Find water immediately!
Water is essential to surviving in the wilderness. The body can only survive a few days without water, depending on where you are or even how old you are. Brian is lucky to find a lake very quickly after the plane crash. It is also water that he can drink. It's not always safe to drink water in the wilderness. Look out for running water, gather rainwater, or carry water purification tablets.
“It was water. But he did not know if he could drink it. Nobody ever told him if you could or could not drink lakes.”
