Re: Reasons behind Chris's name change
I believe that the reasoning behind Chris's name change is because he wanted to change his entire life. When he found out about his father's history and past affair, he no longer felt that his family was anything that he should be proud of. He went to Alaska to forget about all of the things that h...

Re: WAY selfish
True unabashed selfishness. Turning his back on his family like he did was a despicable act. He left them to wonder what became of him. He had every right to go off and disenfranchise himself from the world as he did. For as long as he liked. But in order to meet the code of 'Do unto others' he nee...

Re: Carine McCandless is writing a memoir...
For clarity, there was no specificity regarding 'when' she started writing it. I really don't think it matters when. I know I certainly don't care when she started writing it. As always though, we must take what the media regurgitates with a grain of salt. The reporter incorrectly stated that Carin...

Re: Ron Lamothe documentary available on DVD?
I'm just going on what I was told. I'm not going to try and defend it as I would have no way of knowing for certain. All I will say is that I'm positive my source was un-measurably closer to Chris than any roommate. Perhaps there was some kind of misunderstanding. I sense some backpedaling from thi...

Re: Jon Krakauers article in the New Yorker
Go North, ask Jon Krakauer. These seeds of hyperbole and hype are ones he planted to dismiss the possibility that Chris was a combination of arrogance, hubris, and willful ignorance. And ask yourself why a "journalist" would agree to pay the family for a "story" and somehow still...

Why now?
And, by the way, she didn't just start writing it. This "project" stems from her parents' exclusion of her from the "Back to the Wild" book and video, and that occurred quite sometime ago, press release facts notwithstanding.
