Chapter 807 Successful Ride
Plans never keep up with changes.
Bi Fang originally planned to get ready on June 1, but he underestimated the time required to train a camel. Although he had plenty of patience for the matter itself, he was slightly short of time.
Fortunately, the training results were impressive. This performance made Bi Fang decide to stick to it and wait for two more days.
If you can get a camel, you can shorten the crossing time to about two months, which is still plenty of time.
When No. 1 came, the camel's lying down training had just ended. In the evening, after nearly three days of training, Bifang was able to make the camel obey his instructions to lie down and walk without blindfolding. and some degree of physical contact.
At least when eating, Bifang would reach out and touch the camel without causing resistance or suddenly kicking him.
The cost of doing this is that Bifang needs to spend an hour every day looking for enough food to fill the camels. If he hadn't found a wild melon field nearby, it would have been a bit difficult.
"The time has come to test the results."
Bi Fang took a deep breath and stared at the camel standing quietly in front of him with a serious expression.
In addition to the lying training, another important result of these three days is that the camel has developed the habit of not resisting and escaping as long as the rope is tied to the stake.
"After you have done enough training on holding and lying, you can start to try riding. This is the most critical and dangerous step."
"Because you don't know how the camel will react. It may become a crazy horse, or it may become an excellent mount. It's possible."
Hearing this, the audience, who had seen the effectiveness of camel training, couldn't help but become nervous again.
Bi Fang reached out and stroked the camel's flank. When he did this action on the first day, he still needed to keep a close eye on the camel's limbs, but it was no longer necessary.
As much physical contact as possible will allow the animal to get used to the behavior and not be disgusted by it.
If the technique is advanced enough, animals can even be made to like this behavior.
"Anyway, considering that I fed it so much food, I hope it will be merciful and not kick me."
[Camel: I'm tired of eating big fish and meat. Let's get something fresh. 】
[To be honest, I got nervous too]
[Honestly, I can’t imagine a camel turning into a crazy horse]
[The Western Camel Boy makes his debut, let me see how many seconds this player can last]
Bi Fang pressed down with one hand, and the camel knelt down on the ground very obediently.
This scene has happened many times, and it gave everyone a little more confidence.
"The first step in riding is to make the camel lie down and gently press the camel's reins from the inside. After you ride on it, slowly loosen the camel's reins and let the camel stand up."
"If you don't train in this way at the beginning, the camel will develop the habit of jumping up and falling from a height of two meters. Although it is not fatal in most cases, it is still easily injured, and the camel may also be frightened. If you One step on it and it’s over.”
[Honestly, you can ride a Bactrian camel in the middle of the hump, but how do you ride a dromedary? The front seems to be too far forward, and the back seems to fall off easily]
[Indeed, I have never ridden one, but it feels strange to think about it. Would it be uncomfortable to ride on a hump? 】
"Actually, what you are talking about is the front and back, or even right above the hump."
"The camel's hump is essentially a piece of fat, which is very resistant like our buttocks. You won't feel pain when you sit on it, and the dromedary has a very strong bearing capacity. The weight-bearing capacity of a camel is only 150 It weighs more than 1 kilogram, even two adults can do it.”
Bi Fang stared at the camel's back, and after a few simple explanations, he gently pulled the reins, pressed it down, pressed the camel's head, and then stepped on the side of the camel's saddle nervously.
Although today is the first day of riding training, I was not unprepared before.
After the relationship between the two parties became more familiar, Bi Fang began to lay a long towel on the camel's back, and then slowly put more weight on it. Finally, he made a camel saddle by himself, so that the camel could gradually become familiar with the feeling of having foreign objects or even heavy objects on its back.
When Bifang stepped on the wooden stirrup, the camel snorted, and everyone in front of the screen was frightened, but then the camel stopped moving.
Bi Fang was not a person who liked ink marks. Since he was mentally prepared, he simply stepped on the stirrup and climbed onto the back of the camel.
This time the camel made a strange move. It tried to lift its front legs to support its body, but Bifang immediately pulled the reins and pressed down hard, suppressing the camel's attempt to get up. Only a few movements made the camel lie down again. .
But the snorting snort undoubtedly proved the camel's inner uneasiness at this time. Bifang was not impatient or rushed to act. Instead, he patiently held up the camel's neck to keep it calm.
This move was very effective. After about a quarter of an hour, the camel became quiet again.
【A little exciting】
[Diao, the first time I saw someone tame a wild animal was a camel]
[I really started to wonder if there are any skills that Fang Shen doesn’t know]
[Mainly because it’s so fast, it’s effective in three days]
"Wild camels and domestic camels are like wolves and dogs. The dromedary wild camel is theoretically extinct, but there are still many dromedary wild camel groups that can be seen in the Sahara. They are like wild dogs and have never been tamed again. of the basics.”
"Cows, sheep, horses, pigs, and other animals that were domesticated early on are not too difficult to tame. If it takes a lot of time, how did the first person who tried know that they could be tamed?"
"It's more of a coincidence, plus the low cost of taming. Through trial and error, humans have discovered these animals with relatively docile personalities."
Bifang shook his body, pulled the reins, and stopped pressing the camel's head, but tried to make it stand.
"Oh, hoo."
When a giant beast over two meters tall stood up and his sight suddenly rose, even a calm Bifang couldn't help but roar.
Not fear, but excitement.
Over two meters high, feeling the breath of the remaining giant beast, gently shaking, the feeling of floating and shaking, it is impossible to imagine without experiencing it yourself.
[Invincible! ! ! ! ]
[Prince Mu gave the anchor a yacht *666-Can even demons raise this thing? 】
【Soul-searching question】
【That depends on whether the house is big enough】
【Even if it is not big enough, you can put it in the club! 】
【Goudan has a new companion again!! 】
【Ace Special Forces presents the anchor with a spaceship*1】
Bifang calmed down his excitement and continued: "After standing up, follow the direction it wants to go, control the nose to move left or right, don't force it too much, and don't hit the head. In short, everything is based on stability and adaptation."
"If you can let it follow the camel rider and gently pull the reins, it will be easiest to tame. Having a 'role model' can help the camel understand its situation and the meaning of its behavior."
"If you see other livestock preparing to lie down, you should quickly hit it and run to the side. If you let it lie down and then get down to lead it, it will not want to walk when it sees the herd in the future."
Bifang did not control the direction, but let the camel walk freely as he said.
Freely strolling on the red land.
