Long Answer

1. Brian gains knowledge from careful observation of his surroundings, like when he fashions snowshoes based on his observations of the rabbits. He also relies on information that he had before coming to the wilderness, thinking back to television shows he watched and things he learned in school to understand the behavior of wolves, for instance, or the reason that the trees are making the popping sound as they freeze. (Various chapters)

2. Brian is not immediately perfect at everything he tries, but he keeps working until he gets things right. For instance, he needs to keep tweaking the snowshoes’ design to make them work efficiently. Another example is that his first set of weapons is not sturdy enough to defend his camp, so he makes a stronger bow and then adds a lance. (Various chapters)
