Any kinos about wandering into the woods and dying like a man?

>set off to survive in the wild only by his own means
>find a bus shelter some miles into the trail and stay there indefinitely

Depends what the meat is from. You can get some pretty nasty stuff from bear meat if it's not cooked well.

He wasn't a survivalist, he was just an abused kid running away from his molester father.

>Like a retard*

Let's pretend his passion was Nascar driving...

Christopher McCandless sets off, from California in an old car he rebuilt himself (he replaced the fenders and painted it), on a trip to the Daytona 500. He only gets across the state line when he runs out of fuel because he forgot to fill it up. Instead of simply walking to the nearest gas station or flagging down help he decides to push his car over an embankment and set it on fire. He then proceeds to walk on foot to the nearest car lot (which happens to be in Mexico for some reason, mostly because he burned up his map in the car and he's been taking backroads.) He finds an old bicycle in a garbage dump and uses that.

He finally gets to the car lot and buys a fixer-upper for $50. Before leaving the car lot he has to change a tire, which he replaces with the solid rubber donut. He buys fuel and heads off to the Daytona 500 again. Only he's heading deeper into Mexico and eventually ends up broken down in front of, "Autodromo Internacional de la Jolla" due to no water in the radiator. The engine block has seized up. Luckily, there's a race about to start. Christopher...er "Alexander Superspeeder", who changed his name, pays the $125 entry fee for the race.

Unfortunately, Alexander Superspeeder doesn't have a race car. He does however have an old bicycle still. He uses the bicycle to race. He makes it only 3 laps before he is too tired to steer straight and veers off into a race car and is killed.

Some Jew picks up his story and writes a book about his life and how he followed his dreams. Another Jew makes a movie about it. Armchair racers around the world adore him.

The End.

Do the movie version portray him like that?

is this the movie where the rich kid decides to stop living wealthy and dies a week into living in the woods?

In the irl story, he successfully lived for a couple of years on the fringe before going to Alaska, and managed to survive half a year on his own there (if barely and making tons of mistakes)

is there a book on it?

everyone who talks like this about survivalists - especially people who have never said a word to them and didn't ask to be advertised - everyone who talks like this about them, is retaliating against a truth they feel personally attacked by.
it's the same story with e-celebs like varg and survive the jive, who don't even agree with each other yet attract the exact same anti-fans.

you neets will get in a car and drive yourself to a person's house you feel is doing better than you just to shout at them for making you feel guilty, yet you won't change a thing about yourselves.
god forbid anyone find the truth.

>eats poison berrys
>dies in agony
Did he regret it all in the end?

Yeah, same title. It's supposedly still heavily fictionalized though

Yea pretty much. The movie is pretty fair in treating him like the over emotional brainlet he was too

Les Stroud is a survivalist, this guy was a retard who threw away the possibility of a civilized life so he could eat poison berries without knowing how to even begin testing them for safe consumption.

Stop wondering
Start wandering

dude a botanist or mycologist would say the same thing after watching the movie. look at that guy in Youtube alfie something who I think is a student of either of these fields who also loves the outdoors. being an actual survivalist by knowing your shit is one thing, dying like a retard is another.

im gonna get it i think sounds fun

evolution is built off millions of these guys dying together until one gets lucky enough to mate.
his problem - and the problem with anarco-primitivists - is that they don't start from the paleolithic or the bronze age or anything like that - they start from SCRATCH.
even cavemen had stores of inherited wisdom, and families. these guys go out there in very small numbers and superficial knowledge of bushcraft - not wisdom.
but still - the deaths of people like these, like the deaths of the wildmen before us - nurture the soil for their descendants, ideologically speaking.

I guess it's all in the balance. You shouldn't be, in general, a person who "knows better" and simply define his personal values based on contradicting how others decide to live their lives, what they choose as their goals, and what they decide to sacrifice in exchange.

This is true of both the ITW kid and the people who criticize him as well.

Cool soundtrack tho

all the same - the core message isn't fractured by his dying in a bus.

>he says from his armchair
is this your way of "doing your part"?

yes

You retards are overanalyzing this.
The jerkoff had no idea how to live on his own in the wilderness, decided to try anyway (in one of the harshest places on Earth) and died. He died as anyone could have predicted he would die and i'm sure he was told by others in his life he would die.
Stop playing like he's just this wonderful free spirit and he's just doin' his own thang.
The guy was a retard

Alexander Supertramp was not a particularly bright individual. Mind you, in the book, it states that the van he slept in for 6 months was only 2 miles away from a town. The reason he died was due to poor planning and foresight (and low visibility due to him getting caught in a storm.) The biggest problem I see with his story is that he is portrayed as some hippie "survivalist" guru, but he was reckless in his behavior and impulsive. Genuine survivalists are going to provide themselves with as much information as possible before setting out. He didn't need to die, but his stupidity led to his death and whatcha gonna do?
Did you take your meds today, champ?

While there's plenty hate online by people who get obviously triggered by his idea of "living on your own terms" and dying out of, whatever you want to call it, lack of preparation or simple arrogance, most of the criticism the guy got originally came FROM survivalists. They felt insulted a random rich kid with a couple of years of experience living as a hobo could think he was prepared to survive in one of the harshest territories in the world.

>goes out into the most unforgiving land possible
>manages to kill a moose
>has no fucking clue how to preserve the meet nor is he equipped to do so
what a fucking moron, he could have lived if knew the most basic things.
