Some unprepared wannabe who got himself killed because of how unprepared he was is your hero? Weird choice.

Also, as the great Dr Henry Jones jr. said, “it belongs in a museum!” That thing was responsible for many deaths over the years, and would be better suited as a safe attraction to visit by all the white suburbanites sick of how fake their existence is. Maybe with a plaque stating how many rescue missions had to be sent out because of novices not knowing what they’re doing.

He survived for 113 days in the wilderness, not too bad. He was unprepared, yes, but it also seems he knew that what he was doing was risky, and he seems to have been ok taking that risk. I'm not quite sure - why judge him negatively?

Alaska has the most missing people per capital of any US state, a few times higher than the natural average. Not all of that is attributable to the wilderness, but much of it is. Nature isn't like a Disney movie, but many people don't seem to appreciate that.

Makes me sad and happy to see that, cause of changing a tragic story but also good to protect people. It's a 9 hour hike from Healy and the bus location is on Google maps.
