I think Peter hits the nail right on the head by describing Katz’s pre-Bryson life as a roller coaster. Katz experienced all sorts of drug-related problems in his past which cause readers to question Bryson’s decision making abilities, even though Katz was indeed the only one able to accept Bryson’s invitation. Yet still, Peter also mentions how much of a wreck Katz was when Bryson found him, AND Katz spoke of how he wanted to go out with a “bang”. Bryson needs to have a VERY good reason for bringing Katz along on this journey, because he could ultimately end up endangering himself.
I agree with Kaila when she says that Katz agrees to go along on Bryson’s trip so that they can once again become friends. Katz may be attempting to finesse Bryson out of asking for his 600$ back. What drug wouldn’t want to escape having to pay someone back? Also, Ford mentioned how Katz began criticizing the difficulty of the trip along the Appalachian Trail. This leads me back to my first comment when I state that Bryson could be setting himself up for a formidable situation when he takes Katz with him.
