>Alaskan National Guard removes ‘Into the Wild’ bus from remote location that lured thrillseekers to their deaths

> After multiple search and rescue missions to save thrillseekers from the Alaskan wilderness over the years, the state National Guard removed a 1940s bus, featured in the 2007 film ‘Into the Wild,’ using a Chinook helicopter.

>In a joint mission between the Department of Natural Resources and the National Guard, soldiers flew to the remote location 25 miles west of the Parks Highway on Stampede Trail on Thursday, retrieving the world-famous vehicle known to some as “Bus 142,” or the “Magic Bus.” The vehicle was reportedly hauled to the trail about 60 years ago by a road crew.

He would have been find had it not turned out that wild potato seeds he collected were poisonous. He started supplementing his diet with them, and they caused him to weaken and die by destroying his neurons and rendering him paralyzed.

Thing is, at the time, they were considered edible. Turns out that in small amounts they are, but in large amounts they are poisonous, and especially so when ingested by young men in calorie deficits who are physically active. And yes, those specific things are actually risk factors.

Has anyone here actually bothered to read the Anchor Edition with a new Afterword by Krakauer from 2015?

The mystery of McCandless' death has now been resolved for 5 years. He ate the seeds of Hedysarum alpinum, which lead to paralysis of his legs and general poisoning. In the ethnobotanic publications he obtained at the University of Alaska prior to his death, this plant was mistakenly declared to not be poisonous. So basically him picking up a faulty source was the key problem leading to his death.

The only really ignorant thing he did was not bringing along a map and see that the crossing of the river was only a few hundred meters away from the bus.

Still, it's probably one of the best books I've ever read. It is like a report on what idealistic and socially outcast young men looked like before vidya and the chans. I'm reluctant to call him an incel, especially because he was not socially unpopular or something, but the deep failure to understand the dynamics of modern society led him to do what he did. He might have made mistakes, but I respect him and Krakauer deeply.

My English teacher hated the book when I took it on the reading list for my finals. This book is a thorn in the eye of people who don't actually care about young male world views.

Wild potato in Alaska are not nightshades, they are legumes. The name is a consequence of them also having edible roots. The wild potato in this case was called such because it had edible roots, not because it was a direct ancestor of cultivated ones.

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.
