I will add this information to the site itself, so others can easily find it and contribute.

Hi Forum, There is a documentary on Christopher McCandless and the story. It was made by a documentary film maker Ron Lamothe. He was also inspired by the story and travelled to the places Chris went, spoke to the people he knew and even bumped into the Sean Penn Film Crew a couple of times whilst f...

Jack London - white fang (1906) Jack London was a writer that touched Chris McCandless. There were many references from his work in the book 'Into the Wild' by Jon Krakauer.

Some slip through the process and are posted, but this will be monitored and deleted ASAP. I wonder if these spammers realise that no-one reads their crap or pays attenti...

Hi Forum, There has been a few requests for information about the Christopher Johnson McCandless Memorial Foundation. I have written to some different organisations to find out if it still exists and where donations can be sent. I have not heard anything back as yet, but will post information on the...
