I think that was a big draw. Being dependent on his dad whom he grew to hate was a big push to his adventures, and he just wanted to be able to try himself against nature. People kept bailing him out, so he could never get the answer of whether or not he could really survive on his own.
It's unfortunate that most of the easily inhabitable world is inhabited, so you have to go to desert or very cold places where the chance of survival is so low.
If there was real untamed wilderness in Southern California, he'd probably still be alive. Or he would have just push on to a harder survival experience...
