Dysfunctional parents completely disconnected/severed denied their kids what they actually needed parents who didn’t deserve their kids it’s understandable why he divorced his parents and gave himself a new name. His sister’s book could have easily been called The Ugly Truth instead of The Wild Truth, but it wasn’t a book about their parents so much as it was to clear her brother’s name. Just a crappy story overall extremely self absorbed parents what a hell.

Sounds like the kid was a spoiled brat who was immature and ungrateful, all that money he so "heroically" gave away or burned all came from his parents. The college education he shit all over ... Paid for by mommy and daddy. Sure he worked off jobs afterwards but I don't see why he's held as a hero . That said I loved the movie and the book was great also

Well the reason the story is so fascinating is because a lot of us fancy ourselves survivalist then this clearly illustrates how we wouldn’t have a chance. Wouldn’t last 3-4 months. Between spoiling meat and poison seeds, what else is there? We don’t know thus…

@barry88443 ай бұрын
@@Aussieduderivs1 Kinda hard to explain. Chris moved to Annandale with his family, I think, in 1974. That would make him 6 and me 9 years old. I sort of remember, but can't really explain, but he seemed to have strong opinions about things. I sort of recall talking with him, and there were certain things that he felt a certain way about. He was smart. I remember one day we were playing tag, and I was chasing him. He was smaller than than me, but it was kind of hard to catch him. So, I just ran and followed him around casually to wear him down and get him out of breath. Well, he kept running and running, and I ran out of breath and fell on the ground. And he was still running around. I was thinking like Wow - he can run forever! We were pretty good friends while we were both in elementary school. Once I went to junior high, we stopped hanging around - no real reason why. I recall when I was a young adult, I was reading the newspaper about the local sports of the high school that we went to, and they were talking about the high school track team. I was thinking that Chris was probably on the team. When I read the article, I found out that he was the captain of the track team at Woodson High School. LOL - I wasn't surprised! I also remember one time I got him to ride bicycles with me about a mile away from our houses to a park with sidewalk trails and little bridges - Truro Park. We were gone for about an hour or so. We rode back to Chris's house, and his Mom came outside. She was upset and asked him where he was. He quietly said that he was at a park. He didn't lie. She told him to get in the house right now, and that he was in big trouble. I remember the look on his face - and it wasn't good. I went home thinking that his parents were real strict (stricter than mine). She said something about letting his father know, but that was pretty much it. I never asked him what happened later on that day. Another time, I was in his house, and Chris, his sister, and I were playing in the living room. They told me that I had to be real quiet and only whisper, not talk. So we whispered. I asked why. Chris said that his Dad was home. I said, oh he's sleeping? No, he's not sleeping, but he's home. That was kinda strange.

What I'd love to know is how long he expected to survive in that cold and unforgiving environment, if he hadn't found the bus. He surely didn't intend to live out of his tent for weeks on end, did he? Did he know, in advance, the bus was there? Did someone in Healy tell him about it? In any case, the irony is he chose to rely on the very thing he purported to disavow - human technology. I struggle with that part, even though I am fascinated by Chris himself and find him blameless for the events that led to his death. He did his very best, right up until the end. R.I.P.
