I have yet to get really into Into the Wild but I am kind of excited for it. I know the vague outline of what happens from the movie but I have already read some and their are just so many more details. For example I have read the first chapter which is about him hitching a ride to get into the wilderness. A native alaskan is very surprised to see this traveler going to the wilderness with such a light pack after Alexander Supertramp, or Christopher McCandless is headed too. On their way, they get to know each other pretty well and get into deep conversation about certain things. He even tries to persuade Alex not to pursue the wilderness. He also tells him he will buy him some more supplies and bring him back later but Alex refuses. The man drives Alex as far as he can then drops him where as he can go no farther in the deep snow. As Alex is leaving, the man gives him some water proof boots and thanks him very much for it. He also gives him his number and tells him to call him if he makes it out alive.
