On April 28, 1992, Chris McCandless (aka Alex Supertramp) set out for a venture of a lifetime. Chris recently graduated from university with a double major, and decided to take some time to travel and explore the great outdoors, which ultimately led him to Alaska, USA. Chris happened upon bus #142, an old abandoned transit line, that suited his needs for a few months in the Denali National Park. However, season changes and watershed held him hostage, which ultimately led to his demise. Tune in with Deb and Shelbey as we discuss one of the most infamous cases of outdoor survival in the Alaskan wilderness.
