I can honestly say that when it comes to ideals I would agree with Thoreau and that he has a different way in expressing nature experience. I have read parts of Walden before and I remember him saying “Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity," which I believe means experiencing nature that is already in front of you. Thoreau spent two years in that same Waldon pond to write about his ideals and everyday he seemed to find something new to write about. He experienced new things; notice new things happens every day. As I believe "Nature is everywhere you just have to look closer."
On the other hand McCandless's believe "The core of mans' spirit comes from new experiences," that there should always be a renewal on settings, there should always be changes around you to experience nature. This is where I believe that Thoreau's idea of experiencing nature differs from McCandless's ideals. It is not necessary for a man to travel in the most unfamiliar place to experience nature. Again nature is everywhere, and nature changes every day, therefore a new experience with nature happen.
