Brian is the best thing he has because he is the one who can decide what will happen to him. He could just kill himself, or he could get motivated and try to survive in the woods. Brian has to learn how to work with what he has and what he knows using his brain to plan everything out. It is very important that Brian takes value in his body, because he drank water from the lake using his hands as a cup to drink the water. If he didn’t drink the water he would have already died of thirst. To survive in the woods Brian needs to have confidence in everything he does. Or else he might as well just sulk all day long, sit under the tree and do nothing. The last thing he has to do is to remember what Mr. Perpich said about staying on top of things and always be positive!
