"Turn Around or Die" by Nutnfancy ('Glacier Call' Pt 1)
This video, "Turn Around or Die" by Nutnfancy, details a challenging wilderness adventure where the participants, including "Allie the Mountain Dog," face rapidly deteriorating conditions on a glacier at 10,000 feet. Despite excellent gear like a Kelty SuperTioga backpack and rain gear, the inability to stay dry and the combination of zero-zero visibility, tiredness, storms, lack of ice gear, and approaching darkness necessitate a retreat. The decision to abandon their original goals is highlighted as a life-saving choice, demonstrating the importance of situational awareness and abandoning ego over fitness or gear. The video also features an encounter with another hiker who made a similar decision after experiencing a whiteout. The trip concludes with a comfortable bivouac and reflections on the experience, gear, and the beauty of the environment, interspersed with humor and canine antics.
