Plane
Cessna 406 Bush Plane was the plane model Brian flew in. After the pilot had a heart attack Brian had to pilot the plane all by himself. The plane that Brian was in had also driven off course a bit and it has been like that for hours so Brian was way off course. And Brian had to decided where he wanted to land because the fuel was almost gone, lucky he chose the right spot.
L Shaped Lake
This is where Brian's plane landed in well landing such an understatement crashing was more like it, it was L shaped lake. He woke up and felt dehydrated and this was his only source of water. This also gave him a source of fish. And without the lake the fur buyer/ trader would have no where to land. Also this lake was a the reason Brian survived the crash and if he moved his plane slightly from the left his plane could have smashed into rocks.
Woods/Forest
This is where Brian's journey got the hardest. Here he encountered wolves,porcupine,birds, turtles, bears and even a moose. Not only are there animals but there are also natural disasters like a tornado. This place is pretty dangerous for an adult but even more for an 13 year old kid
