      Really enjoy your videos. When I served aboard the USS Carl Vinson in the mid 1980's, I had a young MM1 named Foster who was a rock climbing and mountaineer enthusiast. He submitted a 30 day leave request to me when we were in an extended shutdown period. I asked him why he needed so much time as most people did not take 30 days in one shot. He said "I am going to Mt. Everest base camp." Well, needless to say, I approved it and he came back with wonderful pictures and stories. So, 30 years later, you are travelling in Foster's footsteps.

      brie B since the early times when white men started to go to Nepal and india to climb the mountain tops, these nepali men also called sherpas have been used to help them carry their luggage and oxygen tanks to the top or wherever they go. These people are very strong and their bodies have been moulded to climb the mountains with heavy weight since they have to bring their necessities to their homes due to lack of any proper transportation, though now situations have changed. While going to Darjeeling, we saw the rigourous training the porters go through in training institutes specially designed for them. It is a sad situation but it is feeding them and providing for their families in such high mountainous towns and villages

    • @pyarepiyush

    We were there in mid winter. It was cold but it is a lot drier in winter. Once we were above Lukla we remained above the fog layer. It was sunny and we were warm even though it reached a maximum of about zero we were in shorts and a t shirt during the day. But -25C in our tent at night though at Namche. Got colder after that.

    I wished you had put it out there that although we have porters and guides who make a living, like anywhere else, no one should abuse the 'help' and fair consideration should be made about luggage for such hikes. Local porters will never complaint about their work or guests, but as more and more people get access to these trails, there also more and more people who don't plan. The rule should be that if you can't carry it on a hike, don't expect someone else to. 🕊
