one ran away because he was a fag

Treadwell was less retarded and better prepared

sound logic over here

Christopher McCuckless
>couldn't even last a single summer in the woods
>gave himself rabbit starvation because he was too retarded to hunt anything other than small game
>poached a moose and was too retarded to preserve any of the meat
>too retarded to notice a hand operated tram spanning the river he failed to cross which would have allowed him to walk out to safety
>too retarded to realize that he was literally less than 20 miles from civilization and he could have lit a large bonfire and the local fire department would have swooped in to save him
>spent most of his time taking selfies and making pseudo-intellectual journal entries
>died alone like a bitch

Let's pretend his passion was Nascar driving...

Christopher McCandless sets off, from California in an old car he rebuilt himself (he replaced the fenders and painted it), on a trip to the Daytona 500. He only gets across the state line when he runs out of fuel because he forgot to fill it up. Instead of simply walking to the nearest gas station or flagging down help he decides to push his car over an embankment and set it on fire. He then proceeds to walk on foot to the nearest car lot (which happens to be in Mexico for some reason, mostly because he burned up his map in the car and he's been taking backroads.) He finds an old bicycle in a garbage dump and uses that.

He finally gets to the car lot and buys a fixer-upper for $50. Before leaving the car lot he has to change a tire, which he replaces with the solid rubber donut. He buys fuel and heads off to the Daytona 500 again. Only he's heading deeper into Mexico and eventually ends up broken down in front of, "Autodromo Internacional de la Jolla" due to no water in the radiator. The engine block has seized up. Luckily, there's a race about to start. Christopher...er "Alexander Superspeeder", who changed his name, pays the $125 entry fee for the race.

Unfortunately, Alexander Superspeeder doesn't have a race car. He does however have an old bicycle still. He uses the bicycle to race. He makes it only 3 laps before he is too tired to steer straight and veers off into a race car and is killed.

Some Jew picks up his story and writes a book about his life and how he followed his dreams. Another Jew makes a movie about it. Armchair racers around the world adore him.

The End.

kek good post user

...

Treadwell since he was eaten by a fucking bear lmao

kekd heartily

>Treadwell ate by a bear.
>McCandless ate himself.

They're both gigantic retards in their own ways, at least bus guy only killed himself, probably an easier death(he froze to death eventually or something? that's one of the better ones) than being eaten alive as well

Treadwell spent months in the wilderness and filmed some of it, so he wins by default. The other guy's activities are too mysterious and that photo of him by the bus is the only picture I've ever seen of what he did. Were there ever photos taken of his dead body as it was found?

He slowly starved too death.

grizzly man 10/10
into the wild 7/10

treadwell wins again

T. neet
They ran away... to one of the harshest environments on earth.
That said Treadwell was definitely a fag and McCandless was never known to have a girlfriend.

>at least bus guy only killed himself
Treadwell's girlfriend agreed to go with him. He didn't make her go, and she is probably the reason they got killed.

and both of them died

The reason he got killed was he stayed longer than he usually did. Food was in short supply and bears were hungrier and more aggressive.

>The virgin buscuck
>The Chad Grizzleyman

Treadwell was a buffoon and lived off pure luck far longer than he should've.

McCandless I feel a bit differently about, if only because I was similarly idealistic at that age (yes, I'm an oldfag, shut up) and I love woodsy areas. But it's hard to be entirely sympathetic considering that his idealism approached pathological proportions. He actively rejected the entire concept of being as prepared as possible when heading out to the Alaskan wilderness, believing that it wasn't "true" bonding with nature unless you survived with only your wits and whatever you craft with your own two hands.

I remember one passage from Into the Wild where a guy was giving him a ride up close to the river near his camp (the last person he'd ever see) and the guy said that McCandless only reluctantly accepted a pair of boots he offered him (he'd only been wearing fucking shoes). The guy also offered him a map of the area, which McCandless turned down. 'Cuz that would be "cheating", y'see.

He had "book smarts" but was phenomenally stupid when it came to surviving in the real world. But some think that he knew exactly what he was doing and this was just one long, elaborate "suicide by nature" because he couldn't bring himself to live in a world so at odds with his idealism.

There's absolutely no denying that Treadwell knew hundreds of times more about surviving unaided in the wilderness than McCandless did

Also, McCandless didn't even have much by way of "book smarts" either, his ideas were completely baseless and his arguments were presented without any logical rigor. Which is why he swiftly died when he tried to live according to his stupid theories
