The Intrepid Explorer Kept a Notebook During His Time in The Woods to Record the Details of His Travels.
Because Chris McCandless wanted to prove that he could survive off the land, he only took 10 pounds of rice with him when he set off. He had a single firearm with him: a handgun-sized hunting rifle. This was only the beginning of a new adventure for the adventurer, as he spent the next 16 weeks learning how to survive off the land in the wilderness.
What exactly is the problem with this? It was quite difficult for him to find anything to eat. On the other hand, Chris successfully captured geese and squirrels, but the caribou he killed decomposed before it was ready for him to consume it! The in-depth diary that Chris kept recounted how he survived despite being trapped in the snow, growing weaker by the day, and making repeated attempts to survive.
