Group F response
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

i totally agree that, none of his hero's went looking for death or danger for even that matter. what i am confused about is how you came up with the conclusion that they all loved the wild so much that they had to have it in their lives?? maybe it was just a hobby like something that they really liked to do but could only every now and then. i think that if it was so important in their lives, and that they needed to have it then they would have spent their lives being a park ranger or something like that.
