OUT: "...right wood".



German pilot Martin Hartwell talking to reporters about his survival in Canadian Arctic wastes after aircraft crash.



HARTWELL: "When he came back, two days later he decided to die. He didn't want to get up, and three more days later he was dead. Without him I couldn't have done anything."



REPORTER: What kind of things did he do for you, Sir, that saved your life?"



HARTWELL: "Well, first of all he was very, very scared. He couldn't do anything. I had to tell him everything. He couldn't handle an ace, he couldn't make fire, he didn't know where to find the right wood."
