>>2729604 McCandless's greatest flaws included the fact that he believed he was the only one who's ever had the idea in the modern world, ever felt this way, was going to go further than someone else etc. He went to slab city and probably got made fun of for being a green idiot thinking he was a SUPERTRAMP and ran all the way to Alaska where he was going to prove just how /out/ he was away from everyone else
we live in a society
Truth be told I never felt more connected to people than I did to the people I met on the road. I didn't go out with the idea I was going to live like some outdoorsman hermit, I just wanted to adventure because I was bored.
