4 Days Stranded in the Wilderness

I struggle to test my survival skills like Brian in the book Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. Thanks to Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's Canada for sponsoring this adventure. For this challenge, I will only have a hatchet, fishing line, and 5 lures. Surviving ALONE - Hatchet, Line, 5 Hooks Surviving After a Plane Crash ALONE - Hatchet, Line, 5 Hooks Surviving Like Brian in "Hatchet" (by Gary Paulsen) - Hatchet, Line, 5 Hooks Hatchet is a 1987 young-adult wilderness survival novel written by American writer Gary Paulsen. It is the first novel of five in the Hatchet series. Other novels in the series include The River (1991), Brian's Winter (1996), Brian's Return (1999) and Brian's Hunt (2003). Brian Robeson is the 13-year-old son of divorced parents. As he travels from Hampton on a Cessna 406 bush plane to visit his father in the oil fields of Northern Canada for the summer, the pilot suddenly suffers a massive heart attack and dies. Brian assumes control of the plane and makes an effort to land, but he runs out of fuel in the process, forcing him to attempt a ditching, and as a result, crash-lands into a lake in the middle of a vast forest. Brian survives the crash with only a few minor injuries. Throughout the summer, Brian learns how to survive on his own in the vast wilderness, with nothing but his windbreaker and a hatchet—a gift his mother gave him shortly before his plane departed. He discovers how to prepare a fire with the hatchet, and eats whatever food he can find, from rabbits and ruffed grouse – which he nicknames “fool-birds” – to turtle eggs, fish and berries. Simultaneously, he deals with many of Nature's dangers, including mosquitoes, a porcupine, two huge bears – one of which is a mother with her cubs, a pack of three wolves, a skunk, a bad-tempered female moose, and even a tornado. Over time, Brian develops his survival skills and becomes a fine woodsman. He crafts a bow, some arrows, and a fishing spear to aid in his hunting. He also fashions a shelter out of the underside of a rock overhang. During his time alone, Brian struggles with memories of home as well as the bittersweet memory of his mother, whom Brian had caught cheating on his father before their divorce. When a sudden tornado hits the area, it draws the tail of the plane toward the shore of the lake. This brings Brian to believe that there may be a survival pack of some description on the plane. He makes a raft from a few broken-off treetops to get to the plane, and when he cuts his way through the fuselage into the tail section, he drops his hatchet in the lake and dives in to get it. Once inside the plane, Brian finds a survival pack that includes an array of tools, additional food, an emergency transmitter, and a .22 AR-7 rifle. Back on shore, Brian activates the transmitter, but not knowing how to use it, he believes it is broken from water damage and tosses it aside. However, the distress beacon was still functional, and the signal is picked up by the pilot of a passing airplane, which he is rescued by.
