He saw the bus and sat down. Waiting for the driver to show up and take him to a bus stop that had food. I blame the bus.

I think he's either weak against water, doesn't know how water works, or was just outside deficient. Mother nature foreshadowed like a motherfucker to beware of water and weather events.

Jesse Ventura posted:lot of smug softies in this thread who woulda known better "Programmed to enjoy" things like physical security and plentiful food, like all living organisms. It's cool if you want to go off the grid, I guess. Just do your loving research first, and maybe dip your toes into the roughing it lifestyle, so you know what you're getting into. I know a chick whose husband wanted to take seven or eight months off to hike the Appalachian Trail, which is an admirable goal, but the idiot has never gone hiking for more than a few days at a time. Like, drat, dude, try spending a couple of weeks hiking before you quit your job and abandon your wife to gently caress around in the middle of nowhere. It's not like you have to go straight from your parents' house in the suburbs to a rotted-out bus in Alaska.

rezatahs posted:yeah exactly I walked through Chiricahua National Monument, to the "Heart of the rocks", got a little turned around on my way out and I had a compass and a map to get my silly rear end back out. Of course I also had three days worth of food in my pack for a 1 day trip. I highly recommend going there. Inspiration point is loving mind blowing.

He should have learned from history -- specifically, the baby boomers, many of whom had a phase just like him when they said they would throw off the shackles of society and live a free life but then after Vietnam they all found middle class jobs and became anti-pot

What a wuss. There's also this guy who went 'gently caress society' He made it 27 years but he was just stealing from cabins in the woods to get stuff, committing over 1000 break ins to get supplies before locals had enough and he got caught. vOv quote:Into the woods: how one man survived alone in the wilderness for 27 years https://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/mar/15/stranger-in-the-woods-christopher-knight-hermit-maine Synthbuttrange fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Mar 30, 2017 |

Any fool can break into a tiny flying insect home and raid their stockpiled food. That guy went after a different species and I gotta give him credit for it. You gently caress with a beehive, the worst that can happen is a bunch of bees sting the gently caress out of you. But you take a crowbar to somebody's hunting cabin ultimately you're gonna be facing helicopters, tracking dogs, infrared scopes, sniper rifles, all kinds of god drat things, things you can't beat just by putting on three sets of clothes and a basket over your head. Dude's run was longer than Steve Irwin's.

exquisite tea posted:Vice has a good documentary about some dude and his wife who have lived in a cabin in the Alaskan wilderness for the past 30 years. It's especially memorable because the Vice dudes start out in their skinny jeans and perfectly manicured undercuts prepared to be all like "look at this weirdo lmao" but by the end are visibly moved by his perspective and reasons for living on his own. I went and watched this and it was fantastic. It also really provides perspective on how out of his depth McCandles was--dude had no real chance to live out there, best he could hope for was an extended visit followed by a return to civilization...and if that's the case then just use the goddamn resources you were blessed with from birth and make a life out of being a yuppie dirtbag. Donate the rest of your inheritance/trust fund to charity if you want. I get it., Just reading this thread is giving me the itch to load up my dogs and go backpacking where I don't have to see or hear another person for a week+ But part of the enjoyment is also coming back to civilization when it's over and eating a greasy loving cheeseburger, taking a hot shower, and sleeping in a goddamn bed until it's time to go out there again. Makes you appreciate poo poo.
