Getting lost in the middle of the fucking hottest desert in the world with your family?
WITH NO WATER????
They literally took random unmarked and unmaintained dirt roads until they got stuck 50+ miles from the nearest living person in an extreme remote portion of the park
For reference this would be like Americans visiting Russia in the arctic circle and renting a snowmobile and driving north with no parka or food or tent until they run out of gas
Europeans live such sheltered lives that they are like children. They let in millions of Muslims with no thought to the negative consequences. Europeans are stupid enough to try to drive a minivan into one of the harshest places on the continent.

they probably underestimated the size of the desert because it looked small on the map.
Europeans complain that american tourists will carry a bag with them and have water bottles in a city.
The idea of planning ahead and self reliance is foreign to them. Just walk out the door and do whatever, someone will save you if things go bad.
When I visited the grand canyon, they prominently placed a poster of a well prepared, physically fit looking man and the caption "most people who doe here look like this" everywhere. Our parks are brutal!
That said, most americans aren't going to take a minivan down a super rough dirt road (and not turn the fuck around) without having a good reason AND proper supplies.
Wouldn't have dehydrated I'd they hard planned ahead. Sounds like they planned for a picnic in...death valley.
If you look towards the end, it appears they saw military on the map and just assumed it was a bunch of soldiers sitting around in a base. They couldn't imagine that a military installation could just be a lot of empty land.

Yeah I almost died in Death Valley. It's no joke.

Europeans have no idea of how big America really is. I'm always finding them unprepared or lost on 395 after riding their rented bikes in the middle of the desert, or saying stupid shit like "I'm going to drive to Colorado this weekend to go see the snow." While on a Friday afternoon in Napa Valley.

McCandless wasn't insane, he was just a typical disillusioned Gen-X loser. Also, Alaska is a magnet for weirdos.

>Americans die due to lack of preparation or accidents this was for all intents and purposes a suicide mission
Suicide by being a retard. Driving in death valley, with no water, in the middle of summer. If I'm going to be driving anywhere near the desert I always bring two gallons of water and a couple bottles.

They can not grasp the massive empty space and what real wilderness means. We dont have that anymore in Europe. Its small, its overpopulated, its tamed. They cant comprehend that there are areas on the world were you not stumble every 3 minutes over another human being.
This is the issue. They have no concept of the very low population density. There was no one out there to help them - in Europe there would have been. It’s just a matter of ignorance

Nah reptilians ate them. Reptilians got all kinds of tunnels connected to deserts and secret space program bases underground, there are like 5 secret space program bases in death valley.

I just stay out of it. Very dangerous place, even on the main roads.

They also went there in July, the hottest month of the year.
'The official highest recorded temperature is now 56.7°C (134°F), which was measured on 10 July 1913 at Greenland Ranch, Death Valley, California, USA.'
