Hailing from the rainy city of Seattle, this duo is constantly pushing the limits of adventure travel. Riding mountain bikes to Mt. Everest base camp, flipping off a cruise ship on the Yangtze River, illegally crossing into North Korea, trying to ride motorcycles from Bangkok to Singapore in two weeks (having previously never been on motorcycles), camping in downtown Beijing during the Olympics, and eating goat penis are some of their exciting and informative trips caught on film. In Deep Films is currently based in the United States.
Thank you for sharing your journey. At 70 don't think I could do the trip to the top. But I savored every moment of your trip. Felt like I was in your boots. Thanks again for making this. Incredible video
Glad you took your time to show us the beautiful but deadly vicinity, not many similar videos to find here. Your preparations in advance were SICK! Still, obviously the best training cannot completely keep up with reality and nature itself. That said I find it even the more disturbing how some (masses of) people think it's a nice idea to go up there believing it's just an extended weekend trip. Congrats on summiting!
Loved the detail of this task you put into the video. Most videos I've seen about climbing high mountais is "ok we arrived at the base camp" then some moments later you are already trying for the peak :)
I've seen a lot of mountaineering docos over the years and just stumbled across this one. I certainly was not expecting something this good to have escaped my searches, what a nice blend of comedy, camp life, training structure and adventure- without the music being too overpowering, mostly. And long enough to really get in to it, I'll be using this as motivation towards a 6200m Himalayan trekking peak I'm attempting in September. Cheers 👍🙏
I’ve been in the Mt. Everest rabbit hole the last few weeks and I just have to say this is the absolute best documentary/ video I have seen to date. Top notch work, great job!!
I respect anyone that wants to conquer Everest.Out of all the videos I have watched about this stunning mountain I don't think anyone is getting to the top without the help and support of the Sherpa's who do heroic work to get paying clients to the top.Some of them are treated as modern day slaves(When they get to the really high sections of the death zone) and they should form a union to make sure they get a decent amount of payment.
You have people cook for you lol. I haven't been on a vacation in 3 years and these dude just chillin on a mountain for months eating playing card and shittin in a bucket.
This is a pretty incredible video, from start to finish. Initially, I thought it would spend too much time on non-climbing stuff, but as it turns out, I’m really glad you included all the training, as it was important to my realization. That realization was…you were in what I would consider INCREDIBLE shape, especially through use of the pressurized sleeping tents and training masks, and yet you were STILL breathing pretty damn hard at Camp 1, and were tuckered out after each day. It really emphasizes the need to be in absolutely GREAT shape. Patrick was just the energizer bunny, which would not be me, but it was motivating in its own right. I guess I’m curious how you paid for all these trips you took leading up to Everest? I mean, these are $15-20k trips, before Antarctica, and then the Antarctica and New Zealand trips…I mean…those must’ve been $25-40k trips. And then on top of that, you did Everest the very next year with an expedition company? I’m not sure what your expedition cost, but I would guess >$50K. I wouldn’t be able to save that kind of money, and I make decent skrill. What I can say, in closing, is that much like you did while preparing for Everest, I have watched pretty much everything 8000m related video on RU-vid, including countless expeditions. You guys had, by far, one of the coolest expeditions I’ve ever seen. By that, I mean you had a great group of people, there was no visible drama, and you had good planners and Sherpa to keep you safe. Secondly, you guys had probably the best stretch of weather I have ever seen on the mountain. Almost every single expedition I’ve ever followed has had at least one day of gnarly weather, and while you guys had a little snow during acclimitization, you really faced nothing else. Last question…if you have changed one thing about your training and prep, what would it be? Cheers man, and thanks again for such an informative. Video.
This is probably one of the best Everest Videos I have seen. It’s so comprehensive and really shows it how it is. Thank you for taking the time to put it all together.
“I made this video for people who are training and need help passing time..” Me sitting in my bed at 2am eating snacks pretending I’m on of those ppl 🤣
Bro u filmed the entire documentary awesome... During watching this I felt that I am also climbing with all of you... Wow that's great thank you so much for entertain us with chilling experiences and challenges
