Hi Richard, great video, thanks. May I ask some questions please:
1. Gloves: do the outer ones need to be waterproof? (can't seem to find waterproof ones in decathlon, only windproof ones).
2. Waterproof jacket: would a waterproof jacket (2-layered, rated '5000mm Schmerber') also be considered windproof by default ? –and if so, then I need not worry about getting a separate 'windproof' jacket to deal with purely windy days.
3. Did you actually manage to do any laundry? Would the number of items of clothing (underwear, socks, base layer tops/tees) be different if you didn't do any laundry throughout the 13-day trek?
4. Did you find carrying a solar panel effective? (I'm going in April, so not sure if it may be more cloudy and therefore less effective?).
5. Would you recommend packing body/hand warmers?
I hope you will be able to answer at least some if not all my questions above. Many thanks! cheers! Glenn
Good and funny ????
I’m going EBC on April
Love your video! Do you mind sharing the links to your stuff that you got? For example, day pack that you used
The Decathlon duffel bag is not made to be carried on the back for extensive periods of time, usually after one or 2 hours it's getting very uncomfortable and it can even hurt. So planning to have it carried by someone else is… well you get the point. Would have been more honest to carry your 120L+ rucksac alone mate.
Thanks for the video, I have a question for you: is it cheaper to buy some equipment in Kathmandu rather than Australia or Europe? Cheers!
nice information, you were spot on.
How did you wash your clothes there? (T-shirt or underwear). I thought it'll never get dry overnight. Any tricks pls? ????
Appreciate the effort u put into this video❤ it's so helpful
11 to 15 degree C sleeping bag would be fine for EBC trek in the month of Mid May?
From Nepal City to base camp round trip, how much need to spend? Which exercise should do to minimize altitude sickness?
love this video. Im going in October. Basically I don't need anything fancy to complete trek?Cheaper brands will do the trick?
You had a big jacket for Kalapathar correct?
Very useful EBC packing list video clip. Thanks a l????t!
Is a duffle bag necessary or can i just get away with using a day pack?
this dude looks like 54 yo and 24 yo at the same time
very informative. thank you
What time of year did you go?
Thank you this is good.
???????????????????????????????? thanks
This is the most entertaining gear video – well done.
Nice video sir ???? ????
Hi Richard, your video is very helpful! Just wanted to ask, what's the best time to summit EBC and why do others pack two different shoes (hiking & heavy leather)? Thanks!
Informative, brief and hilarious
