Fool? Yes, but an intelligent fool. I admire his passion for nature along with his determination to go through with this. I wish I had the guts to just leave one day and take care of myself in the wild. Think of the peace and tranquility. He pretty much lived a transcendentalist's dream and put all his predecessors to shame. They had cabins in the woods but didn't go the whole way like Chris did. If I were more wilderness-savvy, I would love to try doing this myself, but probably for a shorter amount of time with the intention of returning to society.
I don't really think it's fair what Chris did to his friends and family, though they should have noticed something going on. It takes a lot of planning to leave such little behind for police to go off of.
But overall, I'm really excited to read this Into the Wild, and I think my admiration for Chris will only grow.
