Brian had left the map at the crash. Without it, he had no idea where to go. He stuck with Derek paddling him along the river, blindly. In the morning, out of no where, the sound of a barking dog came to Brian. With that came a little building. A boy ran out to help Brian, who was screaming on the inside. The boy got his parents who called for help and saved Brian and Derek. After the events, Brian realized that Derek would had made it even if Brian didn't get help.
