This video is a project I did for a coglele class. ◊ posted by Danilo @ May 02, 2012

This video is a project I did for a coglele class.Obviously, I have hiked to the bus myself. I don't want to say led' but I definitely organized a group of eight that made the trek June 26-28 of 2009.I'd have to disagree with the rich's comment that the movie was bad. I think the movie was well done, for what it is. I think Krakauer and Penn are largely responsible for over romanticizing the story, nudging some pertinent details around, and skewing or omitting details for the sake of telling a better story.The reality of the situation may never be known in it's entirety. I don't believe Chris to be a hero, or his story an exceptionally glorious one. I think what makes it so compelling is just the struggle he went through to find meaning in life and how badly he intentionally and unintentionally hurt a lot of people.What I take away from it is a certain sense of the fleetingness of earthly relationships; the importance of forgiveness and mercy. I never want to do anything that leaves my family with the pain that he left his family with. Even if it was an accident (which I believe it was) that he didn't make it back out alive, we can learn from it that we need to be more mindful of the risks we take.That said, the video isn't about Christopher McCandless, it's about hiking the Stampede Trail. Obviously the main reason people hike it is to get to the bus (as the trail really peters out after that in the summer anyway) but I would argue with anyone who says it's not a fun hike of and on it's own. The river crossing adds a challenge that I found to be exciting. Had the water been much higher than it was when I got there, I would probably have turned around, and if I ever do the trip again, I think I would like to do it in April.My hope is that by watching the video certain people who are totally under prepared and under experienced will choose to either forget it, or put it off till they get more experience. For those people qualified, I hope to address the specific challenges they will face so they know what to do/pack to be prepared and avoid ending up dead as well.
