* Hatchet: This is the most obvious and important tool, a small but sharp single-bladed axe given to Brian by his father. He uses it for everything from chopping wood to making shelter to hunting.
* Pocketknife: Brian has a small pocketknife, which is essential for various tasks like cutting rope, preparing food, and carving.
* Matches: He has a pack of waterproof matches, critical for starting fires.
* Whistle: Brian carries a whistle for signaling in case of an emergency.
It's important to remember that Brian's survival skills are more important than his actual tools. He learns to use his wits and resourcefulness to overcome the challenges of the wilderness.
