The Hatchet

Brian Robertson, sole passenger on a Cessna 406, is on his way to visit his father when the tiny bush plane crashes in the Canadian wilderness. With nothing but his clothing, a tattered windbreaker and the hatchet his mother had given him as a present, Brian finds himself completely alone.
Challenged by his fear and despair — and plagued with the weight of a dreadful secret he's been keeping since his parent's divorce — Brian must tame his inner demons in order to survive. It will take all his know-how and determination, and more courage than he knew he possessed.

Hatchets are often described as a small axe that can be utilized with the use of one hand rather than two. Featuring a handle that is often half the length of a standard axe handle, the hatchet is a handy tool that can be used for a number of smaller jobs, such as cutting through thick shrubs or small limbs. Along with use in woodcutting, the hatchet has historically been used for other tasks around the home, as well as a weapon.
