On the road
After graduating in 1990,he gave $24,000 of the $42,000 bequest of a family friend for his last two years of college,to the charity Oxfam International and began traveling,using the name "Alexander Supertramp" (Krakauer notes the connection with WH Davies,Welsh author of 'Autobiography of a Super-Tramp' published in 190 .McCandless made his way through Arizona,California,and South Dakota,where he worked at a grain elevator.McCandless alternated between having jobs and living with no money and little or no human contact,sometimes successfully foraging for food.He survived a flash flood but lost his car (the car was not actually lost; because of McCandless' lack of knowledge of mechanics,he thought it was unrepairable) along with kayaking down remote stretches of the Colorado River to the Gulf of California.McCandless took pride in surviving with a minimum of gear and funds,and generally made little preparation.
For years,McCandless dreamed of an "Alaskan Odyssey" where he would live off the land,far away from civilization,and keep a journal describing his physical and spiritual progress as he faced the forces of nature.In April 1992 McCandless hitchhiked to Fairbanks,Alaska.He was last seen alive by James Gallien,who gave him a ride from Fairbanks to the Stampede Trail.Gallien was concerned about "Alex",who had minimal supplies (not even a magnetic compass) and no experience of surviving in the Alaskan bush.Gallien repeatedly tried to persuade Alex to defer his trip,and even offered to drive him to Anchorage to buy suitable equipment and supplies.However,McCandless ignored Gallien's warnings,refusing all assistance except for a pair of rubber boots,two tuna melts,and a bag of corn chips.Eventually,Gallien dropped him at the head of the Stampede Trail on Tuesday,April 28,1992.
After hiking along the snow-covered Stampede Trail,McCandless found an abandoned bus used as a hunting shelter parked on an overgrown section of the trail near Denali National Park ( [show location on an interactive map] 63°51′36.13〃N,149°24′50.62〃W)[2] and began his attempt to live off the land.He had a 10-pound bag of rice,a Remington semi-automatic rifle,with plenty of .22LR hollowpoint ammunition,a book of local plant life,several other books,and some camping equipment.He assumed he could forage for plant food and hunt game.Despite his inexperience as a hunter,McCandless poached some small game such as porcupines and birds.Once he killed a moose; however,he failed to preserve the meat properly and it spoiled.Rather than thinly slicing and air-drying the meat,like jerky,as is usually done in the Alaskan bush,he smoked it,following the advice of hunters he had met in South Dakota.[3]

福尼亚州,和南达科他州,在那他做过谷物的收纳工作,Mccandless偶尔有工作
,偶尔却身无分文,他在这样的状态下持续他的旅行,无人交流,食物也需要自
己想办法.他历经一场山洪,车子毁了,人还好没事,他划着皮艇过了科罗拉多
河,对于几乎毫无财力和任何其他准备的情况下,可以穿越这条河,他很自豪.
长久以来,他心中有一片“阿拉斯加圣地”.在那里,他可以远离喧嚣,远离俗
世,并在面对自然压力的过程中,记录下自己身心的成长和收获.1992年4月,
他搭便车到了阿拉斯加的费尔班克斯,他是搭一个叫做格伦的人的车去的那,
格伦提到了ALEX,他说ALEX身上没带什么野外生存装备,也毫无在在阿拉斯加灌
木丛生存的经验.格伦劝他推迟他的旅行计划,他甚至说可以先载他到安可雷奇
去买一些必必须的装备.然而,Mccandless没有把格伦的建议听进去,拒绝了格
伦的帮助,除了接受了一双橡胶鞋,两个金枪鱼罐头,还有一袋炸玉米片.最后
,格伦和他于1992年4月8日星期二在斯坦伯德路的尽头告别.
在穿过被雪覆盖的斯坦伯德路后,Mccandless找到一辆废弃的巴士,并以这辆车
作为他在荒野中的住所,从此开始了他的荒野生活.他有一袋10磅的大米,一把
半自动步枪,和22LR的火药,一本关于野外植物的指导书,一些别的书,还有些
露营用品.他觉得他可以靠野外植物和打猎生存,尽管他根本没有用作为猎人的
野外生存经验.他煮过一些小猎物,比如豪猪和一些禽类,他还射杀过一只驼鹿
,但由于保存不当,食物全变质了.之后他开始把肉进行烟熏,是南达科他州的
猎户告诉他的方法.
