It was a bleak January day, he had left Calumet Camp to go up in between Paul Creek and Cherry Creek.
-
He was a young fellow, big-bond and big- muscled, with faith in himself.
-
He could barely chew his food because his hands were numb.
-
When he broke through the ice and the cold water strikes his feet and ankles. The only thing he could do was build a fire.
-
The falling action is when he is fighting for his life, He tries to build a fire under the tree and the snow burns it out
-
The man begins his journey to find his other friends
