Re: Travelling alone tips?
Sicily4u's advice is great, IF you are travelling as a tourist, NOT as a Chris McCandless. It will be complete Nirvana when a female can embark on a journey such as Chris'. Even in the US, we are not quite 'there' yet. Maybe we are even going backwards, because Chris did a lot of hitch hiking, and I...

Re: I AM INJURED, NEAR DEATH, AND TOO WEAK TO HIKE OUT OF HE
Well said BandMissionary. Every time I see mr.hron post, I feel the same way. WHY would anyone bother with stuff they despise? It's such a waste of time. Maybe he'll get a life sometime! And, as far as your comment about Chris' injury. I think Mr. Lamothe is referring to the pic of Chris at the bus,...

Re: Kids
The great irony here, and in many lives is just that: the perception of horrible parents. Not to belittle the actual feelings that come with real horrible parents...but, we all make mistakes. Somehow, as a parent now, I feel there's always a perceived slight. At least I can apologize to my kids when...

Re: Survive it instead
Ok, I get where you're coming from. But I have the opinion that Chris made an honest human mistake. Yes, he took his life to the edge, and then errored. However, I believe he wanted to come 'home'. There is plenty of evidence proving that fact. I think the thrill of living on the edge becomes an add...

Re: Notes from the book explained
The song refers to 'pool', as in 'swimming pool'. The lyrics read the drifter is looking to rent a room for '50 cent'. The amenities are: 'no phone, no pool, no pets'. In other words, there's no phone or swimming pool available and no pets allowed. I'm not sure about your 'bird' question. Maybe a se...

Hamilton Submitted Paper
Woah!! I love this article! Thank you, Ron Hamilton, for this, AND two very important (to me...) points made. One: your instinct initially kicking in, back when you leafed through the pages of the 'new' Into The Wild novel, and 2: you, actually, 'listening' to Chris' words in his journal. It was the...

Re: BACK To The Wild...?
BUT, I'm referring to the documentary: Back To The Wild...Not the movie INTO The Wild. I looked on the site you have suggested, and do not find the documentary. Thank you, and post again, IF you see it.

Re: Am I crazy for this?
Great advice Steve. I suppose I have forgotten about camping 101 since it's been a while that I've been in a tent! And waterproofing that tent is a MUST! Great point about the dog food and water. Especially a big dog, like the Australian Shepherd will need alot of provisions. I kinda disagree about ...

Re: Am I crazy for this?
No, you are NOT 'crazy'! You are also not a parent, so, you really won't grasp how they feel until you are...AND, it will not matter how old you are, they will always worry. Being a parent, and having felt the way you do, I can 'see' both sides. It is the hardest thing a parent will do, to let go. B...
