"By design McCandless came into the country with insufficient provisions, and he lacked certain pieces of equipment deemed necessary by many Alaskans: a large-caliber rifle, map and compass, and an ax. This has been regarded as evidence not just of stupidity but of the even greater sin of arrogance"(Krakauer 180).
Travel advice, and inspiration or fool
I mean come on Chris, This is some travel advice you should really have listened to. If he would have had a road map and not just a topographical he would have been chilling, because he died like 20 miles away from the highway. Also a his arrogance cost him his life, thinking that he could make it in alaska of all places. His death was extremely unfortunate, especially considering that he was such a bright young man and had such a big influence on people. Im just glad that he did this, so that all the people who aren't as smart or great as him who read a book and go cross country think before they leap. Inspirational dreams, foolish execution.
