The opening of the narrative introduces the hardships faced by Mackenzie and his team, including extreme weather conditions and the challenges of building shelters in the wilderness. Mackenzie also reflects on interactions with Indigenous communities, showcasing their customs, the state of the fur trade, and their relationships with newcomers.
