I remember being angry at the kid in the end for being so naive. Not bringing a map was nut. Less than a mile away from where he died was a way to get out and he never even knew about it.

It was naive to the extreme, schoolboy error not doing a search of the area or going into that sort of environment with no experience or knowledge, he struck me as a bit of a dreamer, he was obviously academically smart but it was a suicidal way to go about things. The plan was to live there for two years and he didn't even have any sort of idea of how many calories he would need per day and where that would come from. It's a sad story, I admire his courage though.

It's actually surprising he lasted as long as he did being so unprepared imo.
