@Lohoris please re-read the answer. Like Luaan said, I explain it in my answer. so he left the Wall to live free, the way he wanted.

Going south would mean death, so the only options were going north, or staying with the watch (which he didn't want to, as described in the answer). In other words, he judged his chances, and decided that going beyond the wall is the safer option. After uniting the wildlings, he had a better bargaining position. Not to mention that he might have wanted to help his fellow wildlings against the Others (provided he knew about the impending danger and the severity of the threat). | |

| Jul 8, 2014 at 1:56 | comment | added | Shevliaskovic | @Lohoris I'm not sure I understood what you said. He wanted to leave the Wall. Thus he would be a deserter. If he went south of the Wall, they would kill him. | |
| Jul 7, 2014 at 20:22 | comment | added | o0'. | The last sentence doesn't make much sense: the question asks why he deserted in the first place, i.e. if he wouldn't have deserted, he wouldn't... be a deserter? Sorry to state the obvious... | |
