"Gallien offered to drive Alex all the way to anchorage, buy him some decent gear, and then drive him back to wherever he wanted to go" (Krakauer 6).
Travel Advice
Chris inspired many people around the world, but his bad habits of taking everything to his own hands might be the reason he died. Going out into the wild with just a ten pound bag of rice, a rifle, a few cooking utensils, and a few books. But in Gallien's eyes those camping tools just weren't enough. "He had no ax, no bug dope, no snowshoes, no compass. The only navigational aid in his possession was a tattered state Road map he'd scrounged at a gas station" (Krakauer 5). Chris's family had no idea where Chris was, nor did Chris tell his family that he changed his name to Alex. Having someone to know you is very important. Chris had no connection to home and was disposed off the face of the earth
