>Got my rifle, my sleeping bag and 5 kilos of rice, I got this. Let's do it
He in fact did not have this

People here talk all this shit like they'd survive better than him
>u-uuhhh well i'd be prepared and not so dumb
This is cope talk for "you wouldn't do it" which is not in fact because you are more intelligent but because you are a bitch who never leaves your house.

Any questions?

>>214443391
Yeah. Unless someone has genuine hunting and field dressing skills honed over years of experience they aint surviving shit

>>214443391
>you wouldn't go out and starve to death innawoods because you prefer staying indoors and alive

Eddy Vedder's soundtrack for this movie is a biblical experience.

>>214443449
Admitting you wouldn't do it is one thing and smart, I'm talking about all these nerds going on about muh poison berries and that whole racecar copypasta like they're survival experts and not just retards in dim rooms

>>214443368 (OP)
Honestly this guy probably saved hundreds of people's lives. We have all thought about leaving all this shit behind and going to live in the wilderness at one point or another. This movie and story is the reason no one follows through on those thoughts

>>214443585
No one else is dumb enough to do that shit in Alaska though. If you really have to live inawoods just go deep into the national parks like a normal person. You still get internet.

>>214443368 (OP)
He seems like a sensative young man who became a mark for himself after reading too much or something. He was a good kid from the suburbs and soft and he tried to LARP as a tough mountain man to prove something to himself and others.

I think its wrong and misguided to idolize him.

>>214443391
Yeah, did you forget your meds or are you this much of an obvious troon while on them?
Hey here's a plan: I take a rifle, a sleeping bag, 10 kilos of rice, and get this, 48 cans of tuna so I don't start immediately dying of anemia.
Wow look I already did better than him.

>>214443800
the dollar symbol goes before the amount of money, not after it you dumb zoomer

>>214443535
Anyone less hysterical than you is already a survival expert compared to our ancestors because the knowledge of how to survive is literally everywhere all the time and more advanced now, you're just one of those hysterical "get real kid if you were getting robbed you'd collapse and have a heart attack we all would it's like not the movies you literally can never ever ever do anything if you feel an emotion" demoralization kikes

>>214443818
Please draw a diagram of you carrying the 10 kilograms of rice and 48 cans of tuna on your person I'm curious

>>214443368 (OP)
I'm thinking about doing something similar desu

Idk tho I'd probably die and the headline would be retard treks into the wilderness with 3 cans of beans and gets pneumonia two weeks later

He had the right idea but was too retarded to pull it off

>>214443832
My statement harmed you so you made up this entire cope response. Very sad

>>214443846
Why not just be smart and buy some land in a rural area and make a homstead there?

>>214443841
Just have a big backpack? 10kg of rice is heavy, but doesn't take much space.
48 small cans is not that much either

>>214443891
Show me your setup bud, I'm here to learn

>>214443391
All he needed were a few survival tools and books

>>214443903
This one has 100L in room, 10kg rice around 13-14L.
48 cans of tuna takes quite little space as well.

>>214443841
You've never heard of a backpack?

>>214443948
No rice or other tools displayed in the diagram
>>214443933
Googled, your nerd body would not be able to carry that even empty for a 10 minute hike

Once again, nerds talking shit

>>214443960
>gave you an example
>uhm... you're too weak to carry 10kg of rice and 5kg of tuna!!!

>>214443391
I wouldn't do it and I wouldn't pretend I would either. That's because I have a shred of self awareness, unlike that colossal retard.

>>214443968
I'd put $1000 on that bet and win

>>214443988
I buy stuff that weights more than that for my grocery trips on foot.

It was a mix of pure retardation and youthful exuberance aka justifiable retardation

>>214444001
No you don't. You're a poor nerd on the internet and that's why your story contains a freudian slip about how you don't even own a car and have to carry your "groceries" on foot like a peasant

>>214443988
That's less than half of what a normal guy his age would be able to carry with no problem.

>>214443368 (OP)
I get the idea but the hell would you do it in a place where getting help is literally impossible? At least bring a satellite phone or one of those emergency sos gadgets they sell

>>214444019
Except you're not normal. You are a nerd on 4chan's television and film board who is actually arguing with me about how strong you are. Shut up nerd

>>214444032
Everyone is not as weak as you are.

just like the guy who got eaten by grizzlies it was a mixture of severe mental illness and delusions of grandeur.
but the lesson here is that if you do something really really exceptionally stupid someone will make a movie about it.

>>214443391
No, I would survive longer than him and with much less discomfort and it wouldn't even be hard. I'd just bring some basic cooking equipment, communications, high quality sleeping mats and blankets and some things to read and listen to.
He didn't even have to 'survive' outside of shooting rabbits if he just brought some basic camping gear with him. but he was a MORON

>>214444044
You are a weak nerd on 4chan who has been made insecure by my comments. Why do you care? Because you know you are a loser. Cold reading works

15kg is not a lot unless you are a child. I remember struggling with a 15kg backpack in my when I was a fat, short kid but I ultimately managed it. Now it is easy. You really are just weird or underage

>>214444058
I'm just saying I carried more shit like that every day for years for work and you are projecting

>>214444069
Ah I see. You regularly buy $1000 because that's just how much your government bleeds you for a handful of groceries. Very insightful

>>214444045
not any more. Now he would have been a tik tok star and been forgotten about within 3 months.

>>214443368 (OP)
No shit he was in fuckin' Alaska. Wasn't he from Cali too?

>>214444204
>Wasn't he from Cali too?
Yeah, that explains why he was such a retard

>>214443482
nah, it's just gay

He was middle class. He could have feasibly saved up a few k at least for his 'final trip'. Why didn't he go and live on a remote pacific atoll with beautiful reefs? or find a warm, beautiful forest somewhere around Cali or Hawaii? Why the fuck did he go to ALASKA

I used to live near a forest while growing up. Surviving in North America is easy, even in winter. Poor guy didn't have any real life experience at it. Many such cases. It's funny to read survival books written by city slickers. Such retarded tips. So many obvious and easier ways not even talked about. So many tips that don't work irl unless you delve deeper into how to do it in a practical way. Like eating the inner bark of trees. You need to dry and grind that shit into flour, you can't eat eat raw or boiled, it's too tough and unchewable/undigestable. But every survival guide keeps giving that tip like it's some secret life saving trick. Re. Tards.

Id make it further than a mile from a major road on a well used hunt trail a few hundred yards from a river crossing and they’d never find my body, at the very least

>>214443368 (OP)
didnt this guy managed to hunt down a deer too? he already had the bus and everything. why didnt he smoke the meat so it lasts longer?

Reminder: mccandless believed that inside every person were dormant solo-survival superpowers because he couldn’t comprehend how else people could survive without society, technology, etc.

>>214446598
I say this as an European, no serious person in their whole life has the need to travel 1500km, or even 150km, everything you need is withing a walking distance of your closest walkable city, you have your assigned work space, your pod, the tax and gay office and you have the euthanasia center.

Everything you will ever need.

>>214443368 (OP)
I don't look this deeply into stuff that's been memed endlessly. But why was there just a straight up bus in the middle of the forest? As far as I know, he hitchhiked to where he wanted to get to. It seems like if there was a bus just hanging out there, then he must have at least been near enough to civilization to go get help. Like I said, I haven't looked into a lot of this, so all I know is bits and pieces from people who tell me about it or what I see on this board or on the literature board. So don't go ape on me for not having some wild in-depth knowledge about this guy.

It was used by workers from a Fairbanks mine and they left it there in 1975 when the mine closed because one of the axles was broken
He was 20 miles away from a town

The bus was removed by a cargo helicopter after this woman died in 2019 trying to retrace McCandless's journey

From what I understand, he got poisoning from eating the wrong kind of seeds. I'm not sure how severe it was, but obviously he died. I think he could have probably walked 20 miles.

>>214447279
>He was 20 miles away from a town
I walked 20 miles in a day several times, it is exhausting but totally doable. In that habitat maybe 2 days but I'm sure he could have camped for a night if he waited for decent weather. sounds like he was a real moron

>>214447501
>>214447324
The poison berries fucked him up some but the main problem was that he was outright starving to death before he realized anything was wrong

Motherfucker was 142 pounds when he arrived in Alaska and 67 pounds when he died

>>214447517
Ah, I see. I thought it was that he mixed up potato seeds with something else. Then again, like I said, what I have is just piece me out from what I've heard.

>>214443368 (OP)
he was a retarded suicidal faggot who pissed in the mouths of every ancestor begging to have basic necessities like a fucking map. If he did the barest research he could've known there was a bridge and not have died like a mongoloid. I feel absolutely no sympathy for his stupid ass. Everyone wants the simple life, but they fail to recognize, ironically it's more difficult. Many live innabush all he had to do was not be a pompous piece of shit.

so what, he just didn't notice he was starving, anaemic and incapable of moving? I would understand it more if he was high as fuck and bought a large supply of drugs with him, but it sounds like he just voluntarily turned up to this bus, stopped doing anything and just malfunctioned until he died. genuinely retarded

The only reason the “poison” was a factor was because the was already mostly dead from starvation.

>>214448331
yeah I know, I had a poverty college stoner phase, but I was still completely aware that I was losing weight / muscle and needed to sort my life out. If I was in a bus in the middle of alaska 100% I would feel a sense of urgency and panic early on and gtfo of there. I genuinely believe Chris was suicidal. some people don't have a will to live but not sufficient to be able to shoot themselves or jump off a bridge.

>5 kilos of rice
Wouldn't this lead to malnutrition pretty quickly? Why not bring something with actual nutrients like peanuts?

>>214448845
It was a .22 and he physically hunted, rather than trapped rabbits. He didn’t know how to make a trap. Even trapping would’ve been a caloric deficit.

>>214443585
He actually killed people because dumbass kept trying to find the bus.

>>214448901
Rice lasts ages if you keep it dry, it expands after cooking so it fills you up nicely (but it's also edible in raw form), can be combined with almost anything from meet to berries and a decent energy source in itself. Not to mention it has other properties that can be useful out there. Like it's water absorbent nature can help prevent moisture-related issues or the hard, small rice grains can serve as an abrasive for cleaning or even a noise maker due to the sound it makes when shaken. You could even use the rice bag as a pillow! So the primacy of rice as a survival food is not about the nutrients but pretty much everything else.

>>214450038

In the movie he gets poisoned by eating the wrong plants. IRL he died from starvation. He was eating a plant that had no nutritional value and his stomach contents were full of it during the autopsy.

>>214444017
>have to carry your "groceries" on foot like a peasant
extremely american

Why didn't he just take a cow with him? A live one obviously, because he couldn't carry it. They walk on their own, that's the beauty of it. He could milk it and make cheese and butter, or just drink the milk. He could cut a steak out of it, if you're careful you can stitch it back up and it heals in a few days.

Incredibly badly, and painfully on the part of the moose
wouldn't be surprised if he spent a good 15 minutes plinking at it whilst it writhed in agony and he made it inedible due to pumping so much into it.

>>214444045
Treadwell treaded well for 13 years though. It's not the same as the guy who died on his first camping trip.

He was a complete fucking retard. He literally wandered out into the wilderness one day with no supplies and no training. He got sick eating poisonous mushrooms and started shitting his guts out and became dehydrated. Then he got lost and couldn't find his way back because he was too stupid to bring a map and ended up dying a few miles from a busy highway.

High impulsivity would make people do stupid things. He got money but donated it all away. Some new age guru probably advised him to focus 100% on feeling instead of thinking. Inspired by the novel Call of the Wild and Robert Frost's poem Road Not Taken, and Nietzsche's writings, he created a warped idea of reality in his head and thought he was invincible. His OCD further doomed him into going into his suicidal adventure.

Your still exercising in an upright position

Let's pretend his passion was Nascar driving...

Christopher McCandless sets off, from California in an old car he rebuilt himself (he replaced the fenders and painted it), on a trip to the Daytona 500. He only gets across the state line when he runs out of fuel because he forgot to fill it up. Instead of simply walking to the nearest gas station or flagging down help he decides to push his car over an embankment and set it on fire. He then proceeds to walk on foot to the nearest car lot (which happens to be in Mexico for some reason, mostly because he burned up his map in the car and he's been taking backroads.) He finds an old bicycle in a garbage dump and uses that.

He finally gets to the car lot and buys a fixer-upper for $50. Before leaving the car lot he has to change a tire, which he replaces with the solid rubber donut. He buys fuel and heads off to the Daytona 500 again. Only he's heading deeper into Mexico and eventually ends up broken down in front of, "Autodromo Internacional de la Jolla" due to no water in the radiator. The engine block has seized up. Luckily, there's a race about to start. Christopher...er "Alexander Superspeeder", who changed his name, pays the $125 entry fee for the race.

Unfortunately, Alexander Superspeeder doesn't have a race car. He does however have an old bicycle still. He uses the bicycle to race. He makes it only 3 laps before he is too tired to steer straight and veers off into a race car and is killed.

Some Jew picks up his story and writes a book about his life and how he followed his dreams. Another Jew makes a movie about it. Armchair racers around the world adore him.

The End.

America grew on trains and still has fuckton of trains, but it's people don't like to be cattle and stopped focusing on personal travel once automobiles and aircraft came about. Also inter-metro rail travel is slow as shit and not that great, why it's used for bulk freight, but I do think more big American metro regions need to up their commuter rail game.
