Ive read quite a few articles on being homeless by choice and was pretty intrigued. In the end though I decided that, while I may be somewhat of a minimalist, that sorta life style is far to extreme for me. | |

Great movie. Eddie Vedder doing the music for that movie makes it soooo much better. Love the soundtrack. | |

Those of you harping on McCandless have missed some important information. He wasn't just some uninformed wanderer, he did a ton of research on living like he did, but like most people, he didn't cover everything. The berry he ate looked EXACTLY like one that he knew was edible, and he forgot that there was an identical poisonous one. We all die somehow. He hardly died foolishly, but that's not to say that statistically he was looking at death more closely than some of us who live the normal life. |

wandering off into the wilderness poorly equipped, trained and prepared is either naivete or stupidity -- kind of on par with taking on Everest w/ a stick and backpack full of cliff bars 'cause you read some good books on bouldering.... I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and go with naivete. | |

It wasnt that his actions meant that he was to reach a sooner end. He cared fuck all about that. He wanted to really learn how to live. | |

lol are people saying he was poorly equipped and knowledgeable? What? The guy survived for quite some time in very unforgiving territory. He was no Les Stroud, but he most certainly was no novice. |

This pretty much sums up how ill prepared he was: there was a hand operated tram a 1/4 mile from where he tried to cross the river on his way out, a tram that is shown on regional maps. He had no idea it was there, however, because he didn't bring a map. | |

@Boost - I think I understand what you're saying. It really depends here on how you parse motive/intent and action. The act of independent journey as a part of self-discovery is a pretty foundational part of the human experience. His act of wandering into the woods in pursuit of discovery could be interpreted in this way. | |

I still completely think you are caught up on the results. His chance of returning would be insanely hard to determine and I think saying its a very slim chance is absurd. | |
