The adventures he goes on to get to Alaska are an ideal example of gypsy lifestyle that I would love to be a part of, to just let go of everything. The irony is that before he died, he had a moment of revelation in which he decided he needed to return to his family and loved ones, but it was too late. Kindof a tragic situation, but then, what death isn't tragic? His adventure was amazing, and is something I would enjoy experiencing before I died.
Also if Eddie Vedder could do the soundtrack to my life, that would be great.
