Re: Was Chris a hero or a fool?
Perspective is everything. Change your perspective and your conclusion will change. Hersh describes Chris's dilemma from his own perspective. There is a cultural perspective involved as well and some basic assumptions that tilt the balance before the facts are weighed. From that perspective Hersh is...

Re: McCandless and Treadwell thoughts ...
Welcome Teemo. I don't see much in common either other than the obvious and oversimplified, Alaska/wilderness/death. However it seems enough for a lot of people to consider them practically the same. I'm not impressed with Treadwell at all, he could have just as well died in an alley with a needle i...

Re: Parts were stolen from the bus and put on Ebay...
1) I would certainly be up for a trip out there to patch up the bus. I wouldn't be able to go until either this coming winter, or summer of 2012 either though. 2) When I said Dermot Cole was swell I meant it with a lot of sarcasm. He wrote an editorial once, where he used one of my friend's videos ...

Re: Parts were stolen from the bus and put on Ebay...
I just couldn't resist looking for a hidden story in the Fairbanks connection Steve. Just my overactive imagination. I'm glad you were able to track him down. I've looked at most, if not all of his videos and they certainly don't give the impression of him being a scoundrel at all. In fact the one h...

Re: IS THERE MORE TO THE CHRISTOPHER MCCANDLESS STORY???
So I uploaded a photo to Google Maps of a Denali Park Ranger Cabin right at the location of the ranger cabin on the topo map on the Sushana River. Its not "the" cabin at that location but its a close facsimile as it is a Denali Park Cabin. I'll post a pic of some sort at the location of th...

Re: Another rescue on the Stampede...but! it wasn't necessar
Another article about the recent rescue. A little more detail. http://www.newsminer.com/view/full_story/11291021/article-Singapore-man-was-seeking-adventure-near-bus-on-Stampede-Trail? Says the guy was lost and heading in the wrong direction, but only needed a hamburger to fix him up. The "He w...

Re: "Death by GPS" in Death Valley
Excellent post Pezar. In BC we had at least 3 lost hikers that never were found last summer. It almost always comes down to poor preparation. No compass and map. One guy tried to hike a little used route from Squamish to Coquitlam and never came out the other end. He was very experienced but didn't ...
