Christopher McCandless was an American hiker and itinerant traveler, who also went by the name “Alexander Super tramp”. After graduating from college in 1990, McCandless traveled across the North American continent, and eventually hitchhiked to Alaska in April 1992.
There, he set out along an old mining road known as the Stampede Trail, with minimal supplies, hoping to live simply off the land. Almost four months later, McCandless’ decomposing body, weighing only 30 kilograms (66 lb), was found by hunters in a converted bus, Fairbanks Bus 142, used as a back country shelter along the Stampede Trail, on the eastern bank of the Sushana River.
