Kara and Nate you two are truly inspirational

[@gardensofthegods]

I'm so glad the music in this Everest vids is wonderful because the music can really make or break a video .

[@arthasurya3434]

since you both love coffee so much (I do), how about world coffee tour after this covid clears up?

[@nakofitv]

I guess I’m too late 🤥

[@REDRAGON12345]

I feel like this is the first "hardest thing" Nate says he's done, knowing all the intense physical things he and Kara do in the next years!

[@emilyholcomb7016]

literally got emotional when Nate told Kara he was proud of her, MY HEART

[@rebeccapearce311]

Oh me too! They are SO good to one another - #couplegoals for sure!

[@joannhempen8210]

Still binge watching! I’m so invested in this amazing couple. I love how much I’ve watched them grow. The editing has gotten better. They are more comfortable on camera. Just so interesting! I’m so glad I have this to watch since we are stuck at home!

[@hairyscotman]

I am so thankful I ran across this....at 65, I won't be doing this and YOU took me there!!! THANK YOU!!! the YAKS!!!! my favorite!

[@tchin2020]

I’m 66 and am going to retire in a few months and I hope to get in shape for the Sept-November 2020 window to EBC... it will be a dream come true, like running the Marathon, EBC is my Marathon...these videos inspire me to make the effort and thank god it won’t be a marathon to get to EBC....you guys did a great job..amazing...thanks for a detail vlog of your trip

[@MsCissyBlue]

@@M1cko33 So great to see your comment. I turn 65 in just a few days, it's 5 a.m., I've been awake for hours! The greater the challenge, the greater the rewards! Right? haha

[@lindafett1826]

Kara and Nate has me hooked with there vlogs

[@paulsuprono7225]

ME TOO . . . me too !

[@Ken-oq3js]

@@MsCissyBlue loved the Rockies, loved the Alpines, love to see Everest, wish I had thought about and acted on this when I was their age.

[@Breatheintomeandmakemereal]

Im so happy yall made it and got to see a clear view of Everest! Amazing! And Im so glad your guide is so nice!

[@KaraandNate]

💪😁

[@leightondavies8884]

Brings back some amazing memories! I still feel emotional when I remember our guides words ‘ now my friend, turn around’ as the sun came over Everest - view of a lifetime !!!!

[@theresaadalynbullion3974]

So beautiful!!! Love seeing your adventures. Sooo amazing! Love the way Nate loves Kara! Kara is sooo brave!

[@allanmoore4840]

Great job filming in the midst of physical adversity......wonderfully done!

[@givenfree7277]

Nate ask the watch company to sponsor your & Kara's trip, you have been giving them a lot of free exposure...

[@ColouredPixels]

Given Free and snickers

[@shivenGhale]

snickers too!

[@0818bsalinas]

@@shivenGhale I went to the website they should actually feature the series on the website but theyre not. I think they did an amazing time and the fact that so many videos were made in that trek and yes they need snickers lol

[@alemran7587]

I am fan of you both. Stay blessed

[@ARios-up1dc]

No words to describe how amazing I think you two are!

[@Hobistrawberryberry]

I NEVER in my life ever wanted or cared to go to Nepal and climb Everest until I saw this. You both are amazing and have definitely inspired me to go places I never thought I would. God bless you both and thank you.

[@wadetonkin]

Props to Kara for making it up. That climb is no joke, especially early when it's cold. We did it in the afternoon when we had the sun and it was rough, but the cold wasn't a factor.

[@englishrose4388]

That first hike-absolutely breath taking.

[@cadenyoung9968]

Seems like Nepal really has some good infrastructure in terms of tea houses and such. I haven’t seen y’all skip a meal on the hike yet. In an American National Park, it might be a fire with a hot dog 😂

[@azianberry]

didn't anyone tell u? those hot dogs are for anal pleasures. u have to ask for the food seperately.

[@planb1635]

There were small villages even before tourism started. The trek mostly follows an ancient trading route.

[@taramcfarland3014]

If you're lucky!

[@daansteeman5227]

Hi K&N I can now tell you from expirience... It takes about 6 years to go back and want to do the hike again :). I did your exact trek in 2019 (even had Sonam as my guide as well! If you're reading this Sonam. You're an awesome guide, I can only hope to trek with you again!) And I'm now debating to go in 2025 to EBC and then island peak, wich will be my first time over 6000m (or anything above 5550m at Kala Patthar ;))

[@Max50ww]

Check out the attitude on Kara! Amazing. If i brought my girlfriend to face adversity like this she would have been biting my head off at EVERY OPPORTUNITY. In one of the first videos that you guys posted where you opened the door to the bedroom where you were going to stay I thought to myself "OH Kara is going to be PISSED" What a trooper! I wish I could find a Kara!

[@actsrv9]

Kara did cartwheels near Everest base camp. She has to be fit like a pro athlete.

[@os9234]

This guy is really lucky to get Kara.. bt if u bring your girlfrienf for trek in this region you will also get to see some part of positivity and sweetness in your gf.

[@Royalpaininbum]

I had no idea the accommodation was so good. The way you guys did this trip has convinced me that the trip is doable. Thank you

[@miukkium]

kara does look more more cheerful after coffee and tea 😂

[@rachadventuresinliv]

Congratulations Kara & Nate So inspiring, I'm truly enjoying going back in time. I was suggested to do this watch from the beginning as a therapeutic exercise. Happy to report it is helping my mental health healing journey. I've physically health wise been having set backs but I'm pushing through. One day at a time just like you've taken one step at a time. Much love from Ottawa On 🥰🥰

[@warrens2022]

I said this in your other video, but pointing the stuff out is very helpful. Thanks. It looks like it's a skill to get it right...kinda like the TV weatherman in front of a green screen looking sideways and pointing. You have to get the "finger" in the correct position from the camera lenses perspective.

[@mikekofMorrison]

I've been watching you guys' adventures for years now and never knew you did the EBC trek! That's fantastic! I'm going to be doing the same trek to EBC in October (2024)! You guys were so young here! I'm impressed that the altitude didn't seem to bother either of you that much. I'm 67 and a little worried. But I live in Colorado, so I have the advantage of being able to train at altitude. Just hoping for the best. I'm so impressed with what you've both accomplished!

[@AlanaRucks]

holy cow!!!! you guys are troopers. that looked incredibly difficult. i'm so happy i stumbled upon these vlogs, i haven't stopped watching them all night!

[@mugdhakanungo]

I am literally crying tears of Happiness seeing Everest... Love

[@lynnmiriam]

So weird seeing your intro logo without a cup of coffee behind it haha

[@kartikpai]

So true !

[@acrowe69]

So we have been binging your channel since November and came across this trek...convinced us that we needed to do this too.. booked and ready to go in early May. Kala Patter looks awesome. Kara's not for 1M dollars comment was awesome..made sure my wife was aware so there is full disclosure embarking on this Trek... Love your channel and the adventures....thanks!

[@saikatsarkar2375]

Greatest narrative , superb vlogs and you guys were simply great ! I am planning the EBC early next year and watching a lot of videos on EBC . By far the best !

[@jedistar4374]

Nice vlog you guys. In October 2017 I made my way to Tibet and Mt Everest base from China., after been inspired by the movie Seven Years in Tibet. When I stared work, I tried saving as much to fulfill my dreams and Mt Everest was the top on my list. I’ve seen many documentaries and some vlogs before making my decision to finally go for it. Obviously when asked my coworker and friends to join me on this journey, they refused do to it’s price, so I headed solo. Boy once I reached in front of it , I cried so hard that my tears could not make its way out nearly chocking me at ones. The amazing sunset lighting up the whole valley and the Everest itself, it was simply breath taking. Spend that night at the Everest camp freezing my butt of! It was worth.every penny I spent and for a million $ I’ll do it twice more.

[@lisaward7519]

Loving the Everest videos! And love how you call sleet dip n dot snow!

[@TyroneBeiron]

Love Kara's honesty... and all that ice/snow on her backpack midway through the video! 😆 Yeah, I remember when I kept trying to heave air into my lungs but it just didn't give any relief... and then look at the sherpas and just envy their acclimatisation! 🍻

[@Joe-B1]

I was there in 2004 and I know how hard it is. You guys are fantastic and I'd go trekking with you any day. Amazing attitude and well done.

[@sheriherrick4420]

How BEAUTIFUL! You both did so well I was amazed at how easy you made it look!

[@sikpig7302]

Kara is like watching the sky, whenever it is shining Kara is smiling

[@tinal7181]

I AM WAY LATE as Im watching all your old videos now lol, but YOUR AT buff! Yes!! I just had to reach out to appreciate that as a past thru-hiker. :)

[@dreww1818]

Way to go, guys. Great to watch this video. A once in a lifetime trek!

[@sanashaikh5826]

I got emotional today when nate said kara m proud of you... I m so proud of you guys and i love u guys.... Nate you are a perfect partner for kara she is a lucky girl

[@anniefranks6881]

Congratulations to you both! This was absolutely amazing, not only were you made for each other but you were made to do this with your lives & share yourselves with the world 🙏🏼

[@tubpol901]

Great work ,reminds me of my youth when I used to go to mountains! Never seen such professional documentary by individuals. Keep it up.

[@MsCissyBlue]

Nate - "I'll never tire of yak footage!" Me either Nate! Gosh, you guys! AMAZING!

[@sabineo.4627]

I can't get over how lucky you guys were with weather conditions on your trek. So stoked it turned out that way.

[@JustLiving18]

Oh my gosh beautiful sunrise!!! I think my heart stoped for a moment. Can’t even imagine how amazing it was to be there💜

[@SusanFreeman]

Dropped a friend of ours from Idaho at the Houston Intercontinental Airport for her flight to Doha and then onto Kathmandu and Lukla for the trek to base camp. It was so much fun to follow you two along your trek so that I can see what Shelley will be seeing!

[@katielemos8590]

Dippin Dots snow is called Graupel

[@sawahtb]

I think the tea houses make this interesting. I’m impressed that all that food is available.

[@christophstoll3411]

Toll und witzig , grossartige Videos : super wie Ihr das macht !!

[@peggylee2471]

Wow, breathtaking views! Literally.

[@linnea9017]

The music is so perfect for the everest journey. Sad that Kara got a bit sick. But hey you two are troopers. :)

[@barbmorton4835]

I did that climb in 1988. I am now 70. It was the greatest most difficult climb ever.

[@elliesorrie798]

The pure determination, strength and great attitude you guys have is amazing, it was such an outstanding group of vlogs to watch. Your videos have definitely inspired me to challenge myself more and I’m sure many others as well!⭐️

[@mgunter9929]

Loved this series, you all did great! We lived in Nepal for years and I was so glad you all had Sonam guide you. Many SOLO foreign hikers go missing every year, always take a reputable guide. Great Vlog, really great, I could barely make it up the stairs to the hotel in Namche, I cannot imagine what you all did!

[@AB_1999]

Beautiful couple and very fortunate to visit heaven on earth and to comeback safely so that u can also hv the feeling to be there. Simply loved all the episodes. May God bless both of you.

[@dipengurung1722]

Absolutely appreciated with what you guys bringing on this.. Absolutely amazing views.. Different world out there.

[@doinjusfine1]

I have been to within 40 feet of the summit of Everest.. it was scary. Lots of people freak out close to the top. It's normanl to hear screams cries...

[@alexasmith6783]

doinjusfine1 😐

[@spongebobd]

LOL yea right

[@N0N4M30]

U literally can’t hear anyone scream 40 ft from the summit lol because it’s physically impossible to scream up there

[@AseshShrestha]

Breathtaking views of the himalays

[@Pepeekeo808]

In 1982, I took the bus from Kathmandu to Lamasungu (the road to Jiri wasn't completed yet) and hiked all the way to Kala Pattar. Like the entire trek, the "trail" from Lobuche to KP was unmarked. No Tea Houses along the trail at that time., only stayed with families. Very primitive and cold. Only food was "Dal Baht". Hadn't experienced much altitude sickness the whole way, but it hit me hard like a ton of bricks half way he KL path. Hardest thing I have ever done. Just 3 of us on the trail, mid February. Flew out of Lukla back to Kathmandu. Lukla air strip was unpaved mud Yak pasture.

[@Quyen_vo]

going back to watch the old vlogs and let’s sayyy it helps it is amazinggggggg

[@charliewiggins2352]

well minus the lack of oxygen, it looks amazing. I personally would love to climb to the top and may plan too in a couple of years. Great video !!!

[@Miacatlover-gq3qd]

Man you guys are beasts lol. You dont stop. Beautiful sunrise

[@louissullivan9115]

IVE BEEN WATCHING FOR LIKE 2 HOURS HOW MANY DAYS IS THIS ADVENTURE

[@44cornpops]

Congratulations, so proud of you both; this video collection was phenomenal.Enjoyed watching, look forward to your next adventure

[@BlueOcean_Deep]

Great video guys! Thumbs up.

[@slee0687]

So proud of you two! Great Job!

[@jaredcampbell]

WOW, to put how high you hiked up to... The second tallest mountain peak in the USA, Mount Saint Elias is 5489 meters high... so you were higher than the 2nd highest mount in the USA... that is increadible! Congrats!

[@ebonymccusker1034]

Watching this almost 4 years later! I love a good hike but don't think I'd make the trip you guys did, wow! Starting out small with my travel vlogs

[@stephaniegruenberg7044]

The sunrise hike looked totally worth it for the view! (Maybe not as a sunrise hike though...) Pretty cool!

[@steviegenoski9977]

That guide looks like he'sjust gonna send it. It's gonna be a good day.

[@campingcarjoa]

It's been amazing so far. Any inspiration seeing Everest to try and climb it someday?

[@manikantanmani3805]

CampingCarJoa This is manikantan from kerala pls give me information for trekking kala patter

[@larryjohnston3796]

CampingCarJoa you do realize that people still die trying to climb Everest!! Just a couple years ago an ice field sheared off Everest and killed about 20 people!! Base camp is one thing, actually climbing the mountain should be left to professionals!!

[@dianeelaine]

If you are with a reputable group trying to summit, you have to prove to them that you can do it by climbing other mountains first and by being the most physically fit you have ever been in your life. It’s their reputation for their business, plus the sherpas are risking their lives for you so you can’t be just someone who thinks they can throw the trip together to do it! It takes a ton of planning. That’s why you go with a group that has a high success rate of summiting and that they have no deaths.

[@chauvinflorent8245]

Everest must left to professionnals . Climbing is dangerous. Many people died every year in the lack of training before climbing

[@JustGraphic87]

such a beauty, its like heaven on earth

[@chandankhatua]

Thanks for showing such beautiful things. Admire your journey of difficulty but the opportunity is worth of it. U r inspiration to many .

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

Wow. I can feel the pain just watching your expressions. Epic video.

Kara And Nate ! Glad to see you guys managed to climb all the way to Base Camp ! I am going next April 2023 ! Anyway, I am curious about which brand did you use for your solar charger ?

[@sommerrai4970]

I´ll watch all episode..sure its soo entertaining to watch during lockdown..i was feeling bored bcoz of lockdown but now watching your videos makes my day..🇳🇵🇳🇵🙏🙏🙏no matter its new or old video but its nic to watch it

[@melissarobinson9618]

From Canada - luv the phrase "dip 'n dot snow" yummy ... I grew up calling it "corn snow"... cuz its the size of corn kernels, kinda like hail-stones but not as hard

[@ExtremeRecluse]

When I was in my microbiology course, we were discussing where our oxygen is produced. The oceans contain tiny microorganisms called Diatoms. Our oxygen does not come from vegetation like we are taught in school. A small fraction does. The biggest risk to our climate change crisis is the loss of these Diatoms. The entire planets population will feel the effects of hypoxia or oxygen starvation. You were feeling the initial stages of hypoxia. Oxygen starvation is very insidious. Can't catch your breath. Whole body systems begin to shut down. The brain needs a lot of oxygen. As it progresses, unconsciousness sets in. Then the heart and lungs are over taxed. They eventually shutdown and then it is all over. They leave you up there because you are too heavy. Your body is preserved due to the cold. All of this is occurring at sea level. The oceans are a very sensitive eco system. Slight variations in the oceans currents and thus ocean temperatures added to acidification could bring extinction to these tiny life giving creatures. The shurpas should have brought you to see some of the bodies still at their final place of rest.

[@IgglePiggleV2]

The morning sky reminded me of my hike up Pen Y Fan at 13. Man it was soo beautiful!

[@santoshsco]

Best video on base camp trek !!

[@MammaBear.]

Your videos look like you were always so safe. Were there any moments during your climb to base-camp when you felt like you were in danger? Of falling, or anything?

[@peteraguirre7653]

Love it....one can never understand what its like unless they've experienced it.

[@sonishakarki3511]

When i started watching your video you were like Yahhhhhhhh supperrrr excitedddd Readyyyy toooo goooo(this much of energy level😂) And now you were like ok we did it😂 I am super surprised you guys were still smiling despite so much pain ❤️🇳🇵

[@kielyfleming4796]

I cant believe it! Just realized that 5550 meters in feet is over 16,000 f. Feeling stupid I just realized this but sooooo much more impressed amazing job guys can believe it.

[@judyjones1439]

5,550 meters is 18,208 feet. Denali, tallest peak in North America is 20,310 feet or 6,190 meters. Everest is 29,029 feet. Or 8,848 meters …

[@1904-d3x]

just pure Awesomeness..

1:40 Kara is really starting to feel fatigued, I am really impressed by her staying power, but she definitely need an Airport Lounge break :)

[@runnerswim8737]

I just got around to watching your Everest vlogs, and I'm pretty sure the dip n dots snow you saw is actually graupel, which is basically hail forming on a snowflake instead of a raindrop. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graupel

[@himawarisunflower87]

Kara certainly is very strong. You don't seem to have any problems along the way. I am going to trek ebc next week. But I am very worry because I am not fit at all and I have only 2 months to get myself prepared. Hopefully everything is fine

Walking as slow as they are, I’m surprised it’s not slower. Walking at that altitude is No Joke! Done a hike at 5000ft, it is So hard on the lungs.

[@onefastcyclist]

Fine video work! And unlike other you-tube presentations, you guys don't gloss over the effects of elevation.We're considering following your footsteps this fall and we would appreciate a little travel advice: What airline did you fly into Kathmandu?Did you buy trip insurance that included the possible cost of helicopter evacuation? If so, which carrier? Thanks!Gary & Linda
