In the middle of the book Brian finds a place to find shelter on the side of a rock. He also finds some food, Brian calls them choke cherries because he got really sick after he ate them. Good thing is that he finds some really good raspberries and he took a ton for himself.

One day when Brian was picking raspberries from a bush he saw a bear, screamed a little and ran away and looked back and it walked away. Also one day he just felt like he needed a fire to keep himself warm at night, so he used his hatchet to rub it against the rock, it took it a few times but he got it.
