If you go on a meat only diet you need make sure to eat fat as well. Eating only lean meat can lead to illness and death. All he needed to do was eat some salmon or kill an ungulate (technically illegal if it is not a life or death situation) and eat the fat and preserve the rest with curing, sun drying, and smoking etc in the field.
Uno problemo. Up there flies and insects swarm viciously in the summer. Preserving meat effectively up there in a primitive setting is going to be a very difficult task. (As chris found out.)
Bugs hate smoke. In the absence of wet wood, once you get a campfire going, keep it going and burn it down to charcoal, you can then recycle that charcoal as dry fuel for another smoking fire as long as you can keep it hot enough.

I already have a WFH IT job. It gives me a month off a year which I usually use for hunting trips. Who the frick goes just camping? You go hunting so you can do something instead of just sit there and shoot the shit
That's not the point
The point is that his desired way of living required the kind of experience he didn't had. He could go bum and do the shit he did after actually knowing what he was doing instead of just acting by passion.
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 israelite picks up his story and writes a book about his life and how he followed his dreams. Another israelite makes a movie about it. Armchair racers around the world adore him.The End.
What went wrong?
Nothing, absolutely nothing. Natural selection still works just as well today as it did millenia ago, the issue is the proliferation of passing the buck for things you were once personally responsible for handling yourself, creating people like Mr. Superspeeder.

You NPCs make me fricking sick. Alex did something unique. He went on an adventure. He defied expectations. He went PrepHole. And here you guys are blabbering: >he didn't buy the right brand-name gear >he didn't rely on his car >he didn't become a professional mountain climber >he didn't pay a trained sherpa $25000 to help him hike across Alaska >he didn't follow his google maps app >he didn't post selfies of his travels on social media
Frick you all. Get over yourselves. There are other ways to do things, and sometimes they're a little unconventional. Sometimes they're modest. Sometimes they're ragtag. Sometimes they're personal. You ever thought that he was doing what he was doing for HIMSELF, rather than to impress people? Did that thought ever cross your mind? No, of course not. Because the only reason anyone here every goes PrepHole is so they can take a picture and post it on this godforsaken board. Frick you.
I can't tell if this is bait or spergging out, either way thanks for the kek.

okay, sure >proper clothes or boots
neither of those were an issue, though he did get a pair of boots from the guy who dropped him off at the trailhead. >learn how to forage for food or preserve it
he knew how to forage and failed to preserve the moose because of time >$20 bag of rice and beans
That's what he was living off of. >didn't listen to the locals
Locals are gays. >stupid and full of himself
AKA unconventional
Proof is in the pudding. He was a dumbass. If he wasn't a dumbass he wouldn't be dead. Simple as. Want more proof? Go do the same thing so we can laugh at you after you die too.
You fricking casuals don't know the first thing about going on an adventure.

I spend a lot of time in healy and it is even worse than you think
Half of that is stampede road and people live in houses on roads 5 "t" from where he died. Everyone in healy rides four wheelers for fun and there is a massive system of trails all around the town. Eightmile lake itself is a popular destination. I guarantee someone was within earshot of him lazily drinking a six pack when he died
he poisoned himself with that "foraged" food and didnt preserve the "moose" (it was a caribou) because he was a dumbass and never learned how to do it. He probably died of rabbit starvation because he didnt know you couldn't just eat squirrels all day and survive.
Not dying would have been a better adventure. There's an excellent article by a dude who essentially own McCandles. He moved to Alaska and became a park ranger and was like I get what he was going for and I am living that dream...he could have done it right but instead he opted to be a complete dipshit.
>have no respect for the apathy of the natural world >buy into postmodern BS that all these manmade things to circumvent the apathy of nature are actually, like, spiritual poison, maaaaaan >die
He was an arrogant fool. Even a complete amateur could have escaped his situation with only a modern map. The argument is made that he was just a romantic who wanted to play pioneer, but the actual pioneers had more sense and supplies than they had modern firearms with which to hunt or abandoned metal buses in which to live. They had a great understanding of nature's apathy and did everything within their power to circumvent it. Anything less is hubris.
Reality doesn't exist outside of your eyes and ears. A tree falling in the forest alone makes no sound. He lived his reality without kowtowing to soiboys and died as he would have liked to. It's called being based.
You don't have to go to Alaska to die. I'm search and rescue in the PNW and about once a year I have to go pull some dipshit college kid from Sacremento who hasn't so much as touched grass in his life outta the woods. You have no idea how many copies of this dumbass book I've seen.
I could go outside and die in the wilderness in my backyard if I wanted to. Some anonymous moron egging me on isn't quite enough to get me there though.
He's famous for dying and a household name practically. Meanwhile how many people have heard of Ueli Steck, Alexander Lowe or Conrad Anker?
Yeah, frick you. You're the NPC.
That's what actually ultimately killed him in the end, not inexperience, not stupidity, not some act of God or whatever, Hubris
If he had bothered to talk to a local for an hour about the area or packed a modern map of his location he would have known there was a man made bridge out of the area over the river he got trapped behind less than 2 miles from his bus.
He didn't even have proper winter boots when he was on his way into the Tundra for fricks sake, the guy that gave him a lift gave him a pair of proper boots and he wore them everyday from then to his death. The same guy begged him to go back into town and do some research and properly supply himself before heading out and if he had done that he probably would have survived, either because he would have known about the area or purely because he would have learned a bit about preserving food or would have had more food with him.
A similarly inexperienced person with a more humble and down to earth disposition probably would have made it.
Investigators said Largay’s cellphone revealed she got lost in the dense woods after she left the trail to use the bathroom. Right away, she texted her husband for help.
“In somm trouble,” she wrote on July 22, 2013 around 11:01 a.m. “Got off trail to go to br. Now lost. Can u call AMC to c if a train maintainer can help me. Somewhere north of woods road. Xox."
George Largay never got that text, or the others his wife subsequently sent, “because of poor or nonexistent cell tower coverage in the area," officials wrote in their report.
Unprepared, naive and stupid. He thought he could take the Alaska tundra to "live" yet didn't have skills, knowledge or even a map of the area. If you read his diary, you learn that in the last weeks or his life he felt very much alone and regreted his decisions. Also, there was literal a rail crossing a mere mile walking direction but since he didn't had a map...he also tried to cross the river, however the snow had melted and the current was not crossable. A couple actually ventured there years later like many other idiotic tourists to the bus of his demise and drowned in that very river.
That part it where it starts to be genuinely funny, so many morons tried to make a pilgrimage to his bus and then had to call for rescue they had to get a chinook to hoist it up and fly it somewhere they can't hike to
> cautionary tale of how an idealistic idiot's hubris got him killed > other unprepared idealistic idiots use it as an instruction manual instead > also die
I keep reading these news articles like "morons die trying to emulate other moron who also died" type stories and cannot bring myself to feel bad. It really is amazing how many people end up dead pursuing instagram clout.
>Chris McCandless from an Alaska Park Ranger’s Perspective >by Peter Christian
>Both Chris McCandless and I arrived in Alaska in 1992. We both came to Alaska from the area around Washington, D.C. We were both about the same age and had a similar idea in mind; to live a free life in the Alaska wild. Fourteen years later Chris McCandless is dead and I am living the dream I set out to win for myself. What made the difference in these two outcomes?
>There was nothing heroic or even mysterious about what Chris McCandless did in April 1992. Like many Alaskans, I read Jon Krakauer’s book “Into the Wild” when it first came out and finished it thinking, “why does this guy rate an entire book?” The fact that Krakauer is a great outdoor writer and philosopher is the bright spot and it makes a great read, but McCandless was not something special.
>As a park ranger both at Denali National Park, very near where McCandless died, and now at Gates of the Arctic National Park, even more remote and wild than Denali, I am exposed continually to what I will call the “McCandless Phenomenon.” People, nearly always young men, come to Alaska to challenge themselves against an unforgiving wilderness landscape where convenience of access and possibility of rescue are practically nonexistent. I know the personality type because I was one of those young men.
>In fact, Alaska is populated with people who are either running away from something or seeking themselves in America’s last frontier. It is a place very much like the frontier of the Old West where you can come to and reinvent yourself. In reality, most people who make it as far as Alaska never get past the cities of Fairbanks and Anchorage because access is so difficult and expensive (usually by airplane), travel is so hard, the terrain is challenging, the bears are real, and so on.
>A very few competent and skillful people make a successful go at living a free life in the wild, build a home in the mountains, raise their children there and eventually come back with good stories and happy endings. A greater number give it a try, realize it is neither
easy nor romantic, just damn hard work, and quickly give up and return to town with
their tails between their legs, but alive and the wiser for it.
>Some like McCandless, show up in Alaska, unprepared, unskilled and unwilling to take the time to learn the skills they need to be successful. These quickly get in trouble and either die by bears, by drowning, by freezing or they are rescued by park rangers or other rescue personnel–but often, not before risking their lives and/or spending a lot of government money on helicopters and overtime.
>When you consider McCandless from my perspective, you quickly see that what he did wasn’t even particularly daring, just stupid, tragic and inconsiderate. First off, he spent very little time learning how to actually live in the wild. He arrived at the Stampede Trail without even a map of the area. If he had a good map he could have walked out of his predicament using one of several routes that could have been successful. Consider where he died. An abandoned bus. How did it get there? On a trail. If the bus could get into the place where it died, why couldn’t McCandless get out of the place where he died? The fact that he had to live in an old bus in the first place tells you a lot. Why didn’t he have an adequate shelter from the beginning? What would he have done if he hadn’t found the bus? A bag of rice and a sleeping bag do not constitute adequate gear and provisions for a long stay in the wilderness.
>No experienced backcountry person would travel during the month of April. It is a time of transition from winter’s frozen rivers and hard packed snow with good traveling conditions into spring’s quagmire of mud and raging waters where even small creeks become impassible. Hungry bears come out of their dens with just one thing in mind—eating.
>Furthermore, Chris McCandless poached a moose and then wasted it. He killed a magnificent animal superbly conditioned to survive the rigors of the Alaskan wild then, inexperienced in how to preserve meat without refrigeration (the Eskimos and Indians do it to this day), he watched 1500 pounds of meat rot away in front of him. He’s lucky the stench didn’t bring a grizzly bear to end his suffering earlier. And in the end, the moose died for nothing.
>So what made the difference between McCandless and I fourteen years ago? Why am I alive and he is dead? Essentially, Chris McCandless committed suicide while I apprenticed myself to a career and a life that I wanted more badly than I can possibly describe in so short an essay. In the end I believe that the difference between us was that I wanted to live and Chris McCandless wanted to die (whether he realized it or not). The fact that he died in a compelling way doesn’t change that outcome. He might have made it work if he had respected the wilderness he was purported to have loved. But it is my belief that surviving in the wilderness is not what he had in mind.
>I did not start this essay to trash poor Chris McCandless. Not intentionally. It is sad that the boy had to die. The tragedy is that McCandless more than likely was suffering from mental illness and didn’t have to end his life the way he did. The fact that he chose Alaska’s wildlands to do it in speaks more to the fact that it makes a good story than to the fact that McCandless was heroic or somehow extraordinary. In the end, he was sadly ordinary in his disrespect for the land, the animals, the history, and the self-sufficiency ethos of Alaska, the Last Frontier.
He had the right idea, just shitty and naive execution unfortunately.
It's not his fault his family/friends metaphorically dug up his corpse to parade and wildly profit off of his story. He had no aspirations to fame/fortune, he literally gave away all his money prior to going to the wilderness.
It sucks a couple months of training and learning is all he really needed to not die a horrible agonizing death :/
TV tropes of all places words it the best, in regards to the movie: >Before he reaches Alaska, we get glimpses that Chris is in no way prepared to survive on his own. If you pay attention and rewatch his pitstops before Alaska, Chris always got out of bad situations because someone else is helping him along. In Alaska, he had no one to help him and that's one of the biggest factors leading up to his demise
Its not a sad story, its a story of a dumbass being stubborn.
I would have sympathy if he wasn't a complete idiot.
he poisoned himself with that "foraged" food and didnt preserve the "moose" (it was a caribou) because he was a dumbass and never learned how to do it. He probably died of rabbit starvation because he didnt know you couldn't just eat squirrels all day and survive.
It was the seeds, bro. And not just any seeds, but potato seeds. And not just the potato seeds, but the mold from the potato seeds. He was an expert that ate the moldy potato seeds, bro.
What are you talking about. A potato seed is another potato. They are tubers and grow back from their Rhizomes. To carry around potato "seed" just means that you have potatoes.
The modern man cannot simply return to the wild as though he were born in it. A zoo animal must carefully be reintroduced to the wild, for it has grown up without whetting its practical survival skills; men are no different.
Jon Krakauer’s first book was called “Into Free Pussy,” a fiction piece based on a real person about a very provocative fisherman who only way of life is fishing & fricking, a tail of 2 tails!
>> be moronic bum who always relied on other's sympathy to scrape by >> Begin to think you are some sort of outdoors god >> disregard the fact that you have basically existed off of the kindness of others up to this point >> go somewhere wildly beyond you skill limit while woefully unprepared >> Shit yourself to death after eating poisonous plants because you were starving >> have book written about you that inspires dozens of other naive hipsters do get themselves killed trying to replicate your hubris
Honestly, I see him as a net positive. He not only removed himself from the gene pool, but inspired dozens of other easily influenced lemmings to do the same.
He thought it was possible to live a decent life alone in the woods without any assistance from society. You can't.
There are very very few people who could keep their heart beating indefinitely in that situation and none except the deranged could benefit from an existence of grovelling for food in a hostile environment of total isolation.
So basically, he got into that hippy new age thing where he rejected materialism, which is fine. But he took it to where he was like "EVEN MY BAG OF RICE IS TOO MUCH MATIERIAL WEALTH, I'M GONNA GO LIVE OFF THE LAND!" levels of fanaticism.
Furthermore, he actually wasn't that great of an outdoorsman. He frequently got into life threatening situations and by luck somebody more prepared and expierienced was always happening by to bail him out. Rather than take the lesson that more grounded and better prepared people had saved his ass so maybe he should take notes, he jumped to the conclusion that he was just, like, super awesome and didn't need any of that stuff. So he went to alaska where nobody was there to help him, starved to death for a few months, then misidentified a plant species and died from a combination of malnutrition and poisoning.
The ironic part is, that there were a few areas where he could have crossed the flooding river that cut him off and stranded him within walking distance where he died, but he hadn't even bothered to bring a map.
There's another story of a photographer who got stranded in Alaska. He starved to death only a few days before rescue. He kept a journal, and it seems that he threw away most of his rifle ammunition in a fit of idealism, only to later starve to death because he got stuck out there longer than he intended and was unable to hunt game.
Delusional Idealism is something the well fed can afford. When you plan on going into real wilderness, you better be a lot more pragmatic. Starvation, the elements, and wild animals don't give a shit what you believe in.
he doesn't seem as bad as mccandless, throwing away his ammo was stupid but he would've died either way. his death was from forgetting to get a return flight, while mccanddles died from being a hippie bum larping as an outdoorsman
Pretty sure he didn't starve, he shot himself. He didn't get stranded; there was a miscommunication about confirming the date and location of the airplane pickup, so the plane never came. Saved just enough ammunition, it seems.
I live about 30 minutes away from Stampede Road. The bus isn't there any more. It's on the UAF campus getting ready to be put on display at the museum.
Every single person from AK will tell you how moronic he was and how much of a headache he created.
However, he came to terms with his death and faced his demise. I give him some credit.
Realistically what would the chances be of any suburbian kid succeeding in doing what he did? I assume those of you who hunt in similar environments have a better idea
Is it mostly hunting skills that are necessary to survive? From what I understand he struggled with finding larger game and failed at preparing and storing the meat
No, anon, you misunderstand my post. Suburban kids aren't going to survive step one, let alone making it far enough to store meat and consume regular amounts of fat.

Watch Alone. Those people are 'professionals' (still not sure what that means) but people who are experienced in living off the land and making their own way out there in very rough areas; and they struggle to make it, or at least are looking very rough losing weight, etc.
They'd probably have at least enough sense to use the resources given to them. They'd probably turn around 360 degrees back to civ the moment it got cold though, cause they're at least probably average IQ, and not Mccandless
He didn't have a map of the area he went exploring. Plan plan plan! He didn't expect the river to become impassible that quickly. If he had a map of the area he would have easily found the nearby cable cab to get across.
Without set plans and lacking information of a new environment is tempting fate.
In the psychiatric evaluation, Johnson reveals that Kaczynski had persistent and intense sexual fantasies about being a woman. While he was a graduate student at the University of Michigan in 1967, he went to a psychiatrist to discuss his wishes for a sex change operation. But in the waiting room, he decided he could not go forward. Instead, he told the psychiatrist he was depressed about the possibility of being drafted.
His near confession of his feelings so filled him with rage, in this case directed at psychiatrists, that he went through a major transformation.
"As I walked away from the building afterwards," Kaczynski wrote in documents released today, "I felt disgusted about what my uncontrolled sexual cravings had almost led me to do. And I felt humiliated, and I violently hated the psychiatrist. Just then there came a major turning point in my life. Like a Phoenix, I burst from the ashes of my despair to a glorious new hope."
Kaczynski's new hope? To take his rage out on others, including the psychiatrist. "I will kill," Kaczynski wrote. "But I will make at least some effort to avoid detection so that I can kill again."
>What went wrong?
nothing
a moron begged to be culled and did everything in his power to make sure he got darwined and ... wait for it ... the moron died
He thought reading about a survival skill then doing it once was sufficient practice to live off of
If he had said "lol vegetables are fricking gay" and just at meat you could have avoided his stomach illness
If you go on a meat only diet you need make sure to eat fat as well. Eating only lean meat can lead to illness and death. All he needed to do was eat some salmon or kill an ungulate (technically illegal if it is not a life or death situation) and eat the fat and preserve the rest with curing, sun drying, and smoking etc in the field.
Uno problemo. Up there flies and insects swarm viciously in the summer. Preserving meat effectively up there in a primitive setting is going to be a very difficult task. (As chris found out.)
Bugs hate smoke. In the absence of wet wood, once you get a campfire going, keep it going and burn it down to charcoal, you can then recycle that charcoal as dry fuel for another smoking fire as long as you can keep it hot enough.

Not what he said.
I already have a WFH IT job. It gives me a month off a year which I usually use for hunting trips. Who the frick goes just camping? You go hunting so you can do something instead of just sit there and shoot the shit
That's not the point
The point is that his desired way of living required the kind of experience he didn't had. He could go bum and do the shit he did after actually knowing what he was doing instead of just acting by passion.
>I have the reading comprehension of a child
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 israelite picks up his story and writes a book about his life and how he followed his dreams. Another israelite makes a movie about it. Armchair racers around the world adore him.The End.

What went wrong?
Nothing, absolutely nothing. Natural selection still works just as well today as it did millenia ago, the issue is the proliferation of passing the buck for things you were once personally responsible for handling yourself, creating people like Mr. Superspeeder.
He started eating poisonous plants.
Alexander Superfly don't eat so good.
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 israelite picks up his story and writes a book about his life and how he followed his dreams. Another israelite makes a movie about it. Armchair racers around the world adore him.
The End.
kek, classic
>it makes PrepHole seethe literally every time
I love this pasta.
Fricking kek that sums it up nicely.
You NPCs make me fricking sick. Alex did something unique. He went on an adventure. He defied expectations. He went PrepHole. And here you guys are blabbering:
>he didn't buy the right brand-name gear
>he didn't rely on his car
>he didn't become a professional mountain climber
>he didn't pay a trained sherpa $25000 to help him hike across Alaska
>he didn't follow his google maps app
>he didn't post selfies of his travels on social media
Frick you all. Get over yourselves. There are other ways to do things, and sometimes they're a little unconventional. Sometimes they're modest. Sometimes they're ragtag. Sometimes they're personal. You ever thought that he was doing what he was doing for HIMSELF, rather than to impress people? Did that thought ever cross your mind? No, of course not. Because the only reason anyone here every goes PrepHole is so they can take a picture and post it on this godforsaken board. Frick you.
kek, imagen being this much of a cuck.
I can't tell if this is bait or spergging out, either way thanks for the kek.
I also am not the biggest fan of gays. I wouldn't care but the kids stuff is a little much. I turn on youtube and theres gays and troonys ass fricking each other when my kid just wants to watch jurassic park trailer.
You shouldn't let your kids watch YT unsupervised. Especially if they search for "ass fricking"
>he didnt get the map or compass
>he didnt get the proper clothes or boots
>he didnt bother to learn how to forage for food or preserve it
>he didnt get the literal 20$ bag or rice and beanz that would buy him the time necessary to practice foraging and preserving food and could serve to sustain him in emergency.
>he didnt listen to the locals
>he wasnt unconventional, just stupid and full of himself.
>map or compass
okay, sure
>proper clothes or boots
neither of those were an issue, though he did get a pair of boots from the guy who dropped him off at the trailhead.
>learn how to forage for food or preserve it
he knew how to forage and failed to preserve the moose because of time
>$20 bag of rice and beans
That's what he was living off of.
>didn't listen to the locals
Locals are gays.
>stupid and full of himself
AKA unconventional
Proof is in the pudding. He was a dumbass. If he wasn't a dumbass he wouldn't be dead. Simple as. Want more proof? Go do the same thing so we can laugh at you after you die too.
You fricking casuals don't know the first thing about going on an adventure.
>the maladaptive day dreamer fears the truth
go outside son.
You act like being prepared is a bad thing.
>adventure
a good days hiking from the nearest mall along a mapped trail
so he walked like 50km of gravel road and got stranded behind the river?
the more I look into this case the more this case the worse it gets
What the frick is a t?
'My boss says I have to work a t of overtime this week'
'Bake at 350 for 3 t'
Silence mutt
honestly, what does it mean? Is it hours?
it's t as in "time"
it means the "times" the minute hand of the watch goes around the clock
so 9 times and 29 minutes
yeah, in my language hour translates to time
pardon my existence as an ESL speaker
you should be embarrassed
What the hell he was only that distance?
Not to mock the dead but holy hell that's pathetic.
He must have just wanted to die.
I spend a lot of time in healy and it is even worse than you think
Half of that is stampede road and people live in houses on roads 5 "t" from where he died. Everyone in healy rides four wheelers for fun and there is a massive system of trails all around the town. Eightmile lake itself is a popular destination. I guarantee someone was within earshot of him lazily drinking a six pack when he died
I have and I survived. What's the big deal you homosexual? He only got popular because he died doing this not because he did it.
Where's your paramount picture then? You lazy homosexuals are so easy to spot. Go take your stupidity somewhere else.
he poisoned himself with that "foraged" food and didnt preserve the "moose" (it was a caribou) because he was a dumbass and never learned how to do it. He probably died of rabbit starvation because he didnt know you couldn't just eat squirrels all day and survive.
>he didnt survive the winter
Not dying would have been a better adventure. There's an excellent article by a dude who essentially own McCandles. He moved to Alaska and became a park ranger and was like I get what he was going for and I am living that dream...he could have done it right but instead he opted to be a complete dipshit.
Do you have a link or name of the guy? Sounds like a good read
This is a standard read for any PrepHoleist. there really is no defending this clown.

>have no respect for the apathy of the natural world
>buy into postmodern BS that all these manmade things to circumvent the apathy of nature are actually, like, spiritual poison, maaaaaan
>die
He was an arrogant fool. Even a complete amateur could have escaped his situation with only a modern map. The argument is made that he was just a romantic who wanted to play pioneer, but the actual pioneers had more sense and supplies than they had modern firearms with which to hunt or abandoned metal buses in which to live. They had a great understanding of nature's apathy and did everything within their power to circumvent it. Anything less is hubris.
He was based in the truest sense of the word. As in based on itself, he did it in his own foolish way and i think that's respectable.
nothing based about being ignorant of the nature of reality
Reality doesn't exist outside of your eyes and ears. A tree falling in the forest alone makes no sound. He lived his reality without kowtowing to soiboys and died as he would have liked to. It's called being based.
correct answer
he was an adventurer. nothing remarkable, just authentic. Had he survived he'd be a much deeper person for the time he spent wandering.
only morons from the lower 48 romanticize him.
>the lower 48
You don't have to go to Alaska to die. I'm search and rescue in the PNW and about once a year I have to go pull some dipshit college kid from Sacremento who hasn't so much as touched grass in his life outta the woods. You have no idea how many copies of this dumbass book I've seen.
Man that must be frustrating. I honestly have no idea how those kids think they live out in the wild purely on good will. How's the job?
He wouldn't know; he's just larping.

that's actually not horribly far off from an actual talladega story
Based Nascarposter strikes again. Missing the pic though.
His parents
Hubris killed him
That's what actually ultimately killed him in the end, not inexperience, not stupidity, not some act of God or whatever, Hubris
If he had bothered to talk to a local for an hour about the area or packed a modern map of his location he would have known there was a man made bridge out of the area over the river he got trapped behind less than 2 miles from his bus.
He didn't even have proper winter boots when he was on his way into the Tundra for fricks sake, the guy that gave him a lift gave him a pair of proper boots and he wore them everyday from then to his death. The same guy begged him to go back into town and do some research and properly supply himself before heading out and if he had done that he probably would have survived, either because he would have known about the area or purely because he would have learned a bit about preserving food or would have had more food with him.
A similarly inexperienced person with a more humble and down to earth disposition probably would have made it.
I didn’t know about the bridge thing! Also, how the frick do you spend months some place and not even bother to hike 2 miles up the fricking river?///
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/lost-hiker-was-two-miles-appalachian-trail-when-she-died-n581611
Investigators said Largay’s cellphone revealed she got lost in the dense woods after she left the trail to use the bathroom. Right away, she texted her husband for help.
“In somm trouble,” she wrote on July 22, 2013 around 11:01 a.m. “Got off trail to go to br. Now lost. Can u call AMC to c if a train maintainer can help me. Somewhere north of woods road. Xox."
George Largay never got that text, or the others his wife subsequently sent, “because of poor or nonexistent cell tower coverage in the area," officials wrote in their report.

This story is terribly sad. She makes me think of my mother. Looks like her too. Always keep a buddy.
>What went wrong?
90%of threads on this website are randomly generated by bots. I saw this exact "thread" every month for the past 5 or so years.
Unprepared, naive and stupid. He thought he could take the Alaska tundra to "live" yet didn't have skills, knowledge or even a map of the area. If you read his diary, you learn that in the last weeks or his life he felt very much alone and regreted his decisions. Also, there was literal a rail crossing a mere mile walking direction but since he didn't had a map...he also tried to cross the river, however the snow had melted and the current was not crossable. A couple actually ventured there years later like many other idiotic tourists to the bus of his demise and drowned in that very river.
We're actually moved twice because of tourists love killing themselves. I see it at UAF everytime I'm over there
moved the bus*
That part it where it starts to be genuinely funny, so many morons tried to make a pilgrimage to his bus and then had to call for rescue they had to get a chinook to hoist it up and fly it somewhere they can't hike to

>Chris McCandless from an Alaska Park Ranger’s Perspective
>by Peter Christian
>Both Chris McCandless and I arrived in Alaska in 1992. We both came to Alaska from the area around Washington, D.C. We were both about the same age and had a similar idea in mind; to live a free life in the Alaska wild. Fourteen years later Chris McCandless is dead and I am living the dream I set out to win for myself. What made the difference in these two outcomes?
>There was nothing heroic or even mysterious about what Chris McCandless did in April 1992. Like many Alaskans, I read Jon Krakauer’s book “Into the Wild” when it first came out and finished it thinking, “why does this guy rate an entire book?” The fact that Krakauer is a great outdoor writer and philosopher is the bright spot and it makes a great read, but McCandless was not something special.
>As a park ranger both at Denali National Park, very near where McCandless died, and now at Gates of the Arctic National Park, even more remote and wild than Denali, I am exposed continually to what I will call the “McCandless Phenomenon.” People, nearly always young men, come to Alaska to challenge themselves against an unforgiving wilderness landscape where convenience of access and possibility of rescue are practically nonexistent. I know the personality type because I was one of those young men.
>In fact, Alaska is populated with people who are either running away from something or seeking themselves in America’s last frontier. It is a place very much like the frontier of the Old West where you can come to and reinvent yourself. In reality, most people who make it as far as Alaska never get past the cities of Fairbanks and Anchorage because access is so difficult and expensive (usually by airplane), travel is so hard, the terrain is challenging, the bears are real, and so on.
>A very few competent and skillful people make a successful go at living a free life in the wild, build a home in the mountains, raise their children there and eventually come back with good stories and happy endings. A greater number give it a try, realize it is neither
easy nor romantic, just damn hard work, and quickly give up and return to town with
their tails between their legs, but alive and the wiser for it.
>Some like McCandless, show up in Alaska, unprepared, unskilled and unwilling to take the time to learn the skills they need to be successful. These quickly get in trouble and either die by bears, by drowning, by freezing or they are rescued by park rangers or other rescue personnel–but often, not before risking their lives and/or spending a lot of government money on helicopters and overtime.
>When you consider McCandless from my perspective, you quickly see that what he did wasn’t even particularly daring, just stupid, tragic and inconsiderate. First off, he spent very little time learning how to actually live in the wild. He arrived at the Stampede Trail without even a map of the area. If he had a good map he could have walked out of his predicament using one of several routes that could have been successful. Consider where he died. An abandoned bus. How did it get there? On a trail. If the bus could get into the place where it died, why couldn’t McCandless get out of the place where he died? The fact that he had to live in an old bus in the first place tells you a lot. Why didn’t he have an adequate shelter from the beginning? What would he have done if he hadn’t found the bus? A bag of rice and a sleeping bag do not constitute adequate gear and provisions for a long stay in the wilderness.
>No experienced backcountry person would travel during the month of April. It is a time of transition from winter’s frozen rivers and hard packed snow with good traveling conditions into spring’s quagmire of mud and raging waters where even small creeks become impassible. Hungry bears come out of their dens with just one thing in mind—eating.
>Furthermore, Chris McCandless poached a moose and then wasted it. He killed a magnificent animal superbly conditioned to survive the rigors of the Alaskan wild then, inexperienced in how to preserve meat without refrigeration (the Eskimos and Indians do it to this day), he watched 1500 pounds of meat rot away in front of him. He’s lucky the stench didn’t bring a grizzly bear to end his suffering earlier. And in the end, the moose died for nothing.
>So what made the difference between McCandless and I fourteen years ago? Why am I alive and he is dead? Essentially, Chris McCandless committed suicide while I apprenticed myself to a career and a life that I wanted more badly than I can possibly describe in so short an essay. In the end I believe that the difference between us was that I wanted to live and Chris McCandless wanted to die (whether he realized it or not). The fact that he died in a compelling way doesn’t change that outcome. He might have made it work if he had respected the wilderness he was purported to have loved. But it is my belief that surviving in the wilderness is not what he had in mind.
>I did not start this essay to trash poor Chris McCandless. Not intentionally. It is sad that the boy had to die. The tragedy is that McCandless more than likely was suffering from mental illness and didn’t have to end his life the way he did. The fact that he chose Alaska’s wildlands to do it in speaks more to the fact that it makes a good story than to the fact that McCandless was heroic or somehow extraordinary. In the end, he was sadly ordinary in his disrespect for the land, the animals, the history, and the self-sufficiency ethos of Alaska, the Last Frontier.
He had the right idea, just shitty and naive execution unfortunately.
It's not his fault his family/friends metaphorically dug up his corpse to parade and wildly profit off of his story. He had no aspirations to fame/fortune, he literally gave away all his money prior to going to the wilderness.
It sucks a couple months of training and learning is all he really needed to not die a horrible agonizing death :/
It sucks he LITERALLY turned down people who offered to get him set up properly.
I'm not gloating over his grave, but his death was absolutely self-inflicted.
TV tropes of all places words it the best, in regards to the movie:
>Before he reaches Alaska, we get glimpses that Chris is in no way prepared to survive on his own. If you pay attention and rewatch his pitstops before Alaska, Chris always got out of bad situations because someone else is helping him along. In Alaska, he had no one to help him and that's one of the biggest factors leading up to his demise
so many nasty people on PrepHole these days.
It is a sad story, why would you gloat?
Its not a sad story, its a story of a dumbass being stubborn.
I would have sympathy if he wasn't a complete idiot.
>rabbit starvation
I think more people on here should venture out like Chris and die of starvation themselves
It was the seeds, bro. And not just any seeds, but potato seeds. And not just the potato seeds, but the mold from the potato seeds. He was an expert that ate the moldy potato seeds, bro.
Potato seeds are just potatoes. Is this a troll?
It’s a theory that the Into the Wild author STILL swears by.
>Supertramp would’ve survived Alaska if he didn’t eat the moldy seeds
What are you talking about. A potato seed is another potato. They are tubers and grow back from their Rhizomes. To carry around potato "seed" just means that you have potatoes.
Potatoes do not produce fricking seeds.
It’s the wording the author uses m8.

>supertramp get ipad
He was so ectatic to finally get away from Black folk that he ate the wrong plant and died.
I could see this happening to me just because of the reasoning.
Why do people here hate him so much?
because I don't like city gays camping out on my property.
The modern man cannot simply return to the wild as though he were born in it. A zoo animal must carefully be reintroduced to the wild, for it has grown up without whetting its practical survival skills; men are no different.
Jon Krakauer’s first book was called “Into Free Pussy,” a fiction piece based on a real person about a very provocative fisherman who only way of life is fishing & fricking, a tail of 2 tails!
>> be moronic bum who always relied on other's sympathy to scrape by
>> Begin to think you are some sort of outdoors god
>> disregard the fact that you have basically existed off of the kindness of others up to this point
>> go somewhere wildly beyond you skill limit while woefully unprepared
>> Shit yourself to death after eating poisonous plants because you were starving
>> have book written about you that inspires dozens of other naive hipsters do get themselves killed trying to replicate your hubris
Honestly, I see him as a net positive. He not only removed himself from the gene pool, but inspired dozens of other easily influenced lemmings to do the same.
He thought it was possible to live a decent life alone in the woods without any assistance from society. You can't.
There are very very few people who could keep their heart beating indefinitely in that situation and none except the deranged could benefit from an existence of grovelling for food in a hostile environment of total isolation.
If he was intending on setting up a base camp in Alaska, why didn't he bring a bag of rice and a bag of beans and maybe some trapping line?
Either way, seems like he was just reckless, or just young and idealistic. Maybe it was a subconscious suicide.
So basically, he got into that hippy new age thing where he rejected materialism, which is fine. But he took it to where he was like "EVEN MY BAG OF RICE IS TOO MUCH MATIERIAL WEALTH, I'M GONNA GO LIVE OFF THE LAND!" levels of fanaticism.
Furthermore, he actually wasn't that great of an outdoorsman. He frequently got into life threatening situations and by luck somebody more prepared and expierienced was always happening by to bail him out. Rather than take the lesson that more grounded and better prepared people had saved his ass so maybe he should take notes, he jumped to the conclusion that he was just, like, super awesome and didn't need any of that stuff. So he went to alaska where nobody was there to help him, starved to death for a few months, then misidentified a plant species and died from a combination of malnutrition and poisoning.
The ironic part is, that there were a few areas where he could have crossed the flooding river that cut him off and stranded him within walking distance where he died, but he hadn't even bothered to bring a map.
It was obvious he was mentally ill but the movie never mentions it or the childhood abuse
There's another story of a photographer who got stranded in Alaska. He starved to death only a few days before rescue. He kept a journal, and it seems that he threw away most of his rifle ammunition in a fit of idealism, only to later starve to death because he got stuck out there longer than he intended and was unable to hunt game.
Delusional Idealism is something the well fed can afford. When you plan on going into real wilderness, you better be a lot more pragmatic. Starvation, the elements, and wild animals don't give a shit what you believe in.
This shit is truly fascinating
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_McCunn
He didn’t get stranded. He set up camp but never properly planned a return flight home.
he doesn't seem as bad as mccandless, throwing away his ammo was stupid but he would've died either way. his death was from forgetting to get a return flight, while mccanddles died from being a hippie bum larping as an outdoorsman
This one is actually pretty sad, he wasn't a larper like McCandless. Just a deadly mix of bad luck and carelessness.
Pretty sure he didn't starve, he shot himself. He didn't get stranded; there was a miscommunication about confirming the date and location of the airplane pickup, so the plane never came. Saved just enough ammunition, it seems.

I live about 30 minutes away from Stampede Road. The bus isn't there any more. It's on the UAF campus getting ready to be put on display at the museum.
Every single person from AK will tell you how moronic he was and how much of a headache he created.
However, he came to terms with his death and faced his demise. I give him some credit.
Realistically what would the chances be of any suburbian kid succeeding in doing what he did? I assume those of you who hunt in similar environments have a better idea
>suburbian kid
Dead by december 100% guarantee.
In Alaska? A suburban kid? Dead by winter, if not before.
Tbh, it's realistically going to be dead in whatever length of time it takes for the kid to:
A, starve to death
B, get giardia and die of dehydration
Is it mostly hunting skills that are necessary to survive? From what I understand he struggled with finding larger game and failed at preparing and storing the meat
No, anon, you misunderstand my post. Suburban kids aren't going to survive step one, let alone making it far enough to store meat and consume regular amounts of fat.
Watch Alone. Those people are 'professionals' (still not sure what that means) but people who are experienced in living off the land and making their own way out there in very rough areas; and they struggle to make it, or at least are looking very rough losing weight, etc.
>Watch Alone
No thanks. I go outside, I don't need to watch larpers on tv.
I was agreeing that the average suburban kid wouldn't last more than a few months you twat.
Anyway yeah I'm sure you are outside all the time. 24/7/365. Never watch TV or use the internet. I mean you're definitely not on PrepHole right now.
They'd probably have at least enough sense to use the resources given to them. They'd probably turn around 360 degrees back to civ the moment it got cold though, cause they're at least probably average IQ, and not Mccandless
Didn't eat the bugs
He didn't have a map of the area he went exploring. Plan plan plan! He didn't expect the river to become impassible that quickly. If he had a map of the area he would have easily found the nearby cable cab to get across.
Without set plans and lacking information of a new environment is tempting fate.

In the psychiatric evaluation, Johnson reveals that Kaczynski had persistent and intense sexual fantasies about being a woman. While he was a graduate student at the University of Michigan in 1967, he went to a psychiatrist to discuss his wishes for a sex change operation. But in the waiting room, he decided he could not go forward. Instead, he told the psychiatrist he was depressed about the possibility of being drafted.
His near confession of his feelings so filled him with rage, in this case directed at psychiatrists, that he went through a major transformation.
"As I walked away from the building afterwards," Kaczynski wrote in documents released today, "I felt disgusted about what my uncontrolled sexual cravings had almost led me to do. And I felt humiliated, and I violently hated the psychiatrist. Just then there came a major turning point in my life. Like a Phoenix, I burst from the ashes of my despair to a glorious new hope."
Kaczynski's new hope? To take his rage out on others, including the psychiatrist. "I will kill," Kaczynski wrote. "But I will make at least some effort to avoid detection so that I can kill again."
