Comment on Into The Wild: The False Being Within by challkhmc

Medred is guilty of what he accuses Krakauer of – inventing a fiction to explain what can’t be understood. Clearly, McCandless as schizophrenic might give us a helpful explanation, but it wouldn’t give us the truth. Young adults don’t have journies into mental illness as Medred purports, they crash into disabling psychoses which render them incapaable of holding jobs, forming connected relationships, exhibiting successful problem solving and maintaining a focused goal, all characteristics chronicled by McCandless of his journey. No one can know completely what drove this young man, but fleeing the cynical life of his parents while drawn to the honest purity of the wild works for me. I’m certain of one thing only, he wouldn’t have trusted Mr. Medred.

I am so interested in this subject. I have been trying to research into what variety of blueberry is the best. I recently planted about 10 new plants into a bed but they are hybrid varieties ~~ only because I cant find any prolific wild producers. Any IDEAS?? I sell heirloom vegetable and herb seeds http://www.backyardheirloomseeds.net and I have GUILT growing a hybrid. lol
Thanks for the post. I think I will go back and start looking again.

[...] Yep, Alaskan blueberries have big-time potential. I don't know anyone who successfully farms them however. Someone will someday I'm sure. For that matter, if you just bought a good blueberry blog you would be off and running. Alaskan blueberries have more than 5 times as many anti-oxidants as Oregon blueberries… Alaska blueberries: brain food — Far North Science [...]

It is true that Alaska blueberries are great, may be one of nature’s miracle foods, chock full of powerful nutrients that feed the brain and protect the nervous system from old-age breakdown. I also want to add here that Alaska has many similar berries that are poisonous. Leaf identification helps very much so. You'll also want to avoid all white berries as every white berry in Alaska is poisonous. San Diego Scanning

NoobsRus – Finally a sane, cogent statement. What is with those Alaska-centric xenophobes?
I don’t view Chris M. as a hero. I see his story as an adventure, one that he may not have been fully prepared to undertake. It would seem to me that he was breaking away from a conventional life that left him unsatisfied.
It seems to me that Chris isn’t really your issue, but the “hollywoodization” of his story. Maybe your real issue is with Sean Penn. But who really cares what your issues happen to be?
The fact remains that, to many, Alaska is a final frontier, a place that isn’t all concrete, fancy cars, plastic surgery and club scenes.
He was obviously trying to get back to a place that was less complicated. What gets me is why a group of people would try to negate a young man’s existence. You are just an Alaskan version of the Enquirer – gossip mongering and basically only fit for bird cage lining.
