I once summited a mountain with less altitude. I found out altitude and I were not friends on this one. I got completely dizzy on the top and had to lay down and hold on to rocks to stop the carrussel I was on. Descending was very difficult, because it was a very tiny trail to walk on, with several hundred meters down left and right, and I was dizzy anyways and could hardly look at my feet so close to nothing. No rope to hold on to, one wrong step would have been fatal. I was scared to death. I focused on the meters before me and eventually made it down again. I don't remember how I got home. Dinner had already been served and eaten in the hostel, no food was left, and the next physical challenge to go hungry until breakfast being completely exhausted and needing food. So, mountains are history for me.
Wow, that sounds intense! I’d be freaked out too! Sounds like you had a real “rocky” relationship with that mountain! Good job getting down in one piece.
You’re absolutely right! It can get a bit repetitive, which is why I changed it to more variety in the latest videos I uploaded. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I live in the country and in spite of my controlled acrophobia, I raised an extension ladder and climbed up on my roof, but I was so nervous that the ladder would fall over and I'd be stuck up there, that I never did it again! Now, I don't even remember why I had to go up there, but I'm through living dangerously!
Right? It’s like going to a concert and realizing you can’t see the stage because of the tall guy in front of you! Everest really knows how to keep its secrets!
You're absolutely right! We must take responsibility and clean up the mess. Every little effort counts! If we ignore it much longer, we might just start a new reality show called "Survivor: Trash Edition!" Let’s not let it get to that point!
It is the responsibility of everyone to take out what you brought in. Those sherpas make very little money and to ask them to clean up others' mess is so very wrong.

The title you chose normally means the opposite. What I mean is the authorities are trying to hide important information from the public which is crucial to successfully climbing, and reaching the summit. Perhaps your title should be What You Don't Know About Everest Base Camp would be more accurate since the content in your video is exactly that. Did You Know.... Also, I don't think you know what the word comprehensive means. This video is fluff, and nothing more.

Did you know that prefacing every statement by saying 'did you know that' gets very tiresome and annoying very quickly ?

Did you know it's impolite to point out ones faults in public?
Don't be a cunt.💜🤷♂️
I once scaled a six foot ladder to retrieve a frisbee from my roof without acclimatizing first.
Next time, maybe try negotiating with the frisbee from the ground. :-)
😂😂😂
You absolute madman 😂

@@mjleger4555 Many people have a fear of spiders, so don't worry, you're not alone.
I would like to hike to Everest base camp,someday.💙💛💙
The irony of Mount Everest base camp is that you can't actually see the peak of Everest from the camp.
Right? It’s like going to a concert and realizing you can’t see the stage because of the tall guy in front of you! Everest really knows how to keep its secrets!
You can see the peak, although just barely. Just returned from base camp 6 days ago….absolutely amazing!
The trash and leftover oxygen bottles, human waste, and general debris MUST be cleaned up.
We just can't keep ignoring it..

Did you know there are so many tourists and climbers, it's becoming annoying and/or disappointing for an increasing number of people?
Right? At this point, I expect to see a souvenir stand at the summit! "Get your overpriced keychains here!"
I hiked up a hill one time.
Did you know you say did you know too much? And why is there a shot Kilimanjaro in the video?
It's grows because of the trash heap and trinkets everyone leaves at the summit, not tectonic plates 😂
Haha, that's a quirky take on how the summit grows! So what you're saying is, we should start a trash heap trend for growth at home too?
You call human feces "trinkets?!" It's a disgrace and the atrocious crap all over the mountain is disgusting!
Good luck to ALL who claim it

Why do you have a photo of a Kilimanjaro National Park sign @ 1:08 in a video about Everest? Makes no sense.
Thanks for pointing that out! It seems we had a little mix-up, but I appreciate your keen observation!
The altitude he was talking about is the approximate height of Mt Kilimanjaro. I believe thats why he showed kilimanjaro

I was there in 2010....change the word basecamp😂...
😅
Did it solo first time and took a group 2 years later
That's awesome! Going solo must've been wild.
@@TripperTrekCould be done being a teahouse trek. Similarly Annapurna circuit as well. Thank you
@@bvprakash2413 really.... with oxygen or without? Which year?
DID YOU KNOW>>>?
