...plane crash, has no one to talk to, to bray at, as he did to his harried underlings at work--no one to shore up his resolve or share his desperation. Well, all right. Chuck is a doer. So he will fashion tools, clothing, shelter; find food, draw cave paintings, make fire. He will replicate the ascent of man, all by his lonesome. He'll be Robinson Crusoe without Friday, Gilligan without the crew, Survivor without all those annoying other survivors...

His inner skankiness comes out when they fall into a snow cave and have to be rescued before succumbing to altitude sickness...
...inside and stay there for several months. From now on, if we venture out, we must wear gloves. Thanksgiving, with its bleak, drizzly gemutlichkeit and warm, unventilated smells of cooking, makes us as sleepy as bears and accommodates us to the idea of winter quarters in the cave.
