Prompt: After reading Chapter 1 of Into the Wild, consider your first impression of Christopher McCandless. Based solely on the events and details presented in this opening chapter, do you believe McCandless truly understood the risks he was taking when he entered the Alaskan wilderness? Why or why not?

 In class today we learned about dangers while thru-hiking such as bears, spiders, rattlesnakes and more. We also learned 10 essential things you will need to embark on a thru hike is clothes, medicine, food, phone, water, footwear, backpack, tent, lighter, hygiene supplies, sleeping bag, first aid kit, flashlight, lighter.

I also learned about Christopher McCandless who donated 24,000 dollars of savings to charity and went to Alaska and cut of all family contact, he was found dead in Alaska after trying to live alone in the wilderness.
