Alaska for Spencer

Spencer spent 10 days in Alaska for a BEAR team, evaluating damage and risks from a fire in Denali National Park.

Taking a helicopter for aerial surveying, observing wildlife in their natural habitat, and hiking around some of America's most rugged and beautifil mountain terrain for days, and getting paid for it, 🙋‍♂️ yes please.
