Hey bro, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you making these videos. I am paralyzed from the waist down due to a mining work related injury. Since then I have spent years in and out of hospitals and nursing facilities after various surgeries and in that time I became fascinated by mountain climbing vids and documentaries (especially Everest ones). So cool to see all the gear, the costs, and even small explanations of the workings of all the equipment used to climb the world’s highest peaks. I will be tuning into all of your updates and I want you to know you have somebody rooting for you back in AZ, USA! You got this bro!

Amazing how fast that stuff adds up. Not a mountaineer, and will never need 99% of that stuff. I will say even investing in quality gear makes a huge difference. In this case more important when you consider you are putting your life on the line. For me, I used to by the cheapest stuff. "Oh that will do" Until I started developing issues with my shoulders and base of my neck. (partly due to age, and partly due to using crappy gear for so long) I finally invested in a good Osprey pack. It's been a Godsend. It fits like a glove, and totally takes the weight off my shoulders. The hip belt actually supports my back as well.

@@stevewomble2337 I was thinking of my now retired US Army husband who probably never used a belay before rappelling down what he always called bottomless crevasses during the 3 week Northern Warfare Training at Ft. Greely. Even at Air Assault he rappelled out of a helicopter after a short training. The whole course is only 2 weeks. I'll have to ask him how much he knew prior. Definitely see your point though. I'm curious how much training and prep followed what I think was this early video. And I'm curious if you have to rappel during a Denali climb. The whole process is well above my pay grade!

Cool to see all the gear and depressing at the cost of it all🤣🤣. You didn’t seem super sure about a lot of the gear or what you had actually bought/ the use for a lot of it. I assume whoever you booked with sent you a list of stuff to get? Did they send you specific brands and models of stuff to get? Don’t think I’ll ever do Everest nor be able to afford it but besides the mega high altitude clothing I actually seem to own it all besides the figure of 8 descender. Also just want to add it’s not great to store your expensive sleeping bags compressed like that. You only want to compress down sleeping bags when you need to pack them etc. keeping them compressed when stored for long periods of time can result in them not lofting as good when used meaning they don’t work as well as they should.
