The cult-like mystique of Bus 142 and the story of Chris McCandless is a magnet for millions around the world. In the heart of the mysterious Alaskan wilderness, where nature's beauty and brutality coexist, there once stood a relic, an accidental shrine—a dilapidated bus that had become a symbol of adventure, solitude, and ultimately tragedy. Bus 142, the infamous 'Magic Bus.' where the intrepid seeker of wisdom and inner peace Christopher McCandless spent 113 days in 1992 before succumbing to starvation, has become a beacon for pilgrims seeking inner wisdom and greater meaning in life.

Ultimately, the Alaskan National Guard removed the bus in 2020 to stop the people from coming. But, still, they keep coming!

Since the story was immortalized by Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air, there were no less than 15 rescues of people trying to find the bus and two unfortunate deaths.

In this video* we details the CULT-LIKE mystique of Bus 142 - the Magic Bus - and Chris McCandless' life and draw parallels to our own lives.
