Yeah. And he's having fun. He's occasionally making a statement by it, but mostly, he seems to want to have a place to himself away from his big, noisy family. Who show up at the end to join him, for some reason.

Like they said that that Into the Wild guy wasn't even in that dangerous or barren a part of the wilderness He created his own challenge by going out there totally ignorant without any help He had dozens of options for not starving to death he just didn't know about
