More Information
Into the Wild tells the adventures of Christopher McCandless, a top student at Emory University and an athlete. After graduating in 1992, McCandless decides to give his entire $24,000 savings account to OXFAM and burn all the money in his wallet. He hitchhikes all the way to Alaska to live in the wild, bringing only a .22 caliber rifle, a camera, several boxes of rifle rounds, some camping gear, and a small selection of literature, including a field guide to the region's edible plants, Tana'ina Plantlore. During his adventure, he encounters several unique people that change his life before he faces the dangers of wilderness.
