Christopher McCandless

We made a couple phone calls and its another bus they pulled. I am sure they will end up pulling this one eventually. It was funny when m y buddy showed up cause it was news to me. It was always rumor. I guess if your going to go to the bus you better start making plans. Stampede trail was left an o...

My buddy just stopped by and they are pulling the bus off the trail. After the last death the park service wants it gone. Not a joke.

Honestly Alaska is great for about 5-6 months. Interior is pretty dry. We don't even have any snow yet and the temp is 56 right now. Sitting in my shop with the door open. By the way I'm in Fairbanks. Great to summer here and then head south to Mexico. Thats going to be the plan when I retire. I own...

Yes, dude, I know all about the history of the Stampede Trail. Jon Krakauer said that there were 3 or 4 buses, and that the others were removed. This one is situated at about the point where the road building stopped, apparently. I never said that "the bus is Chris's". I'm sorry that Asce...

Clearly, neither of you bothered to read my comments in the broader context of the thread. I’m only going to say this one time, so read along closely. Oh, I have read closely. You seem to know more about Alaska from your vast knowledge of searching the internet and drinking Latte's while reading th...

I haven't seen any pics of the Bus being trashed, and I don't want to, nor do I want to hike to the Bus at this late date knowing it's likely just another trash tree out in the non-pristine wilderness. I want to remember it as Chris saw it. Your post reminded me of why the Unabomber set his bombs, ...

I have been browsing around this site since being told to come check this place out. I have been to the bus a couple times. Great place to set up hunting camp. Yes it is spiritual but for different reasons than what most are looking for here. I would like to make a suggestion for reading for anyone ...

Chris died in the wild with a.22 and bag of rice. he didn't survive. The funny thing is that you say "that redneck probably never read "Into the Wild". Well, there's two simple responses to that. First off. Up her we do not glorify people going on "walkabouts" into the wild...

Posted this on our local Alaskan Web Boards. HERE IS ALASKA'S NEW ENEMY. THIS GUY WANTS TO COME TO ALASKA IN THE WORST WAY AND GO INTO THE WILDERNESS BUT THINKS ALL ALASKAN LOCALS ARE *******'S. IF YOU SEE THIS GUY SOMEDAY AND HE IS IN NEED OF HELP BECAUSE HE'S STUCK IN THE WILD REMIND HIM YOUR A LO...

The thing I hate about these kinds of "I can't believe it hasn't happened sooner" articles, is that they never take into account the hundreds of people who have visited the bus without incident. They always focus on the mishaps. To my knowledge, this is the first person to die attempting ...
