Vou escrever textao para engajamento! Até a pouco tempo atrás, mal sabia onde ficava o Everest. Fui pega pela curiosidade quando vi o primeiro vídeo sobre a tragédia de 1997. De lá pra cá passei a fazer uma coletânea de vídeos. O mundo do montanhismo é um mundo a parte e ao mesmo tempo encena todos os dramas humanos desde sempre: colonialismo, exploração, abuso, covardia, ganância, crueldade e algumas pinceladas de heroísmo, generosidade, coragem, honra. O documentário capta muito bem o universo dos Sherpas! 🏔️🤍 E. Iva o tradutor automático ⚙️ ja que, por enquanto, nao falo inglês ou nepales.
This is a good documentary, I just don't understand why someone who speaks and understands the language would not not provide subtitles, it would have made the documentary so much better
Hi there, there's actually subtitles if you click the gear icon down at the bottom. Couldn't burn them in as then you wouldn't be able to switch languages. Definitely agree, they make a huge difference. Hope that helps if you watch it again!
@@pathfindercreations olá, sou do Brasil 🇧🇷. Graças ao tradutor automático do RU-vid estou tendo o privilégio de assistir esse documentário maravilhoso! Sou encantada com o povo nepales. Um modo tão diferente do ocidental. Uma vida difícil mas que ainda conserva alegria e generosidade! Parabéns aos envolvidos na produção do vídeo! 🏔️🤍
Wonderful documentary. Interesting, informative and enjoyable. Well done. Wonderful photography and humour. Thank you very much. The porters should be much better paid for their back-breaking work, and their food and accommodation should be paid by the hirers.
Everest expeditions without Sherpas are ABSOLUTELY impossible, but they never get the credit they deserve!!! THEY are the critical factor! And the same applies for all the others involved in logistics (porters, cooks, medics, pilots, etc), which in another way are also essential in all the effort. It would be interesting to know how much they are paid to do such dangerous and indispensable job, is it a fair share of the earnings? And the Nepali Government? how does it spends the money collected in permits and the like? Does it benefit the local communities? perhaps in providing clean water, education or medical facilities? That is a report I would want to see! Greetings from wild, wet, windy and wonderful Western Patagonia, Chile
That was a really great look at the difficult life of the porters. Props for making this documentary to shed light on the reality and for actually being a porter for 11 days!
Just started the video, but this guy is nuts if he’s willing to drink from the tap. Not a good move for a westerner, especially if they’re climbing Everest.
i just really salute all the mountain porters, wherever part of the world they are... carrying heavy things more than half the weight of their own body most even use their head to carry is just unimaginable... their strength and pure hearts are always my inspiration everytime I feel helpless or discourage during hard climbs just carrying 15kg on my back.. this documentary is just really inspiring..our group always make sure the guides and porters we climb with are treated equally and with full of respect. Because they are our heroes in the mountains.❤❤❤
Thank you for making this video. I will do my first ever trek in Nepal Oct./Nov. 2024. I promise to pack light and tip every porter in my group equal to what they are earning for my time there. I will be forever grateful and indebted for the assistance given to me. Honored to be there with them🙏 ………What the hell do all of those people pack to make a porter’s job extremely hard??? It breaks my heart to see this…
Hi! There is a “gear(settings)” symbol on the top right corner on mobile and down right corner on pc where you can turn on subtitles, then choose English. Thank you!
Those so called mountaineers are nobody but idiots in the game of challenging the summit of Everest without the support of porters. They just have money to force others to work for them!
Can't imagine how your back survived the weight. The porters might have the edge on altitude but the weight has to affect their bodies over time, and there sure isn't worker's compensation. If mountaineers can pay $11,000 for an Everest climbing permit alone, 1% is more than the average of what's paid to porters. A Canadian waiter is insulted if he or she gets even 10%.
Nate… little Howard Stern and his dad. Thanks for the awesome documentary, you are so bad ass! 💪🏼 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y3TETU14HU4.html
For people not knowing what was said, on my IPad, there is a “gear” symbol on the top right corner where you can turn on subtitles , then choose English if that’s the language you are looking for!😊
Shame shame shame on those clients who only tipped that man $100.00. That was disgusting, who do they think they are? Next time let them carry the shit up themselves.
The backbone of the mountain. This is an amazing insight into the lives of these spectacular humans. The level of ungrateful treatment of these folk is insane. Not many would succeed at all without local porters, local sherpa or guides.
Anyone else disappointed when this ended? I would like to watch more! Really, without Porters, there would be no summiting Everest. I honestly am ashamed to hear of our fellow kind, not tipping or tipping 500 Rupees to the Porters. If foreign climbers who pay anywhere from $20k to $80k USD per expedition, don't want to or not prepared to tip properly, then don't use their services then! 🤬 That old senior couple (at beginning of video), who had lost their son... Couldn't help but to notice the old lady's expression, when her husband talked about having to carry large windows, doors, roofing slabs piece by piece because Hillary wanted to re-build his same old house up there. All in all; without Porters and Sherpas, there is no climbing Everest. So why? How is it that porters are on the lowest rung of the totem pole?
Man’s inhumanity to man. I am sure the guys climbing boots cost more than 100. He wouldn’t need those boots it not for the porters. There should be a minimum requirement for tips seeing as people are so selfish.
@yorkiesweetpea23 And yes! I could have watched this for hours. Do you know how far the porters go? What the incline is? How many times they make the trip? I would love to get a perspective. If I come across any similar documentary’s I will pass on!
Nate ...having bn thru tis kind of hardship will surely make u to grow into a kinder/ emphatic/ sympatic man henceforth. May ur future success/fortune be generously shared with the lesser kind. U hv done well man!!!
This was really well done and an interesting look at the world of the porter. I wish there would have been translation to English for what the men were saying to each other because I would have liked to have known their conversations. These people work very hard for very little money. Thank you for showing what they do.
You think them dogs pay the potters the tip we leave for them lol.always give them a tip ur self.never leave it down to them fraudsters they probably pay them $5 a day.
