Darklight Posted April 11, 2013 I reckon it would be fair enough to ask a mod to edit this thread so it stays on-topic. No objection to my posts being removed for this purpose People trying to make travel plans need clarity 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
incognito Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) No objection for mine either. Sucked to see biggys planning be so nastily sabotaged. He is deadset one of the most friendliest people on this forum. Edited April 11, 2013 by incognito 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

space cadet swami Posted April 11, 2013 I have found that these are type of guys that will have other things out of focus too. I'm surprised no one else has noticed but, what does, "these are type of guys" mean..? Ore is dat gud grandma..? By the way "red", if I could make it happen, I'd be there in a heartbeat mate... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
space cadet swami Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) I'm lost to the reasoning of what someones literary skills have to do with their ability to climb mountains. eg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenzing_Norgay Belittleing another person seems only to serve the purpose of propping up ones own ego gratification. Where is the LOVE ?? Edited April 11, 2013 by space cadet 101 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coin Posted April 11, 2013 why the confusion? thelema became a troll (?) sad that his brain decayed in such a way... (not really) Maybe he's just sad. I've said it before - Thel needs some major hugs. Hugs for your mean egotistical sarcastic sentiment - hugs for your awake at weird AM hours - hugs for your feelings of disconnectedness. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bigred Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) Ok guys we are getting some good numbers, so we will probably go to Nepal and Hire a Sherpa. Trust me it will be much better then heading up through the Indian border and a lot of the people has expressed there lack of climbing abilities. So im thinking just do light climbs and more treking and strain hunting . The thing with an adventure is really you never really stick to the plan it just unfolds along the way Thelma peace be with you bro!! I hope you are feeling ok and things are going well for you edit no need to delete further posts Edited April 11, 2013 by bigred82 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bigred Posted April 22, 2013 So to the people that want to come your going to have to be able to carry food and water for ten days. There are streams along the way so it more you need to be able to treat it . I have decided that we will hire a sherpa to guide us through a mountain track ten days return . It will be pretty hot so make sure you have your gear suited for that . Will look into travel insurance the post ofice has then pretty cheap no biggy. We will go in the month of april as it is the best time to go as the flowers are in full bloom and its not freezing cold and pissing down rain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
endorfinder Posted April 22, 2013 I've just got home and jumped out of the shower after my first trip to the gym in months. Gonna make this thing happen. Is there enough water in general along the way for these things to be much use? http://www.lifestraw.com.au/ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bigred Posted May 13, 2013 Good to see im training as well a good trick is just get used to carrying a pack . You might look like a wierdo in the gym but carrying a backpack on the treadmill is great training. plus you need to learn how to purify drinking water . I use a special bottle with a filter built in it plus a few iodine tablets . well endorfinder there is room for you in my tent its a four man but three is high as i go. Have you got your kit ready its good to share what we take to lighten the load . By this i mean we all list what our packs will take for personal and communal items . so when we get there we are not lugging round shit we dont need . Just remember it is going to be hot there so losing body fluid salts can be a problem 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bigred Posted May 13, 2013 student flights at uni will do the tickets for 1800 thai air return witch is pretty good and we can extend it while over there for a bit extra and then probably 300 a week to spend on crap. It is actually a pretty cheap holiday plus if anyone wants to come to Vietnam in September October let us know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghosty Posted May 13, 2013 as far as cleaning the water goes, is iodine the best way? what about thoseUV light systems? good to see you all are getting organised for this trip. a great idea indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
