So there is this guy Christopher Johnson McCandless, AKA “Alexander Supertramp” and he wanted to survive amongst nature and spent like his entire life prepping to be able to do it. He was inspired by a bunch of authors who wrote about survivalism and the frontier. Him and Carl McCunn were both well read and educated.
They both stepped into the Canadian Wilderness, at different times and different places, and both died alone with their journals, no one to call to for help in their time of need. McCandless was a 67 lbs fresh corpse when they found him, he ate some “alpine nut” purple flower legumes with antimetabolites and started to feel too weak to forage. McCunn shot himself, simple as.
Mental Illness apparently expresses itself in very strange ways for some people. Avoid isolationism if you want to live.
Is McCandless the one from the book Into the Wild? Iirc he had a pretty sweet scholarship lined up, but fucked off without telling anyone so he could “live off the land” in Alaska
