Glacier hunts require some specialized gear that has some weight to it. I dont go over 45 lbs with food for 10 days. I used to go at almost 65lbs but I actually go with much less stuff. It's sad when you use your GPS for entertainment but i am sure that the old timers probably were used to way more Spartan and miserable experiences.
I suspect that a lot of the old timers spend a lot of very boring days during the winter just picking the crud out from under their toenails.
