For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

My 4th grade teacher read a chapter to the class every day, same with the sequel. I specifically remember the part where he was standing outside naked in winter and some tree bark just kinda exploded, and he was freaking out trying to decide if the freezing bark caused it to expand and explode or if a hunter was out there shooting bullets at him. Also, the part where he finds an orange-drink packet in the survival supplies of the plane and describes the taste of it.

Edit: I think the tree bark part was in the sequel, Brian's Winter.

It was the sequel, and he's not naked. He realized when one exploded infront of him and a (frozen) fragment got lodged in his hood

I must be combining scenes, but I distinctly remember one where it was made a point that he was naked at a point.

You're dragging my memory back something like 20 years, but I feel like there was one he decided to get naked in summer and just stop for a few minutes. Nothing life threatening at that moment.

Could have been one of the 3 times he was warned winter was coming, but he was too distracted.
