As you can see by this epic picture of me gazing off into the distance at a large hunk of ice, I hiked the west glacier trail, which has about 10 search and rescues on it every year, out to the Mendenhall glacier because #yolo. Now let me tell you what I learned while exploring this icy death trap. One, you should definitely invest in a hands-free belt satchel (also known as a fanny pack for you muggles) and a selfie stick. You may look slightly ridiculous with a selfie stick but how else are you going to take awesome selfies like this one?
And clearly you need somewhere to store it, and that's where the hands-free belt satchel comes in! Plus its just fun to say hands-free belt satchel. The second thing I learned is always, always listen to people who are more experienced than you, even if you're stubborn like me and think you can do everything yourself. Because you will get lost, just like they said, and then you will slip on glacial ice, jam your wrist, and need to ask random boys to rescue you. Moral of this story is, don't be stubborn and know your limitations. Also, selfie sticks and hands-free belt satchels are the most genius inventions to date.
