TeeJay Posted March 16, 2012 Report Posted March 16, 2012 Heres to your Summit Hike Wearing my Explorer in your honor until you reach the top There's an idea, I'm going to do the same
Jkay Posted March 17, 2012 Report Posted March 17, 2012 Good luck. I know we won't hear from you for weeks, now ... I forget if the hike from the nearest town to the first base camp is one week or two weeks.
jmb Posted March 17, 2012 Report Posted March 17, 2012 I'm in for wearin' the Explorer, too! Lemme fish it out... F, thank you for doing a little "living" for all of us - wish I had the stones to try something like that!!! Have fun and stay safe.
lhooq Posted March 17, 2012 Report Posted March 17, 2012 Climb ev'ry mountain... Good luck and Godspeed, F! You make all of us proud!
Buddalondon Posted March 17, 2012 Report Posted March 17, 2012 The top of the world!! Now that's an adventure. Good luck fella.
cougar1 Posted March 17, 2012 Report Posted March 17, 2012 Best of luck Hike, whatcha wearing? it's funny there was a re-edition of the smiths everest not so long ago, nice watch, worth considering over the explorer which didn't make it to the top apparently (but had better marketing) http://www.wristwatchreview.com/2012/02/05/the-smiths-everest/
pizzanooo Posted March 17, 2012 Report Posted March 17, 2012 Good luck my friend, be safe and keep us posted.
slask111 Posted March 17, 2012 Report Posted March 17, 2012 Wow now this is an adventure. Respect to all that actually live out their dreams. We only have one life, make the most out of it. Good luck, i really wish you make it!! And a wristie from the montain pls.. i mean how can we beat that? Looking forward to se what will be named the Everest watch. And for you who are at home.. watch this and fulfill your dreams!
hiker01 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Posted March 18, 2012 Updatd.....got into HK for quick plane change.....now in BKK waiting for flt to kathmandu, should be there by noon. And for those wondering about the Everest watch????? It's watches folks..... The Casio Protrec is an obvious choice, and the backup.....Corum ACC... I want something low key(not a magnet to the bad guys), but could handle the rough environment and have a descent lume for those nights when you need to know the time....
Lemmy Caution Posted March 18, 2012 Report Posted March 18, 2012 Congratulations for making the decision to go - can't wait to hear about the journey!
ta8088 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 Oh wow! That's awesome Hike. Can't wait to see some pics and hear abou the adventure. Be safe up there.
cib0rgman Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 Good luck. I know we won't hear from you for weeks, now ... I forget if the hike from the nearest town to the first base camp is one week or two weeks. I think they do a whole month going up little by little to adjust to the altitude; this is an amazing journey and dangerous too
Jkay Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 I think they do a whole month going up little by little to adjust to the altitude; this is an amazing journey and dangerous too What I meant was that it is a two week walk from the town to the mountain.
hackR Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 @Floyd...is there a blogger or a tour group that will be chronicling the expedition?...if so, please shoot us the link...hoping so...will be fun to keep track of your progress...all the best, my friend...R
