In english we started the book Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer. In this book the Jon retraces the steps of Chris McCandless, who abandoned everything he owned and set off into the woods of alaska to survive with almost nothing. He hitchhikes and walks from Atlanta all the way to Alaska where he journeyed onto the Stampede Trail with was covered by snow at the time. He set off with only ten pounds of rice, gun, ammo, and the clothes on his back. He was later found dead in an abandoned bus after he had survived almost 100 days with only the things he could fit in or on his backback.
