I read that novel too.

The young man (Christopher Johnson McCandless) starved to death only because he was poisoned.

McCandless perfected some awesome survival skills in the novel, especially from a series of mistakes when attempting to dry meat to preserve it.

He survived very well, but the book he used to identify edible plants had an error which caused the young man to eat a poisonous plant, which fucked his up so badly he wasn't able to recover.

The young man did accept help from locals and walked into town to work to get supplies on several occasions.

He was very respectful to the people he met, but he did not like materialistic consooooomer culture.

He rebelled against society (which I can relate) but I do think he had a coming to Jesus moment before he passed)

McCandless loved Jesus and sought a spiritual connection with Him through the beauty of nature in much the same way that Saint Francis of Assisi did.

This was McCandless' final message:

# ["I have had a happy life and thank the Lord. Goodbye and may God bless all!"](https://i.imgur.com/Vu23bs1.jpeg)

I'm unsure why you'd randomly assume someone isn't Christian based on nothing.

I wasn’t referring to religion actually, more of a figure of speech.

I think he “realized his error” on his death bed…

Wrong again.

If you actually read his book, you'd know McCandless repeatedly spoke about the beauty of God in nature and how thankful to God that he could enjoy it.

I've wasted enough time on your ignorant nonsense. I'll be ignoring your shit from this point forward.

He's using it as a figure of speech as in he probably realized his error in going innawoods with no knowledge or skill before he passed, nothing to do with religion.
