As he learns how to survive, basically by trial and error,
Brian Robeson learns what items will be valuable to him in the long run, and those which
will not. The first item he gathers and "stores" is wood. He knows he needs a shelter,
and learns after his first shelter leaks, that he needs to reinforce it. Once he
discovers a method to start a fire, wood and kindling are something he notably always
has on hand. He also thinks to gather a pile on a bluff for which to make a signal
fire.
Because berries seem plentiful (and are certainly
better when ripe) Brian does not necessarily gather and store these for later. He does,
however, refrain from eating all of the turtle eggs he finds, and stores some in a
hole. When all of his buried eggs are one night stolen by a skunk, Brian realizes he
needs a plan for longer food provision. He figures out a way to lure, trap, and
essentially store live fish.
