Hector,
The obvious answer is - John Muir didn't die doing what Chriss did <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />. John Muir knew what he was doing, and chris was another unequipped ill-prepared kid from the big city who ignored all local advice and died in the bush because he lacked the skills and knowledge required. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I wonder how many people are romanticising his way of life. He died... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

And the book sucked too.
