>>1376861>how do i go about doing what mccandless did without dyingHave a logical plan in place for what you are going to eat and how you are going to get it while there or bring it with you. This is not easy, but really should not be overlooked. Bring emergency highly calorie dense food with you just in case your plan does not work out and figure out how long that will last you with rationing.
Tell people where you are going and what you are doing. There is no reason not to do this, it's how humans work and how humans conquered the globe, we didn't do that by going solo everywhere and keeping our location a secret. Figure out some way (even if you have to bring an ELT, look it up) to communicate with people in an emergency. If you are way the ass fuck out there and break your leg that could kill you if nobody knows where you are. People who live in these areas are bros and if you go around the nearest town and make friends for even a short bit and just fucking tell people what you are doing someone will probably come to check on you periodically just because.
It's tough but it is not exactly rocket science and a surprising number of people can live pretty far out there in a relatively safe way by simply realizing they need food and shelter before hand.
If you need to be super retarded the fuck out there look into getting a sat phone. They are not exactly cheap but $2k will start to seem like a bargain when you are bleeding out of your ass or break a bone 100 miles from any other human
I honestly think mccandless had a 75IQ which does not make him a bad person but god damn
