The Plane:
The first scene is the plane, where Brian in headed to Canada to see his dad. This is important because if it was not a small plane with only two people, it is less likely that when the Pilot had a heart attack that the plane would be crashed with no one knowing where it was.

The Forrest:
The rest of the novel takes place in the forrest where the plane crashed. It is surrounded by trees and there is an "L" shaped lake. This setting is important because it is where the story took place, but also provided Brian with food, shelter, and water.
