I hiked Lake 22 with microspikes today (thanks, @davidquarles ) and saw only one other person wearing them even though the last half was all slippery 4-6 banks of snow. I administered first aid to 6 people including using an entire full bottle of Bactine and superglue on a woman with a serious gash. Her and her boyfriend had nothing on them, not even water, and were not elevating her injured leg or applying pressure to the wound. I one by one pulled 10 people stuck down a river bank out who had been stuck down there, out of view for 30 minutes and has to guide people down who kept falling. I also gave my back up socks to a soaking wet kid, watched someone throwing rocks triggering avalanches at the top, saw someone walk on the frozen lake and go waist deep in the water when the ice broke... my first aid kit was ransacked and I felt stressed out the whole time watching people with literally nothing but warm weather gym clothes slip and slide. I asked multiple families with small kids to turn back around since the sun was behind the mountain and people were heading up at 6:30. I’ll go to the #olympicpeninsula from here on out to avoid dinguses stressing me the fuck out. #tenessentials #wta #alltrails #nwac #preparedness #firstaidkit #layers #water #microspikes (at Lake Twentytwo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B93D5KwguEn/?igshid=49ums5n0uqrp
