I think none of his heroes went looking for death, or even placed themselevs in predicaments close to death. Afterall, Thoreau may have loved the wild, but he also worked for the government, being a land surveyer marking out lots of land the US intendended to sell. I do not kno w the background of Haines or London, but I would assume that all three of these being's view of nature were taken as a secondary position. It was important for them to live and be apart of the wild, but their need did not drive to want to become trapped in a desert or rock climb a death mountain. For them, they knew nature was right in their back yards
