I've not seen the book, but have read the book twice and have seen a live presentation by Krakauer. For all of McCandless's faults, he survived a very long time in the bush with very minimal food and gear. This is especially relevant since he was not a life long student of the outdoors, he figured out most of it on the fly. Few of his critics would be able to last as long with such little stuff. I don't fault McCandless for wanting to attempt the experience, sometimes you make it and sometimes you don't. Many who try such endeavors and survive rarely admit that good luck plays into their survival.
