Consume Product

This is a poignant warning to know what you're doing before going off the grid or "innawoods" if you feel so inclined to do so. Not saying to not do it, but don't be a fucking retard. This dude ran off having no plan whatsoever and died eating poisonous berries because he knew nothing about botany (he actually didn't starve to death).

 If you are a normal person, you do not know what you're doing. Even if you grew up in a rural environment and went hunting fairly often, you still pretty don't know what you're doing (though feeding yourself might be a bit easier). The military trains every special operator and pilot for a month in SERE (survival, evasion, resistance, and escape) in these exact survival skills specifically because they know that nobody has any idea how to do all of this, downed pilots in ww2 kept dying because they *didn't know what they were doing*, and this was back then, let alone now.

There's lots of resources available nowadays. Use those resources now because you wont have them if you choose to live like this guy, or Ted Kaczynski (much more successful examlle). Plan over years, don't act on impulse.

Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed

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.

This was an interesting story. I think he was well intentioned. He had the balls to leave his well-to-do life behind and attempt to find himself. And actually, when he was ready to leave the bus in Alaska, its because he realizes his happiness would come from raising a family. Sadly, he was also stupid and didnt realize snow melt from the mountains would turn the stream he crossed in the winter into a raging river in the spring. He also didnt realize there were bridges for crossing in the area. A combination of hubris, ignorance, and bad luck brought this individual to his literal knees. Still a good movie.

>Into The Wild

I thought this might be about Warrior Cats for a second, but the Krakauer book actually came out first. (1996 Vs 2003)

Anyway, I have like, zero faith in individual yuppies who try to live like old man Ted.

The problem with hyper individualists amongst urbanites is that a singular urbanite is rather weak, especially out in the wild, where they will have 0 XP.

My head cannon for Logans Run is that this is probably what happens to a decent chunk of the urbanites after leaving their dystopia.

damn, that's a dumb way to die

granted if you have no survival skills its time to learn some, learn the basics, making a fire, hunting a rabbit skinning it, cooking it mending your cloths etc etc...

He got wrapped up in the zeitgeist of his time… but I think he figured it out on his death bed

Dude shut up, I want them all to do this.

I dunno they're seems to be many more reasonable and social ways to not be a mindless consumer. I don't think humans do all that well at all as atomized and isolated. as we can see, even in our cities now.

He was no Uncle Ted.

An arrogant idiot.
