    I’m looking for something where the main character/characters have to build things to survive and maybe hunt. Also world exploration is a big plus (new flora and fauna.)

    Vibe should be adventurous, and the genre doesn’t matter, it could be sci-fi, fantasy, etc.

    Below is a list of media that fit what I’m looking for:

    Book Examples:
    Robinson Crusoe,
    Swiss family Robinson,
    Hatchet

    Tv Examples:
    The 100(first 2 seasons),
    Lost in Space,
    Journey To The Center…,

    Manga Examples:
    Uninhabited Planet Survive,
    Kanata no Astra,
    7 Seeds,

    Any help and suggestions are appreciated.

      Gary Paulson (author of Hatchet) wrote a number of similar books that would also fit your description. Even some sequels to Hatchet.

      The Road by Cormac McCarthy might also fit. It’s a survival story about a father and son set in a postapocalyptic future. Fair warning the book is pretty bleak.
