Because a C152 is about the easiest thing to land outside of a kite, even in a crosswind.
I highly recommend you read this book before you go any further in your flying career:

makes a knife fight in a phone booth (remember those?) look like boxing ring.

Back in the military they would always give us a 38 handgun when we went TDY...just in case we were shot down over Russia!
We all decided we'd use it to shoot ourselves, if we ever had to ditch in the north Atlantic or over the Kamchatka in January!

Yeah, I believe it. I did a 3-day layover in Petropavlovsk, Kamchatka, not January, but last week of April. Snowed, every night, but it did drizzle during the day. Slowly melting snow was hip deep in the "park". Russian girls in miniskirts looked great in the morning; covered in mud from the street puddles at lunch in the MickieD's. Another day, I would have been looking for a .38, maybe a .45 to ensure success.
Good thing the next stop was Tahiti!
