Somehow I doubt that will stop the pilgrimage. But the "officials" can feel good about doing something.
I’m torn here. I’m sad that the authorities would make a step to save lives of people dumb enough to go die out there. But I’m happy for the locals who don’t want those morons dying in their neck of the woods.
FWIWDusty from pirate had made a thread about the bus. Going to it, putting canned food in it, signing the guest book. It was a cool thread but he deleted it because glorifying the destination was bringing unwanted attention from idiots. Who ironically knew exactly how Chris got into the situation that ultimately cost him his life, and with all the warning in the world would still go up there getting in the same jam Chris did.
I'm 50/50 on it too. Neat story. Just to say fuggit and walk off. But yea, he was an idiot out of his element.
I was always under the impression that Chris went there knowing he was going to die. Almost as a suicide. Buddy is telling me that is not the case and he tried returning home but couldn't cross the river.
That's 2 things in a month that are not there anymore I was planning to do in retirement

I'd say he did pretty good, surviving over 100 days with not many supplies. I don't think most people now days could survive 10 days. I guess we'll really never know, but I think I agree with the "poison seeds" or disease, something that he wasn't aware of that got him.
Chris was a city boy from El Segundo. He was an idiot that bit off more then he could chew. He was in way over his head.

Wasn't the consensuses that he starved to death? I mean the autopsy said he weighed 67lbs at the time of his death. Krakauer went to some lengths to prove his theory that the seeds poisioned him, and I'm sure they didn't help, but at 67lbs for a normal 150lb man you're talking about organ failure.
Glad it's out. Less trash in the woods the better.

i read the book and all i kept hearing in the back of my head was 'im a big cry baby because my parents didnt give me enough attention, even though they gave me all kinds of opportunity in life'
