Thank You! I used my Outdoor Research thin softshell jacket between the light down and base layer. Short sleeve baselayer, long sleeve base layer plus softshell was my “action” suit and if it got colder I layered up with the down.
I did the Three Passes Trek in November '21 with a 30 Liter pack. I did not bring a sleeping bag, because there are plenty of thick blankets available at the teahouses. My baseweight was just a smidge over 4 kilos. I guess I’m just a lazy guy who doesn’t want to carry unnecessary heavy sh*t lol.

Your video is just about perfect what comes to chosen gear.Why? Simply because your gear was practically exactly what I have on my EBC treks. Some details: - Shoes: I have been there 3 times using only old trainers or later trail runners. No need for boots. - Trekking poles: I use them 100% of the time. 90% of people carrying poles do not know how to use them efficiently, starting with wrapping the straps correctly, 90% do it wrong and loose half of the efficiency right from the start. - Water bottle: I also carry just one Nalgene and even that is half empty most of the time. Why carry water when there are teashops almost every 30 minutes the whole way. Besides drinking a lot af water does not help acclimatisation, it is a misunderstanding. Drink when thirsty. - Softshell jacket: Yes, take a light one, you will wear it most of the time. Hardshell (I have the same as you...) I wore once in 4 weeks, on a windy pass. Need to have it just in case, but if lucky not much use. - Jogger pants or similar light padded ones: really nice to have in lodges, if using porters the weight does not matter. - Sleeping bag: no need for 0F/-20C bag anymore. 20F/-7C is good enough supplemented with blankets for the few coldest nights.

Thank you for the feedback! So funny, I thought the same about people using “their” hiking poles :)) Regarding the 0 degrees bag, that is a good/safe choice just in case it gets very cold higher up, but you are right you can get away easily with a less warm bag. I am glad to hear that you are totally fine with your trail runners. Have you ever got cold in it those 3x you have been up there?

Hi, you mentioned 0 F° selleping bag will be enough. Is it the comfort rating or extreme?
@HungaroExplorer
Жыл бұрын
Very good question! Usually when I have the chance to choose, I go with the comfort level not the extreme rating. Of course it all depends on where you go and when you go. To tell you the truth I had a 0 degree bag (comfort rating) and sometimes I was hot sleeping. But as I mentioned in the video I had to sleep at Lobuche High Camp at 17k feet elevation, so it was really important a good bag. I hope this helps!
