How did the main character try to solve the problem? Give examples from the story.

Indeed, Sam’s first days in the wild, including on his family’s old property, are a meal-to-meal, day-to-day struggle for survival. Slowly, over time, as Sam adjusts to the new landscape, he begins to establish himself and does not have to survive on a day-to-day basis. He builds a permanent shelter out of a tree, and begins to cook and smoke meats and fish for storage and future consumption. As time goes on, Sam is able to acquire vast stores of foodstuffs, ranging from meats and fish to nuts, berries, and fruit –all for consumption in the coming winter. He also comes to develop a bed to sleep on, clothing formed from deerskin, and even a raft to navigate the stream beyond the property, for collecting food and getting across the water.
