The op got that wrong; he actually went to Emory.

There's one section in the book where Krakauer talks about Lenin's early life iirc, and how he went on similar adventures to Supertramp here. Everybody makes mistakes sometimes in wilderness settings, and you learn from those mistakes what not to do. Most of the time, it's not fatal. Not that he wasn't ill prepared for what he did, but I think that was part of what he was after - he knew he was poorly prepared, and he figured he'd make do anyway by learning as he went.
