He starts to make a wood boat and he gets the survival pack. But while getting the pack he drops his hatchet in the lake and goes back for it. After picking up the hatchet, he sees something he never should have seen. Brian saw the pilot's head.

He found a freeze-dried meal which could be cooked fast and there were also an Emergency Transmitter which did not work even though Brian tried hard. When Brian was trying to cook the freeze-dried meal, an airplane lands on the lake to rescue Brian. I think this book is one of the best books I have ever read. It had some gross parts in the story and I grimaced my face several times, but over all this book was the kind of story I really like to read. I learned that surviving alone is really difficult and even though the story was fiction I think it could happen to me. Before I read the book, I never thought about living alone in the forest apart from my parents. After reading the book, I imagined my self living in the forest alone and I got some ideas how to survive in that situation. I am not sure if it would
This all happened when brain went back into to the plane and got the survival bag. When brian first got it he turned on the transmitter and didn't think it worked. Then a guy picked up the signal and then saved brain. So in conclusion Hatchet is a great book.

Nobody prepares for or expects to end up in this situation. To survive in the wilderness all alone with no prior training and no supplies except for a hatchet for fifty-four days is quite an extraordinary feat. This is exactly what thirteen year old Brian Robeson from Gary Paulsen’s book Hatchet accomplishes. His plane crashes and he manages to stay alive against all odds. After roughly two months, he is rescued and taken back to civilization.

In Gary Paulsen’s fascinating novel, Hatchet, Brian Robeson learns a very important lesson while stuck in the harsh Canadian Wilderness. Before he crashed he was a happy boy with his mom. He was on his way to the airport to visit his dad, but the plane he was traveling in, crashed. This is how he was stuck in the unfamiliar forest. He had to adapt to his surroundings because he was native to the city, not the forest.
It soon loses signal, and Brian is now alone. He is forced to pilot the plane until it runs out of fuel. It is not long before the tank falls empty, and Brian proceeds to crash-land into a lake in the Canadian wilderness and is now stranded.

To conclude, if Brian had not crashed in the middle of the Canadian wilderness, none of the plot would have happened, and Brian would have never learned to be so
