Christopher McCandless

My thoughts on the matter of 'fault pot. seeds', is intuition, instinct. Some of us have strong beliefs on things, and proof is only a fingertip away. I believe that Chris was a person of strong instincts, and that's what leads me to feel he 'knew' one of the culprits instrumental in his demise. Of ...

If I may,...I feel that if Chris encountered 'people', he would have mentioned it in his journal. Every other meeting or sighting, (ie: bear, moose, even berries and dreams) were at least mentioned in his writings or documented with a photograph.
