The Key to Unlocking What Killed Me

Chris McCandless' journal was cryptic, but it had the key that eventually allowed me to unlock what killed him. He kept a shorthand for the animals he saw and didn't kill; you could tell what he was eating. His photos of the seeds he gathered in mushrooms and the moose he killed were invaluable. The Alaskans who didn't know the difference between a moose and a caribou criticized him.
