In the first book he had to learn how to fish and hunt and ect, by himself.

In both books it says how Brian misses his love ones and how he felt about them. He changed in both books. From I hate it here too I love it here. He learned how to fit into the wilderness and treat it like he was a part of it. What sums it all up is that Brian was a hard working and young man he survived a crash that most people would have died
