So what OP? He went into the wilderness wanting to survive on his own. At least he tried and didn't bother anyone save for his parents by perishing in the Alaskan bush

>>81815338
Love the guy, the book, and the movie

Dude has been an inspiration to me for decades

RIP the last true American hero

>>81815338
thing is, he wasn't a poser. he actually said fuck society and meant it and died alone in the wilderness.

gotta give him props for that.

>>81817319
Say the thing instead of circling around.I did see the movie and understand it.It wasn't some deep movie that someone would be unable to understand.

why didn't he just walk to the road and look for a bridge??

>>81817246
>who can't even plan his shit
His plan was to survive in the wilderness with the little equipment he had. Not indefinitely, but for some time, but he just happened to die before he felt like leaving

>>81817152

Attention Possible Visitors. S.O.S. I need your help. I am injured, near death, and too weak to hike out. I am all alone, this is no joke. In the name of God, please remain to save me. I am out collecting berries close by and shall return this evening. Thank you, Chris McCandless. August?

"McCandless' journal documents 113 days in the area. In July, after living in the bus for three months, he decided to head back to civilization, but the trail was blocked by the swollen Teklanika River; the watercourse by that stage was considerably higher and swifter than when he'd crossed in April. McCandless did not have a detailed topographical map of the region and was unaware of a hand-operated tramway that crossed the river eight-tenths of a mile away from where he had previously crossed."

>>81817393
That right there is inefficient and shit tier planning.That or he was suicidal in which case it was terrible way to off himself which again leads to the fact that he was a shit tier planner.

>>81815621
Same boat. You know we are just going to have to get a shitty job and work 8 hours a day like every one else if we want to live in this world. You can't be a NEET forever. I just hope in your neetdom you weren't one of those retards who constantly made fun of wage slaves while taking yourself seriously.

>>81815338
Best part is if he had walked up river he would have lived.

Life is not precious. Anyone who felt anything for him or who has ever felt anything for anybody because they died is a fucking retard.

>>81817503
he didnt give a shit about planning. what dont you understand about that? pay attention next time

>>81817556
So why would he be an inspiration? Literally anyone can do what that guy did most wouldn't even die.

>>81817327
why didn't he just use the eagles to get to safety

>>81817617
why be inspired by anything? i guess there are just people out there with a less one dimensional mindset than yourself

>>81817649
Because the government would see the eagles coming from miles away and shoot them down, you moron

I thought it was a good scene, because it clearly illustrated that he was in fact homosexual.

He couldn't deal with it, so he ran away to the forest.

He died because he didn't prepare..

There is ''exploring nature, and yourself'', and then there is ''walking into nature with a death wish''

If you are looking for the latter, you should also watch Sea of trees instead.

>>81817372
The thing most people don't seem to realize about McCandless story is that he realized he was wrong near the end. His last notes are all about how true happiness is only found with other people.

That's the lesson and inspiration message: your relationships with other people are what's really important. He threw his life away running away from other people because he wanted to prove himself, only to realize he was only happen when he was with other people.

why didn't he just hotwire the bus and drive home?

McCandless is a faggot who only appeals to tumblr-tier pseudo-intellectuals. He was a self-absorbed cunt who didn't give a shit about naturalism as evidenced by the fact that he shat all over the environment and those who preserve it on his little suicide outing into Alaska, combined with the fact that he was either too stupid or too lazy (perhaps both) to learn even a semblance of survival skills. Poached a moose and was too incompetent to preserve it, meaning he killed the animal for nothing. Was so incompetent at navigation that he couldn't use the map he had to figure out there was a hand-operated tram crossing the river he almost drowned in about a half mile away from where he attempted to cross. Oh and the bus he died in? It's literally only 10-20 miles into the "wilderness", all that idiot would have needed to do was build a large signal fire and the park service and fire department would have been there in a matter of hours.

Complete idiot who gives actual survivalists a bad name, but then again I guess guys like Dick Proenneke >>81817327 aren't mopey and brooding enough to draw in the "yeah i went hiking once.......it really changed me maaaan....." morons who identify with McCandless.

The dude was a fairly experienced woodsman. He just got unlucky, didn't plan enough, and made one critical error.

Any human being can do that, even a genius.

>>81817820
This.

There is just a bunch of angsty teenage boys who can't deal with high-school in this thread atm.

>>81817843
>The dude was a fairly experienced woodsman
no he wasn't. the only reason he even lasted as long as he did was cause he brought a sack of rice with him into the woods. his skills consisted of shooting porcupines and rabbits and the funny part is he was so ill informed that he didn't even realize eating on lean small game will give you protein poisoning aka rabbit starvation

>>81817728
To be fair, he was able to live on his own for years before he went to Alaska. In college he would go on extended trips to different places, and between his graduation and going to Alaska, he spent a couple of years living in the desert. Before going to Alaska, he did ask outdoorsmen in South Dakota for advice, but none of them had been there before so he got shit advice.

I'm not defending the guy's choices, but he knew plenty about how to live in the wild. The movie glosses over a lot of it, but he hadn't gotten trapped by the river, he would have lived. Even experienced outdoorsmen get killed by shitty luck and small mistakes all the time.

>>81817838
Why are you upset kek?

>>81817820
If you can't find happiness by yourself, you won't find it anywhere. His happiness was dependent on another and obviously when there is no other, there is no happiness.

The funny part is he never actually went that far into the wilderness.

There's literally a small town called Lake Minchumina that's further "into the wild" than he went. It probably only took the dude an afternoon of hiking to get to that bus lmao

>>81817838
Dick is a man's man. Tremendous respect for the guy and what he's achieved, along with the respect he showed to his surroundings. But I don't blame people who identify with McCandless, even if he was too idealistic for his own good. A lot of people (especially on this site) don't belong in today's society and have dreams of fucking off with a backpack and some books. Thoreau did the same in the 1850s and wrote Walden about it. Kaczinski was so enamored with the idea of coming back to nature that he wrote a manifesto about it and sent bombs to universities as publicity. As far as I know, we don't know why Dick fucked off. Thoreau did it for the hell of it and came back saying it wasn't an answer, that community was more important than he thought. McCandless had the same realization before he literally withered (the movie clearly shows that he manages to create incredible bonds with the people around him as he progresses, so I think Penn agrees with that conclusion).

But I still want to do it someday. Even if the result is that the romantic thoughts disappear, at least I'll have tried it. At this point in my life, fucking off is pretty attractive.

>>81817505
Nah just a dude that has had some severely bad moments in his life that has made living a normal life next to impossible since I was twelve.

>>81819155

I guess I agree. But he was a moron for not getting any of that willing 16yr old virgin poontang. Especially since the movie makes it clear that the neighbors and parents all wanted him to fuck her.

>>81819239
He was obviously a massive queer, look at any of the actual pictures of him. His facial expressions and body language are gay as fuck.

>>81817843
didn't he eat a bunch of poisonous berries and die like a retard slowly and painfully in the Alaskan wilderness?

>>81819239
There's more to life than pussy nigger. Underaged pussy he barely knew no less.
He couldn't just bang her and keep on truckin, and truckin seemed more attractive to him. Continuing his spiritual journey was worth more to him in that moment than banging an overattached underaged chick and sticking around with hippies, because he hadn't found what he was looking for yet.

Hell, he left the old guy who saw himself as his father figure behind. They had developed an insanely strong bond, the old guy was crying in his truck, and McCandless knew this, and he still fucked off. That would be more difficult to me than just passing up on pussy.

>>81819494

Why not? It was a hippie commune after all. Seems like sex with no strings attached was pretty much the common idea.

Yes i was just thinking about movies where nature wins. And i remember seeing this piece of shit TRANSLATED INTO SPANISH (thanks ugly ass foreign exchange spaniards).
I was fucking cringing the whole fucking movie and he finally dies and i was the only one laughing.

Let's pretend his passion was Nascar driving...

Christopher McCandless sets off, from California in an old car he rebuilt himself (he replaced the fenders and painted it), on a trip to the Daytona 500. He only gets across the state line when he runs out of fuel because he forgot to fill it up. Instead of simply walking to the nearest gas station or flagging down help he decides to push his car over an embankment and set it on fire. He then proceeds to walk on foot to the nearest car lot (which happens to be in Mexico for some reason, mostly because he burned up his map in the car and he's been taking backroads.) He finds an old bicycle in a garbage dump and uses that.

He finally gets to the car lot and buys a fixer-upper for $50. Before leaving the car lot he has to change a tire, which he replaces with the solid rubber donut. He buys fuel and heads off to the Daytona 500 again. Only he's heading deeper into Mexico and eventually ends up broken down in front of, "Autodromo Internacional de la Jolla" due to no water in the radiator. The engine block has seized up. Luckily, there's a race about to start. Christopher...er "Alexander Superspeeder", who changed his name, pays the $125 entry fee for the race.

Unfortunately, Alexander Superspeeder doesn't have a race car. He does however have an old bicycle still. He uses the bicycle to race. He makes it only 3 laps before he is too tired to steer straight and veers off into a race car and is killed.

Some Jew picks up his story and writes a book about his life and how he followed his dreams. Another Jew makes a movie about it. Armchair racers around the world adore him.

The End.

Dubs confirms topkek

>>81817246
At least he did what he wanted to do instead of living by the confines of the increasingly oppressive society. That should be enough inspiration. The character in the film is overly pretentious, they could have made him more likeably while retaining the point of his escape from society.

I don't know faggot, the chick was a dumb 16-year old who thought she'd found true love. She's basically exaggeratedly pure at that point. Not just a random slag. In that situation I couldn't just take her virginity and fuck off, that has a huge impact on a chick, and I'm not looking to cause lasting pain due to some dumb primitive impulse.

What a fucking retard.

>>81820128
See my first post >>81819572. He knew staying in the little hippie commune was temporary, leaving was always in the back of his mind. He hadn't found what he was looking for yet. That wasn't it. Boning her and then saying "now don't be mad but I just wanted sex, hope it was good for you, now I'm leaving and we'll probably never see each other again" didn't sit right with him.
In another situation, I'd agree with you.

This whole situation should never happen. I'm not saying I'd do much better, but I bet I'd have been killed by bears or wolves or something. You can live for weeks without food. Follow a river. It's fucking Alaska. Who would try to live in Alaska without taking a fishing pole? Even a simple net and standing in the stream that time a year you'd catch something eventually.
