Christopher McCandless

you came tot he right place brother!! enjoy your time exploring topics on Chris, his life, traveling, etc. !! Peace and One LOve

also hit up into the wild and "back to the wild" you'll enjoy them

so i've heard from some friends who have hitch-hiked thousands of miles in the United States; they have said they have had ZERO encounters of dangerous people. no people who wanted to kill them, rape them, hurt them; nothing!! for some reason i find that hard to believe.. (maybe i'm brainwashed by t...

this is something not many have addressed on here. the reason Chris left in the manner he did was for 2 reasons: A. to pursue a life of adventure and not apathy/routine B. to get away from his sleepwalker, money-driven/materialistic parents. the second reason is a difficult, sad one.. but is often t...

.. and in "back to the wild", confirmed by "goNorth" on these boards recently, that Chris DID in fact meet Leonard and Salvation Mountain; that is huge in my opinion. the difference between life and death, purpose and aimlessness. anyways, it definitely makes it all the more prob...

that makes a lot of sense though. i don't like to assume, but now that Chris did meet leonard, it is possible he could have developed some sort of spiritual relationship with Jesus.. ( that would explain the journal notes with "Lord" and all that.. but who knows for sure though ) hmm inter...

oh okay, i haven't read the book yet, thanks!!! actually, i was at Salvation Mountain (in Niland, California) last week, and yeah leonard isn't there. he was in the hospital back in September (circa maybe), but now he is still living in Niland, but in an actual house this time. he still stops by occ...

dude!! this movie is like a magnet!!! SNATCHING UP the lost and bringing them to true LIFE!!! YEAH MAN!!! Destiny living lets get it!!! this movie changed my life a lot. my life doesn't revolve around Chris, the movie, or his life as it did when i first saw it when i was 18, but this movie to this d...

was it just a sweet story (and it is sawWEEEEET) to spice up the movie, or did it actually happen in Chris' real life?? if so, that would definitely make a lot of sense (Chris writing about God or "Lord" in his journal... Leonard has impacted so many people with his spiritual and sold-out-...

What does it matter? And if he was not, that would not change the meaning of a story. He does end up saying God bless in the end, while that is a common saying I would have to assume he was. The journey he took had nothing to do with religion. In fact, his idea was quite transcendentalist, most tra...

yeah same here brother/sister!! total slavery. i mean even just a super cheap apartment, storage space, or cabin in the middle of nowhere; just somewhere to stash your stuff, and still big enough to have a family if you want that later on. i mean, i love traveling, but sometime down the line i will ...
