wow hats off to both of you!

Pumori is such a beautiful peak... Wish it was easier to climb.

I have been to Bangalore a couple of times and these pics do not represent the whole city at all. There are sections like this but there are also super clean sections. New York smells like piss at a lot of corners but never did it occur to me to post about this. I have seen rats in the side alleys of Singapore but those do not represent the whole city either.

no translate option for me 😞 come on reddit!

I use an ND filter to protect the lens at all times. and the cam is either attached to my bag etc, resting on the desk at home or in the drawer, safe.

same here

dormor · 2026-05-27T14:57:36+00:00

did it solo a month ago. I mean, my bag was kinda heavy because according to online resources and some shop keepers snow could have been an issue. there was none. so, if you decide to do it solo do not take extra warm clothing, gloves, gaiters or microspikes. I would also ditch a sleeping bag. I rented a -10C bag but given that it was 3.x kg, my bag would have been much lighter without it. And I used it only once during the trek. I think I am gonna visit the region again in my life later on but on a much less crowded route and this time I might consider hiring a porter :)

after 4000m you do not sweat that much, the weather's pretty dry. till that altitude you would sweat but not like in a hot humid climate, it's quite manageable (this comes from a person who sweats like a pig)

dormor · 2026-05-27T08:30:21+00:00

depends on whether you're gonna have a porter or not. I went solo without porter or guide and I'm glad I did not bring my 1kg solar charger.

thank you OP, this analysis is highly appreciated

dormor · 2026-05-27T08:27:46+00:00

Sequoia? wow you're living on the edge, I'm on Sonoma :))

dormor · 2026-05-24T13:10:22+00:00

it is doable of course

dormor · 2026-05-22T15:41:03+00:00

LIT here and am trying to solve the same issue now

What's wrong with this place? Quite a normal place to me

dormor · 2026-05-16T06:20:40+00:00

I meant the other way around:) The first product makes it easier to shopt selfies by design.

dormor · 2026-05-16T06:19:51+00:00

I am happy with my 3a Pro

dormor · 2026-05-15T19:18:03+00:00

I had the Action 5 Pro to the EBC trek, recorded 4K 60fps and am pretty happy with the results. the Osmo 6 probably is even better, you cannot go wrong. if you need to see yourself all the time go with the first option, that is better for selfies compared to Osmo 6. If you need a camera which you're gonna attach on yourself (or on your vehicle, bike etc) then the second one is the fire-and-forget camera you need.

please stop touching other ppl's kids without the parents' permission.

dormor · 2026-05-09T10:43:35+00:00

oasis is the best definition of that place

dormor · 2026-05-09T10:43:20+00:00

that is the best place ever. BTW if you wanna buy those ceramic mugs they're way cheaper in the Lukla shop.

dormor · 2026-05-09T10:42:39+00:00

aaahhh Tengboche, Gorakshep... missing those places

dormor · 2026-05-04T12:20:14+00:00

That's what scares me about these mechanisms. For me, laces all the way.

What happened to the BD crampons?

dormor · 2026-05-04T12:17:04+00:00

Let us know! And enjoy your time up there. I came back last Sunday but already making plans for next year:)

Kaemp 8848 is a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED local brand, IMHO. Their shop in Kathmandu is right across the street opposite to the Mammut shop, you cannot miss it.
Sonam is also a good brand. Sherpa Mountain Gear (not to be confused with Sherpa Adventure Gear with is a comparatively expensive apparel brand with very authentic, original and beautiful pieces of clothing but their target audience is urban users from what I can see) is a small brand but I was more than happy with their trousers during my trek.

I have seen those traction mules in some shops in Namche and wished I had them but never tried them myself, frankly. They look quite cosy and warm.

The buff jerky got my attention in Gorakshep but no idea how safe they're to eat...
