Brian's Winter

Ever since his crash Brian has been living in the wilderness trying to survive. He has a hatchet at his side. However while going back to the airplane and checking to see any materials he found a survival pack. In this pack there holds a hunting knife, a compass, a rifle (gun) with 50 shells available, pots and pans, a first aid kit with scissors, a cap with the logo "CESSNA", fishing line with lures and hooks, and packets of dried out food. Unfortunately he already finished the packets of food in the first week because it was too good for him to resist.

Fortunately those packets weren't Brian's only source of food. He would have to just hunt for the food himself. This means any animals around the area. The only animals in this forest that Brain is in is rabbits, foolbirds, wolves, deer, bear, and moose. Or at least those are the only animals that are mentioned in this book. Brian has already become fond with the wolves and the wolves don't hurt him, however the bear is something to worry about. The rabbits and foolbirds are the most common in this forest and that is what Brian mostly eats. But dont forget about the moose and deer.

Eventually Brian started to notice the climate change in the area. This includes how it has recently become colder and the sky isn't always shining bright. There is usually gray clouds in this time. Also the rifle that Brian had can no longer be used because the point where the gun is supposed to be shot from is broken. That is why he is now resorting to a bow. He already has a bow, but the one he made isn't very strong and is light. Now if he had a larger bow it could strike into the animals easier and he wouldn't have to watch them die their deaths slowly.

Later on in the story Brian finds a dead deer carcass that some wolves have already eaten off of. He takes the rest of the body and then uses it as food. However he also takes the hide and horns off to make clothing and tools for himself. After that Brian doesn''t go outside of his shelter for a month because he had all the meat he needed inside of it. After a month Brian encounters a moose. It is during this time that Winter has come and there is snow all around him. As soon as the moose notices Brian it tries to headbutt him. However Brian grabs his spear and it goes right through the moose killing it.

With the meat that the moose provided Brian he can last a whole 6 months without having to hunt outside. That is if he only eats 5 pounds per day. Even though Brian killed the animal he promised that he would use every part of the moose and wouldn't waste it. That is why he took off the horns and then ripped the hide. With the horns he made some tools and with the hide he made clothing. This includes a jacket that was as heavy as 35 pounds. As well as a hoodie for the jacket. It felt comfortable whenever he wore the hoodie and jacket because it was warm.

Along with the hoodie and jacket Brian also made snow shoes that were based from rabbits because lately he's been seeing them a lot and noticed that have larger feet to stay on top of the snow. After a few weeks Brian suddenly hears exploding sounds or loud noises. He wonders where these noises came from and then he goes ahead and finds footprints near the lake. He looks closely and realizes they are very similiar to a human's. That is why he follows the footprints. While following the footprints he see's wolf prints so he doesn't know what to expect. At the end he finds a tent with a native American inside of it and dogs on the side of the tent (6 of them). The man greets Brian and tells him to come inside the tent, The End.
