Did Hatchet change the way you feel about nature, or about wilderness places? After reading the book, do you feel more inclined to spend time out in the natural world? Less inclined?

Brian really has a steep learning curve when he enters the Canadian wild. He must learn that nature must be respected if he is to survive. This question really depends on how you feel. I was captivated by the beauty and danger that nature had in the story. The rough and rawness of the wilderness was appealing to me. You, however, might think differently.
