Note: For anyone who is disappointed I didn't visit the real Magic Bus that Chris lived in, see this video of Chris' sister, Carinne McCandless, who hiked out to the original bus with a group of people: ua-cam.com/video/jMN52iJV3qY/v-deo.html Pretty cool video. I would love to hike out to the bus another time when I'm more prepared for it. This time I was in Alaska to work for the summer season and didn't have enough free time, the proper gear, etc.
this is a great video to show the bus that was used in the movie and the surrounding area.. looks like a great place to explore..

Gabriel, you must hear me...I loved this video!....I learned a lot from it and was not disappointed. You're seem like a good person and that matters more than hiking to Chris's bus!!!
@@GabrielTravelerVideos No worries! Completely understand you were not able to cross the river. When you filmed this video you mentioned a woman died trying to cross that river. Sadly, another woman just died trying to cross that river.
sad part was how stupid he was to even think he could survive out there. seasoned alaskans know better. and we have the skills to actually do it..but we still wouldnt.
This was great, I got to relive some old times. I myself was working in the Denali National Park in the summer of 2006 at the Kantishna Roadhouse. After a couple weeks myself, and a co-worker were going to go to Healy for our two days off, we got to fly with Kantishna Air for free to the park's entrance, this was a perk for working at the Roadhouse. We were flying by Mt Denali when the pilot asked if we wanted to see McCandless's bus? I, nor my friend, knew what he was talking about...the pilot then filled me in on the Into The Wild Story...I was enthralled at this amazing story...the pilot told me about the book Jon Krakauer had written. When we returned to work a couple days later I ventured into the main building to say hi to some other workers there and noticed the white dry eraser board that was used to announce events and guest speakers at the Lodge, had the name Jon Krakauer on it...he was to be a guest the next night. I of course had to hear the story from him, since I had yet read the book. Jon was very good, as an author, and a speaker...and I got a copy of his book, and read it that night. Now, the weird part to this story...About two weeks from then I was finishing up plating up that nights dinner (I am a chef) and was running around crazy like when all of a sudden a co-worker called my name and said someone there wanted to thank me personally for dinner, without looking up, I asked for one minute. I came around from the kitchen and lo and behold was Sean Penn and (who I later learned was) Emile Hirsh. I was in awe...being the same age as Sean, and a huge fan all the way back to Bad Boys...I went in for, and received the "hug"...I asked him what he was doing there, and he told me they drove in for the day on the infamous 92 mile Denali Highway (The only way in and out of the park)...he said he was doing a movie, directing he said...I asked for the name and he blew me away by saying "Into The Wild". Again, I have been there only a few weeks, and had never heard of this McCandless, or the bus, nothing...now within the month, I've been educated on all fronts!!! It was and has been very fascinating for me...I could not wait for the movie...after seeing it I know felt educated and filled with completion on this adventure...I was very honored in reading the book, and very honored by watching the great movie. A couple years later I returned to work at the park entrance to Head Chef the Denali River Cabins...One weekend me an a girl that worked there ventured into Healy for a couple beers, this is when we discovered The 49th State Brewery, we pulled in and I immediately saw bus #142 sitting there in all her glory, I spent a couple hours just hovering around, in and on the bus...recreating photo opportunities that were seen in the movie, my favorite was the one from the ending when the camera is outside the back of the bus window looking in and down on Chris has he lays on the bed in his sleeping bag and starts panning out and up...I laid on the bed and had my friend take a picture through that back window from outside the bus. Thank you Gabriel for reminding me of those great memories. I myself would love to make that journey to the actual bus...and although I have seen it from the air less than a hundred feet above it...I would love to see the real one...I think, no, I believe that would be the final leg in this amazing Into The Wild story I've had the pleasure of recreating, and living with. Again, thanks
Hey He lived the way he wanted too and gave it his all Free into the Wild, No one can ever take that away from him ,He left the civilized world met a lot of cool people on the way ,He took every breath god gave him for what its worth ,And Eddie Vedder killed it on the sound track... Great story Great movie .... God bless
What a life , it's so cool how he effected the people who he met and worked with across his journey . One of a kind ! I wish we all had the courage to step out and follow our dreams .
That's subjective. I'd happily starve to death knowing I achieved something i'm passionate about rather than live a long life achieving the standards of society and dying with regret.
I have seen uncountable movies but this is the only movy which will always remain in my mind..I can't get chris out of my mind..m obsessed by his life..salute to the bravo creature..RIP
An amazing story of happiness and sadness most people now are trapped but don't realise it at least he was free something at lot of us will never experience thanks for taken us along with your adventures cheers
Thank you Gabriel for showing a different way to traveling!! Traveling is not for just luxuries, Traveling is what you explore and satisfied yourself with the beautiful sights of the beautiful world! ☺️
Thank you for this, amazing work. I have watched the movie, vids, and read the books. I wish they had not removed the actual bus that was his home. I realize people were needing rescue and even were injured or died to visit. Like Chris, for whatever their reason (as each has their own path to follow) they felt a need to go there. It was their choice. Chris McCandless inspires many people, rip beautiful soul ~
Chris McCandless is my inspiration and that last quote "I've had a happy life and thank the lord"...man, what a line. When I read the book for the first time, I really became very emotional and it was very hard hitting story. Thank you very much Gabe for filming this.
I can relate to chris. I myself have taken off and spent up to 2 months at a time in the Sierra Nevada mountains alone with almost no gear. There is something healing about relying on only yourself. The difference I think is I know my limits. It's easy to think you are prepared for a situation like the one Chris found himself in but reality can quickly make you realize just how much you don't know. I guess that is part of what makes living off the land so beautiful and healing. Nature and the elements are one of our greatest teachers. RIP Chris.
In the light of recent events of the magic bus. I came across your pilgrimage video and must now admit that you're truly the greatest travelvlogger among backpackers.
Having watch this a second time ..it's definitely the best video you've ever posted ...and I can only sense it was a very emotional day for yourself ..thank you for sharing .. Chris was one hell of a guy who has inspired so many to travel and feel free for the first time in their life's and your doing the same work ..and we love you both for this ..
Gabriel, I am from Pakistan. And your videos inspire me so much to travel like you do. You are hands down the best UA-cam Traveler i have seen. Simple yet informative. Thank you.
WoW...thank-you Gab...an excellent documentary! Very surreal...and the synchronicity places all of us within a closer degree of separation.I won't forget this video...🕊💗🌸🚌🐻🏔
That was great. It felt like I was right there with you. Honestly, I think the fake bus and Healy was probably as interesting as the real thing in the middle of nowhere. I was wondering what Healy looked like.
It sounds like your son passed away, I’m so sorry to hear that. It sounds like you cared for him a lot and were probably a great parent for him. Each has his or her own path, but it’s nice to have supportive family along the way.
Such a powerful video, Gabe. Anyone who is a seeker and a wanderer knew Chris, though they may have never met him. It could've been me and yet it still may. The best way to pay homage is to carry the torch onward and illuminate the path for others.
3:50 This guy is so cool... he listen to his instinct, and from Balkans he just decide to takes 20 hour flight to Alaska... I am glade that you have found your passion in traveling and that you are doing what you love and are born to do. I have subscribed..
Such a sad ending for a young man who was in the middle of figuring out himself and his purpose in life. Thinking back at that age I can tottally relate.
I was in Denali once as a rookie climber, rookie because I went alone and I had NO clue of what alaskan Glaciers were, somehow I made it to camp 2 and mercifully got back in one piece, tiding parts with other climbers, before that I actually fell in a crevasse and got out, when I reached base camp I Knew God had spared me and I wept a long time, after that I went to Seattle to take a 6 day course on proper techniques for glacier crossings. When I saw the movie of course I cried again, I was in Denali in JUNE 1992, the same time Chris was some miles away on his one way Journey. The movie, the music, his story is part of my philopsophy, my teachings.
I first saw the movie about Chris when I was younger. I found it very interesting. As I got into highschool my English class read this book and ever since I've been so intrigued by his adventure. It almost makes me want to hike out to the bus and see it for myself and pay respect. I'm not a hiker but I do enjoy the outdoors so maybe one day I can visit the bus.
That movie changed my life and the way I live!! Chris McCandless was one of very few people who have the courage to leave society, their family, a comfortable life and follow his truth. We can all learn so much from him!! Gabriel, you seem like a very intense man! Cheers, From Country Victoria, Australia. ✌️
I've always been so touched and haunted by Chris' story. I remember the first time I saw the movie, I immediately watched it 2 more times in a row without a break. Thanks for sharing this with us- your choice in music was quite poignant.
I watched a documentary on him before they made the movie. Sad story. I once walked/ hitch hiked about 30 miles. The scant food I brought was gone in the first day. I had very little money and no place to sleep in the city from my home town. I was lying in a ravine near a truck stop contemplating my life decision and concluded it was time to throw in the towel. It was then I realized just how difficult if not impossible it is to walk/hitch hike as a means of travel. I walked almost 9 miles of my journey in the summer heat. Getting to my point now. Christopher made extremely poor judgement in doing what he did. But I totally understand what drove him to do it. It was the same thing that drove me to walk and hitch hike 30 miles. Ultimately his poor judgement cost him his life but frankly he got an extraordinary adventure out of it and I would not for one minute say he wasted his life. I hope wherever he is he endures no more suffering. His story was incredible.
Awesome area & depiction of it! Would love to backpack to the real bus one day. Chris was an inspiration for wilderness lovers & a hero of enjoying the freedom within it!
Chris was completely unprepared... He brought only a bag of rice with him into the wild. The movie was pretty good...the book shows how ignorant he was of what it really takes to survive in the wilderness. ✌ 👣 👑 👑
I saw the movie today (2.1.21), I never knew that was a true story , the end really made me cry and made me think about those people he promised and left back . That's really sad 😢
@Gabriel Traveler: I'm not sure, if you'll get time to read this comment, but I would like to thank you for making this video (about the movie). This has indeed been one of my favorite movies of all time, and also very emotional now, as I write this comment. Sumit, from Mumbai in India
Great video, Gabriel. Into the Wild is one of my Top Ten films and the soundtrack is impeccable. Chris' birthday is exactly the same as my best friend: February 11, 1968. He would've been 49 this year. There was a fantastic documentary that was aired in 2014, I think it was, on PBS giving more info about his family life and showed more of Chris' motivations in leaving and wandering. Such a sad but powerful tale. Thanks for revisiting his story. 👍🏼✌🏼
Nice, crisp video quality. Thanks for going over the journey of Chris McCandless in Alaska and relating where you were at the time. If not for just a thin sliver of time, you may have run into each other and then who knows.
It makes me so sad to see everyone talking about the movie but not the book. 😔 Don’t get me wrong, the movie was great! But the book is far superior in my opinion 😁
HI Gabriel traveler, I typed in Christopher Johnson McCandless and this video came up, glad I did, I really like your videos. lots of fun watching travel shows: Rick Steve's Europe, Globe Trekker, travel channel, and Californias Gold etc. I always wanted to see the world as an adult. maybe someday I can.
Brilliant clip ...and as its one of my all-time favourite films and one that has had a massive impact on my life ..I'd love to visit this place sometime 😁
Note: For anyone who is disappointed I didn't visit the real Magic Bus that Chris lived in, see this video of Chris' sister, Carinne McCandless, who hiked out to the original bus with a group of people: ua-cam.com/video/jMN52iJV3qY/v-deo.html Pretty cool video.

@@barchetta575m Yeah I read the news, really tragic.
@@barchetta575m,, with people dying like that,, seems like the state might erect a 2-way zip line or impromptu rope bridge at that point.
Such a sad story. The movie, into the wild, is great and has the best soundtrack i have heard
sad part was how stupid he was to even think he could survive out there. seasoned alaskans know better. and we have the skills to actually do it..but we still wouldnt.
Lior Tepper Why is it sad? I haven't seen the film. Is it a true story?
its a true story and its sad because he was a naive good guy that died because of a stupid mistake
Lior Tepper Yup I read up on him. Sad yes but also inspiring for people who're sick of modern life. And to think he kept a journal of it all.
A good story is not good enough reason to die
This was great, I got to relive some old times. I myself was working in the Denali National Park in the summer of 2006 at the Kantishna Roadhouse.

Thank you as well my friend!

It is a great movie. It's a sad story. Chris lived a life he wanted 😔
If you like the movie you should read the book! One of the best books I’ve ever read! Truly inspiring!
Yeah I read the book too, definitely a good one.
Jon Krakauer knows how to ride a dynamic book. Check out his book on climbing Mt Everest too.
Respect from Ireland 🇮🇪 👏
Beautiful Video Gabriel, thanks so much from Germany ! Chris is a true hero who hopefully will never be forgotten
"into the wild" this movie changed my perception of life !
A really sad story but the movie is my favorite. Best of the best. I’m crying endless when watching this story again and again.
It doesn't matter how long you live but only matters how you lived. Surely this guy lived a life that worth it.
Aditya Jois
I don't think some people literally want to die
Aditya Jois I doubt he was thinking that after starvation started to set in
you probably missed the part where he died.
That's subjective. I'd happily starve to death knowing I achieved something i'm passionate about rather than live a long life achieving the standards of society and dying with regret.
Then you've never been hungry. Really really hungry. Talk is cheap.
The music set the mood perfectly
The Travelling Janitor Eddie Vedders artistry on the soundtrack makes the movie what it is and in my belief is better than the movie itself!
I have seen uncountable movies but this is the only movy which will always remain in my mind..I can't get chris out of my mind..m obsessed by his life..salute to the bravo creature..RIP
I love this movie ❤️❤️❤️ real story
Happiness real only when shared
This was by far the most insightful and fascinating video. I hope to go visit it soon. Thank you!

care to elaborate or just post negativity on everybody's comment like a jackass?

I really loved that film when I watched it man, stuck with me forever
Great video, very well done. Very interesting associating your own story with his.
Great, thanks Tom.
The way the video started was excellent! The music the camera work the clarity of the picture 👌 Very interesting story. I gotta watch Into The Wild.
Its a very sad story, Chris was fearless , too fearless for his own good !

love this. So interesting!! Glad you are doing well in Alaska man! Can't wait to see more !!

It makes me so sad to see everyone talking about the movie but not the book. 😔 Don’t get me wrong, the movie was great! But the book is far superior in my opinion 😁
I agree.
Love your videos
Again gabriel rocks, sad story told in a great way
We'll made Video Gabriel. I have heard of this movie but never saw it. Definitely will check it out now, thank you!
Great video! The story Is inspiring. Fantastic book and movie.

Great video tour video :) The Sarah Palin’s House direction part cracked me up lmfao

After seeing the movie and reading a few very detailed articles, I'm glad you decided against it. Happy travels Gab!

Thanks Gabriel, great video, sad ending for someone who just wanted to be free.
HI Gabriel traveler, I typed in Christopher Johnson McCandless and this video came up, glad I did, I really like your videos. lots of fun watching travel shows: Rick Steve's Europe, Globe Trekker, travel channel, and Californias Gold etc. I always wanted to see the world as an adult. maybe someday I can.
Cool, thanks for checking out the videos.
Brilliant clip ...and as its one of my all-time favourite films and one that has had a massive impact on my life ..I'd love to visit this place sometime 😁
From what I understand ,from the last place you can park your car it's approximately 18.5 miles to where the Magic Bus 142 was before it was removed .
That sounds about right. Two days of hiking and two rivers to cross.
thanks for video !!! i loved
Cool.
Great film , and wow what a story verry captivating tank you
