I appreciate your attention to hygiene! Showering, changing your inner layers and socks daily seemed like a challenge from other TH-cam videos about EBC.
Very informative. Thank you!
I dunno some people say take a 3 season bag. Others stay take a 4 season bag rated down to minus 10 degrees C as a minimum. Crazy stuff
Great advices and thank you for your comments also regarding the weight limits. A lot of videos are not taking in consideration this. The additional comments from K was also helpful for me. Thanks guys.
Very good comments. Getting ready to fly out tomorrow for EBC trek, and have adjusted items due to your presentation. I will ditto an earlier comment that it was good to hear you talk about the weight allowed on the flight to Lukla. Again, thanks for tips. Very well done!!
Thanks :)
I would only wash my clothes only if necessary. I only have 3 days of clothing for changing + 1 set of clothing that I would be wearing. Lihhtweight microfiber fabric materials are really good to prevent frequent washing.
Nice helpful video. Crisp and clear explanation. Just the right items and nicely organized. The list in description is also very helpful. At 12:40 you mention about the exped duffel bag. It's a nice convenient bag to have. Would you have an amazon link to it by any chance. Thanks
Sorry for the delay in replying - I cant find it on amazon - thebucketlistcompany.co.uk/product/exped-stowaway-duffle-20/
Reasonably good presentation. Some thoughts:
- Too many base layers (underwear & short sleeve T-shirts). Absolutely no need to have fresh base layer every single day. I have 2 merino T-shirts and 2 long sleeve merino shirts of different weight (160 and 260) and manage a trek of unlimited length with 3 pairs of sports boxers. You did not mention merino...
- Boots: even lighter shoes are good enough, I have been to EBC/Khumbu 3 times (out of 5) with trail runners or old joggers even. Usually there is no snow and the trails are reasonably good.
- Never needed shell pants, take light quilted pants instead for the cold nights.
- Merino long johns if not for hiking then for sleeping (and long sleeve shirt) at least at the higher lodges. You do mention those in passing.
- Wide brimmed hat against the sun, or you will burn your earlobes and nose.
- Lodges have pillows, a pillowcase would be more useful.
Free tip: there is a much more impressive high trail up via Mong La - Phortse - Pangpoche which should be used on the way up, return via Tengboche. Why walk the same trail twice when there is a better alternative?
Thanks for your comment. As I said this is what I take on my EBC treks. I like to have a fresh pair of socks, underwear and t-shirt everyday. If I can get it in within my weight limit then I always will. Although I agree with you that you could do everest base camp in sports trainers (you could do it in flip-flops, although I wouldn't advise), it is not something I would advise my clients to do. I have seen people do it in trainers and turn their ankles badly. I think for a long trek like this you should have some ankle support to help avoid this.
I always take my own pillow just because it is mine. Yes you could take a pillow case if you wanted to use their pillows in the teahouse. I have walked in trousers plenty of times on the EBC trek, some people don't like walking in shorts, but its down to personal preference. I have never used insulated trousers on an EBC trek. My sleeping bag is warm enough to just sleep in my underwear although I mention in the video for people to take thermal layers if they feel the cold. Again I dont think I have never worn my thermal layer but I don't tend to feel the cold.
We do come back a different way on our Standard EBC trek and we also offer the Gokyo trek as well for those wanting to see more and extend their trek further on the way back.
Again thank you for your comments it is always interesting to get someone else's perspective.
@@thebucketlistcompany Of course one can optimize and fill the kit with the given weight limit, but for me a wider selection of mid layers and light softshell/ wind jacket is more convenient and comfortable than having a lot of underwear I would not need to change every day anyway.
With quilted pants for night I actually meant evenings, as evenings in ("heated") dining rooms can be quite cool actually as you know. Never walked with those or down jacket. Using shorts depends on the weather and person, I have trekked in shorts up to Dingpoche sometime in the spring, but mostly at least capris (passable as light trouser pair/spare) or mid weight hiking pants/trousers.
I think the Phortse route is most impressive on the way up and also absorbs the added few hours easily. Naturally breaking the downtrek a bit unconventionally like you do is a good idea. Many agencies are fixated to certain villages only when there are actually plenty of safe possibilities to pace the trek. Keep up the good work!
@@karipintakivi9153 A friend of mine has just been out there and they had snow for 3 days from Namche so they were definitely in trousers and not shorts! But like you say I have worn shorts all the way to Loboche before, the weather can be so unpredictable so having a good layering system allows you to dress for all eventualities.
Thanks for the tips, can you please let me know what time of year you went, as Im going at the end of November into December
Beginning of October - you will just need to make sure you have a good layering system
Thanks for the video, which sleeping bag did you use?
It was a custom made PHD down sleeping bag
I was thinking about buying everything in Kathmandu before the trek. Would it be cheaper there then it is in australia? Will i be able to get everything or should i buy some stuff early?
Genuine items are more expensive. But the copied stuff is all a lot cheaper. I would take things like your boots, sleeping bag and day pack etc.
Are you absolutely out of your mind? Your literally recommending that people take 9 SHIRTS with them? Are you just a city slicking germaphobe, or have you never heard of merino before? Or, are you just trying to market to people that are city slickers or germaphobes? As someone who has thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail and a number of other even longer distance hikes I question your experience here. I really think that you need to talk to the older gentlemen who does the video for your Annapurna Circuit hike in Nepal that does a WAY better job of recommending things to people then you do. I'm sorry, but 9 SHIRTS is just ridiculously unnecessary. I literally spent over 6 months on the Appalachian Trail with just 1 technical base layer, and 1 merino t-shirt.
No I am not out of my mind. It’s just what I like to take. I am also not a germaphobe or a city slicker! I just like to have a shower and put a clean T-shirt and pair of socks on! Please let me have a copy of your recommendations and I will certainly add it to the channel so people can compare.
