I haven't seen the grizzly guy except in clips, bragging about how he's an expert. Stupidhead.
Candless was mentally ill. That's the inescapable conclusion about him. He was extremely bright but a few of the wires were crossed. His, to me, is a sad story. Sure, there's an easy lesson that if you go into any vast wilderness, you should be prepared or you could die. But the harder thing to accept is that he was just a young kid who was not well and could have been saved a life of pain with professional care and the right psychopharmaceuticals.
