Cringe when he turned down the girl for being 17. He claims to reject society, but still adheres to the bullshit restrictions that Jews placed on our sexuality.

dying of starvation a few miles from a highway in the richest country in the world is never based.

A bit of both

He fucked her though didn't he

>commie
Cringe to the highest extent.

Based for doing what he did, cringe for dying to some berries

No he just friend-zoned her in the movie

This is a false statement. The bus was there because it had been towed in and then left there by construction workers. He was nowhere near a highway.

I think that was later debunked. He simply starved to death.

this. what the fuck was his problem? was he gay for moose?

i don't know anything about it but when i was in california for a summer my friends buzzed over it and made me listen to the soundtrack while driving through CA, Nevada to Vegas.
this song's pretty good.

he was a fucking soiboi boomer faggot. who goes into the woods to "Escape society" and then takes a bunch of pictures? he literally was ononly doing it so that when he went back into society he could show people how cool and badass he was for living inawoods. got what he deserved

Emile Hirsch was relentlessly handsome.

Somewhat based but he also was a fucking idiot who constantly relied on other people saving his ass.

>He was nowhere near a highway
Yes he was you dingus.

Fuck off relentlessly handsome poster. I saw the mistake you made in the movie remake thread yesterday.

you and your friends sound gay as fuck.

He sure wasn't. The bus is well over 20 miles from the nearest highway that provides access to the trail. That's a lot more than "a few" as you said. He was also blocked by a river.

he died from soi withdrawals.

why are you so insecure?

>m-muh wilderness
>dies the moment he actually steps out of the first world country into the mild forest
He was a cringe commie hippy.

its been a while since I read the book. But IIRC he was trapped by a river he could not cross due to rapids. There was actually a tower and lines device owned by the park service which could have been used to get across but he was unaware of it since he did not have adequate maps of the area. Once across the river there was a highway a few miles away where he could have flagged down a passing car.

Mostly just autistic

Movie is based but dude is kinda cringe. Apparently he had mental health problems. Going full /out/ is cool but not when you’re severely underprepared

>20 miles
lol thats like an afternoon of walking.
>blocked by a river.
lol thats like 30 seconds of swimming

I'm not the user you first replied to. Either way, he was unprepared and what happened was completely avoidable.
Imo he deserved a Darwin award.

because i have self-awareness. you should try it some time

As a construction worker I can tell you that we would dump it into the first ditch literally just out of sight.

The workers used it as shelter while they were doing maintenance in that section of the trail.

He was a complete fucking idiot and the movie is boring garbage

no you wouldn't, you drive it 20 miles into the wilderness and across a raging river. just admit it.
>what are tents

>what are tents
I don't know what to tell you, man. That's literally why the bus is there. The workers towed it in and used it for shelter.

Cringe, only people who say based are exaggerating and are ironic and they know it.

>The bus was there because it had been towed

yes a number of obsolete buses were towed into the wilderness to provide shelter for workers building a road for a commercial mining operation. The venture was eventually abandoned and the other buses removed but that particular bus had a broken axle and could not be towed so they just left it in the woods.

He was an extremely low IQ individual, that or he had some kind of autism where he did not understand that humans are extremely lucky to be where we are right now and that's because of only one thing: preparation. If he knew things won't fall out of thin air in convienience for him when he went into the woods he would have known it's pure suicide. Lol he got so spoiled by our society he thought it would be just as easy or possible to live in wilderness, fucking retard lmao

he had rich parents.

Based on accounts of his behavior, I've always thought he was probably on the spectrum. He definitely wasn't low IQ. He did very well in high school and college.

>Sean Penn

A shame mexican cartels didn't kill him

They lived in a wealthy suburb in Virginia but I wouldn't say rich. Upper middle class certainly but it's not like they owned a huge estate or something.

>i dont need a map
>dies

he wildin'

What did he mean by this?

It's easier to just tow one bus than it is to equip each worker with gear and make sure they know how to use it. Plus it's good to have your workers have a minimum of comfort.

Someone post the image showing that it’s a day’s walk to the nearest McDonald’s from his cuckbus

self-awareness on an anonymous imageboard? you fucking cretin

its a great cover

didn't even realise it was a cover

The issue wasn't the distance he had to hike. He crossed a river in April before the spring thaw. Once he tried to backtrack out in August, the water level was much higher and it was too dangerous for him to try to swim. Like someone else said, his downfall was of course not bringing a map of the area because there was a hand operated tram located up the trail that he could've used to get across.

Not quite a days walk, but also not too far. He’s an idiot.

Sounds very similar, think I prefer it

Easier said than done. I seriously doubt you could simply walk in that straight line. Plus who knows if that stuff was even there back in 1992.

I don't know whether the film is praising or scolding him and I don't care, I just like how gorgeous the movie is and how it's great to romanticize about leaving everything behind but how fucking retarded you have to be to actually do so.

I loved the movie, but the character is despicable and insanely dumb. I think the same about Captain Fantastic, but at least the family is trained to live outside.

Cringe because he died like bitch.

that's Corin Tucker of Sleater-Kinney on backup vocals in Ed's version

Wrong, read the book. He died a virgin because he wanted to denounce the "pleasures of the flesh". He turned down other women too. Absolute CHAD.

>He died a virgin because he wanted to denounce the "pleasures of the flesh"
Was he catholic or just autistic?

retard, there's literally a road completely flanking him to the east. all you have to do is know where east is and you'll find it eventually, you'd have to be going straight north or south to miss it.

doesn't starving take a really long time? why not just go back?

Cringe. He died from easily prevented ignorance.

Cringe, perfect example of what gay boomer philosophy does to people who take it seriously. He sought authenticity by escaping civilization and living a simple life while trying to learn from nature. All it did was ruin the life of a promising student. He would have done better as a doctor with a family of 6. At least then he would have made a positive contribution to civilization and we wouldn't have to read Krakauer's gay book in middle school.

The movie is cringe and unwatchable if you have the faintest idea of how being outdoors works. I think within the first 10 minutes of the movie he goes crossing some random river in northern USA winter, without any proper gear to get himself warm and dry afterwards.

Both

used to think based but got older and it became cringe

did you see the revenant?
