Who is Chris McCandless? Chapters 1 & 2

Chapter 1:
This kid named Alex seems to be Chris. Why would he need a false name if he was just catching a ride? He's only about 18 or 19, so the truck driver says, and he's packed pretty light. That leaves me to believe in a few things. Either a) he doesn't want to stay that long, b) he's pretty dumb or c) he has a death wish that he really want's to come true. Which ever option is right, he seems pretty confident in it. Reading further into the chapter, maybe Alex isn't a code name for Chris. He's talking about his trip to Mexico a while back, and what I know about the story so far, I don't know if Chris McCandless went to Mexico. Wait, I take that back. The driver says it was in 1992, the year McCandless Died. Yes, it's definitely him.

Chapter 2:
Chris seems to know what he's doing. He knows where to go. Except he doesn't know when to leave until it's too late. That sign on the door was quite unnerving. That's about all this chapter says on Chris McCandless.
