Assignment 4: Chapter 1, Question 2

After reading this chapter, I believe that Chris McCandless recognized how unprepared he was for this journey because he accepted the boots and sandwiches from Gallien.  At first, Chris was being very persistent with his answers towards Gallien.  Gallien tried to persuade Chris from starting this journey and he also tried to scare Chris with bear stories.  Nevertheless, Chris McCandless could not be stopped!  From what I have read so far, I believe that Chris went into the woods wanting to take an approach similar to Thoreau in existing in total solidarity.  He does not seem like that type of kid that would try to set himself up for failure like this.
