I think he just wanted to pursue life in a different way. Chris was not seeing life the way anyone else was, so he decided to brush off into the wild and be free on his own. Though he did not survive, he was still a very bright, arrogant human being. Shaun Callarman states, “He had no common sense, and he had no business going into Alaska with his Romantic silliness.” Chris knew going into the wild that he did not have much survival skills, but that did not stop him from doing what he wanted to do because he did not care about society and was just completely over everything which was why he made the move to the wilderness.

I feel as a lot of past just reflected on Chris and made him just want to be a more of adventurous type of guy and one that didn’t take a chance for granted. Looking back into the documentary, McCandless spoke how when he had chose to take off and did that he wouldn’t hear as much from his parents about them wondering why he didn’t want to come back or just as if they didn’t seem to show that they cared that he suddenly just left into the wild. Although, it spoke clearly of his sister’s concerns of him leaving because they talked on the documentary and were able to share stories of their childhood growing up with Chris and how much they worried for his safety of him being gone away for the amount of months.
