I hope you enjoy this video. Ever since I watched Brady's video about 10 years ago this has been in my mind. I'm grateful Brady was cool with me recreating it. If you're a Patron of Smarter Every Day, go check this post! I'll attach some of my film photos from the hike to it. I'm grateful to everyone who supports!

My mom, who worked in radiology and diagnostic imaging for cancer patients, once told me about how her company was looking into new technology for some process. I couldn't tell you what it was specifically. But it was developed by some third party, and then they sent it over. And her people just couldn't reproduce it. It didn't work. Turned out that the process relied on boiling water (or, rather, not boiling it) around 100°C, but it was developed on the east coast, and my mom worked in Denver. The difference in boiling point was enough to ruin the process and it had to go back to development. Perhaps the science in this video isn't flashy. But it's still important.

I remember going down a 45° gravel slope in six foot steps because one of the group members got altitude sickness pretty bad.

Even the guides that went up dozens of times sometimes still get it.

@jake8687 3 дня назад

For a little bit of real world context, this altitude/temperature relationship means that at 6700ft where I live it takes longer to cook things in water. Things like dried pasta and boiled eggs can take 3 minutes or more to cook as compared to lower elevations. This also can wreak havoc on your baking recipies because the water can boil off too soon making your baked goods dry or even making whatever you are baking rise before it has properly set up causing it to collapse later.

Wow, that was great! I summitted Kilimanjaro in 2017 with two friends. Because we were such a small group, our trip to the summit was done with only our two guides. The porters stayed in camp. We were unfortunate in that our entire trek to the summit was in a snow storm. We arrived prior to sunrise, but due to the storm we were not able to experience it. It still was an amazing experience. When we got to the park exit the following day, we were told that very few had made it to the summit during the storm. I believe that I was the oldest (I was 66 at the time). Thanks for reawakening some great memories. Now I have to go look at my pictures.

15000ft has the same effect on your blood oxygen as having COPD - a common smoking related lung condition.

@Krunked 4 дня назад

ah i guess i never realized that, at these elevations where the boiling point is lower, the water will never reach a temp higher than that boiling point. im not sure why but i never thought about it, i thought the water itself could continue to get hotter. maybe it can via steam or some sort of superheating. but just normal boiling it doesnt raise above the boiling point (sounds so obvious saying it aloud haha)

@jerotoro2021 4 дня назад

Yes! It's because changing state from liquid to gas is an endothermic reaction, it takes energy to do. So every gas bubble that's created reduces the heat energy by just a little bit, and the temperature balances itself at the boiling point. If you turn up the flame and add more heat, that only makes it boil more violently, but the temperature will never go higher than the boiling point. But you can get hotter liquid water by heating it in a sealed pressure vessel, because boiling point increases as the pressure builds.

@marsovac 4 дня назад

Boiling means turning to gas. That cools since it takes energy away. Same happens to your skin when your sweat evaporates. It is a heat transfer mechanism. If it didn't the world as we know it would not exist.

@andrewfleenor7459 3 дня назад

A similar thing happens with melting ice. When you add heat, it turns from 0C ice to 0C water. But ice can't exist at higher than 0C (at room pressure). This is why a mix of ice and water, and I believe water and steam, can be used as a reliable temperature reference (except for the pressure thing ;P)

Major respect to the guides and Porters. You may hear about people summiting Everest or other mountains but these people get them up and down and all their stuff daily. They are amazing!

There are many people on this earth working, doing stuff with no fanfare. They´re lucky to get some fanfare. Sub 6000 is a walk in the park really.

Please don't get the summit bug and attempt Everest. It's way to dangerous and would hate to see anything happen to you.

Chimborazo is better. Plus there is a great flood story there too.

I love the photography, the story telling, the music, the edition, the knowledge and experience sharing, the couple, the journey, your gratitude and commitment, I love everything about this video Destin. Congratulations and thank you! You are a legend and a big inspiration dude, thank you! 🎉🎉

Now that we've been back and forth, I've come to the conclusion, that Destin understands his audience very well. We prefer titles and thumbnails with added beard, and yet, he does not over-do it with extreme words like "mustache", which could scare off potential subscribers. Perfectly balanced. Edit: Wait... What are you doing. Where has the beard gone?

LOL. Believe it or not this one performs better?

I’ve been waiting for this episode since listening the “No Dumb Questions”. Your channel is my absolute favorite and I am always excited to see what topic you will be discussing. It was great putting faces to what I heard on the podcast and the relationship you built with the guides and porters.

What I find crazy is solar panels and a CCTV camera are up there 🤣

Yeah, on safari on the Serengeti we had internet and wifi in the camp. Blew my mind.

I did a study on correcting wheat falling number, which involves boiling water, to a standardized elevation. It’s a test that’s performed at various elevations throughout the US. We did it in a hypobaric chamber at US Army Natick Soldier Systems Center in Natick MA. They have a full size hypobaric chamber people have worked in for weeks(?) on end. Very friendly staff, if you want to do any future work with elevation.

I've been watching your videos for some time now and they never cease to amaze me. This one was particularly interesting because though I have no desire whatsoever to climb mountains, for some unknown reason I do enjoy watching others do it. Thank you for the IMI info, I will definitely check them out. With all the mind numbing garbage on the internet it's great to be able to find stuff I can actually learn from and be entertained at the same time. Congratulations to you and your wife on reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro. Thank you for sharing this adventure and the lessons learned from it. God bless you and thank you.

18:20 This is a super important point. Doesn't matter what you're doing, doesn't matter your athleticism. You need to be cognizant of your heart rate, your target heart rate and the trend over time. Time. Don't care if you're walking up a hill or Kilimanjaro or moving bricks in the yard. You can't run your body at redline like that, especially as you get older.

Cool guide you've got there 😎

@user-jy7vc8hq9o 3 дня назад

I have been watching your videos for more than a decade now. I've grown alongside your content, and this is the first time I think I've ever commented. I just want to say thank you for your hard work in creating content that matters now more than ever, for your passion in sharing what interests you, and for your teaching style. Your videos are always either emotional or inspiring, with a touch of fun. Thank you really! I'll check out IMI because content like this is the only thing that matters and should be preserved on this platform.

How in the world did someone make a video about boiling water that I WANTED to see?

@Trickards1 3 дня назад

One of the greatest trips I ever had was summiting Kili in 2016. I will always remember the kindness of the guides and porters in helping us reach our goal.

@TheRealTobias 8 часов назад

Shout out for the music in this video! It underlined the adventurous character of the trip, and some good old Shell In The Pit at the end made it perfect. Thank you for the thoughtful content you're creating!

25:16 people don’t understand the downhill is more rough because you are not used to that type of physical exertion. You think it’s the same as stepping up when you do your workout. It isn’t.

Destin, I always enjoy your videos, informative and entertaining. This one is somewhat personal to me as I noted this phenomena when I moved from Orange County California (Essentially sea level) to Castle Rock, CO (just over 6,500 feet) My tea pot would not turn off when set to 200 degrees, but the water was boiling. Turns out water's boiling point at this elevation is about 199.6 degrees. This also points out the fallacy of the Celsius' metric being freeze at 0 degrees and boil at 100 degrees. Only true if you are at sea level.

As me, being a firefighter, I think you should definitely explain the reason about the limit of how high you can pull up water with a pump vs pushing it. Great relations to this video and the pressure vs boiling point. Even after knowing this fact for years, it’s still blows my mind.

Seeing Blacktail Studio at the beginning of the IMI ad blew my mind. I don't watch that many channels and I don't add subscriptions very often. I've been watching you and Cam for years. I guess I watch thoughtful creators that make quality content. thanks
