Christopher McCandless

Hey everyone!

So, a few years ago, two, to be more precise, was the first time I saw "Into the Wild", the movie, and I was fascinated with the idea of breaking out in this world. The first thing that came in my mind was, why not? Now that I'm almost in legal age to do so, I'm working and raising money to go to Pacific Crest Trail, one of the place Christopher has been and the one that most called my attention.
I made this post to ask if you guys know anyone that already did it or wants to and how it went.

Thanks

Pacific Crest Trail*

A friend of a former coworker or mine did. He left everything behind, caught a bus up to Washington, then got into Canada. Hwe lived there maybe 2-4 weeks though before he came home. It was sad times reading that. He ended up missing friends, family, etc. Which is understandable, if you have those really good ones to miss.

How long will you be staying there?

I've never hiked it. I recently read the book "Wild" by Cheryl Strayed which was about her experiences backpacking the PCT. I enjoyed the book but it wouldn't be everybody's cup of tea. She spends much of the book talking about the loss of her mother and the end of her marriage, and just how lost she feels as a human being.
