He was a city kid and he made some mistakes in his planning. I think that he was very intelligent and certainly strong-willed but he lacked experience. I do not feel that it makes him any less an interesting person both in what he said and what he did.
SPOILER AHEAD (Highlight To Read):
I found Into The Wild to be a very powerful movie for me. Chris's realization after 100 days in the wild, "Happiness only when shared", really stuck with me and I thought that was a very important moment... even the most solitary of loners like Chris eventually found that he was simply not happy without others to share in his happiness.
