I vaguely remember the movie, "Into the Wild." From what I recall from the movie, it sounded like Christopher McCandless was lacking in long term survival skills and knowledge/experience of the region he was trying to survive in. It has been 7-8 years since the movie came out, which is when I saw it, so my memory may be hazy smile
