Hatchet ends shortly after a tornado passes through the area, moving the wreckage of his plane close to shore. While completely alone in the wilderness, he ponders his parent’s divorce, and thinks of how the feelings that developed after he caught his mother cheating conflict with his love for her. He discovers how to make fire, and crafts spears and bows through nothing but ingenuity and what he has. Throughout Hatchet, Brian uses nothing but his hatchet and his wits to survive all that comes his way, including starvation, dangerous animals, a tornado, and his own thoughts. Brian swims out of the wreck, the sole survivor, with nothing but a windbreaker and the hatchet his mother gave him as a parting gift. Midway through his flight over the Canadian wild lands, the pilot suffers a heart attack, and the plane crashes into a small lake in the middle of the wilderness.
