Yes. He was unbelievably moronic. And he died because of it.
Not only dumb, but arrogant. Dunning Kruger of the highest order.
>Not only dumb, but arrogant. Dunning Kruger of the highest order.
This.
Good movie, but the real life guy was a fricking moron. He actually could have made his shit work if he had prepared.
>He graduated from Emory medical school and immediately just abandoned everything to be homeless.
I've known people who had professional careers just get completely burnt out and said frickit. They sold all their shit and went walkabout for a year or so. Truthfully right after college is probably the best time to do that but I can totally understand the desire. Thats the part of his story that resonates with me. Being a fricktard not so much.
>I've known people who had professional careers just get completely burnt out and said frickit.
His heart was in the right place I guess. If you ask me I think he was just mentally ill and was planning on killing himself. If his whole excursion was just an elaborate suicide, which I think it might have been, I can actually respect that. Wherever he wanted to go he clearly had no intention of returning from.
lmao I'm an arborist and I live in the boonies. I have spent my entire life in nature dude.
>lmao I'm an arborist and I live in the boonies. I have spent my entire life in nature dude.
you arent in nature if you take a shower once a week.
It's very easy to shit on Chris McCandless, but at least he did something. Billions of people read into the wild, do you think billions of people are going to read a book about your life when you go? A sad pathetic story about a loner that lived to 96 after doing nothing but posting on internet forums, eating McDonald's, playing Overwatch 2, and nibbling on the occasional dog turd you found on one of your walks around the city? No one's going to read that shit.
I didn't even read your post. That's how insignificant you are.
>It's very easy to shit on Chris McCandless
Yeah, when someone kills themself by being a moron it's very easy to call them a moron.
>but at least he did something.
And now he can't do anything.
>Billions of people read into the wild
And hopefully learning to not do what he died, because he died, like a dumbass.
Dying after you ate poison shit you found in the woods because you refused to even consider reading the "Don't Eat This Poisonous Shit You Can Find In The Woods" book makes you very stupid.
>Dying after you ate poison shit you found in the woods because you refused to even consider reading the "Don't Eat This Poisonous Shit You Can Find In The Woods" book makes you very stupid.
but he did. it's just the poisonous berry look very similar to edible berry
Clearly he didn’t read it if he looked at the berry and didn’t even consider
>hey wait a minute, let me check that book I think there’s a death berry that looks just like this one I should make sure before I eat it
he was starving and desperate
And he was in that position because he refused to do any kind of prep work before walking into the Alaskan bushlands. Stuff like “how to identify berries that will kill you” and “how to hunt for food” and “how to navigate by using the stars and landmarks”
Your reply shows you missed the point of the book entirely. His adventure is not meant to be admired. His story is an extreme case of a child burning their hand on a hot stove and learning their lesson. You don't admire a child for having the curiosity to touch a hot stove. The reason why 'into the wild' is in school curriculums is because it is so effective at teaching young airheaded teenagers that real life isn't a Disney movie. The beginning of the story fascinates the young and naive mind and the ending is dose of pure reality.

hmmmm.......
so what was your guys latest adventure
My latest adventure was continuing to be alive. Still on it.
I mean have you gone outside recently? I’m interested you just seem like you’re very cool
Yeah took the dogs for a walk to the park earlier. Didn't wander into an area I didn't know, eat poison beans, and then die spitting distance from help during, hence while I'm still alive.
You walked your parents dogs, what an adventure!
And I can do even more, thanks to being alive and not dead!
Yeah? What do you have planned?
I'll probably keep you seething a little longer with my replies, then ill go get a coffee
Coffee sounds nice you’ll need the energy for your long night of jerking off.
Anything I want, since I’m alive and above ground and not worm food under it.
Here's a great adventure, that you can involve your parents with too! Go out into the wilderness unprepared, die because of it, and have your parents lower your casket six feet under! Wow, fun for the whole family!
That’s a really funny joke anon, have you gone outside recently? I wanna hear about it, impress me.
Yeah dude I hiked Mount Kilimanjaro yesterday. No wait, I'm a grown up with a fricking job. I don't time for homosexual little "adventures". And you're here too so you're obviously not doing it either.
I didn’t know I was dealing with a grownup sorry! Tell me about the cool adventures you used to go own before you got married gramps
The one where I didn't die in the woods from shitting and puking my guts out
Being stationed at Ferizaj, KFOR n sheeeit.
That’s pretty cool, I bet most people don’t even know that place exists.
Last night I pulled an iron lid off of a storm sewer curb drain, and netted 4 ducklings that had jumped in. My wife herded them in range with a pool skimmers. Another lady held a flashlight. Got them reunited with mama duck, and into a pond across the street. Only slightly kabammed one fingertip.
That’s fricking cool anon, nice work.
I ate some cereal earlier in the comfort of my room instead of dying alone in the wilderness.
Nah it was corn flakes and I was listening to music.

This wouldn't be so pathetic if he had his shows on tv
No different than a Victorian gentlemen in his study wearing a fez dressed in a bathrobe, all while puffing his tobacco pipe reading classic literature.
That sounds pretty different to me
was it a large popcorn bowl with Cocoa Pebbles drowned in whole milk?
Jerked myself off under my coat while riding the bus.
What’s yours anon? Are you typing this response from the hostel youve laid your head ? Or just avoiding everyone downstairs over for Father’s Day.
I went hiking at Letchworth state park. I don't care about what you've done recently.
Drove over 1,000 miles alone in a 20 year old mini van with a janky transmission and no cell phone.
Made it.
I went hiking in Iceland, properly prepared and with people knowing my location in case things go wrong. Being adventurous is not the same as being moronic.
I traveled america with my dog in my woman living out of my van for 2 months. Saw 31 US states both Oceans, yellowstone, devils tower, Niagara, outer banks, Florida, New orleans, grand canyon, arches and dune parks, then as we were heading yo Vegas in middle of the night less than 10 days from heading home we crashed hitting a family of dear in Arizona. Thank God I happened to have family there that drove 3 hours to pick me up before I got a rental car to go home. The peak of my gfs existence in her eyes
Did you frick in all 31 states? Basically my plan for next year but don't know if it's feasible in a van after a few weeks I figure youd probably be tired and in bad shape ish
Tired and bad shape definitely. I never get sick but living out of my van I got very sick twice with only like 2 weeks in-between. This was in near peak summer heat and the 2nd time it was in the south. The van got so brutal that we cracked and stayed in some air bnbs and motels to basically rest. Lot of fun but very challenging on the constitution
Drove across Wyoming taking only dirt roads. Some freaky shit out there man.
That's the kind of shit I love. When I drove across America starting in oregon it wasn't anything quite like that but we drove on US route 20 from Newport oregon which goes all the way to Boston MA. It took us through numerous small town type areas we never would've seen otherwise but halfway through it was hard keeping the route and we ended up rejoining it in Illinois or something
not any of them but went to medellin colombia, shit's crazy for foreign dick.
My wife was upset that we were out of lime-ade so I drove 25 minutes to the store (normally 15 on weekends but there was more traffic today than usual) to get some lime-made. Also got a little something for daddy too (6 pack of modelo).
If you want to go off on an "adventure" without being moronic, it's super-easy
>find nearest big state park
>get proper equipment you'd need to survive in the wilderness
>tell a park ranger that you're going to the "primitive camping areas" in the farthest fringes of the park and to expect you back in two or three days
>emerge two or three days later in good health and spirits
It's not hard
I walked to the 7/11 down the street and bought a monster (sugar-free) and some dorritos.
Didn't he also indirectly kill several other moronic people because they went out looking for his bus, got lost, and died? When you think about it that's kind of based.
Enough people died trying to reach his Suicide Bus that they brought in a helicopter and flew the bus away. It would be based if it was intentional, but it wasn't. Just morons moroning their way out of the genepool.
>Just morons moroning their way out of the genepool.
nothing of value being lost
Except some helicopter fuel.
Lol just like taking the Unabomber’s shack my fricking sides
has anyone tried to find the new location of the bus?
How did the bus even get there? I mean the first location where he died
hippies probably left it there decades earlier
>copying a book makes you smart
I hate normies so much lmao
He went his own way much like that one penguin that marches off to certain doom in that one documentary. Why is one 'based' and 'le tragic' but this isn't?
inb4 the thread gets flooded with commie burnouts
>Was he an idiot or something?
Yes. He grew up in suburbia and had no idea how hard living off the land actually is and died due to his stupidity.
>poisoned himself
yes
>dude society's rules are all bullshit
>EXCEPT FOR THE AGE OF CONSENT LAWS, NO TEEN HIPPIE PUSSY FOR ME!
Where did this come from? Seems random.
>t. Hasn't seen the movie
Didn't know if it was movie related, or just some anon going on a bipolar /misc/ tangent because he hasn't touched grass in 20 years.
Seems weird how "anarchists" think there should still be rules in anarchy. Highly ironic.
it's basically the climax of the movie. He finally finds abunch of hippies who agree with everything he says and believes in. At first, he seems genuinly happy to be in like minded company. But in reality, he's just a larper and isnt willing to fully embrace the life style he claims he believes in. He isnt willing to do anything that would actually challenge society and its rules. A young girl wants penis in vegana nakadashi baby making sex with him, since he acts like a the giga chad uber hippy but he spergs out about it and wont break society's fundemental rule on not having a relationship with a minor, especially not a lower class one. He basically runs away from his supposed paradise because he knows if he becomes an unmarried father to an underaged girl his family would actually disown him. He never intentionally does anything in his whole adventure to risk his life or his life style. He knows he can always go back to being a successful upper-middle class first born while he rides the line. It never occured to him during his larp that he could fail, much less lose his life.
a young girl wants to suck his dick in the middle of the movie but he 'NO WAY, gay's her.
Yes. Locals warned him about going out there and he ignored them.
He was Uncle Ted but stupid
Hubris
Not as big of an idiot as grizzly man, but yeah, he deserved everything that happened to him.
grizzly man actually stopped poachers, he completed a task that wasn't completely selfish and he brought a girl with him to frick.
Most people are bro. Most people are.
Why are eco-liberals always morons who run around in the woods alone with no training, experience, or tools?
Eco-Conservatives actually respect nature for what it is. Like a beautiful flower with thorns.
>eco-libs
I've known so many of those fricking people. A lot of them are actually decent outdoorsmen but its an absolute pain in the fricking ass being around them. I met this one dude on the trail who was from San Francisco (surprise) who took the "leave no trace" rule to such as extreme that he carried around a special little bag that he would pick up his shit and keep it in his pack because he didn't want to disrespect nature.
Those type of people really just bring the fun out of the outdoors. Obv don't be a shithead and litter but good god accept the fact that humans exist and a trace will be left no matter what. I'm going to build a fire and I don't need some hippie b***h telling me to put it out because it will remind you that you are on a fricking curated trail maintained by the government. If you want a real Cinemaphile experience find a place you can safely go innawoods.
>Eco-Conservatives actually respect nature for what it is. Like a beautiful flower with thorns.
Is that why they have no qualms in destroying it? I'm not saying that sarcastically by the way. Conservatives probably realize that improving our standard in living means jeopardizing the environment and they choose the future of humanity rather than the future of Mother Earth.
I think he's talking about rednecks and country folk he just used bad wording.
You'd still be right though, even though they live in the woods they do not respect that shit one bit. Urbanite hippies, despite being annoying as frick, at least pick up after themselves
Corporate Shills =/= Conservatives
I've been hiking and camping my entire life and have done plenty of innawoods bushwhacking shit. If you ever bring up McCandless's name in those circles people will fricking laugh at you. The kid was so beyond stupid reading the book written by him actually blows my mind. He graduated from Emory medical school and immediately just abandoned everything to be homeless. The fact he survived as long as he did is a miracle. Then this idiot goes into into the middle of wilderness with no map, no prep, hardly any materials and was too fricking stupid to even try to research where he was going. Civilization was literally a few hours from where he was. He found an abandoned bus but the idea that maybe there might be some sort of facility with people around simply didn't pop into his autistic ass brain.
When I used to hit up the Appalachian trail I'd talk to a lot of hikers and I cannot tell you how many times I've heard these """through hikers""" site Into The Wild as their reason to make the 5 month long journey. That shit is the litmus test to know who is going to burn out.
>Also the Appalachian trail is full of the most obnoxious fricking people on the planet who treat being outdoors the same way you'd treat a yoga session. City people ruin fricking everything. I hope McCandless's death was as painful as it looked in the movie.
Bro, take a chill pill
I had a bad experience with one of those morons that nearly ruined a camping trip last weekend and I'm still mad
Youre an urbanite who likes the outdoors, actual men of the wild are lot more mellow and sympathetic to those who live by wit and will.
>gatekeeping people from hiking and exploring outdoors
He just ate toxic berries
>Find bus parked on a road
>Follow road back to civilisation
???
The van was in the middle of nowhere iirc
He was 28 miles from Healy, and a bus isn't getting very far off the road. That's 2 to 3 days of hiking. His entire issue was that he was a massive brainlet and waited too long to realize he was too stupid to live off the wilderness, staying at the bus for 2 months before trying to leave but being unable to.
He was a commie, so yes.
was he suicidal or something
no
he was free
but freedom aint free
He embodies the men of old who would go off into the wilds to become heroes and champions
not everyone comes back, but everyone who goes is a step above those who do not.
Just get a job and play D&D on weekends lmao
D&D is a more pathetic surrogate activity than video games.
>t. no friends to play with
lmao
I would rather go fishing with the friends than play make believe.
>my social event good
>your social event bad
fishing is for homosexual boomer rednecks who can't even operate a phone
>who can't even operate a phone
Don't need a phone when you have smoke signals.
no, he was an addict
I wish I had the option of going full blown hunter gatherer. But in my fantasy world it wouldn't be some brown tribe in South America but an Anglophone one in the forests of England, much like that meme image.
Anyone with an iq over 70 would've wondered how the bus got there in the first place and looked for the road. He never did and assumed he was trapped.
>bruh at least he died...like...doing what he loves doing
>bruh at least he tried to live like a man
>bruh what was your latest adventure
>bruh this is sad because he was a leftie
The "gotcha" attempts in these threads are always cringe.
The gotchas in this thread are kino because there are living dead 25+ year olds in this thread that are basically starving themselves in a much slower and more moronic way than some guy did in a bus in the wilderness.
Protoredditor
He your typical case of someone born into wealth who has everything from day 1 and is incredibly naive and out of touch with reality because of it. He bought into the hippie romanticism meme and thought he knew better than the collective efforts of the entirety of human civilization. And when he was finally humbled, it was over.
It's like playing creative mode in minecraft. You can spawn TNT and create the largest explosion you can, but then you immediately lose interest in the game. This dude was born into creative mode, got bored of it, and thought he could handle hardcore survival mode.
Women literally will never understand this
They actually misunderstand it. They see him as a free spirit living his best life who was tragically victim to an unlucky accident.
>t. young femoid teacher was obsessed and had us read the book and watch the movie
Yes. He was an idealistic liberal kid who was pampered throughout life. His decision to abandon every thing was his sole act without support and it killed him.
He went after what he wanted. He had more balls and courage than anyone on Cinemaphile. That's why he got a book written about him and a movie made.
But he didn't have the two braincells required to understand that you have to prepare for things(especially as a city gay). Unfortunate.
It doesn't take balls to be homeless, it's literally the easiest thing in the world.
Plenty of those about. Even when I was hiking around Sacfell I came across a group of people lost without a map and compass. Had to navigate them off the mountain. Yes they were all from London. It's embarrassing how many people lack basic skills, how to take a bearing, light a fire, even just simple navigation children learn as Scouts.
ROFL, in 1990 you're better off dead than having your final report card like this
i keep wondering how quickly he would have died if he hadnt stumbled upon that bus
he didnt bring any tools to build any sort of shelter, he would have been dead within a week
i love these threads, why does he make neckbeards seethe so much?
I think it's almost poetic that the guy who rejected society and went out into nature eventually died within the one piece of society left in the nature the bus. The average Cinemaphilener would survive as good as he did
He was dumb and his movie was gay
>defending mcandless
He believed getting far enough away from civilization/society would activate the latent solo-survival superpowers dormant in every human being, because he couldn’t comprehend any other way for humans to have survived before society.
If the soul was real, and after he died he left his body and floated upwards, and got a look at how far he was from a major highway, he would’ve been convinced that’s the reason his superpowers didn’t activate.
He wasn’t just a moron, he was delusional as well.
Interesting theory I haven't heard before, but this makes the most sense. I've always had the impression that McCandless was partially suicidal as well, so even though he intended to survive as long as possible in the "wilderness," he didn't really care enough about life to do the basic preparations he would need to survive for any length of time.
His dad wasn’t that nice to him so he was le sad so he went to go kill himself in an elaborate retatded way
This guy and Grizzly Man essentially killed Cinemaphile forever to normies. If I had a time machine I’d go back to Alaska and beat their heads in with sticks so at least they’d get murdered and not die thru stupidity.
If he wanted to die, why did he bring his 5kg of rice. What's the point of that. he shot a deer and then most of it rotted because he was too brainlet to into preservation. He didn't die of "poison beans" he died of starvation in the middle of a lot of food. Yes he was a goddamned idiot.
Each passing day I relate to him more and more
This Black person missed most of the 90's because he wanted to doody in the woods lmao.
"I can just fish salmon if I get hungry"
Uh....what?
alaska is a well known vaction spot for sports fishermen, with salmon being one of the main attractions. The problem though, is that salmon only run through alaska's rivers during specific time frames, and only through certain rivers.
I watched this film at uni and thought it was a load of drivel. The two fellas I watched it with were enamoured with the whole thing but I just couldn't see it. He gave up everything he had and got himself killed out of his own ignorance/arrogance.
why did he go to alaska?
>trying to escape parents
>dad had government contract jobs in alaska in his youth
Muh frontier
