How Is Chris Mccandless Crazy

I agree with the author, John Krakauer, in the notion that Chris McCandless was not crazy or an outcast because he was very likable to others and very determined in his fancies, but he did seem to be lacking common sense and was also unprepared for the wild.

If Chris happened to have just one map, he could’ve found a way out of that bus whether it was the left or right route. After all, Chris thought that he could survive with only a ten pound bag of rice and no
