"Personally, I have always wanted to do something LIKE McCandless did. Definitely not the same thing, but I have wanted to take off by myself for a month or so and just live somewhere harsh by myself. I have always been the kind of person who doesn't really need to be in the company of others to stay sane, and a trip or quest like that really appeals to me. I wouldn't be tossing my money to charity or leaving my car in the desert, but getting away from the things of man has always been in the back of my mind. I think the movie holds a lot of appeal for people like me who can see themselves in that role somewhat. People who hate the movie might not see that deep into the character, and the negative stuff stands out because there is no relation. I liked it, but I definitely understand and respect the other opinions."

Dude you should hike the Pacific Crest Trail. that takes about 6 months though. And if you really mean what you say about liking solitude (very few people do), try the Continental Divide Trail.
