Why did you decide to do this?

Viva*the*Ranger · 06-10-2009, 08:32 AM

Damn man. You ever read the book "In to the wild"? If not, you should. Have fun, and enjoy it as much as possible. Wish ya luck.

BlackBII · 06-10-2009, 08:57 AM

Yeah, I just watched that movie...

Be sure to bring a good amount of food with you.

Good luck.

superdave1984 · 06-10-2009, 09:25 AM

How are you able to afford to do that? I presume you have no family or job. You just going to rely on your outdoor skills to survive or what? Good luck bro.

Hey, if you're passing through Canada, make sure you try the beaver...maybe you can even talk one into joining you on the trek...

Jay FX4 · 06-10-2009, 10:43 AM

I hope you have thought this through and it's not just a knee-jerk reaction to something that happened in your life. With that said, good luck, man! I would love the freedom to be able to do something like that....

dirtyrangerclub · 06-11-2009, 08:50 PM

hey thanks alot guys. well i just got my cdl and i was looking for work. but i figure hell, im 23, i have no kids or bills. i dump my g/f of a 1.5 years. so i have nothing holding me here. im on unemployment and before i start a career. i want to enjoy myself and the great outdoors. i dont want to chase a pay check and have bills yet. yes i did see the movie "Into The Wild." i have the same views on life as Chris McCandless. he inspired me greatly. thats why im going to the magic bus in alaska first. i wanna pay respect to him.. than im going to hike and raft the redwood forest. always want to see a redwood tree. than im going to oakland Ca. to start my way across america an the discovery trail.

**Jim Oaks** · 06-11-2009, 09:48 PM

So, what route will you take across the US?

dirtyrangerclub · 06-12-2009, 05:54 PM

feellnfroggy · 06-12-2009, 06:23 PM

I dont mean to be offensive, but it sounds liek a volunteer bum to me. On the other hand you could get some awesome life experiences from it. I'll be praying for you. PM me a name so I can do so if you don't mind. Otherwise I'll have to pray for the backpack guy, LOL.

Keep in mind that most of the folks that live here in Alaska think McCandless was a moron. He basically comitted suicide. Please don't do what he did. That said, the bus is out there and easy to get to. Quite the walk if that is what you have in mind. Pretty country.
