Old Chen unearthed quite a bit of dry wood from a corner of the camp.
"In the summer, I buried these wet branches in the soil. After a few months, they turned into dry wood."
This is the preparation Old Chen mentioned.
Going into the mountains, dry wood is very important.
Because of the high humidity at the bottom of the valley, regular firewood simply won't catch fire.
Old Chen, busy lighting a fire, somehow came up with an iron pot and set it over the fire.
According to Old Chen, old things like these are more useful when going into the mountains.
The small cooking gear of mountaineering equipment, small pots and small bowls, aren't enough to fill a tooth gap.
After busying for more than an hour, the campsite started to look decent.
Old Chen's bonfire was very particular—the flames weren't large, but it was very warm.
Several tents were set up, and people gathered around the campfire to have dinner.
