Late summer or fall hiking to the bus highly recommended. Dress accordingly, even in the summer the nights can get a bit nippy, or simply order the book from Amazon.

#5 People high in the personality trait Openness are entranced by the idiot Treadwell. To them he represents excitement and new experiences. To the rest of us he's a moron who got eaten by bears.

#6 So they read the book, or seen the movie, and still went there unprepared?
Sounds like they are more Idiot that Italian.
I think I saw the movie. Not that good - the guy ate something that effectively shut down his digestive system. He could not get out because the ever or stream was too full.

#7 The translation to Italian must have been bad.

In August 1992 I was flying my plane from Anchorage to NW Alaska. The weather was low and I could not fly west of Denali, so I flew up the Parks Highway and did a shortcut northwest and headed toward Tanana on the Yukon River. It was overcast and I must have been flying 700 feet above the ground. I saw the bus about 3/4 of a mile away to my right as I passed. Little did I know that McCandless was laying there in the bus, dying. That is not unusual in Alaska.
