The only thing that impresses me is how someone got that bus all the way there! Not some jack off who tried to live in it... Anywho If I lived anywhere near Alaska I would travel to the bus and beat it with a sledge hammer until there was nothing left... Just saying
He could have lasted alot longer If he had a up to date map because he would have known there was A working tram a 1/4 of a mile down river the whole reason he died is he didn't want to cross the river .
If you think about it, the bus was really more of a curse than a blessing for Chris. Had he not found it, he probably would have come back sooner when the river wasn't so high.
somebody has the took part of the dash and sold it on ebay for 170 bucks or something like that. im gonna try to go over there in a couple years hopefully the buss isnt taken apart by people that dont respect it
This the movie is not a Hollywood action movie with happy ending, so the average American just cannot put it anywhere in their brain.
This movie is A+++. It is a spiritual journey that most people can't even imagine.
The most journey American people do is to drive down to WalMart or Mc Donalds for their stupid nasty brainless shit. All they think is work work work and buy buy buy. Most of hem don't even know what camping means how to put a nail in the wall or cook a decent meal.
it's sad that people takes thing. ever heard of something called sharing. everyone should be allowed to see everything that was left. people should not take pieces of the bus etc. as something to remember. take photos/ film the place but dont take what isn't yours.
One thing is for sure, the bus will not stay there forever but the story about Chris will!
I hope the State of Alaska does something to preserve the bus. Word is people who make it to the bus are taking pieces of it home with them. The dashboard instrument panel even showed up on eBay!
Hahahahahhah! Totally right. I hate people who do things like that. It's a shame. This bus should be left how it is. It's not there to make money from. I swear, people have no respect or soul.
I think what chris did was remarkable im fr canada and i hunt with nothin but my gun and feet and its not easy .was he really happy when he died i dont think so. rip chris
There NEEDS tobe MORE movies about topics like this one.Films inspire folks todo GREAT things in their life times. "Make your own path,"and don't be afraid to share your journey with others...Dewey-thruhiker

"Alex Supertramp wished he never killed the moose. His life's worst tragedy. So Sean Penn then kills another moose to dramatize this worst tragedy. The real Christopher McCandless would've been heartbroken by the gratuitous murder of this spectacular animal for a movie. Sean Penn's self-aggrandizing is exactly what McCandless was running away from! Emile Hirsch really have to starve to death to dramatize McCandless' death. RESPECT ALEX SUPERTRAMP - DO NOT SEE THIS FILM!"
The moose shown being prepared in the movie "Into the Wild" was a road-kill...it had been hit by a vehicle and was kept frozen for two months before being shot on film. No additional wild life was harmed in making this film.
In the book, it says that McCandless was upset that most of the Moose meat had spoiled even though he attempted to preserve it through a steaming method. Not sure if he was upset that he killed an animal. He obviously killed smaller animals on an almost daily basis too.

McCandless was a fool who didn't prepare for his adventure. If he knew a WHIT about the topic he would have known to strip the meat for drying. It's in our Alaskan culture, it's what we do here. His squeamish boy's heart wasted good 'stink meat' that a Native brother would have cherished. He could have eaten the maggots (called "long rice") when cooked. He had only fantasy. He should have come to Alaska and lived the dream like so many have.
It may be nothing to you. It's an issue for us to have to often comment about that 'adventurer' who died in Alaska. He was NOT an Adventurer -- he was a fool and not someone to admire.
People like me devote our lives to learn respect and gain knowledge of the wilderness. THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. The McCandless message is sour and angry.
But he gets the press and affects our next generation while true adventurers are barely even heard. I weep for the children, so yes -- it angers me.
It saddens me so much. So many people totally missed the point of what Chris was doing. Open your eyes, and have the courage to think about things in a broader spectrum. Do away with this "conventional thinking" that doesn't allow you to truly see the beauty of what Chris did.

I have some problems with Penn's film too, but "the moose" ain't one of 'em. You're correct that the moose that Emile Hirsch butchers was, in fact, a"real moose," BUT, it was NOT "murdered" for the film. The production worked closely with the Alaskan Highway Patrol to procure ROADKILL for the film. That scene was shot "on the fly" when the moose had been hit (and killed) by a car 4 hours earlier, and 30 miles away. RELAX, my friend.
just in case u guys didnt no this chris died in this bus back in 1992! they made a book about him and his life and the final moments of his life its called into the wild!!!
Actually, it was very adventurous my cynical friend... we had to CARRY the helicopter and the pilot out there and back! All that while out running a pack of hungry wolves and dodging a fierce brush fire!
