Introduction

Into The Wild was written by Jon Krakauer in 1996. It is about a young man named Chris McCandless who gave up everything after graduating college. He stopped talking to his family, gave away all his savings, abandoned his car, and gave himself a new name, Alexander Supertramp. After two years of living in South Dakota he started to hitchhike a trail in Alaska with only 10 pounds of rice, a 22 caliber rifle, several boxes of rifle rounds, a camera, and a small selection of reading material. He died later after surviving more than 100 days. I think it will be a great book filled with adventure and new experiences.
