The guy is legend. He told society to "fuck off" and went and did his own thing. His ill preparedness and inexperience got him killed, but that doesn't change the fact that he was doing something different with his life than most other plebs.

I can guarantee you that if some fuckwit tried to do this today, they would instagramming/snapchatting their journey numerous times a day, getting money from their rich parents so they wouldn't have to sleep outside in the rain, using google maps to chart the easiest course, and yelping about local restaurants along the way.

My family, my friend, I have criss-crossed this great land of our countless times. I hold a map of it here, in my heart next to the joyful memories o the carefree days I spent as a young boy here in your beautiful town of Twin Peaks. From Alexandria, Virginia to Stockton, California. I think about Lewis and his friend Clark, the first Caucasians to see this part of the world; their footsteps have been the highways and byways of my days on the road. My shadow is always with me, sometimes ahead, sometimes behind, sometimes to the left or sometimes toe the right. Except on cloudy days or at night.
My dharma is the road; your dharma...

he was a dumbass. him dying alone in the wilderness isn't brave or inspiring at all.

>>85652032

Yep. Wasting it eating poison and then dying because he was such a retard.

Fuck Trump. I'm going to go live in the woods. Fuck no I don't need to learn anything about the wilderness.

>>85650917
Lack of contact with reality for being raised in a comfortable environment. Many people like him lacks experience with real world problems like poverty or uncertain economic future, for example. So, they have to artificially fabricate problems to feel they are something in life. A classic case of the so called "first world problems".

Unlike others who learn of their own stupidity and can move one, he just died.

>>85650917
didn't old people do that in the previous centuries, just go alone in the woods to die

Physical and emotional abuse. It gets brushed over in the movie, but the guy did actually have problems.

>>85652186
>different doesnt always mean good, faggot.
When did I say otherwise. He was doing something different that really didn't physically hurt anyone other than himself.

> Also when he did this there was no snapchat/instagram so we'll never know if he would have done it had the timeline be different.
No fucking way. The guy was a loner. He was born in 1968 and if he was doing this last year as opposed to the 90's, I guarantee you he wouldn't be doing that instagram/yelp millenial shit.

His ass. There was a hand operated tramway that he could have used to cross the river which was close to where he had initially crossed the river back in April. It wasn't close to the bus where he was staying though.

>>85652244
>Yep. Wasting it eating poison and then dying because he was such a retard.
Irrelevant. He tried something different and failed. But he did what he wanted to do and had no regrets (according to his journal entries).

>Fuck Trump. I'm going to go live in the woods. Fuck no I don't need to learn anything about the wilderness.
He just picked up and went. It worked for him for years and eventually his luck/skill/whatever ran out. Shit happens. But he was out there doing what he loved. We're all on a fucking weeb message board talking about it.

I wish I had the balls that he had.

>>85652346
Even if we don't want it to, eventually our biological instincts for survival kick in. Just the way it is.

>>85652421
He honestly would have been just fine if he had simply taken plenty of food supplies. He arrived in Alaska in April so it wasn't even that cold.

His dad used to beat him, the movie didn't show that, I guess it was pretty shitty leaving his sister with his dad, but that's why he ran away, prob got beat up worst for being a male.

>>85652513
>He honestly would have been just fine if he had simply taken plenty of food supplies. He arrived in Alaska in April so it wasn't even that cold.
No doubt. But that's not what his journey was about. He wanted to go and LIVE AND SURVIVE in the wild. Bringing a huge amount of supplies would have defeated that. He brought a bag of rice to get him started and he planned to live off of the local fish/wildlife afterwards. Didn't work out of course.

His journal mentions how he cant move anymore why was that? Was he just too hungry to walk?

>a guy who died when he went camping without a phone is considered an icon in america

>>85652603
>You'd be wise not to confuse bravery with idiocy. To embark on anything that dangerous without any preparation is, well, a death ticket.
I'm not saying he wasn't foolish. That's not the issue. I admire that he went out and did what he wanted in the face of all odds, even though he failed. He wanted to go live in the wild. Anything else, would have just been a long camping trip.

>>85652683

>Driver offered to buy him gear and equipment but he refused
He didn't want it. He wanted to live and survive on his own with minimal supplies (which would eventually run out forcing him to hunt/fish for food). I wouldn't expect an instagrambabby like you to understand such a concept.
>Managed to kill a moose that he could have lived on for months but he didn't know how to preserve the meat
He fucked up. He himself acknowledged this in the movie. Too bad he didn't have a youtube clip like you retards watch all day.
>Realized he was in over his head and tried to go back after 3 months, but the water had risen
Shit happens.
>Would have known of a road nearby if he had a map
Again, minimal supplies/information was what he was going for in this journey. He knew deep down that such a scenario of him getting trapped could probably happen, but he still took the risk.
>Left a note in his bus begging to be saved in case anyone found it
Survival instincts kick in. And death by starvation is brutal way to go.

How could he have preserved the moose meat anyway? It's not like he had the resources to dry and cure it.

>>85653283
>Why the fuck would you go anywhere without a map
Because that's how he wanted it. He wanted to EXPLORE the wild. (also, before Google Maps, guys tended to not use maps or ask for directions, just the way it was back then).

>That's not risk taking that's just severe retardation
Based on that logic most things are "severe retardation". Why would any astronaut get into a space shuttle after numerous deadly explosions from day 1? Why would someone go rock climbing when there's a chance of falling?

>>85653030
>Would have known of a road nearby if he had a map

>>85653231
what matters is, that he took the jump into the unknown. that's more than anybody on this board and most people could ever do.

>>85653335

If I remember the movie correctly, he tried to smoke it. I think he just fucked it up somehow.

>>85653450
>Source on this supposed road?
Not him, but I don't think it was a road. If I remember correctly, there was some kind of manual hand pulley that enabled people to cross the river in the event that it go too overflowed to swim over. This pulley was only a mile or so from his location.

I used to be in denial like you, but with age, you realise that it's true (well, the actual quote at least, not the pharaprased one you replied to) Eating crappy food with someone you love and laugh with is a better experience than eating top notch food alone.

And how do you get ''constant companionship'' and ''facebook likes'' from that quote? You can still have alone quality time, you need both.

>>85650917
He doesn't have any problems anymore.

>>85653570
I think people get confused by this a lot. I looked into it and the tramway he could have used to cross the river wasn't close to the bus. It was relatively close to where he had initially crossed the river a few months before. When he tried to hike out in July he almost certainly had no clear idea of where he first crossed the river in April.

How in the fuck do you die from starvation in the middle of the woods. I heard a story about a POW who was caught and sent to Siberia, only to escape and walk home to eastern yurop, eating only dirt and tree bark or some shit.

>>85653730
>Eating crappy food with someone you love and laugh with is a better experience than eating top notch food alone.
Says you. We're not all the same. That's something your generation has trouble grasping. According to the education you got in school, we're all equal regardless of color, gender, sexual preference, etc. People are different. Some like big groups of friends, some like a small close group of friends, some like no friends. Just the way it is. You say "it's fun to eat food with someone" could get a reaction of "dude, that's lame, I only eat food with my wife, 5 kids, numerous friends, and other family members".

>And how do you get ''constant companionship'' and ''facebook likes'' from that quote? You can still have alone quality time, you need both.
Nowadays "quality alone time" for young people is spent on the fucking phone in constant contact. It's fucking sad.

>>85653410
>guys tended to not use maps or ask for directions, just the way it was back then
Correction, guys who had no idea what they were doing and didn't realize how useful having just a fucking pencil, protractor, and a compass might be in conjunction with a map. Proper camping isn't something that was invented just this decade.

>Proper camping isn't something that was invented just this decade.
He wasn't fucking camping you retard. He was LIVING AND SURVIVING IN THE WILD. What aren't you grasping. He didn't want a map, or a protractor. He wanted to just get out there and see where his journey ended up taking him.

>What insane logic do you have for comparing an astrounaut to some white guy feeling bourgeious guilt
The astronauts took a chance in spite of the fact that certain death was a real consequence. McCandless took a chance in spite of the fact that certain death was a real consequence.

>bourgeious guilt
It wasn't this, dummy. The kid was abused physically, verbally, and psychologically by his dad (and watched him mother and sister take the same abuse) and this was just how he reacted to it.

>>85654046
>do you really convince yourself you're happier on your own?
I'm fine. I tend to not like people that much (I'm not a fucking hermit, I have co-workers and family that I see), but for the most part I'm a loner. It's fucking shocking that you can't understand this. As I said though, your generation is being taught that genders are all the fucking same.

You are just assuming things about me. That wasn't what I hot taught in school. Not even close.
Well, I can't say that what I say is 100% true as I'm still experiencing life and not old and wise enough yet. Maybe you are right. But I'm not necessarily talking about friends. It could be your dad, your wife, your kid, your pet, whatever. Most of the good memories I remember are things I did with others. And they were rare, I spent most of my time alone. I was jusy fooling myself thinking I was better off alone.

Again, you're not getting it. I'm not saying your foolish for wanting to hang out with people you love and care about. But you think I'm "fooling myself" into wanting to be alone, when that's not the case. I REALLY want to be alone. Sometimes I fantasize about buying a plot of land upstate and living away from it all (not roughing it or anything, I would still have a house, tv, internet, etc).

>But you know I don't mean that kind of ''quality time''.
I know. But nowadays in some cases what used to be "quality time" has become "phone time". In high school me and my girlfriend took a 2 hour car drive somewhere. It was great, we talked, played car games, tried to find a good radio station, etc.
I took a similar car ride with a girl last year, she was on her fucking phone EVERY. FUCKING. SECOND, with her headphones on.

To each his own, anon. There can be people who actually want to be alone. Like you, as you say. But most loners are like that because they never fit in even if they wanted to, so they say they are better off alone anyway, or say they hate people, to console themselves. That's why most people here get triggered over that quote so much.

>>85654902
I would like that. I really enjoy Emile's acting. The last movie of his that I saw was The Autopsy of Jane Doe, which was a good horror movie.

>>85655153
Fair enough, to each his own. But a loner can just as easily say that you hang out with people because you're afraid to be alone (which is certainly true in some cases, same way people claim to be "loners" when in actuality they wished they could fit in more).

He was not only stupid, but blind and pretentious. The only reason people here give him praise is most of you have never left your home state or country, barely go out in the wilderness, and over romanticize traveling. Traveling is shit, hard, and not fun if you are not well equipped or have some kind of preparation.

Life is only enjoyable when shared? Sure, Sometimes, not ALWAYS. You will need to have some time for yourself every now and then, maybe even more. It depends. Making any choice in such a drastic fashion is retarded, you might wanna go and do your own thing, but you gotta prepare, you gotta think, you gotta plan ahead, and you gotta eventually come back, because people are gonna care about you and miss you, and that's YOUR responsibility as a fucking human being to have empathy towards them and come back in one piece.

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.

Anyways, the actual point of the movie is some edgy trust fund baby throws away all his money because he doesn't know what to do with it, and goes into the woods only to die like an idiot because surviving in the wild is hard and merciless.

The normies then celebrate his dumbass as a hero for some reason.

He's basically what you get when a normie pretends to be an introvert.

Even on Naked and Afraid they give them a map.

Why the fuck would you not take a map.

Even in the past, you know what survivalists/explorers did? Map their location.

He didn't even attempt to map his location. He kept a diary and did not draw a single map in it.

That is not survival. That is just suicidal. You keep saying he was about the survival but he did not mind taking a sleeping bag, living in a bus so this wasn't about being one with nature or anything. He wasn't out there making his own camps (because he did not have the knowledge to do so). He just went to live in the woods. With no prior knowledge. And it got him killed.

At least his death is a cautionary tale to others that would attempt this idiocy.

Oh look the abuse argument.
I was abused too, there are people who didnt abuse me though and that I always cared about(i.e his sister) and I wouldn't just say fuck you to society and leave to die like a retard.

Btw that "speech" took me 5 minutes to write. My condolences if you need to practice before writing something like that.

His Dad had a second family. That's apparently child abuse.

Yeah, he made shit choices. But he was basically in prison for his childhood. He didn't know how to handle freedom because he never had any.

He's just projecting. Supertramp's parents where "strict" and wanted him to "become something" and that is child abuse as much as >>85662703 is projecting it to be.

>>85663277
That's not true at all. There's 0 evidence of it. The book insinuated at it an the movie actually changed the book McCandless had so it seemed that way. Thus, 100s of retards think that. Check out >>85662792

Maybe because people have been calling their brother a suicidal retard for 25 years and they got sick of it? It makes a lot of sense that they would try to explain some of his motivations when people have been talking about them since he died.

No, he's been a "hero" for all those years except the last 8 or so when the internet looked into it beyond the book and movie and found out just how fucktarded he was. I mean look at this shit in >>85662742 and compare it to his "journey" map.

Stuff like this totally BTFO of pro-McCandless types.

>>85665221
He wasn't trying to go full primitive or anything. He just had a romanticized sense of adventure.

The ironic part is that he was obviously the most happy while working on that farm, having coworkers, a father type figure and a hot girl.

>>85665274

>>85665198
>No, he's been a "hero" for all those years except the last 8 or so when the internet looked into it beyond the book and movie and found out just how fucktarded he was
No, people have been complaining about him for way longer than the book has even been around. You just weren't aware of the story before the movie was released. Krakauer even describes how most people aware of the story thought McCandless was an idiot in the book itself, and after the book's release he gained a few more fans, but people aware of him were always split between the "hero" and "retard" camps. The extra attention from the movie just publicized it more.

Hell, around the time the movie came out, some guy released an independent documentary he started shooting before the movie did, and his main argument is that Chris was a misguided idiot.

>>85665274
Sort of except that he was a grizzled old diesel mechanic. McCandless' story has appeal partly because he was young.

HOW DID THE BUS GET OUT THERE THOUGH??!!
