The first five chapters of into the wild profiles some of the scenarios that Chris ran into during his trek. The story line then jumps back a bit to just before Chris made his departure from Annandale. Establishing that he doesn't have the best relationship with his parents, and that hes looking to escape and do things the way that he wants to. McCandless strikes me as a gun-ho, strapping young lad kind of guy. The first five chapters left me with the impression that Chris is street and book smart. He seems strong and confident ( not cocky) and knows which way is up.
Material possessions don't seem to faze him much, he doesn't need money, or most things that fallow with cash.
In my opinion, he has the making of a Nobel idealist, as apposed to being reckless idiot.
