What a dumbass

If he was by himself then who took the picture? Explain that one, atheists

It was all shot in a Hollywood studio, duh.

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.

Don’t be a hippie. I used to live near Wasilla. There’s so much shit you can eat in the woods that aren’t plants. Many fresh water streams with fish as well.

>Be hippie
>Piss on the heritage of the Inuit by pretending you can survive on your own right off the mark where they needed to build a whole culture around surviving in the arctic

why didn't he just walk around the river?

Yet an even bigger dumbass made a film about this man's mistakes and thought it would be Oscar worthy

was planning on loading up a pack with some camping shit and provisions and just walking off into the mountains. wonder how that will turn out.

this film and grizzly man are warnings

post feet

Why didn't he brought with him a fishing pole?

People believe in stories, not reality. He probably didn't think much of the possibility of dying until push came to shove. Lots of people live in fantasy worlds like that and are desperate to find a purpose to keep on living. I can't even blame him.

Another portion to this story only recently unveiled was that his father led a double life. McCandles found out that he had two half-siblings from another relationship his father had kept secret from the family. Being that he was extremely idealistic, this drove him away and is probably why he went totally radio silent on his family. This is all according to his sister, mind you, in an interview/book released about three or so years ago.

Anyways. He was educated, he was well-liked, he was known as being a very sincere and kind-hearted person who met him. He just happened to be very moralistic as well, and his father's betrayal probably drove him into a frenzy and a desire to escape.

Found an article if anybody's interested in reading it. There was more bubbling underneath the surface than just a desire to be a cool hippy.

Never saw the movie but this dude was an insufferable cunt in the book. Fuck him.

Why was this fucking book mandatory reading in school?

Statistics now show that divorces are more damaging to children than the death of a parent or adoption.

was it? they just made us read catcher in the rye

at least he pwned his boomer parents by starving to death near a freeway

i mean yes, but you have no idea how much i love the movie. I think it's amazing

I was in high school in the early 00s and they made us read it. Don't know how it is for zoomers.

>the normalfags in this thread pretending like they would have done better than mccandless

how delusional!

the average person in this thread would probably die like the pampered consumerist wage cuck that he is

I’m still alive he isn’t

Order me a. Pizza brah

i'd just live in a trailer with kstew and slap that ass

you've just described a hippie.

a person who can live alone out in the desert or woods without help is rare.
even survivalists can't make it which is why they'll only stay in the desert or woods for a limited amount of time(with a vehicle so they can exit any time they want)

>only recently unveiled

But they tell that part in the movie

hope you enjoy being a cuck to your boss

Based. Devil trips have never been wrong.

>didn't even bring a map

The film itself and especially the soundtrack is godtier though.

Who was in the wrong

Him or his parents?

his death was mostly due to berries that he ate that made him paralyzed. he knew how to exit but there was a river(that got wider) blocking the exit. he was too weak to cross it

>they would have done better than mccandless
I would have done better in the sense that I know nothing about surviving in the wilderness and I'm not retarded so I know not to try it

most survivalists are normies who are full of shit. they stay in the woods for a limited amount of time with supplies they got from a store and pretend like they can survive in the woods

societyyy

god eddie vedder sucks

wasnt
his body shut down due to rabbit-starvation

His plan wasn't to stay in the woods forever tho.

ah bloo bloo

well he succeeded

I literally never read any book that was required reading in school

actually it was his plan to stay there forever. he was trying to find a way to live off the land. the reason he left was because he had a hard time surviving off the land. he had to go back into town to get supplies and food

My plan wasn't to stay on Yea Forums forever either, but here I be.

what a fag lmao

Didn't he told to one of the friends he met on his way that he planned to stay in Alaska for a year then comeback and write books about his adventures?

If he did bring a map, he would have seen not very far away from his bus that there was a small bridge crossing the river that would lead him to safety. He was hardly in the middle of nowhere as well.

>make a movie about some fag that starved to death
>ah fuck that makes him sound like a retard uhhhhhh OH what if we changed it to where he ate poison berries

I legitimately don't understand why this guy is as well regarded as he is.

The fucking moron walked into the Alaskan bush with fuck all for supplies, no map, no real plan, and just figured he'd be ok? And some dumbass truck driver actually offered to buy him proper gear but he turned it down?

He was a fucking retard and borderline suicidal, why is he some kind of folk hero?

should've just banged one of his half sisters to stir shit up. chris didn't understand 3d chess.

because we're talking about americans here

why he didn't fuck kstew??

he's a faaAag

at least he's more respectable than henry david thoreau who only lived in his cabin for 3 years. a lot of the time he stayed in emerson's house with his family.
after those 3 years he was a neet who lived with his parents

he preached independence but never actually lived it

So is that it? Getting lost in the wild and fucking dying of starvation is some sort of, independence thing?

How is he fucking respectable? If anything he's a cautionary tale "Don't be a fucking idiot innawoods"

He had no money you silly

he didn't get lost in the wild. do you even know the story?
he knew how to exit. he couldn't exit because he was paralyzed because of some berries that he ate. it made him weak and he ended up starving to death

i am pretty sure he knew the risks involved and did it anyway. how is that stupid?

not him, but he died of starvation. The berries are the idealized hollywood version of the story.
