Re: Did Chris have a girlfriend?

Kitz, like so many others you confuse the movie and perhaps the books for that of the reality, which none of us truly know. Chris had clear bonds and relationships with people, perhaps not sexual but to say that he wanted no relationship is misguided to say the least. Many months of his quest are u...

Re: What role, if any, did ...

Mushroom poisoning is a common problem here in California. Recently, a nurse at an old age home made mushroom soup from wild shrooms, and four old ladies died. Mushrooms destroy the liver, and it takes a few weeks for some varieties to completely destroy the liver and cause death. Death by liver tox...

A sad story. Is modern society driving a few to madness?

http://www.sacbee.com/2012/07/04/4609015/dad-feels-anguish-disbelief-with.html Linnea Lomax disappeared in June. Her decomposed body was found last week about two miles from the outpatient mental health clinic she snuck out of. This whole story begs the question: are the pressures of modern society ...

Re: asperger's

I really think that Chris KNEW he was different, different from the mindless materialistic zombies who decades after his journey would be crying over slashed credit limits which hampered their ability to buy "stuff". When "science" gets such a person, the first thing they do is t...

Re: Does footage of the real Christopher McCandless exist?

My understanding is that such footage existed at one time, but it was lost after Ron/Russell died, and may no longer exist. It's not clear what happened to Russell's possessions once he died. In many cases the possessions of old people who die without a family or will are simply thrown in the trash....

He forages in dumpsters and eats wild food, lives on public lands and occasionally accepts help from strangers. He says he is on a spiritual journey. More at the link.

Re: actually LIVING IN THE WOODS??

You need a place that you can put on land without the "authorities" knowing. I am looking into land in Oregon. I have noted that Klamath County, for example, regulates "stick" structures (with foundations) and forbids trailers (wheeled RVs). However, the law says nothing about a ...

Re: Chris's "fear of water"...

Maybe "phobia" was the wrong word. Chris was likely afraid of crossing the river because of his prior experiences. He almost drowned twice that we know of, one was at Detrital Wash during the flash flood, the other was in the Gulf of California during the storm. He told Jim Gallien that he...

Chris's "fear of water"...

I woke up this morning with a thought as to why Chris didn't try to cross the Teklanika. In the book, where it talks about Jim Gallien giving a ride to Chris, Krakauer mentions that Chris told Gallien that he was afraid of the water, because of what happened in Mexico, where Chris nearly died in a s...
