I just love the hat your mother in law knit you. So sweet and wonderful with your initials on it and everything.

This is incredibly technical, but SO HELPFUL and very INSIGHTFUL for people wanting to learn about how to prepare and pack.

I like merino wool very much, especially for daily use or as a baselayer. I don't have any experience with high mountains.
But it is still a fact that merino wolol is one of the coldest wools around and it is also colder than most fleece. What I found to be really warm and still quite affordable (the warmest wool is very exotic and extremly expensive and there are no real outdoor specific products) is Alpaca wool. It has all the advantages of merino wool (maybe a little bit more itchy depending on the quality), but is way warmer than that.

I loved the video. Very informative. Climbing to Mountain Everest is my dream. I hope one day l can do it. I need actually more information and l am still searching how to do that. And l would love to chat with you more. Thanks

this is fantastic! if you have ever tried to find a reliable gear check for everest or any other big mountain, you know it isn.t easy. love to have all the detail in how you look through that stuff. always wanted to know what kind of gloves are suitable for the summit.

Thanks for the informational video, but I had some questions.
1. What do you normally recommend to wear under a down suit ?
2. Are permits on Everest for one time use only?
3. Do you ever plan to climb k2?

Thanks.

What is the model of the Patagonia pants you mentioned? There are several model and I’m curious which ones you like so much. Thanks, great videos!

Do you leave the lighter/warm weather stuff at the camps as you go, and get them on the way down?  Like the sandals for example?

Very informative and useful! What water repellent are you hitting your gear with?

How on earth do you bring all this with you. I have a hard time bringing everything for a few day kayaking hammock trip

What do you mean that you have gear still up at camp 2. Can you explain that to a complete novice? How do you keep gear there long term?

Excellent gear, now for the good part. How did you get $45,000 for the trip?

How did the sorel boots hold up????? I seen quite a few sorel boots that crack on the rubber around the toe area. I was also shopping for them on Amazon and people also stated that the boots cracked along the seems and they showed pics. Im concerned because it seems like they are hit or miss regarding quality of the boot.

When you were going over the first boots, the Asolo extra wide boots, what did you use for the "extra waterproofing"?

2 down parkas? Was it really neccessary or could you've done without one of them?

Do you know any good mountaineering boots for wide feet usually for 6000 meter peaks?

Thanks for the video. What goggles did you wear if any?

I'm confused. How can you leave stuff on Camp II for a long period of time?

Which model is that of the OR gtx-gloves? Is it the Alti gloves?

How do you go to the toilet near the summit? Without freezing?
