Christopher McCandless Into The Wild
Alexander Supertramp
This website is designed to give you a complete overview of Christopher McCandless (Alexander Supertramp) and the book/movie 'Into The Wild' that followed his passing. It is a moving story about a young man chasing after his dream and ultimate Alaskan adventure.
*News 18th December 2012* - We have received a paper from a staff member of the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and a published author who has won numerous awards for fiction, nonfiction and poetry. You can read his paper and theory on Chris McCandless' death here.
The slideshow you see above
are pictures that Chris took as well a picture of his belt that he
made with Ronald Franz.
For those of you unaware, Chris was a young man
that travelled throughout North America living off the barest of
essentials and in most cases, off the land. Unfortunately, he paid the
ultimate price for this in the end and was found perished in an
abandoned Fairbanks City bus on the Stampede Trail in Alaska. His name
became famous after Jon Krakaeur wrote an award winning book about his
adventures which eventually became a world famous movie by Sean Penn.
After being exposed to this amazing story, I felt compelled to design
this website. This website and my endeavors have connected me with the
McCandless family. In August 2010, Billie and Walt McCandless sent me some
pictures and information about Chris in his early years. You can see
them on his Early Years page.
I have also been in contact with Chris's sister Carine. She has
submitted a personal letter to the visitors of this site, as have a few
of Chris's other siblings. They can be read
here. For more information on
Carine's work and efforts dedicated to Chris, you can visit her
website.
I have been working with Chris' parents Walt and
Billie McCandless on a new book about Chris and his adventures through
his journal and hundreds of photographs.
Here is the official trailer to the 'Back To The Wild' DVD narrated by Hal Holbrook (who played Ron Franz in the movie 'Into The Wild'.
Here is a picture of the new book cover! The
official website is:

Carine has started an annual fund raising event called the
Chris McCandless
Memorial Run on Saturday, October 13, 2012.
If you are a student or a member of the forum and you have a lot to say
about the story, we can create a page for you on this website with your
picture and your thoughts. We have had some great
submissions already. Send us an
email if you would like your research paper/story also added to the
website! Don't forget to leave a message on the forum or on the new
facebook group page.
