Re: Original 20/20 Show Featuring Chris
You are most welcome, Julia! Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I too noticed there were a couple new pictures in there. I hope those pictures are featured in the book "Back to The Wild" and it's documentary.

Re: What did Chris eat?
Chris ate mostly edible wild plants and food that was prepared by others, like Wayne's girlfriend that cooked for him and from others that he befriended. He did work at a fast food restaurant chain (McDonald's, if I am correct) for a short time as well, but it is believed that he didn't eat there.

Original 20/20 Show Featuring Chris
Here is a link to the original, rare 20/20 show featuring Chris' story. It's nicely produced, as you would expect from 20/20, but of course some of the content and information is not entirely correct. Most, if not all of us, here will notice some of the details are generalized, modified, or simply n...

Re: Spirituality and the natural world.
Gary, I like the title of this subject thread. It would be good to discuss the relationship between nature and spirituality. Many yogis, Qi Gong masters and native peoples seek nature to find answers in their quests for enlightenment. This is very fascinating and I'd like to read what experiences ot...

Re: New Music in honor of Chris McCandless
Hey, Deiwson, that was great man! Beautiful! Loved it! Can you post the lyrics in English, please? And where can I buy a copy of it? It reminds me of "Knocking On Heaven's Door" by Bob Dillon but mixed in with a bit of Guns n Roses' version flare. Great work you are very talented. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)

Re: Jon Krakauers article in the New Yorker
GoNorth, That's exactly what I don't get. Even without the seeds I don't think Chris would seem arrogant etc. Or - for those who like to hate the guy anyway, this theory doesn't change anything anyway. I don't see a "higher value" of dying from poisoning compared to dying from starvation. ...

Re: Carine McCandless is writing a memoir...
Guys, do you think the book/video of "Back To The Wild" and "The Wild Truth" are worth buying and reading/viewing? Also, I wonder about the documentary "The Call of The Wild"? Is that one any good and worth purchasing? Any of these do you feel are better than the others...

Re: What to do in the meantime?
If You want to be serious about surviving in the wild, you will need to read up on your plant species and read Tom Brown's Survival book. Tom is a survival guide and teacher. My father and brother went to his school in northern New Jersey, in the mountains that is. Tom was taught by an Apache Indian...

Re: why not nature?
Chris was in nature. While in nature, you still need shelter. The Magic Bus was his shelter and his grave, most literally.
