They were close, but now where does it go fro here?

for sure!!

Dustin Ammerman a lot of people don’t think of him as an inspiration... but I think of him as a inspiration and idiot he is a hero and a fool what he did was amazing but how he did he was stupid

I find her very inspirational. She's taken on the legacy of her brothers love of the wilderness and respecting the beauty of the wild

Why? Because she's just milking his fame?

Her brother was a dummie

It was romanticize by a shitty Hollywood lib-tard producer/ actor named Sean Penn. It’s to bad the movie wasn’t produced by Carine first.

@@JohnDoe-zb7dz nature is romantic know?

TheNLHunting true

Maddening bastards indeed.

I totally agree, I think it's quite a shame, I think many that go , think, as I am guilty myself, that is a walk in the park and find it kind of incomprehensible that someone could possibly run into trouble there, so they drag a ton of stuff, to be prepared, not realizing the impact of it. I myself thought, "what's so hard?" " just go prepared". But after doing the research, and watching and listening to others, I don't think I seriously could, and I would NEVER want to leave my unnecessary impact on such a beautiful place

My thoughts exactly. Free spirited wanderers they call themselves. Every piece of trash got carried in there. You carried it in, you carry it out. Simple. Sadly the liberal hipster type has no respect for anything.

Exactly, right on!!!

Im glad they removed the trash

because hippies are actually lousy conservationists

It’s actually self explanatory

when you get to heaven lahey will have a drinky poo waiting for ya.. your a good soul.

It's a memorial and should be kept up, not left to deteriorate. However, keeping the environment clean is important, too.

Isnt the trash / litter lighter - on the way home ? Why to leave it there ? Bring - trash backs - to bring everything BACK !

@@KatherineUribe-1 It's not a memorial. It's a hunting shelter where an idiotic bum starved to death.

@@joelcoley2606 Is Carine an idiot too?........Show some respect ..FFS.

@Max Gurth Have They solved the problem - by Now ! Is it World Travellers with No brain ? At Himalayas the trash is a real problem - That Nobody has thought of ? I You have money to travel - Please Dont LITTER !

Interested.... what was your purpose for going? Was it what you expected? Is your story somewhere we can read/watch/enjoy?

Kelsey west God bless you 🙌💖

I am!

If it is that remote, how did that bus ended up there in the first place? Shouldn’t there be a road nearby? (Btw, I’m from Belgium, and even here the bus was on our national news report on television 😉)

@@kristofsportingdogs3549 The 1940s-era bus, sometimes called “Bus 142” or “The Magic Bus,” was used to house employees by the Yutan Construction Co. when it built an access road about 25 miles west of the Parks Highway, the main thoroughfare between Anchorage and Fairbanks. The bus was abandoned in 1961 and had become an emergency shelter for those using the backcountry to recreate or hunt.

I am and the story behind is so intriguing.

ME..... I CRIED SO HARD AND WAS SO DEEPLY AFFECTED AFTER WATCHING THE MOVIE AND IT HAS STAYED WITH ME ALL OF THESE YEARS. GOD BLESS THIS FAMILY & I HOPE CHRIS IS STILL HIKING UP THERE IN HEAVEN SEEING THE BEAUTIFUL VIEWS.

Well said that is what i was tought to no matter where you are

I don't think he was a legend. Much more he was very unknown and naive........but to his credit, when yet still so young.........

@@christinecallahan5512 i hear you. but yes, I feel he wrote his story in history by trying to the extremes that nobody would probably want to try, by showing the extremes of survival to a level where he became a subject of research at the cost of letting go of his life. So he stands an example of a life's possibilities.

James Sween the bus is gone :(

Gta V what? They took the bus out? Why?

The book by jon krakauer into the wild great read and moive is good. I hate that people leave trash! We have a saying in Wyoming if you pack it in you pack in it out

Luvie1980 the shots are made by the locals to make it less hospitable for the green pilgrims who usually cause problems as chris did he was breaking into cabins and vandalizing them there are videos made by the victims

+Sam gforce. Did you see him do it, is he on camera doing it? Or is it just people talking shit like you are?

but the whole bus there is trash...

Sam gforce bullshit Sammy. BULLSHIT .. gheyforce.

I can, look around in any city trash all over the place. bunch of people who do not give a shit!

Good idea because that bus shouldn't be blamed for more lost lives.

It's in a Alaskan museum, some people feel the bus is haunted even because some people feel there's his spirit in and around the bus and some of those that say haunted used to stay the night when it was in the wild.

Del Stanley. This is so sad, looking to their whole life together and just that quick your spouse is gone.

francesco89436 why thank him?

Did you ever go?

@Craig wells Hello craig, you still planning to make it out in september?

I saw your video where you visited the 49th State Brewery and the "Into the Wild" bus. I have friends in Alaska right now and they just visited there as well because their friend owns the place.. it's all an interesting bit of synchronicity, to me at least lol..

And you nailed it. I watched your video few days ago. It's interesting.

Who knew it you'd go that big gabriel? Good luck to your iraq tour

@@penguinwill7473 Right on, glad to hear it.

So are we!

To whom?? And for what reason??

The bus has been removed now. Too many unprepared people getting in trouble trying to hike to the bus. It is now at the U of Fairbanks Museum of the North where it will eventually be on display.

I loved your comment. I believe that Chris' life, although cut devastatingly short, was lived in such a remarkable way, that it amassed a story so legendary that it has actually been life-changing for countless of people who have become fascinated with Chris' crowning life-work. He had a dauntless amount of courage to voyage through all of the tremendous adventures that ended up becoming his ultimate purpose in life. He left behind a dearly beloved legacy that will live on in his honor for the rest of eternity. By the way - Just wanted to give an extra BIG SEMPER FI to you and to your son!! As the daughter of a Marine Vet myself - I'm sure you must have been one HELL of an outstanding mother to have raised a United States Marine!!

Like wise sir!!! I will feel releive maybe when i will be able to go and visit the magic bus and to meet carine.

Carine has a journal there for visitors to sign.

no one should be going in the bus in the first place...

@@jimlahey4772 is just an old abandoned bus for shelter they just need to respect and not write and leave trash

thats why it was left there in the first place for people who needed shelter . Not only should it remain the way it was but it should not become a no trespassing tourist attraction either . that bus was never ment to become a tourist attraction it was ment to help people in need in case they got lost or something of the kind . If that bus wouldn't have been there for that exact reason Chris McCanless would have never been found by the hunters . That bus was ment for hickers and thats how it should remain si that the next Chris McCandless can take shelter in it . Cause there will be a next one be sure of it . That kid wasn't unique to have that mentality and lots of kids today have the same and many have done the same already its only a question of time before another gets trapped in that area again since many have already since Chris . remember that he wasn't the only one who was reported lost in the area that same time and the person was never found again . Chris was lucky to have found the bus so people could find his body . The other who got lost at the same time didn't get that same luck

@Brett Yarborough The bus was used for road maintenance crews on a local - the same road used to access the bus which is now not much of a road. The engines were removed at the same time the contractor installed the beds and wood fired stoves. This one had an axle break so they cut it loose from the Cat tractor pulling it where it sits to this day. It was used for a long time prior to Mr. McCandless as a back country shelter for hunters in the area - so yes, it's for shelter for anyone who comes across it, and though I agree silly people should be taking their trash out using the "leave no trace" attitude - it still should be open for people to visit. The majority of visitors do so because they feel a connection to the story - a positive connection. Just because a few are disrespectful, I don't believe that warrants ruining things for the majority.

She told us... Wool socks.

"Hike your own hike"

Tread lightly

+WILD THINGS> Perhaps, perhaps not. Trailblazers set solid paths for many to follow in science and the arts. There is no shame in following a route established by others particularly when one has no idea where to start. Many people have started on established routes, and have improved upon them. People shouldn't be over influenced by platitudes and romance in lieu sound judgement. The Donner Party chose their own path! There are just a few and established routes to the top of Mt. Everest; for good reason. Not many are trying to create a new route to the top there. Animals have survived for eons following established paths, it has served them well. Personally, I would hate to see every mother's son and daughter trying to create their own path in say a Yellowstone NP because it's a grand and rich in wisdom sounding platitude and reads so well in the Bible of the Wild. Even the poem about taking the less traveled road still follows an established path, albeit less traveled. Some of us follow paths simply because we are curious. We are not trying to reinvent the wheel, we are attempting just to know "why here," or "why there," a person did something. A kind of "getting into that person's head" to see what made them click. Don't get me wrong, I would never want to stop innovation and exploration just that following paths created by others is fine. I may want to fly to the moon one day, but chances are I will follow in the paths well established by others if I ever get there.

I like this comment. Btw, I was one of the people in the video on this hike. Honestly, this trail is pretty lame. There are much more beautiful places to go in Alaska. Stampede Trail is a swampy, flat, long, mosquito ridden hike. The bus is cool and all, but honestly, once you get out there it’s like, “Cool bus. Now what?” Carine got a lot more out of this hike than anyone else possibly could - she essentially walked in her brother’s footsteps. Especially when she crossed the Tek River with us; that was a pretty emotional experience for her.

Boy Scouts leave no trace for a reason.

That's Duke

The guy yelling at the dog to "get out of the shot", was very disrespectful as well😠

try thru hiking the appalachina trail.. clear your head for 5 months and find what you are looking for..might not be what you expected

Trash is the reason the bus was removed. It became a trash dump. Pathetic

I just read the GQ article about Christopher Knight. What a bizarre story. Not sure what to make of it. Interesting for sure though.
