Alone in the wild

Ok starting of this entry with something amazing I watched earlier: Alone in the Wild.
Absolutely brilliant, among all the mind numbing shit reality TV shows comes this amazing heart warming, real programme about a man Ed Wardle trying to live of the land for 3 months in the wild with no aid, nothing, he is completely alone, well apart from the grizzly bears. It can't go unnoticed that this is clearly inspired by Chris McCandless trek into Alaska but I respect the man for taking on such a task, if you watch the programme you can see how much he actual struggles to live and the littlest things that pass us by are so incredibly important to him because his life is on the line. I guess I love it so much because I think it gives a real feeling of what McCandless when through up until his untimely death. Sometimes I wish I could be McCandles or Wardle and have the balls to just leave everything behind and go off into the hills of Alaska or where ever and just live, I mean really live, cause right now we are not living, we are just numb. Can I do what they have done?

Two years he walks the earth. No phone, no pool, no pets, no cigarettes. Ultimate freedom. An extremist. An aesthetic voyager whose home is the road. Escaped from Atlanta. Thou shalt not return, 'cause "the West is the best." And now after two rambling years comes the final and greatest adventure. The climactic battle to kill the false being within and victoriously conclude the spiritual pilgrimage. Ten days and nights of freight trains and hitchhiking bring him to the Great White North. No longer to be poisoned by civilization he flees, and walks alone upon the land to become lost in the wild. - Alexander Supertramp May 1992

More than anything I would love to but I don't have the balls to just get up and leave everything. Afterall even McCandless himself said "happiness is only real when shared" and that I totally believe but some days you just want to forget everything and be alone.
