Surviving Bear Island by Paul Greci

“You never know, son, but in case something happens and you get into a pinch, it doesn’t hurt to be prepared.  It’s unlikely, but in case we find ourselves separated from each other or from our gear, at least you’ll have something.”  This is what Tom’s dad says as he gives him a survival kit.  Tom groans and complains, but shoves it into his pocket anyway.  Little does he know that it’ll be his saving grace after he and his father are in a kayak accident and Tom is stranded on Bear Island, in the remote Alaskan wilderness, alone.
