The Trail Hunter I do have a question regarding guides. We were planning on going with a group guided trek (10-15) people but, like you, I’m not a fan of crowds. The cost for our trekking company is $2950 USD per person. This includes all internal hotel, lodging, food and flights. Did you book a guide in advance? You trekked alone (plus the guide)? What was the cost? Thanks again. Also you can email me: troyhwhite@gmail.com

Good Information. Good video. One question tough. Your sleeping bag says 30° F ..which translates to about -1° C.. i have the exact same temp Rating with my mountain Equipment Helium 600. But everyone says to bring -10 to -15 °c (5° F) as the night temp drops and the rooms are not heated at all.. is the bag too cold?

@Dan-qm1po 5 лет назад

Really useful video, thank you! I am doing EBC in late September/early October this year without a guide or porter. The only thing I'm really concerned about is finding accommodation, especially high up, as I've heard the big tour groups often send people ahead to book places up for their groups. Do you happen to have any tips? Or do you think we'll be ok?

@thetrailhunter4469 5 лет назад

Hi Dan. Really cool to do it without a guide and you’ll have a fantastic time. Have you hiked at that altitude before? In terms of accommodation, at the higher elevations it’s very unlikely you’ll get a room to yourself and you’ll probably be on the floor in the dining rooms. So bring a closed foam cell sleeping pad or inflatable. Don’t worry, nobody will see you spend the night outside. But the best bet if you really want to make sure is go to a trekking company and see if they can just book the accommodation ahead for you. They’ll charge a service fee but not sure on the price. They’ll get you as far as Dingboche/Pheriche but Lobuche and GorakShep is probably luck of the day so try to get there as early as possible. You’ll be fine.

I was thinking it wouldn't be warm enough and I was going to hire one. Did you see any for hire/know if that would be worthwhile? Also I was looking at a Black Diamond head torch! Do you recommend a different brand/model or they will all go flat. Thanks :)

@thetrailhunter4469 4 года назад

Hi Mikaela. My 30f was fine under the blankets in the tea houses and I’d take a Nalgene bottle with boiled water to bed with me and was quite comfortable. As for headlamps I rarely used it to be honest as we didn’t hike at night and stayed in tea houses so one spare set of batteries will do plus you can buy batteries on the trail, or you could bring a USB chargeable lamp and it will last the whole trip. Hope that helps! Russ

@tonyfurman7942 4 месяца назад

Loved this video, but a quick comment about shoes vs boots. An entire video could (should?) be posted on footwear alone, right? I'm. 63 and have been trekking , climbing, hiking, snowshoeing, etc. on and off for 50 years. When I was your age, my feet could tolerate thin, pliable, soft-soled low-top shoes (maybe--I never tried it), but not at my age today. If I were a guide--or otherwise responsible for others' safety and health, I would be very concerned about recommending to my older clients to trek in athletic shoes--even ones with good traction. I've seen lots of snapped ankles on trails much less challenging, rocky, and "stair-steppy" than EBC. Older clients are more susceptible to ankle sprains commonly associated with lack of ankle support, especially late in the day when muscles are getting fatigued. Boots do not cause blisters. Only poor fitting or improperly broken in boots cause blisters. Some of the nastiest blisters I've ever observed were on wet feet that came out of supposedly "water-proof" athletic shoes that became soaked. I would encourage older trekkers, if not all trekkers, to at least reconsider the trade-off between weight and ankle stability (as well as the other benefits of booots). I do agree that good mid-high or high boot is heavy. Weight is perhaps the only attribute of an athletic shoe in its favor IMO. A good pair of boots can add 2 lbs (compared to trail runners), which frankly is a lot. Nonetheless, I don't believe trail runners are a risk worth taking for the average or older trekker for the sake of saving 2 lbs. In addition to ankle support, boots have the added benefits of greater thermal protection, superior traction, superior waterproofing, and sturdier soles that I believe tip the scale in favor of boots.

@polunga 4 года назад

Most companies that I've seen recommend bringing a 0F sleeping bag, were you comfortable in that 30F one? I'm buying a 20F quilt from UGQ outdoor that is supposed to be the comfort rating (not survival), do you think I should be ok with that one if I plan to go in October? I usually sleep warm.

@thetrailhunter4469 4 года назад

Every individual sleeps at different temperature ratings. Im a warm sleeper and used it under the blankets in the tea houses and was fine. 👍

Hi, good question. Only some of my accommodation was pre-booked however my guide was able to get on the phone to book things while on the move. It might be wise to pre-book if you can. You could even ask a trekking company just for the service of booking the accommodation which will make your life easier. If you were doing the same as me then here’s the itinerary: You’ll need 1 night in Phakding (depending on how late your flight gets to Lukla) 2 nights in Namche 1 night in Panboche 2 nights in Dingboche 1 night in Lobuche 1 night in GorakShep 1 night in Pheriche/Dingboche again depending on the route you take back 1 night in Tengboche 1 night in Namche again Back to Lukla All dependant on what you want to do 👍 hope that helps.

@thetrailhunter4469 5 лет назад

Hi, thanks for watching! Yes you could, but the rooms literally are so cold and damp in the tea houses, I’d sleep in my quilt under the sheets. Also, at Gorak Shep it’s not guaranteed you’ll get a room. You may need to sleep on the floor in the dining room.

@thetrailhunter4469 5 лет назад

Also, if you get caught out in the cold for whatever reason between tea houses, a sleeping bag will keep you warm. I’d recommend a down filled sleeping bag as they’re lighter and have more fill power than a synthetic bag. It’s so dry up there so down is perfect.

@AexoeroV 5 лет назад

Only one pair of shoes? You bought those knock offs from Tamel and trusted them? What if the soles felt off? In my opinion you need a trail runner and a light weight mid boot for the upper parts where its colder, also some ankle support its welcomed and you need to thrust your shoes and to worn them before a serious trekk.

@thetrailhunter4469 5 лет назад

Not these ones, they were fantastic, very comfy didn’t break and were perfect for base camp and I still use them even today. I wouldn’t recommend bringing two pairs of shoes, you won’t use them and you’ll just be carrying dead weight.

@AexoeroV 5 лет назад

@@thetrailhunter4469 yeah, on a serious and long trekk you want to go as light as possible but if i would had to choose and go with one pair i would go with a mid boot like the Salewa Alp Mid Trainer boot. You said your self that you thought you'll get frostbite up there, a trail runner for -15 celsius degrees is not really enough. And if i would have two pairs like i said, i would wear them both cause dont there at the beginning of the track can be warm and maybe you dont want a goretex lined boot but for sure i would like to be in a boot there at 5K

@thetrailhunter4469 5 лет назад

Sure. Totally agree with that for the ankle support if you’re worried about it. I’ve practiced with shoes as the blisters from boots are a killer. I feel if a had worn a thicker and cleaner pair of socks just for Kalapatthar my feet would have been warmer. I definitely learned a lesson that day. Anyone doing this trek should only do what’s comfortable for them and whatever gear they feel confident in as everyone is different.

@@thetrailhunter4469 there are those boots with hard sole and there are those boots that the sole bend and its flexible like on a sneaker, the last ones dosent give you blisters so much but the socks matter too regarding blisters. I can get blisters in sneakers too but i sweat heavily on my feet and that makes skin softer and blister prone. When i was visiting New York i was walking 15-20km a day, oh man i had blisters filled with blood after a few days.

Poor advise about the drinking water. Buying mineral water up in Himalayas has a massive environmental impact and is generally totally unnecessary. All that plastic waste gets buried in landfill behind the villages or burnt. You can get water bottles filled at most lodges and restaurants then just use the chlorine tabs. They don't taste that bad and are so much better for the environment.

Thanks James. Sound advice. Can also take a Nalgene bottle and fill with boiled water at night. Or even take a water filter too, but be careful it doesn’t freeze. Thanks for watching. 🤙
