometers behind?

“Hey ―! ”

As Frank makes his way down the slopes of the valley, his eyes widen with echoes echoing through the peaks.

- Can you see us?

· · · I see it too.

A raft that flows down the river. Scarlet waves his hand at the ‘Realist’ team on the slopes.

Henry, who was standing in the lead, stopped. He couldn't say anything while trying to understand the situation he was witnessing as common sense.

Frank asked on the radio as he zoomed in on Scarlet's side with the camera.

Can you explain to me what happened?

- Well, maybe we should do it later. In a nutshell, I made this with Beaver's help.

- 'Min-ho, this is fun. Can we keep riding? ’

- Then you're off the course and out. Unless you want to go to the Atlantic. ’

On the radio, whether Scarlet kept pressing the send button, the voice of the Korean team flowed in. Frank glanced at Henry at the lead and said,

Don't be brief. There's an overload on Henry's brain and he's frozen.

- Tell Henry there's no need to worry. Your team and mine are of a different genre. You're the original trailer, we are.

Henry unconsciously turns his head as he is mentioned by his voice on the radio.

- 'Great survival. ’

Team 9's raft, which was gradually going downstream along the rapid currents, disappeared into the ravine where the hooves bend.

* * *

French Broad River downstream point, 132km.

Scarlet wakes up on a radio that's been beeping steadily since dawn.

Cheers.

- Henry's curious. He's going crazy. Call me when you wake up, Scarlet.

Cheers.

- Team 5, Pacific Trail. I'm trying to follow the path of a Korean team that's moving in a straight line because there are so many injuries, but how did you jump 50 kilometers yesterday?

Cheers.

- Scarlet, do you copy? I'm on my way to airlift the tape now, so please wait a little while before you leave. And skipping point two is great, but is there enough food?

The last one was the voice of responsible director Michael.

Yesterday's report caused a commotion between the headquarters and all the teams participating in the event. Making rafts out of natural materials and going 50 kilometers in five hours was unexpected because no one was going to reverse the concept of the race.

Only human legs and nature. The Korean team's current ranking was overwhelming, as it did not violate the rules of the competition.

A large yawn, Scarlet extends his arm outside and drags the radio into his sleeping bag.

"Michael."

- Scarlet, are you awake?

What do you think now?

- What do you mean?

Do you still think I should have taken Team 1?

- I'll celebrate in advance. Ms. Scarlet Lawrence, director in charge.

French Broad River upstream point, 117km from the starting point.

Frank finishes his call with Scarlet and approaches Henry.

Henry.

Henry sits by the extinguished campfire and raises his head.

Looks like it's true that someone called the Mister River built the raft. Normally, it would be impossible, but it was raining heavily, and it was trying to stretch to the waterway just right.

"Root? You have to understand hundreds of water paths to get out of that area.

He understands?

Nonsense.

Henry muttered, but after the unbelievable situation had already happened.

The bell entered the latter half mile, and I didn't know how far I would have to go to catch up with the Korean team more than half a day ahead. The problem was the condition of the Korean team. I was sure there would be enough room for my leg muscles since I didn't move a single step yesterday.

Only now did Frank realize that seeing Henry so vigorously, Scarlet didn't offer to switch teams for no reason.

"Henry, are you going to keep looking so stupid today?

Reversal · · · · of course.

Henry stood up with a stiff look on his face.

He looked at Sugar's laptop, which was checking blog comments for broad communications.

"Henry. There's someone on our blog who mentions Mr. Rivers.

What?

I learned to curse from my Korean friend. I wrote it down. I don't know what it is.

Sugar showed me the laptop screen. A sentence that translates Korean into English.

[jongju joachi hane!]

After reading it, Henry tilted his head.

What does this mean?

It defiles and corrupts the competition.

It's not humiliating. It's a common sense way of doing things. Okay, 30 kilometers from today. We'll be at the end of the line in three days!

Henry addressed all of his team members, saying:

Day 8 Third Supply Point to Sisters Mountain peak, 152km.

The 'Man and Jungle’ team departed from the supply point and crossed the middle of two adjacent mountains side by side.

Rough twin mountains reaching 2,000 m above sea level.

Although the name 'sister’ was given in Korean, the walk of the group crossing two altogether different heights at the time of creation contained a light walk in Jeju Island, not a difficult hike. So, even though it was a mountain range that was going to be over a two-day schedule, there was plenty of room.

Heartbreak leads the group from the front to today's leader, feeling different from the last 5 days. Unlike the time when we had to walk only silently to not be left behind, now we have a path to go forward, and it was not as stubborn as when we had to walk the hidden path of the swamp.

It was only 8 days, but I felt like I grew up big.

In the meantime, I pulled out another claw and left eight, but the soles of my feet were that thick. I can feel the strength of the muscles I've never felt under the hide.

Have you ever experienced such clarity that the muscles of your knees, shins, thighs, and buttocks move delicately while performing your mission?

The shoulders, back, and back of the big bag that suppressed the body were scratched with a scab, but now they are stiff and holding the body firmly.

The healthier you walk, the more unimaginable you will be at the beginning of this trail.

Deep Ore sings a nostril and looks back at Minho, focusing on finding wildlife. Thank you for allowing me to enjoy the value of walking.

“Why, sir? ”

“Oh, no. When do you think we'll have lunch? ”

“It's up to you. This place is empty, so there's plenty of room to sit. ”

“I'll give you some smoked trout with extra seasoning. ”

“Really? Wow! ”

The sound opened the eyes of the yellow stone.

“Oops, bro, I'm hungry too! Scarlet, Hungary? Sim Brothers Haves Delicious Food! ”

“Me too, brother. ”

“Hmmm. Ore brother. We should share the good stuff. ”

In 30 minutes.

An unimaginable animal appears in front of a group of people who share smoked trout in front of an alpine forest a few days ago.

“High, high, high · · · · · · · · ·. ”

He was so embarrassed that he couldn't even pronounce the name of the animal at first.

“· · · It's a bear! ”

A massive black mass that growls forcefully. A four-legged black bear stands still, all of them pinned down, approaching just five meters.

“Calm down. Throw everything you've been eating in front of you and state that you have no intention of attacking. ”

A calm voice was heard, and a lump of smoked trout was thrown forward.

The black bear leans over and starts eating trout, writhing its fat ass. At first, a frightening appearance melts the minds of the group.

The smoked trout was thrown to the ground.

After five minutes, the full black bear disappears back into the forest.

“Dude, let's take a picture together! ”

After disappearing, Hwang Ji-seok, who raised his voice, sighed in relief.

“I can't get into that forest. Shouldn't we change course? ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

Minho, who searched the terrain, said.

“Should we rest here and ride down the sled tomorrow? ”

“Sled?”

Minho pointed to the sky where the snow began to fall.

End of Day 9 ~ over, 200km

Michael, executive director of Great Traverse, was looking forward to the frenzy at the entrance to the ‘Rocky Fork’ state park, which was designated as the end site.

Only 3 teams have declared abandonment due to sudden snowfall since 2 days ago. Of the 12 challenging teams, there are only five left.

Moreover, Teams 1 and 9, who were competing fiercely in the rankings, were running with dangerous options to worry about their crews.

A 'realist’ who breaks through to a 30-km enforcer a day. The 'Man and Jungle’ team makes sleds and moves steep slopes. At least today the weather was clear and the snow began to melt.

Who will come first?

I think ‘Realist’. Yesterday the difference was only five kilometers.

The Korean team makes a very unusual course. I'm Man and Jungle.

Waiting desperately for the top team, the steps of the QBS station were the same. Starting in the morning, Helicam was mobilized to scout the area, and the surrounding trends were monitored hourly.

I see it! There, there!

At someone's shout, various cameras pulled a zoom in.

The spot where the twin peaks are. There was a group of people walking down the snow, bound to each other.

Wolf jumps over the watchtower of the camp and zooms in on their movements with a high-performance telescope. Everyone is walking around with their hats down, so it's hard to see their faces, but you can see the flag that one of the leading men is putting in his bag.

[Man and Jungle]

Haha!

Instructor Wolf. Are you a Korean team?

The PD looked at the watchtower and asked. Wolf raises his thumb downward and nods.

“Ow. Ow. ”

The breath of eight people spreads to the top of a white, bitten mountain.

Slippery eyes. Been moving for four hours in a way that keeps each other on ropes and helps each other at all times. The National filming team walks with the ropes tied together and exhales violently.

“Take five minutes off! Don't sit down, just breathe! ”

I stopped walking with all my shouts.

Minho turns his head to look back at the road he's been on before he goes down the mountain, caring about the safety of his group.

The high mountains where granite cliffs pierced the sky, the jagged ridges along them, the majestic mountain peaks from the clouds, the breathable forests, swamps, and lakes all covered with snow and showed a completely different charm than a few days ago.

Walking in nature that changed in time and time was an unbreakable series of wonders. Looking back so quietly, it was like the Great Mother Nature was gesturing to come back again.

200 kilometers. ’

When I walked there, I felt a quiet echo in Minho's heart.

“Huh? Campground! I see the city. We're here. Now! ”

I turned my head to someone's cry and looked forward.

Familiar landscapes of the city close to the horizon. Complex buildings, crowded streets, people and people.

‘What a pity. ’

I don't know if I'm going to cry.

Minho watched as the symbol of the thunder arrow on the back of his left hand slowly fade away.

Now, standing at the border between nature and the city, I thought that the moment I took this step I would return from myself as an Indian young man and a nature-loving explorer to my normal self. And after a while, you'll forget most of the emotions you felt walking here.

"Thank you."

The blessing that an Indian warrior gave me to travel this region ended here. I thought maybe I wouldn't come back here if I didn't travel again.

‘Have a good life, Justin. Don't eat too much willow bark. The entrance to the dam was narrow as I gained weight. ’

In Minho's head, a sermon from the Cherokee reminded me.

- The best trip in life is one that answers questions you can't even imagine.

What questions I got and what answers I got.

I thought Minho still didn't know. It doesn't mean much, but I decided to put meaning into realizing the joy of traveling with nature.

Travel is about looking forward, not backward, and life is just a long journey.

‘I need to go inside the camp and report to the galaxy. Do you think he texted me every day? Now it's my turn to send it every day until after the galaxy service. Hehe ~’

The face of a lover who couldn't hear his voice for ten days.

“Five minutes over! Here we go! We're only an hour away, so cheer up! ”

Out of nature and into everyday life. Minho took a big step forward.

Sorry I'm late.

After my trip, I tried to cover the scenes, but the amount was vague and I moved on to the beginning of the next chapter. I think the next chapter will be about 10.
