In chapter two, Brian is visited at his home by three men who are interested in learning about how he managed to survive in the woods for as long as he did. However, what astounds Brian is that the men do not just want a mere narration of how he did it; they want one of them to travel back into the woods with him and relive the experience. One of the men named Derek informs Brian that the three of them teach people survival skills for a living but have never encountered a real-life situation to practically test what they teach theoretically. The men leave but propose to return when Brian’s parents are home so as to explain further and seek their consent.
The author explains how the experience has changed Brian; he has become more alert and aware of his environment, he speaks less and appreciates food much more. His parents talk him into attending counseling sessions, but like everybody else, the counsellor hardly understands him. As the chapter ends, Brian is preparing pork chops and potatoes as he waits for his mother’s arrival.
