A 1940s-era bus where a 24-year-old adventurer starved to death in the Alaskan wilderness has been removed after tourists died while trying to reach it. A US Army helicopter airlifted the vehicle from the spot just west of the Teklanika River, where it had been left to rust for more than half a century. The bus was made famous by Into The Wild, a book and film that told the story of Chris McCandless' death after he lived inside it for 114 days during the summer of 1992.

Appears (to me) he may have wanted to die.

but this was not about wilderness....the guy was totally unprepared mentally, physically, emotionally....I think he was suicidal from the beginning....he just didn’t care to live....

his father sounds like a piece of crap himself....

My Alaska souvenir says “Out of the bus and into the food chain”.
Shows a cartoon of a couple tourists with cameras and hungry bears ready to eat them.
