The sherpas are like that naturally due to thousands of years of evolution of living at a high altitude and, due to no roads, their ancestors always had to carry their supplies.

Actually funny you should say that I did respond to him walking by on camera literally at that second my radio mic died ! - It’s something I thought about in the edit afterwards, but you’re right, they truly are incredible people ! Hope you enjoyed the film. If you can, please subscribe it means a lot!

Yes I noticed that too… buddy was trucking along like it was nothing…. while I am sure I would be sucking wind….

You'd be able to walk past carrying your own heavy load too, if you lived your whole life at that altitude

I'd imagine the Sherpas have evolved a better way of getting oxygen out of thin air than people who live at a few metres above Sea level! I live 11 metres above sea level, so would really struggle at altitude.

If a big man lifts more than a small girl he isnt amazing, he just has a natural physical advantage. Im sure the video guy could do the same thing at sea level as the sherpa does at altitude. Sherpa have an extreme measurable physical advantage in obtaining and using oxygen. It's not different than NBA players jumping high because they are naturally freakishly tall. It's a man with natural advantages doing his work. There are so many amazing things about sherpa and their culture, religion, work ethic, kinship bonds, etc but simply having a natural physical advantage, on its own, does not denote extra effort, courage or will. I guess if its really your first time seeing this that's fair enough reaction. But on these type videos people often comment on sherpa athleticism as if it's character.

Thank you so much for the intellectual and beautiful comment I’ve worked with Sir Michael Palin several times, and he was also president of the Royal geographical Society, of which I am a fellow He is an incredible human being ! Thank you so much for your support. I’ve lost my planed I hope you can subscribe

I went to puerto rico during the darkest part of this winter it was nice 89 degrees and sunny with rain . But what caught me off guard was they experienced a hurricane Maria and half of the shops were closed around the world the Himalayas people were suffering after a quake . The minute we left Florida the boats were all over the coast from large wave I wonder if there have been alot of unusual weather anomalies because it seems we cannot avoid the suffering of people around the world.

I really as I've got older would forsake the peak . For a peek at the infamous mountain that took the Swiss machine form us . If the world's greatest mountain climber failed on her I got no business even risking another person's life I would rather capture everest on a camera lens.

I don't get the disparaging of climbers. Most seasoned climbers experience and appreciate the landscape, history and culture and often spend plenty of time with locals. . Probably much more than a one-time trekker.

Just because you can climb something, doesn't mean that you must. On a very very much smaller scale I chose not to climb Uluru in Australia, and you know what... I still feel some of the reverence which the local people have for it.

That’s such a beautiful comment ! Thank you so much for taking time to follow me. Lincoln was a special soul, I wasn’t expecting the emotional outpour when I got there, but the mountain just brought it all back x Your support is so much appreciated

All hail the Algorithm!

Never again ! Cheers Milan we certainly did have one hell of an adventure

What a fascinating message - thank you so much

A good question! Yes, but after a week or so you loose the amount or red blood cells Check out 14 Peaks on Netflix! Hope you can subscribe Ive lots more planned!

oxygen is at same level.. it is the atmospheric pressure that is low.

@@MajoIngram Ok whatever. People have a hard time breathing at high altitude. The people who climb Everest use bottled oxygen. If a plane loses cabin pressure at 30,000 feet, oxygen masks drop and they have to descend to 10,000 or everyone will perish. I don't know what to tell you.

Sherpas are like reliable cars that can run for really long. The rest of us are like gas guzzlers that burn out fast. They aren’t more athletic at sea level, they just have a higher endurance at high altitudes

I think at sea level they would feel like they're drowning

Your my hero Rob !!! We need to be on the road again! 😉

Cheers Adam ! Ive got a lot more planned accross different genres. Your subscribe is really appreciated!

Deuteronomy 11:16 KJV Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; 2 Timothy 3:13 KJV But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. lets analyse the lies through which are we daily deceived: lie: schools are of use (fact. schools keep slavery alive and stands for dumbing down the population of mankind) lie: moon and mars landings, (fact: even masons know they cannot leave - earth is closed system, unless you want to drown, there is no other place created for us to live in.) lie: news channels share truth (fact: these are for politic propaganda) lie: voting matters (fact: politic propaganda) lie: money has a value of its own (fact: it is just a tool of this world, which value has been agreed upon world wide, it should be not loved, only used as needed.) lie: NASA lies (globe and all....) (fact: NASA stands for TO DECEIVE and 2 members expose their own lies, one is still alive, the other (Wernher Von Braun) place a clear clue on his own gravestone) - you havn´t searched - have you? lie: the lgbtq++++ propaganda (fact: it is a part of masonry depopulation agenda, 500 000 000 souls, thats their goal - Georgia Guidestones! - who said it be worthy to forget?) lie: Evolution and the dinosaurs. (fact: mankind is not hybrid kind) to keep stating that there was an evolution, then we ain´t humans, we aint then mankind, we are then hybrids. Are you a hybrid? Lie: holidays (xmas, Halloween, new year eve and so on) (fact: PAGAN HOLIDAYS, to praise BAAL, the god of this world) lie: U.F.Os (fact: they are demons/evil spirits in high places, against whom we fight daily = spiritual warfare) lie: rules and laws rule the world (fact: signs and symbols of masonry do) lie: believe in being educated (fact: found daily living with the lack of knowledge) lie: religions are ways to heaven (fact: JESUS CHRIST is only way to heaven. Religions, no matter its name = masonic garbage) lie: our dead loved ones stay around to “ghost” (fact: hunting and ghosting is job of demons, not of humans. We, humans, come from GOD and return back to HIM and all the stories of having been seen a ghost - terrifying, scary, dark, cold - again no job of analysing been done here by you- right?) Lie: Humans have no immune system and we need vaccines as these save lives (fact: humans HAVE IMMUNE SYSTEM and vaccines are created for one or two purpose: to kill or to cripple. If you took all their poison shots then later in life comes all kinds of medical diagnoses = vaccines crippled you - remember that) lie: there is no GOD (fact: There is GOD, who redeems sinners and created us directly from the dust of the earth: Psalms 139:14 (KJV) I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.) to keep claiming that there is no GOD and we aint created directly from the dust of the earth, we soon run out logic, regardless to we place “evolution” in our claims or not and our dead, whats happening to them as they sleep in their graves? - they decay away, becoming the dust form which they were taken, if it ain`t so then we are simply reality deniers. lie: 911 was terror attack (fact: 911 was an inside job, meaning the work of your loved government) lie: TV watching is of use (fact: television (TV) = tell a lie vision, a weapon for our minds, keeping it under MK ULTRA) half lie/half truth: earth is a stage where everyone plays rolls (fact: earth is stage, a freemasonry checkerboard, where both side, black and white are masons and humans both in politics and regular souls = the naive public gets daily played) lie: children are government to raise (fact: children are parents to raise, it takes 2 to make them, it takes 2 to raise them). Lie: we live already in the matrix (fact: we live since birth in BABYLON which is to become “matrix” as Man - us, must merge with machine aka take the mark of the beast and then matrix aka false reality becomes to be 100%) lie: humans are not intelligent enough (fact: it is forgotten fact, we all are intelligent, many have suffered the illness from this world, being indoctrinated by masons, cause who give us the school system which we have? masons did, because they need slaves). Lie: love is low standard and = lust (fact love is high standard as love means> John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Lie> do what thy wilt there is no body who has the right to judge you (fact> GOD SHALL JUDGE YOU AFTER YOU HAVE DEPARTED ON EARTH and Christians are also called to give out righteous judgment, therefore repent * born again * go and sin no more) lie: slavery is over (fact: slavery was never over, it just changes a little as we are no longer buy`d or sold, still prepared through school systems for our future slavery, succumb to our slave lives based on our free will) lie: BIBLE is man written and a fairytale (fact: BIBLE is written by GOD, through man, bible is not fairytale. BIBLE IS: BASIC INFORMATION/instruction BEFORE LEAVING EARTH = BIBLE. A book - yes, book which we all need as it is only one filled with information and instructions we all need for life on earth. Lie: Miss beauty contests around the world is about beauty of FEMALES (fact: these contests are about beauty of MALES IN DRAG) lie: Medical “virus” known as COVID 19 (facts: real VIRUSES are in Hollywood and kept secret: - THE TTM virus = being tare, trans, mason. Lie: There is no truth, no right nor wrong and all is allowed as long as you are happy. (fact: truth is easy to find, search: BIBLE + FREEMASONRY and expose masons in masonry). 28 lies, should i go on?

Don’t forget we’ve just gone through several years of very high sun spot activity which has the same effect on melting ice and contributes more than anything else to the planets climate.

That word sums everything up I must use it sometime !

Thank you so much, it’s comments like this that drive me ! - I made a film about bike packing around Iceland. It was entirely shot on iPhone, but was driven by a real personal story over adversity It’s on my channel, I think you might appreciate it Hope you can subscribe, I’ve got tons more planned Once again, thanks for the comment

He said you probably pay 30 dollars a day MORE, on top of what you already paid for this trip. I looked it op (on the website of World Expeditions). It's about 2500 euros (because I'm in Europe it gives me the price in euros, but a dollar is not very different from a euro).

Those rich old Sherpas, eh.

Fantastic 🎉❤

Thanks for your support in following me - and so kind to ask, he was sick for sometime even in Ktm. But he is good now. You can’t play Russian Roulette with altitude ! Am now planning the next one - had so many positive comments like yours it’s certainly gets the ball rolling !

No, we were too far away from it unfortunately Thank you for taking time to watch my film. I hope you can subscribe. I’ve got lots more adventures planned even shooting a short film about my 10 tips for Everest base camp treck

@@KevinAugelloNewEarthFilms Yes, right, and thanks for the reply. From Base Camp location, looking up the valley towards where the ice-fall *_had been_* ... had it been visible? I thought it had been. So is that part of the drastic change? thanks much for your good efforts _and good work!_ cheers p.s. does rising temp increase / change threat of avalanches?

@@BenTrem42 I think avalanches can only be a byproduct of warming climate !

@@KevinAugelloNewEarthFilmsThinking this through ... I bet it has to do with variations. What had been frozen is no longer. And falls. On something else. Which is not longer firm. Ah-la decades ago me and mine warned about non-linearity and unpredictability. stay well!

@@KevinAugelloNewEarthFilmsI just found this. A fabulous view of the falls from Base Camp circa 1971. 37:34 ^5 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CSTkwMwRMi8.html#t=37m34s

Sorry, don’t understand the question

@@KevinAugelloNewEarthFilms my question is when you were showing us the view and talking about the drones, were you at a base camp. Were you there to do a climb?

@@KevinAugelloNewEarthFilms sometimes I have trouble articulating my words and don't ask things properly. I'm sorry about that

@@princessinmittens4783 no just a walk 😊

@@KevinAugelloNewEarthFilms oh okay. What a beautiful place to go for a walk. I'd be terrified to climb but even just being able to look up and see that in person would be enough for my heart to skip a beat

Thank you for such a stunning comment ! Tons more planned hope you can subscribe

You would have to ask the men filling the plane - perhaps Yacks ? 😉

@@KevinAugelloNewEarthFilmsNo - I hiked in to Lukla from Bupsa, at this low elevation only donkeys. The Yaks (in fact mostly Dzos, a hybrid betwen Yak and cattle) start at Lukla and even more at Namche. I still do not believe in refuelling at Lukla, the flight time from/to Ramechap is 20 mins each, it makes not much sense to refuel each 20 min. A few flights (maybe the last each day) go to Kathmandu (35 mins) even in Novemeber for servicing or whatever. If you are smart you can catch one at 40$ more for the ticket.

Thanks for watching I really hope you can do the treck ! Are used a solar power ( sunslice) in those conditions it worked fine and only weighed about a 100g - the solar panel was connected to a power bank Also, you can charge at lodges

@@KevinAugelloNewEarthFilms Thank U. Noted will order one.

That is a big question !!! I actually come from a broadcast background BBC and National Geographic - now you’ve got me thinking for a documentary for my channel !!!! I hope you can subscribe because now my brain cells are ticking!

Big carbon footprint going to Everest.

Well actually I do… I’m actually also a qualified geologist. There are many factors that contribute towards glacial melting. Position of Earth in relation to the Sun, volcanic activity on the planet etc etc - but there is a direct correlation between the carbon omissions in the last 250 years and global trends in the natural world. Glaicers across the planet are in rapid decline. This lake appeared in six years, which in geological time is nanosecond - is this directly linked to human activity impossible to give a black and white answer, but we certainly haven’t helped ! B

@@KevinAugelloNewEarthFilms You're probably familiar with this video if you're a geologist. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LmmmgiPha_Y.html. Our earth has been around about 4.5 billion years, temperatures fluctuate, look at the dinosaurs. That's life. Yes humans have accelerated the temperatures, look at the Romans early in 1CE the biggest polluters of the planet. We adapt, animals adapt or humans will find solutions or civilizations die out.

I can only but imagine. I hope my video also brought back memories. The world is changing rapidly, and so is Nepal
