Near the time of his death, Chris McCandless took a picture of himself waving while holding a written note with these last words on it. The 24 year old hiker and adventurer, who went by the pseudonym Alexander Supertramp, died of starvation and his body was found by a hunter in an abandoned bus on the Stampede Trail Alaska. Inspired by the details of McCandless’s story a biography was published which was later adapted into a movie ‘Into the Wild.’
