BASIC MOUNTAINEERING COURSE / HMI / Everything you need to know about BMC - Part 1

[@princecrokx]

Hey Purvi first of all a heartiest congratulations for completing your bmc course Now coming to the main point I occasionally search for HMI bmc video which is to be uploaded recently and i came across this and trust me I enjoyed it fully It was a perfect combination of information, scenary, humorous etc The random memes made it even more interesting and the view of those gold capped mountain peaks at base camp was damn unbelievable even for a moment Nevertheless difficult roads often leads to beautiful destination and trekkers are well averse with this quote So looking forward for your next part And yes please do include the do's and don'ts which need to be followed before going for bmc Good luck 🔥

[@tailormadechaos]

Hey Prince! Thankyou so much for enjoying the video! The goal was to be informative and entertaining at the same point and glad You liked it!:) thankyou for the kind words!:)

[@shristilama6126]

[@bhagyachoudhary4797]

This is one of the best videos I've ever watched. So beautifully made and I had tears in my eyes watching all the challenges we have gone through and still crave for more. Do you remember purvi when I said " I'm done with the mountains" actually it was the BEGINNING. Thank you for your time and this great work. Love, Bhagya

[@tailormadechaos]

Hahah! I do remember! “ i am so done with mountains” ! But gald we shared this amazing time together! All of us

[@Jester805]

Great video. Love the humor you threw in there. It’s missing from most videos. Great job!

[@rainijunaidrj]

Meticulously made, it's refreshing to see everything from the eye of the lens this is a super dope video purvi no Namrata no soni (wait I think a girl with four names is the best fit ) I loved it, at one point it was a very emotional moment I was able to retrospect and connect the dots, 💙💙💙💙💙💙 can't wait for another part if you plan, looking after this video I have planned I will make my video too this clip has boosted my morale up. Super grateful to have people like you in life keep it up purvi much love from this end ⛰️⛰️⛰️💙 to many more mountains and mountain every mountaineer has a journey.

[@Gauravmann]

Your personality comes out through memes and editing, and I love it. Planning to do BMC soon , would love to stay in touch. On the website it just give an application form do we have to post it or is there a way to apply online?

[@tailormadechaos]

Thankyou so much! The idea was to have fun while doing BMC and also while making the video, glad you enjoyed! You can follow me on Instagram on “tailormadechaos” And, You have to post the application physically via good courier services. (Along with the medical tests xerox and medical form filled and signed by MBBS doctor, also the screenshot of the fees paid via any mode you select) i did via Blue Dart. Hope this helps!

[@Gauravmann]

@@tailormadechaos thanks 😀. What grade did you recieve? How hard is it to get A grade, hiw many got it? Asking because to do AMC you need an A in BMC

[@tailormadechaos]

@@Gauravmann received A. You need to be determined and disciplined. Put your 100% and your good for AMC!:)

[@Gauravmann]

@@tailormadechaos Congrats on the A. May our paths cross on some trek.

[@ankit.banjaraa]

Hi, you really have good video editing skills. Hats off to you for finishing the BMC course. I am set to join the November-December 2024 BMC batch at HMI. Wanted to know the specs (or URL/brand) of the shoes (hiking and running) you were using during the trek? Also, did you feel any issues trekking with just 1 trekking pole, would you suggest using two or one is just fine?

[@tailormadechaos]

@@ankit.banjaraa hey Ankit. I didn’t like my trekking shoes. They weren’t comfortable. But i They were from Decathlon. Buy now and break in those shoes. Wear them as much as u can before the BMC to avoid shoe bite. I did not felt that I needed two trekking poles at any given point. But to each their own. Few of my fellow friends were carrying two and they were doing fine too.

[@gouthamkarthik8868]

Hey I'm also set to join the November - December 2024 BMC batch at HMI and was having the same question as well

[@juliandolman9550]

Fantastic little edit.. 👌

[@mieszkoplays]

Amazing documentary, can't understand why u don't have 10k subs❗️❗️❗️

[@tailormadechaos]

Working on it!

[@TheRedPillExperience]

Wonderful

[@kashmiridutta6109]

Can't wait to see tbe 2nd part of your journey in HMI BMC. Best video ever on BMC@ HMI Was this an all women's group? I am also going to apply for BMC at HMI but really confuse Wheather to apply for all women batch or mix batch? Can you please suggest?

[@tailormadechaos]

Hey Kashmiri! yes mine was all women group but we ended up with boys group at the basecamp. Our courses were merged due to covid rescheduling. Honestly, You can go in any, doesn't make any difference, mountains treats everyone same,( no gender in mountains). I would suggest take the first course which has seats available, and Go for it! Best of luck :)

[@PierreFarrugia]

Very good video

[@juliuspradhan]

[@anweshapahan2921]

Do we have to carry test reports along with medical form during reporting time? I'm literally confused about this my course in on oct this year

[@singlefoodie6203]

❤

[@ankit.banjaraa]

Congratulations on finishing your BMC. I too applied for the same for the Nov-Dec 2024 batch, and its been about 15 days that they have received my application (on 27Dec23). I had a question, how long do they take to reply and accept your Application formally?

[@anweshapahan2921]

3 days ago i got my confirmation letter for oct...i waited 2 months, some even received theirs after 4 months so wait little more

[@ankit.banjaraa]

@@anweshapahan2921 Thank you.

[@pratimayayavar]

Please let me know how to apply in HMI?🙏

[@ankit.banjaraa]

Its a simple process, a form needs to be filled, along with Medical test (a separate form available on the HMI website) and a copy of your ID proof and your Educational qualification proof.

[@jinalnihalani2989]

Hi, thank you for sharing your experience, I’m willing to apply for the BMC I would like to have an opinion as which month would be best for this course May or November.

[@kantasoni6897]

wonderful parud of you

[@joyjitsinha610]

Hey there, what is the rain jacket that you are using? The blue one

[@tailormadechaos]

Hi, it’s provided by HMI

[@mailingmuthu]

what is the language medium of education? only hindi or in english?

[@cannothelpitout]

Hey can someone tell what all did you buy from decathlon and carried to camp?

[@tailormadechaos]

tailormadechaos.com/blog/travel/basic-mountaineering-course-what-to-carry-all-about-gear-and-clothes/

[@tailormadechaos]

This is my blog on things to carry. Have a read. Hope it helps

[@cannothelpitout]

​@@tailormadechaos I read it all thanks for the blog. Just two doubts. Does HMI provide us trekking pole or you have to buy it? And how do u use toilets or dispose off sanitary pads? Any advice for girls

[@tailormadechaos]

HMI don’t provide trekking poles, although you can buy them at store in the campus. For periods, i recommend period cups as they are more eco friendly. But, i have stayed in those cold winters and the bathroom does not have water facilities, so sanitary pads are better, you will have dustbin to throw them.

[@Maverick0111]

Hi..do hostel fees are included in the given amount of course?

[@tailormadechaos]

Hi! Yes it’s included.

[@Yashistravelling]

Hahahaha this is me right now full power bhaag milka

[@traavelfreak4263]

Noiceeee 😻

[@rachnasharma5201]

Hey! I have a doubt .Can u plss tell me who will countersign in risk certifiacte form while applying for bmc

[@tailormadechaos]

Hey, usually for risk certificate you need a signature from a parent or guardian. But it is best to ask the institute as it varies between institutions and overtime. Enjoy the struggles of BmC while they last you will miss them later!:)

[@legainnamchyo4836]

Also what time of year did you go for Youksom?

[@tailormadechaos]

Our course was in November.

[@atharvakarajkar]

what time does it take to get the confirmation about the application after sending the speed post?

[@tailormadechaos]

15 days max.

[@atharvakarajkar]

It's been more than a month and I haven't received the confirmation. What should I do now? I've mailed them about this and they said After doing all the process they will send the confirmation but it's been a month to this

[@tailormadechaos]

@@atharvakarajkar ours was extra batch and it was right after covid, so probably thats why it was faster, but you shall get it the next week am sure. Dont worry!

[@anweshapahan2921]

​@@atharvakarajkar3 days ago i got my confirmation letter i waited 2 months so maybe wait for some time more

[@atharvakarajkar]

@@anweshapahan2921 Thank You so much! I just checked it after reading your reply. Even I got my confirmation mail

[@Maverick0111]

Wht to do when being a girl is under periods undef such course?

[@tailormadechaos]

Nothing. Its normal. All of my batchmates got their periods during this one month. Me as well. It’s normal, if you have horrible cramps, carry the necessary meds with you. But you never stop moving during this one month!:)

[@abhinavanand6407]

Hi....after how many days,HMI send course confirmation details.? ..it has been 20 days after sending post .

[@tailormadechaos]

Around a month approx. you shall get email soon!:)

[@ankit.banjaraa]

I received the confirmation letter just today and it was mentioned to bring 5 copies of 2nd Dose vaccination. Is this mandatory, or is there any alternative to this?

[@tailormadechaos]

They can ask for it, rules can change, I recommend to keep it with you.

[@cannothelpitout]

Same they asked me do we need second dose of TT vaccine?

[@ankit.banjaraa]

​@@cannothelpitoutI confirmed over the phone. They were trying to say that everyone has taken Covid vaccine, but i insisted that it wasn't compulsory. So, finally they agreed that you can bring a fit and fine certificate before coming. Which batch you are going for?

[@cannothelpitout]

@@ankit.banjaraa got it COVID vaccination is done. I'm going for BMC 363 in May

[@ankit.banjaraa]

​@@cannothelpitout Once you are done with it, please let me know if COVID vaccination alternative is acceptable, and what's that alternative? Would greatly appreciate the help.

[@faisalsaifudeen]

Fees structure?

[@jishudas5182]

What was the physical fitness test on arrival ? Can you give details pls?

[@tailormadechaos]

If you have watched the video, i have mentioned the first week they access your fitness and than Pandem Trekk is your final physical test.

[@legainnamchyo4836]

[@tailormadechaos]

Sure! -ENT -ECG -Blood tests (mentioned in the medical form) -Sugar test -Eyes test And then take the reports, go to your general MBBS Dr, get it duly filled, signed and stamped. Hope this helps
