Christopher McCandless - this man takes the first place in the hit parade of people perished, trying to prove his pravilnoyst (mostly stupid) ideas.

What was he trying to prove? The fact that he, a white man with a university-educated, do not need the comfort of civilized life, so it. He does not need the fruits of civilization as such.

His method? Each of us probably have thoughts to drop everything and start over. Someone, as did Stas Kulesh, went to other countries. Somebody stop the fear that the new site World of Warcraft subscription will stop working. Christopher McCandless decided, well, to hell - left the family, comfort and reached Alaska. Almost without food and completely without equipment, simultaneously cursing "emptiness materialistic American society." He began with what remains of parental money donated to some charitable foundation, and in 1990 went to the north. Sometimes the stop and moonlighting, sometimes fed pasture, anyway, bad and the frozen Ranger took his galley. Christopher, calling himself Alex and asked him to throw before the start of the mountain trails used once the miners. Somewhere in the distance, our hero found thrown back in the forties bus, and settled there.

Five months later, he died of starvation. The note, found nearby, Alex was again Chris and sincerely asked for help of those who find it.

What's he got to prove? That corrupt capitalist society which he so fervently accused of unrighteousness - was thus the only thing that kept him afloat. "If this man were even a compass with a map, he would have survived." - Ranger Gallie said later.
