Luck?

I think the statement Brian made "His survival is dependent on luck more than anything else is." is actually true, and I agree with it. Even if he has all the tools he needs, he may not be able to live for so long. For example, if he was not lucky, he would've already died in the plane crash, and went down with the pilot and the plane together. Also, if he was not lucky, the bear he met could've killed him instead of picking the berries. Although luck is a very important part of letting Brian being able to live in the wilderness, his past experiences was also very important. If he didn't know how to make fire, he's probably already dead a long time ago, instead of living for such a long time. The knowledge of making fire is very important, and because Brian had it, he was able to make the fire, although he didn't succeed at his first try, but he still eventually succeeded. Also, he did develop new knowledge. Everyone would if they would have to live in the wilderness by themselves. For example, he learned not to be so careless. Also, before, when my mom was scolding at me, I got lucky how there was a patient that had to see her at that time, so I could sneak out of her clinic, and come back home. It was pretty embarrassing to let other people see me get scolded. So, to me, it's a difficult situation.
