I was chatting w/ some friends recently who were up to Alaska last year... they were apparently hiking along the same river that the main character in this movie died near. Apparently locals aren't a big fan of him, and even make jokes at his expense... they say that there was a radio tower or station not 1/2 mile from where his bus was, and refer to him as just being an unprepared hippy who should have known better.
Haven't done any research to see if this is true, but makes you think anyways.
