What an absurd story. Wikipedia lists one travel, in fact the first and last one. How sad. And why the heck do you venture out into the bushes only to live in a abandoned bus? I mean, yeah, how convenient. I can see that. But it is also weird.

Tragically, he could've crossed the river he thought was blocking his way back to civilization by a hand-operated cable car only 800 meters away from his shelter. He wandered into the wild without a good map. To his credit, though, there is the possibility that he was simply unable to walk because he poisoned himself accidentally [0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_McCandless#Lathyrism_due_to_ODAP_in_hedysarum_alpinum_seeds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_McCandless#Lathyrism_due...

- mlang23 6y agoI would imagine that someone inclined to live in the bushes by themselves would be interested in/wanting to build their shelter themselves, or at least use something that has natural origin. At least that is how I imagine it. What did you achieve if you leave civilisation behind only to use something a shelter which wouldnt exist without civilisation?
