Eating KFC Chicken Nuggets on MT EVEREST! Douglas: It took me a while to get to this vlog. If I could give you a thousand likes I would. This is one such trips I wish I had taken in my younger years and watching this made me yearn to travel again. This Vlog is wonderous and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. The views through your eyes and the narration from your heart, for me, makes it the best vlog in many years that I have watched. Thank you NOEL

I loved when I worked on Everest getting Logistics done for The Climbers. I was at base Camp when The 7. 8 Earthquake hit on April 25 2015 and was lucky to be alive after the Avalanches hit.
Saw a Boulder the size of a House Roll past me about 20 feet away at about 50 mph.
The Part of the Camp I was at survived many people Died that Sad Day.

Where men and women dare to rise
Spied Everest with so few eyes
A breath of wind, no breath inside
The Goddess in her sky of pride
Now count your fellows on one hand
The frozen time of that high land.
To return survived the only aim
A zeal named Hillary the first did claim.

I think it was a horrific decision to fly up with these amounts of clouds. I was wondering even before I saw the part where the clouds finally came in. There were way too many clouds earlier before. Not one single reasonable pilot from europe or the US would have done that.
reply

In a helicopter, the pilot sits in the right seat. The look of relief was on the passenger's face, not the pilot's.
As a mountaineer, I can tell you that un-acclimatized exposure to high elevation (hypoxia) produces effects very similar to severe alcohol intoxication.

reply

You're so lucky to have experienced that.
A little tidbit to share with you that probably nobody else cares about. The Englishman who the mountain was named for never visited it. He was named it in his honour, but the pronunciation of his name was Eave-rest.

reply

No oxygen used on board? Crazy! The locals are somewhat acclimatised but visitors need oxygen at 17, 378 feet. Otherwise they might have staggered into the tail rotor! What's up with the chicken nuggets? Should be drinking electrolyte water instead.
reply

I have NOT been to 18, 000 feet and that's SERIOUS altitude. I know from living in Colorado that altitude sickness can start at 7, 500 feet. Use that for perspective. I lived for about 5 years at about 8, 500 feet in the mountains in Colorado.
reply

You should had had with you a spare tank of oxygen. I went up to 15k ASL point in the Himalayas and I know how it felt to be choked and dizzy plus the clouds suddenly fogged the way out of nowhere. By the way, did you do La Paz airport before?
reply

Great video man! At times I thought it was a bit melodramatic but on the other hand, I've seen what can happen up there at base camp and at Lukla, so I can't say that you over dramatized it at all. Again, well done!
reply

13: 22 the man is just seeing thru the viewfinder on his phone and not recording it. I feel sorry for him. He's going to be surprised or disappointed when he wants to find it to view it, if he wants to.
reply

Based on the amount of fuel they pulled out of the storage Im gonna guess you guys were way over the useful load of that chopper its like 700 lbs in fuel cans alone assuming its 5 gal cans
reply

Your unforgettable Experience of base camp Mount Everest the views and the helicopter flight
And your fantastic Narration, was so enjoyable and of course envious, well done Noel Ivor an Irish

reply

People work with teams of physical trainers and nutritionist for years in order to get there bodies in peak condition to maybesurvive Everest. I could have guessed you were going to have issues.
reply

yep, if you don't spend DAYS acclimatizing to the altitude, you are in severe danger if you stay longer than a couple of minutes. we took 13 days to hike from Lukla too Base Camp
reply

I love this. I've lived in Colorado so have been to 12, 000 feet. It takes your breath away. I even worked about that high in Rocky Mtn National park in Colorado one summer.
reply

Watching the top up fuelling at Lukla gives a whole new meaning to the term hot refuelling!
The weather at Everest is unforgiving - not even flying with IFR is of use!

reply

Yeah. Helicopters and high altitude just dont mix. A better way to see Everest from the air is via Air China from Khatmandu to Gonngar. Just dont eat the on-board food.
reply

U get bullied in Alicante? U think yr better than those folk? All u did is take a privileged ride around the Himalayas in a chopper! Didnt climb Everest did you pal
reply
