- This video was made to show how an iconic piece can be born from a story.
we went to Alaska to explore the significance of "The magic Bus" and how it tied to the "Into the wild" Book and Movie.
I want to give special thanks to everyone that made this video possible.
Della, thank you for your knowledge and passion regarding this project, this project allowed me to graduate amd it was in great part thanks to you.

She doesn't get it....she's the worst case scenario when it comes to understanding what this bus means to a whole culture of people
They should keep the bus in original condition.. to feel how "chris" lived inside, but they changed it
so they decided to ruin the bus in the name of conservation?
What a bunch of idiots they really are..
When you do those changes, you ruin the history of it..
Downright foolish..
That's our world today😢
Chris marched to the beat of his own drum. His story is heartbreaking, but very inspiring.
It got him arrested multiple times. He didn't always stay the night in the bus. Sometimes it was in a cell.
Chris would call these kind of people as " Plastic people "
And most people would call Chris a Selfish Idiot
I call them pod people but plastic makes sense as well
Why? They're actually intelligent people. It's not Chris' fault for the deaths that followed, but he was selfish and foolish. No parent should bury their child. If he wanted to leave civilisation behind, then at least do the research, learn, train and prepare himself. His death was his own doing, which led to other foolish people dying for nothing. What did it prove? Just young lives wasted over mindless fantasy. Call me "plastic" or anything you like. I continue to live well and enjoy the wild and adventure without being stupid
Do not remove the memory of Chris. That is why there is interest in the bus.

I visited Fairbanks in September of 2023 and tracked down the Magic Bus in the same spot you did. I have mixed feelings about what they're doing. By removing the bus and moving it to the Museum of the North, it makes it more accessible to the general public, without risking your life on the Stampede Trail. This was definitely on my bucket list of things to see in Alaska and I'm glad I saw it at the engineering building. I think they should just restore it to the point of making it safe...but, keep the patina of the bus.
I agree with you, I was surprised to see what people from Alaska thought about Chris, was expecting everyone to find him enlightening but I understand that moving it keeps people safe.
@@johanfullard9438Yeah, that caught me by surprise, their attitude about him being reckless and unprepared. Okay, I get it...I guess. But, that's what adventurers do. Not everyone goes by REI and stocks up on the latest camping and survival gear.
Imagine something that was free to see and now trying to make a profit from it. Chris would HATE what you all are doing with the bus. @@johanfullard9438
@@geraldeklund2245 But that isn't the criticism of what Chris McCandless did. It wasn't that Chris McCandless didn't have the latest survival gear, but that Chris was very under prepared.
I think I understand why the people of Alaska did not like what Chris McCandless did. What if I went to where you lived and I spent a few months there and then starved to death because I didn't spend enough time learning where the restaurants and grocery stores are. The wild is not just some place far away, but everywhere that we humans go.
@@johanfullard9438 Dude was a nuisance
I have been fascinated by this story since I first heard of it, although I'm not even sure why. LIke others, I have mixed feelings about it.
so sad. That bus should still be out there

There are some of us woman that also search for that "Right of passage."
Like the second interviewee in the knit cap, I also have mixed feelings about the whole McCandless story. On one hand, he was unbelievably foolish for going out there woefully unprepared like he did. He was a very troubled guy. On the other hand, Chris pursued his goal... fearlessly, to the extreme. He had adventures most only imagine, I guess.
I just keep going back to the thought that he was so fatally misguided in terms of how he handled so many parts of his trek... most of all, the last part of it. Being prepared, asking questions of those with more knowledge and experience, keeps you safe. It helps you to be wiser, and to gain important skills. Pushing your limits doesn't help if you cannot survive it. Chris should have been able to be here to tell his own story. Fascinating... but needlessly tragic.
Your thoughts are beautiful and I totally agree with you, I can see both sides of the coin, from a devastated family and inspired people, to locals that just think it was irresponsible, that is exactly why I wanted to find out myself what were the local thoughts.
Thank you so much for taking the time of watching the entire story!
I really don't know that she's the right person for this job. She doesn't connect to Chris's story. She has no idea why he started his journey. Ugh. I would rather see the bus left untouched and in a museum or something where it could be preserved and not restored or whatever they are doing to it. I might have missed what they are doing to it but I don't like that it's stripped down like a start of a restoration.
She clearly said said she wasn’t restoring it, and putting it behind the museum.I don’t agree with it either but it’s in a much safer place
They should’ve left it right where it was, in the wild.
@@kyle896 so more people can die trying to find it🤔
@@Obizzil. so let’s just tear down any landmark in the world if it’s deemed dangerous to get to…gotcha
@@kyle896 i never said that, i was just saying it was in a safer place.
Sounds like she is restoring a bus and not the legacy of Chris. 😢
a spirit portal in the bus
They should’ve left the bus there. People will still make the journey just there won’t be a bus anymore. Everything the government touches everything!!Goes to hell!! They need to go and put a plaque there.

I'm not trying to blame anybody for the situation of what happened.But there should have been a map in that bus I know why would people put things in weird places, but they do.And I never understood why there wasn't a map to that area in that bus.There's cabins all over alaska for people that get lost in the wilderness to go to... And who knows?Maybe there was?I don't know...
Chris was a Hippie in the modern era.
Who was it that bailed him out every time he was arrested?
Disgusting, they should of left it alone. But this is the world we live in. This is what Chris was trying to get away from 😢
I think they should have left it be, although Chris would have probably been just as disgusted with the ghoulish humans who trekked out to the bus, just to see where he died.
They did this all for Profit. So stupid.
By stealing from people?
ruclips.net/video/8Z9wB_NHcoc/видео.html
People died trying to "re-trace" this moron's journey. They removed the bus to prevent further people from dying and spending money rescuing stranded idiots.
There's nothing special about Chris McCandless - He's not the only idyllic person trying to get away from society - he's just the only one that someone wrote a book about and had a wealthy white family that people paid attention to in the media.
Someone should do a revive and drive on that old bus👍🏻
Magic Bus? is more like the Death Bus
The bus should have stayed where it was. This is absurd.😢
Preserve the Bus in its natural state! Do not restore it - All the History will be lost!
I’m English yet barely understand what she’s saying. It’s like she’s speaking through her nose and giving various tones to a language which isn’t tonal. Thanks for the film tho.
And she kept hitting the microphone.
pourquoi ne pas le laisser sur place !
il ne représente plus rien dernier vos vitre blindé tout se qui chris avait fuis....
Totally ruined a grave site rather then making a nice hiking adventure with purpose
They ruined it.....gone now forever
This bus shouldn't be something to remember. The movie nor the book explain how many times he was arrested for robbing and stealing from people during his little head trip.
Where is the bus now
Museum of the north, fairbanks alaska.
Me know chis he was my cousin my name is Sally hodgdon ellsworth maine bare drive the bus is my bus me just no chis long ago when he died
If it your bus. Take the bus back.
@@helium5912 you name
Its not meant to be here its meant to be in into the wild ....this is what chris was escaping from so 😢 sad they take the bus for profit and attention...
The exhibition is open to the public at no cost.
This where he hid. He never did anything he said he was going to do.
What happened to its content?
Some went to Chris's family and some to the museum! Bed and Fire place can be seen in the video.
Unfortunately there are idiots in this world that can not see the full picture because they live in a false plastic world! Exactly what Chris was trying to get away from, the woman says she hasn't read the graffiti but she has photographed it ! That says it all she cant see the woods because the trees get in the way!
My God she has no Idea of the energy this bus has in its meaning to people that can relate to Alexander Supertramp and his goals in life and the life that we want to avoid, (the materialistic 9-5 life of lets be comfortable waiting to die) instead of living life one day at a time.
The Bus is a strong statement of what can happen to you if you DON'T know what you are doing, we all know Chris wasn't prepared for the true wild, but the bus tells us of Chris's dream of a peaceful free life.
In the end he didn't die because of the bus and the wild he died because he was a result of modern serciety, plenty of people servive and thrive in Alaska sadly Chris was a modern city boy in the end, and thats what killed him!
so sad and disappointed of what they did to the bus, i think is criminal to delete real untouched history done by a man just because some privileged lazy people want to have an easy access to it instead of earning it.
If you pay attention, Della explains that the reason they had to move it was because inexperienced people were looking for the bus and getting hurt or dying getting there. Not privileged people.
Sad that Chris, ruined the history of this cool bus. I would display the bus without mention of that guy at all.
You are a horrible person to say this!
pseudo-intellectual- uhm, uhm, uhm, uhm
Nasal uhm sounds make her sound so smart.
These people including his sister are exactly why he left society. All they want is to make money off of His story. He would be rolling in his grave to know that his family member and strangers are making money from his life and eventual death. The very things he was against, they have embraced. And, all in the name of “helping someone else”
I think they have missed the whole point of what he stood for.
Yep💯 Exactly.!!!
a simple vin and or parts numbers checks could trace if it was or was not built for the Military, pretty sure you could trace the military records and the public works records. Thats like first step in historical things is research... seem like this is more of a curator working on a pop art project.
That's what I was thinking. That should have been the first thing they did, was trace the vin.
She said herself she couldn't connect with Chris' story, so I'm guessing she's just in it for the popular engineering project/degree.
There were no VINs in 1946. They didn't begin until 1954. There were only serial numbers and they weren't well documented.
Crying shame ,that bus should have stayed where its been all these years.... All I hear is bullshit coming out of her mouth...
Do you remove Mount Everest? Because people die climbing it. This is absolutely stupid
The state removed the bus and want donations
Sacrilege. They destroyed a place of pilgrimage.
ROBARON LA CASA DE SUPERTRAMP DE LA TIERRA SALVAJE Y SU LMA VOLVIO ALA CIVILIZACION AHORA ENTIENDEN POR QUE LA ODIABA ?????
MOVING IT IS DISGRACEFUL AND CRIMINAL. Nothing more needs to be said
I’m repulsed and appalled

Della. You HAVE NO IDEA what you are talking about. I bet you havent even read the book huh?
She has, matter of fact she even knows Carine.
They dishonored chris by taking the bus away. Real fans and hikers would of hiked to that bus now no one wants to hike to that spot anymore. All because two people died which people die at Yosemite national park every year should we take the park away no because they make money off it.
Disgraceful.
This is such BS. Should have left it alone. And does this person even KNOW Chris????

That's not an eco-friendly car, do your research on how the batteries are made, lots of pollution in a battery powered car, EVs are just a temporary fix fad.
WTF 😂 are you talking about
@@kennethcapen3184 just like most you obviously wouldn't understand🤣
