okay :)
sure!.!.!.here you go!!

Brian Robeson is stranded alone in the Canadian wilderness after the pilot of the single-engine Cessna plane in which he is traveling suffers a fatal heart attack!. Brian is forced to crash-land the plane and escapes just as it sinks in a remote lake!.

Brian figures out how to make fire!. He forces himself to eat whatever food he can find, such as turtle eggs, fish, berries, and even a couple of birds!. He deals with a porcupine, bear, skunk, moose, and a tornado!. He eventually becomes quite a craftsman, crafting a bow, arrows, and a spear!. He also fashions a shelter out of the underside of a rock overhang!. During the story, he struggles with memories of home, and the bittersweet memory of his mother, who Brian has discovered was having an affair with another man!.

When a tornado hits the woods and lake, it draws the plane wreckage toward the surface of the water!. Brian crafts a raft from a few broken off tree tops to get to the plane!. When Brian is working his way into the plane, he drops his hatchet in the water!. He realizes how critical the hatchet is for his survival!. After diving twice, he retrieves the hatchet and narrowly avoids drowning!. Inside the plane, he finds a survival pack, which has a transmitter, packs of food, and a AR-7 (!.22 survival rifle)!. Brian unknowingly activates the transmitter, but he thinks it is broken!. As he is digging into the food packs, a fur trader arrives in a water plane!. Finally, after reaching his father, he is no closer to being able to tell him about the mother's affair than at the novel's beginning!.

In an alternate ending sequel, Brian's Winter, the novel supposedly ends with having Brian not yet rescued, and with winter looming ahead!. He was in the woods for 54 days!.
