YES! This article really clicked with me, too, and I DO believe there is a lot of truth here to explain what actually happened. We REALLY need to 'listen' to Chris' words in his journal: 'Fault pot seed", "Much trouble just to stand up", and other entries. He did make an egregious er...

Kitz, like so many others you confuse the movie and perhaps the books for that of the reality, which none of us truly know. Chris had clear bonds and relationships with people, perhaps not sexual but to say that he wanted no relationship is misguided to say the least. Many months of his quest are u...

Chris's consumption of wild mushrooms have in his death? From his terse journal, we know that toward the end of July, he wrote, "many mushrooms. Dream." At least one of his photographs shows several mushrooms next to a plastic zip-lock bag of seeds and a dead squirrel. The mention of "...

This is also what Krakauer wrote in his book: A little later Alex pulled out his crude map and pointed to a dash...

I watched it. For the most part, nothing new was disclosed, although Jan Burress had a couple interesting comments. The first was she thought "Alex" was one of the laziest hitchhikers she had ever seen (sitting down with a half-hearted thumb out while he read and ate berries). The second w...
