Hey fellow /out/ists,

I'm going on an all expenses paid Himalayan hiking trip to the Everest base layer and back. 10 days hiking with some travel days thrown in.

I'm a fat fuck with bad lungs and I'll use this shit to get back into shape.

Anydoodles... all expenses paid so can you guys come up with a good
Gear list? Travel dates will be February/march 2018.

Hit me with the good shit! I don't want to die out there and money isn't a problem.

Get a good monocular. Great for scouting the path or observing wildlife from afar.

Things to look for in a monocular:
>Magnification
>Size of optics
>Fog proof
>Shock Proof
>Build Quality

If money truly isnt an issue, I reccomend the Bushnell Legendary 10x42. MSRP is like 300 dollars, but often sales for half that. Shop around.

Forgot to add waterproof. Most monoculars are water proof these days, but there are sneaky fuckers who try to skirt around it. All in all read the reviews of the product you are going to buy beforehand. You get what you pay for when it comes to optics (that and theres a lot of snake oil in it too).

Thank you for keeping the guide service in business, many of those folks are good people with great skills and a real passion for the outdoors. Fat fucking retards like you are the main reason everest guiders stay in business, and I for one salute you for it. Have fun on PooinLoo Mountain, and try to get some cool pictures while you get dragged in a single file line up to the summit!

You know REI posts recommended gear lists for those trips, right? Just follow that. For some trips they'll provide the tents and sleeping bags/pads etc, for some they might not.
Check what they recommend you bring and report back for actual /out/ recommendations.

Ok OP. Which one of these do you actually need help with? I wouldn't get the pants or jackets until you lose some weight. Go to /fit/ for advice on that.

Solid advice that. I need to lose like ~15 pounds and ill be golden. I think i can do that within the next 5 months slowly with better diet and a slightly increased level of base exercise.

I'm not like morbidly obese neckbeard fat, im more like "used to be in shape but enjoyed too much pot and beer" fat.

Yeah, no standing in the mountain line for me. I feel like that was cool maybe 50 years ago...

As the other anon pointed out, itll just be the basecamp and a fair bit of hiking to get there.

This whole thing was never on my "to do" list but I'm certainly not going to pass up the opportunity to check out the Himalayan mountains.

If I lie dying somewhere on the side of the road in a year, ill think of you and all the other anons as the sweet embrace of death finally comes. I'll think of this thread and all the good times we had.
