don't go see this movie: into the wild
into the wild opened in theaters a week or so ago.
the film was inspired by a true story and directed by sean penn. it looks pretty great. plot summary: "after graduating from emory university, top student and athlete christopher mccandless abandons his possessions, gave his entire $24,000 savings account to charity and hitchhiked to alaska to live in the wilderness. along the way, christopher encounters a series of characters that shape his life."
the reason you shouldn't go see this movie? i'm selfish. i don't want my [few] readers to finally decide to pursue their dirtbaggin' dreams and leave me blogging all solo.
for you text lovers, there's also a book by the same title written by noted outdoor writer and mountaineer jack krakauer.

Hey... nothing wrong with watching the movie. Although reading the book would be a much better idea! Nice blog. Been trying to find more climbers blogs recently. Interesting ones are hard to come by.
The film was amazing! I think it is definitely worth seeing. And don't worry David, its not gonna inspire any of your readers to go off the grid...
jon krakauer. not jack.
and i too, wonder how many people are going to pack their one bag and head north now.
