Why the 'Into the Wild' Bus Was Moved and What Comes Next

The Outside Show's Zoë Rom interviews Carine McCandless, the sister of Chris McCandless, about the famous bus where her brother lived after he left civilization for the Alaskan wilderness. McCandless' story was immortalized in Jon Krakauer's 1996 book "Into the Wild," which was turned into a major motion picture by director Sean Penn in 2007, and he's become an inspiration for many who relate to his passion for a life unencumbered by societal norms and his pursuit of freedom. The bus, now an exhibit at the University of Alaska's Museum of the North, is a complicated topic for Carine, who balances her own grief at the loss of her brother with her appreciation for way his memory lives on in everyone who remembers him.
