* Arguably, Christopher McCandless, as documented in the biography (and film) ''IntoTheWild'' tried to pull this off in real life. He was a upper-class college graduate who gave away all of his money to charities, hitchhiked across America, then tried to live through the winter in a abandoned bus in the Alaskan wilderness. The subversion comes in when he was found dead the next spring, having accidentally poisoned or starved himself to death.
