Today we are going to learn what Brian, our friend stranded in the Canadian wilderness, ate in the forest! Brian talks about how hungry he was in the following section of the book Hatchet:

"And there came hunger. Brian rubbed his stomach. The hunger had been there but something else - fear, pain- had held it down. Now, with the thought of [a] burger, the emptiness roared at him. He could not believe the hunger, had never felt it this way... And there was, he thought, absolutely nothing to eat. Nothing."

Think for a minute. If you were Brian, what types of food could you eat in the wilderness? Remember, the only tool you have is a hatchet.
