This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Does this "stand on your own" thing include not reading survivalist books, bringing maps or assorted tools? Because that's what I would do if I wanted to live in the wilds. The "he was literally suicidal" theory is a much better explanation for his actions IMO.

He did read survivalist books, there was a book about identifying edible plants he had with him when he died. He even hired a botany/foraging tutor I believe. Ultimately though it's kinda the same thing, if he was suicidal, it would have been because of the abuse, most likely. Personally, I don't think it holds much water, suicidal people don't typically go off and live in the wildernees to starve to death, they usually kill themselves a bit more directly

And the final note vibes with that. Why kill yourself slowly if you want to die? And why change your mind at the last minute?
