Lin Yu'an wasted no time and immediately began his "new equipment" production plan.
He first carefully inspected the chainsaw chain, which was about sixty to seventy centimeters long. Apart from the broken end, the other teeth were very sharp, with no obvious rust.
The preparation for the bowback was more painstaking. He entered the forest near the shelter again, carefully searching for suitable trees and branches.
Ultimately, he chose a birch tree with a diameter of about four centimeters for the bowback.
"The wood for the bowback must have good toughness to withstand tension without breaking when tightening the saw chain."
He cut down this approximately 1.2-meter birch rod, carefully stripped off the bark after returning to the camp, and began to shape it with fire.
Slowly roasting it, using the softened characteristics of the wood fibers to gradually bend it into a full "C" arc.
Tied and fixed its ends with a few nylon ropes picked up, then set it aside to cool and settle.
