Christopher McCandless was an American adventurer and itinerant who gained fame for his journey into the Alaskan wilderness in 1992. Driven by a desire for self-discovery and a rejection of materialism, he adopted the name "Alexander Supertramp" and hitchhiked across the United States before ultimately surviving in the wild for several months. His life and tragic death were later chronicled in Jon Krakauer's book "Into the Wild," which inspired a documentary and a film adaptation.

Tramping is too easy with all this money. My days were more exciting when I was penniless and had to forage around for my next meal... I've decided that I'm going to live this life for some time to come. The freedom and simple beauty of it is just too good to pass up.Into the Wild, 1996
