Brian is going to meet his dad, so he need to go on a plane called Cessna 406 as the co-pilot. This plane was used by his mom. Brian does't know the pilots name though. Then they got on the plane and set off. There was not much to do though so he look out the window there were greens and blues, he got to try flying the plane too, the thought about lawyers, and how he hates them, and the pilot got pain in his stomach that he didn't mind but it got worse and worse until he had a heart attack, Brian freaks out, he tries to calm down. He was alone. After that he tried to contact the airline but it was static. Then he made a plan he would plan what to do if the fuel runs out for 30 mins, then try the radio. He desides to land on lake that come by.
The fuel suddenly runs out and now he is in free fly, he freaked out at first, but remembered to stay calm, he looked desperately for a lake to land in but there was none insight. he found one and hit... he struggled out the planes windows and made it on land but fainted... the next thing he knew this head was hurting like someone pounded it with a hammer, mosquitoes was swarming him he tried to swat them but failed. The mosquitoes bitten him so much that his eyes were swollen! But in the evening he fell asleep and woke up at dawn. He was very very thirsty, he looked for a river, but couldn't find any, so he went to the lake where the plane crashed... The thought came flooded back about the crash, but he needed to drink water, so he drank... drank so much water that he was vomiting it out. He was not thirsty anymore but hungry he tried to stay positive, he thought the rescue team will find him tomorrow, but than thought what if the never find him, he will survive he said, But he was still hungry, but fell asleep, before he could do anything.
When he woke up the next day he remembered his friend Terry, they once talked about what they would do if the were trapped in a forest, and remember Terry saying something about shelter... That's it! he needed a shelter and started to make one, and he did then fell asleep .When he woke up He was very hungry, he limped to the lake to drink water and numb it but it only sharpened it. He needed food and looked around for it then saw a bush he walked there still very hungry, he still kept in-sight the shelter he made just so he didn't get lost. When he reach the bushes he saw big cherry like fruits/berries ate one it was made his mouth numb, but food as food... But he was so hungry that he grabbed a handful and stuffed it in his mouth and chewed and swallowed everything even the pits, until he couldn't eat more. Then I returned home, and slept... until in the middle of the night he woke up to a pain in his stomach a lot of pain like the pits ripping and tearing his inside and vomited in the shelters good sand and had diarrhea for an HOUR. but fell asleep. The next day he woke up cleaned everything and named the berries gut cherry. He was still hungry though so he went and looked at the gut cherries again they were darker like they were ripe so he ate some carefully spitting the pits out this time the were sweeter but still numb. He returned home. Cried and had self pity. Then he pulled himself together and were to get fire wood, but when he got to a place he saw bushes thorny. He remeber this bushes back home... Raspberries! he felt so rich he ate some the were so sweet, tangy. he gathered a lot of them and put them in the windbreaker. We he was ready to leave he turned around and saw... a BEAR! it stood there then simples walked away and ate some berries. he went as fast as he could to leave on the way back he thought about the bear. The bear didn't want him, it didn't mind to share, after reaching the shelter, he sorted the berries and ate some too, then went to sleep.
Grrrrowl he woke up to a growling sound the was a shadowy figure in the middle of the night, he grabbed the hatchet and threw it as hard as he could and it make a lot of sparks at the same time he felt a hundred nail piercing into his legs he screamed and sat down it pain but managed to sleep. The next day he woke up to quills in his leg, and saw the hatchet near him it was chipped. His only tool was damage he pulled the quills out it was painful. After that he thought of making fire and remember that the hatchet made sparks and for the rest of the day he tried to make fire, and did. Then he ate some berries and slept, but woke up in the middle of the night to the sounds of splashing water he held the hatchet close. The next day he looked outside and when to the lake and found damp sand he dug and found eggs! Then the sound was a turtle. he ate one it was bad , but ate another and another one and then he didn't mind the taste. He saved the rest. Then remembered that he still needs to hope that he will be rescued.
Brian then put the eggs in the shelter, and had fun cleaning up, he left the windbreaker to dry. Then he noticed he got depressed so to cheer him back up he went to an area where he could see everything and that made him feel better. Then he saw the lake. What's in a lake fisssssshhhh. Food! He had no equipment thought so he got some raspberries, fire wood, made a spear, and more. And as a treat for all the hard, rough work he did he ate/drank a turtle egg, it was real deliciously in his mind. Then he heard a loud noise, the PLANE noise, he did everything to grab its attention, but it just felt. From then on he knew no one would come for him.
He stood at the long part of the lake looking at the fish. He didn't want the fish though he wanted the fool birds, they were stupid so he want to eat one. He let his eyes and ears do all the work. But saw a bear it walked away, then a wolf he knew that they owed him, so he smiled and nodded at it. and it left and the other wolfs that were hiding came out and walked away. That night he felt emotions, sadness, self-pity, angry, and depression. This made him go mad and tried to end himself, but couldn't he fell... asleep. He woke up as a new Brian he was confident, strong, and capable of anything! He made a new fire, caught a fish, cooked it and had a greeat meal! and went to sleep, but was awaken to a skunk stealing his eggs. But is was cute so he watched it instead of killing it. But a skunk is a skunk so it sprayed him in the eyes he scearmed! the skunk ran away! He blindly limped to the lake and washed for 2 hour he thought he went blind, but thankfully he wasn't. The next morning he thought to make a place to put the eggs somewhere not in the shelter. so he made a ladder and went to a tall rock he climbed up and there was a lot of bird poo. he carefully cleaned it of with two sticks. Then put the eggs up there. And ate one as a treat. He remembered when he was cleaning the birds insides, and when he throw the waste in the small fish came in packs to eat it, so he used his knowledge and trapped them, then joked around saying ""Fresh Fish, Fresh Fish for sale!
It's been three to four weeks and he knows time is not important. He is tired of eating fish, and raspberries. So the fool birds were next to hunt. He barely found one flock the were camouflaged and he needed to only see the outline to hunt. For the rest of the chapter he was trying new and different way to hunt them, and eventually got one he cleaned it, and roasted in on the fire. It was the best meat he has very eaten!
It has been a lot of days, had he has been eating birds, and rabbits. And made a better bow. And now he is on a hunt he got a bird and went to clean it and saw a moose. The moose ran at him knocking him into the lake.it pulled him up and down left right, and then left. He limped home he probably broke some ribs. That night there was a tornado! it ripped the shelter, put out the fire. and hurt Brian, and left But Brian laughed and said that's it? Then I went to sleep. when he woke he saw the plane the plane came up during the tornado and it filled him with sadness.
The next day he rebuilt everything and went to sleep. The next day he ate some fish and then thought of making a raft for the plane project to get the servival pack, so he made one, and until the evening he was pushing it to the plane, he thought it would be light. so he ate some fish and went to bed, the next day he made it to the plane and saw the pilots hair, stop thinking came to his mind. He need the pack or bag. So he punched the plane it made a dent so he used the hatchet to make a triangle that he could fit in as he finished he let the hatchet drop and almost drowned while trying to get it. But when he went in he saw the fish eating the pilot!, he jerked bag and found the bag. And swam out! It took him 2 1/2 to reach home with it. And fell a speel instantly.
The next day he woke up and took everything out and found a gun, cooking items, transmitter which he ones and more, there was lots of food! and had would have a feast then start to save, but plane noises came and a plane came for him the pilot explained, and Brian explained themselves.
