In fairness, you can't say he was "totally unprepared" - he went quite well prepared, and he survived for several months.

I agree that his skills and abilities didn't match his ego - I suspect, personally, that he was a bit of an "adrenalin junkie". The main impression I got from the book was that he simply didn't learn the same lessons from experience as a "normal" person would. Whereas most of us would regard a close brush with death as an indication that we had pushed it a little too close to the edge, McCandless seemed to interpret it as further proof of his own invincibility. (Of course, maybe I'm thinking of Jeff Bridges's character in the movie "Fearless".)

But in fairness, I cannot agree that he was "totally unprepared".
