When McCandless began his journey he didn't know the bus was there. He just picked a random direction and started walking. If you're intentionally walking towards the bus, you're following his literal footsteps but you're not replicating the same conditions. If you wanted to really follow in his footsteps you should pick an equally random direction and start walking. Odds are you won't find a bus and no one will ever find your body.
