I can offer a little insite. Where the plane ended up in the water is approx 1/2 mile from the glacier that feeds it. Brrr. The cabin had no firewood or woodstove in it anymore(nor anything else). The survival gear went down in the plane. I am not sure but I don't believe he had any edc on him. We had approx 3 ft of snow recently so finding firewood is diifficult. He is really lucky. Hope that helps akraven in alaska
