He deserved to die…

The OP might have been a bit too blunt for some people, but seriously, that guy died because he was an idiot. He could have spent some time doing a bit of research before going. Even just the basics, like studying maps of the area, weather patterns for that time of year, equipment and provisions he would need, etc. He could have gone to a local store that catered to campers, hikers, etc, and learned all of that in the span of an hour. One single hour spent talking to people who know what they're talking about. Instead, he acted like a complete moron, and look how well that worked out for him. People go on endlessly about the book and this movie, and talk about how free-spirited he was. He didn't care about material wealth? Who cares? There are untold millions who feel the same way. Many of them can be found volunteering time and money to charitable causes they care about.
This isn't an inspiring tale of one man's journey through life. It's the story of an idiot who DIED as a result of his own stupidity and ego. At the end of the day, it's the story of one person committing a long, drawn-out, and painful act of suicide. I don't care about his grades in school, he died by his own hand, all because he lacked even a shred of common sense.

That's a very interesting insight. I never considered the fact that the bus, a little piece of civilization, may have lulled him into a false sense of security.
