What Was it About Chris?

Chris's personality was a thing many people were drawn to. But why? I think it's because he has so many ideas and thoughts that people can relate to. He's like so many people, just taken to an extreme. Everyone want's to be independent, maybe not as much as Chris was, but they could see themselves in him. Everyone wanted adventure and freedom and to be in nature in some degree. Chris carried a little bit of everyone he met and everyone could relate to him in some way. Some people could see themselves in him, like Jan and Bob, and some idolized him like Tracy did.
