He didn't even know that bus would be there, its been a while but I don't even remember him owning a tent...

Dumbfuck had multiple people try and help him prepare and even buy him supplies when they couldn't convince him not to go into the fucking wilds with basically nothing. Died due to his ego and ignorance, just like all those white bitches that go backpacking overseas only to get raped and beheaded.

Does the film do that thing 127 Hours did where it said "yes this guy struggled but he was a fucking idiot"? I could at least get behind that

That was my point dum dum

I've never seen it but wasn't he an experienced climber? He just didn't tell anyone where he was going. OPs example is a sheltered child with no experience and a huge ego getting wrecked by the nature he loved so much

well congratulations, there's no bus
now what's the next step of your master plan

Just a selfish guy wanting to be famous

he got lucky and died because of stupidity
quite fitting
good movie, though
great music

>Kills an animal
>Has no idea how to butcher or store the meat
>Thinks he will survive on plants in the Alaskan wilderness in winter

I think this was just the world's slowest and most painful suicide attempt

WE COULD BE HEROES

Sky king ;_;

lucky that he found the bus, i mean

Sean Penn is a glowie spook.

There literally isn't one there anymore
>after the movie people started trying to visit the bus as a pilgrimage
>they're all the same kind of stupid he was and would get lost, hurt, or even die trying to visit
>they got a fucking transport chopper to lift the bus out and put it someplace more accessible so dipshits would stop dying

no fucking way

checked
he is, he should've left chappie alone
but this movie is good regardless of how you feel about him
they removed and put it back once, too, i believe
i might have some wrong info, though
>funniest part is, there's a bridge with i belive traintrack that he could've crossed when the river was too high to cross, dipshit didn't even know

Dude was Stupid. simple as that.

And Because of his death, we get all this fake ass "alaskan mountain men" tv shows teaching us "how to do it" while in reality even they get lost in their own wilderness.

both sides are stupid.

I play video essay YT bullshit in the background when I do housework and listened to youtu.be/FaqHyMOxqiw last week, everything I heard just made me hate the kid more.
I think it was an elevated zipline bridge or something? it comes up in the vid I linked but I can't remember exactly.

checked
could be, been long since i looked up the info
confused sweet potatoes with a poisonous plant, too
dumbass should've stayed where he was
but i guess normies are easily taken by the big words of "better" men

>without basic survival skills.
he survived over 100 days. He had skills. But at the same time he was a moron and if he were better prepared he could survive years there.

he should've tried this in some semi-remote woods
going out in the wild with bare skillset is just asking for trouble, as evidenced

>He didn't even know that bus would be there
it’s not like he wandered directly to the bus. He probably slept outside for a while or made some makeshift shelters

and he spent a good portion of it bedridden and unable to move , slowly withering away because he had no survival skills beyond flipping a coin on whats edible and whats poisonous. The only things he had out there was his ego, a bus, and a finite amount of dumb luck.

>What exactly was his plan
to die tbqh

>imagine how stoked he must've been to find that shitty bus

>he survived over 100 days.
No, it took him 100 days to starve to death.

man spent generations learning to live in the wilderness, passing knowledge on to the next. No one woke up one day, traveled to a new area and became a master in it over night.

he didn't starve
he at something poisonous that looked similar to sweet potatoes, allegedly

>it took him 100 days to starve to death.
american education

that's krakauer's cope

is it?
it's just what i read when i looked it up after the movie
seems to be penn's cope, too, then
>i can believe he starved, since he was too stupid to find the bridge so close to his position

Reminder that the dipshit stole stuff from random peoples' cabins.

>man spent generations learning to live in the wilderness, passing knowledge on to the next. No one woke up one day, traveled to a new area and became a master in it over night.
They also didn't ignore all the "knowledge" that was passed onto them by people more experienced than them out of a exaggerated sense of self-worth, or at least the one who survived didn't. The fact we don't instantly know how to live in the woods doesn't excuse going in with no preparation or research, he was a stuck up brat who though he knew better than anyone and he got exactly what he deserved.

so supertramp was an asshole, too
not surprised in the least
too bad penn found it necessary to glorify the cunt

Maybe he just wanted the raw experience? He got it.

in spades

He felt it was his duty to do all the on-foot travel and expected to walk through the woods until he hit the sea, the last guy who drove him up was literally begging the kid to let him buy proper gear and forced boots and food onto him when he couldn't convince the kid not to go into the woods. All he had was a 10lb bag of rice, a .22 and ammo, a sleeping bag, and the clothes on his back.

>begging the kid to let him buy proper gear
Let him buy him proper gear

and it was middle of winter lel

By Jon Krakauer. Which is why the title is so similar to Into Thin Air (a superb book).

kid was too hard headed for it
refused every offer of help
>according to the movie, anyways

No that part's right, multiple people went above and beyond to try and warn/prepare him for what he wanted to do and he brushed them off like there was no way he could have issues.

And he could have lived if he had done the bare minimum of getting a map and talking to the local forestry service or even listening to the guy who drove him up and was begging to let him drive them to the next town and buy survival equipment for the kid.

newyorker.com/books/page-turner/how-chris-mccandless-died

Guys, even though no trace of plant toxins were found in McCandless’s autopsy and doctors concluded that the dumbass flat out starved to death, the author confirmed the seeds killed him because in WW2 Jewish prisoners were given bread made from the grass pea to starve them so their bodies would be thinner and could freeze solid faster and then shattered in front of their friends.

I hope the article just says "because he was a dumbass"

checked
it is implied that the lad had familial issued, too, that together with being taking by the big words of all these writers those "big brain" people have to read really did a number on his own feeble mind
looks like the lad just went fubar and said fuck it
i get burning his identifications so he can't be found, but burning your money is just a dumbdumb move
>also: supertramp, WTF?

such a sad state of affairs, but i'm not sure if what he studied would've helped him much, if at all, in what he was doing lel

>also: supertramp, WTF?
"Tramp" isn't just a word that means a slut. It's also slang for vagrants.

Crazy that it's fine to eat if you're healthy, but will paralyze you if you have a very meager diet
>Had McCandless’s guidebook to edible plants warned that Hedysarum alpinum seeds contain a neurotoxin that can cause paralysis, he probably would have walked out of the wild in late August with no more difficulty than when he walked into the wild in April, and would still be alive today.
What a load of shit, the kid was already malnourished from living off small game, rice, and berries. No way he wouldn't have wound up collapsing later or died in a last ditch attempt to ford the river again.

no but they don't try to paint him as some intellectual either, I don't get why some people get so hung up on this dude. he constantly fucks up in the movie.

127 Hours was interesting but the director look quite a few liberties with the story so you have to go back to the source material to get the real story.

>supertramp, WTF?
user...
youtube.com/watch?v=GpAUDOI24Oo
youtube.com/watch?v=6a_q5Th10ls

indeed, all i got from it was that he was pretty full of himself
pretty disgusting
don't think he was alluding to that
he seemed pretty full of himself and was probably sucking his own dick by naming himself that
all baseless specualtion of course, but seeing how he refused most things offered, even prime cunny, it checks out to me

>that thing 127 Hours did where it said "yes this guy struggled but he was a fucking idiot"
I don't remember that movie making him out to be an idiot.

It's the New Yorker so they can spend a dozen pages saying essentially that but in elaborate prose.

I mean the main character literally even says he was fucking stupid for doing this and not taking precautions, the whole film is about his journey from boy to man via maturity

the dude in 127 hours was a moron too, going out alone in places like that is just asking for trouble
but i guess the old idiom
>it takes one to know one still holds true to this day

He has videos on iFit where he goes back to the canyon. He seems to have accepted the consequences of his mistakes pretty well.

He believed getting away from civilization would activate the latent solo-survival superpowers that enabled primitive man to survive without civilization.

Living in Atlanta will do that to you.

does he still do it alone?
dude really believed any old bullshit he read, it seems, so impressionable

Pretty sure there's a whole film crew with him.
