I personally think that Chris thought that he could survive in the wilderness with what little he had. I think he believed this because when Jim, the trucker, questioned the supplies that Chris had with him, in looking that he had not come prepared to stay in the wild for a number of days, Chris had shrugged it off as if it was not a big deal, and he did not except anything offered to him except for a few sandwiches and a pair of sturdy boots.
When Chris went into the woods, I don't really think that he intended anything. In one of his entries, he wrote saying "if I come out of this...." and "if I dont come out of this then..." I think he didn't really care whether his outcome was life or death, he really just wanted a true transcendentalist experience.
