So He Got Stuck And Died Out There? Sounds Like Fun
-
If you're familiar with the book and movie "Into the Wild," you're aware that it's about a guy who starved to death (or was poisoned by the flora he ate) in an old bus in the Alaskan wilderness after he crossed a river to the bus and then couldn't cross back. This has led to hikers repeating the trek, not getting the message that you can, you know, die that way. This guy went with two other hikers across that river and couldn't make it back; lucky for him one of his companions was strong enough to battle the currents and get back to town to get help, which came in the form of a chartered helicopter. Apparently, a LOT of people get stuck while following this trek. And people WANT to do this? (Fairbanks News-Miner)
