Into the Wild Take 1

[lucaspoznanski4322]

The driver looks like Chris McCandless. The real one, not the shampoo model from the movie.

[santaeff]

I like Alaska. At the genetic level. I was born on the other side of the Bering Strait

[ZirconicToker420]

[mtcaving]

@tent042

Yeah, it was interesting.

The truck used to be mine.

[julinization]

Great pickup truck, right?

Alaska looks sweet

[cobradth]

great man .chiv

[maxmiggo]

Damn man, did you not care about your ride?

[p12231]

alex supertramp!!!

[ChuCk230e]

Should have done it on some quads

[zoefzoefali]

Absolutely a beautiful story, and movie

[kavay71]

whats the point?try to die?

[JG129]

And what do you defy living ?? I know I'm 19 and started working 5 days a week and this sure as hell doesnt feel like living. Its basically sleep walking through life, everything becomes routine. So think about what actually living is before you try and understand death!!

[Rossmancracka13]

kavay71 - please, grow up, and until you do,get the hell off of youtube - your just annoying people on youtube with comments that look like a nerdy 11 year old wrote them

the point is obvious - JUST HAVING FUN; cause theres more to life than staying inside and "being safe"

[EaglesOnShield]

Damn now your truck is all scratched

[mtcaving]

Yeah, it is pretty much ruined, although now scratching it doesn't bother me. Always a positive.

[oscarscheepstra]

@mtcaving well, I think having a scratched truck is way more fun than having a perfectly clean and shiny one!

[buffycharmedangel102]

I think its awesome.. Wish I could have gone along

[ojibwaywmn]

Why are people calling the place where someone died "the bus", like its a tourist attraction now ?, people should make their own adventures, and not live through others, its cool to be inspired yes, but go your own way.

[AspirinXX]

I totaly agree with that. Write your own story.

[frognerkirke]

they just wanted to see the buss where he lived man...dont be dickheads.

[ditchoven]

yeah seriously, if anyone who is anyone who was inspired as much as I was by this story, you'd want to go and just take in where it all went down, just so you could match up your own mental stability.....at least that's how I think....

[stSNOWMAN1]

@ojibwaywmn true but its always nice to see some thing that youve heard so much about and see it for your self and see if you want your adventure to be like the other persons

[paintdataint]

@ojibwaywmn they call it the bus because would "the place where mccandless died" sound better to you? What have you done in your life? Apparently you cant honor lives of people that inspire so many anymore.

[waldenpondogre]

@paintdataint I agree with him, not with you. Seems a little sick, if you ask me.

[StarWind009]

i dont get why you just get a bunch of shots of the truck. like some are okay but theres a limit. especially when its pointless and looks stupid. i'd rather see more of the bus then the stupid truck going through the snow.

[mtcaving]

Look at some of the other videos, there should be enough of the bus to keep almost everyone happy.

[dannywodes]

Hey what is your job?? Im thinking about getting a job in alaska for the summer before i go to college and as an alaskan would you have any recommendations for an 18-19 year old.

[mtcaving]

Lot of summer jobs in and around the park. Me I work as an engineer up here in Fairbanks.

[cold02rex]

Awesome vids and story guys.

[mtcaving]

Thanks!

[cold02rex]

LOL yeah cause he's a hero somehow.

[minus1882]

he did what he believed that made him a hero. unlike the rest of people in this world that does what they are told to do.

[anurexia]

So, the person that took this video was related to the making of 'Into The Wild'?

[mtcaving]

Nope, no relation. This is the real location though.

[wodanowitz]

this was a comment to sleadhead99645

[friedbrains5]

i loved this movie and ill hopefully read the book soon.

[mtcaving]

You should, it is well worth it.

[kristaohjoy]

ooo you were just hated on by an Alaskan. I enjoyed your video(s) though.

[mtcaving]

Been hated on by quite a few lately....long story. Thanks for the comment.

[Fallbrookmudd]

Thank God you had the radar detector!

[mtcaving]

Sure saved the day.

[jkrolikowski]

good ad for Toyota

[Apocolypticor]

I've heard people in Alaska have a mad superiority complex.

[grahamillionare]

i saw into the wild. magnificent film!

[MrGrieves14]

I'd suggest reading the book. I did, and am going to see the movie tommorow

[ghfpro]

"hey we can dub the music in later. dont worry about it."

love it

[magdalenus]

Awesome videos, mate. I just posted this one on my blog, The Poverty Jet Set (dot com). Come check it out!

[tubeusa]

Oh my God, I read the book 5 years ago and had been wondering when someone would make a film of it. I am so glad that eventually this story made it to Hollywood. I am definitely going to watch it. It is the best book I have ever read and I have never forgotten about this story.

[1077ching]

wow. i am reading the book now and paused to see if anything was on you tube--thats how i found your post mtcaving. very neat but also spooky. you seem joking and collected ---was that to hide your feeling as you retraced the path and thought about alex? something caused you to go out there and connect with the experience. i wish i could. i live in dc but travel for work. maybe on an upcoming trip/ life is fragile and interesting. thanks for sharing your experience! Peter

[stolenbikesridefastr]

should be interesting to watch the number of views skyrocket as the movie's released and more people have read krakauer's book. it currently sits at 1,821 views. -dave supertramp

[mtcaving]

That is part of the experiment. Also hopefully it will inspire me to upload some of my newer stuff.

[stolenbikesridefastr]

wow - quick reply from the director himself. wonder if sean penn will be as speedy to get back to me on IMDB. good video,sir. the story is fascinating; i finished the book this afternoon. expect a lot of hits.

[mtcaving]

Somehow I doubt it, although I did run into him out there in the woods a few weeks ago. Be sure to check out the other videos for more views of the area. I have some new stuff coming when I get time to process it.

[Cosmoline]

He was there during spring and summer. Everything looks different then. There's a lot more vegetation.

[mtcaving]

Yeah, there is. It is also harder to get out there because half the trail turns into a bog. Very scenic.

[sarmannj059]

When was this taken? And r u going to hunt? and do u know the story of Christopher McCandless or Alex McCandless?

[mtcaving]

Oh, mostly just going to try to get stuck and in trouble. Yeah, the story is one of the reasons I went there.

[ShrivldRichard]

Fuckin sweet man, I have wanted to head up there for a while now. Let me know if you go agian and you need a hippie to tag along...
