This song obviously refers to John Krakauer's "Into The Wild" or perhaps simply to Chris McCandless (the character whose journey this book is based on.)

McCandless rejected materialism and his somewhat plush lifestyle for a journey through the West. He hitchhiked to Alaska where he died of starvation.
