Does this "stand on your own" thing include not reading survivalist books, bringing maps or assorted tools? Because that's what I would do if I wanted to live in the wilds. The "he was literally suicidal" theory is a much better explanation for his actions IMO.
He did read survivalist books, there was a book about identifying edible plants he had with him when he died. He even hired a botany/foraging tutor I believe. Ultimately though it's kinda the same thing, if he was suicidal, it would have been because of the abuse, most likely. Personally, I don't think it holds much water, suicidal people don't typically go off and live in the wilderness to starve to death, they usually kill themselves a bit more directly, whereas "mediocre rich white boy vastly overestimates his own wilderness survival abilities and is horribly unprepared for the reality of living off the land" is highly credible
And the final note vibes with that. Why kill yourself slowly if you want to die? And why change your mind at the last minute?
