Everest Base Camp Gear List

By Mac 12 Comments

Just days away from my departure in search of Everest Base Camp I have started getting together all that will be accompanying me to the land of Earth's tallest peaks.

This will be my first time backpacking during the winter months and much of my gear has yet to be tested outside the small Japanese apartment where I currently hang my hat. I have been unable to discover a gear list online reflecting the same kind of trip that I have in mind for myself: a solo (camping?) winter trip without the use of a porter. That being said, I hear that finding gear in Nepal is incredibly easy (and cheap (and fake)).

NOTE: After returning from EBC I can tell you that a tent and sleeping pad are in no way required and I met no other people who were camping (there are villages everywhere).

Upon returning from Nepal I will follow this up with a more detailed version of this list including reports on how everything performed in the extreme cold and altitude I expect to encounter.

The weather report shows snow (which is apparently unusual this time of year) which means either extensive testing or, dare I say, no testing at all (either way it will be an adventure).
