considering how much it costs to go on an expedition like this they're either so rich they don't need day jobs

or their day jobs pay $$$$

costs like $40k average to get guided up Everest

if you're hanging off a cliff side.... where else would you cook?

those tents are designed to be cooked in.

Or they have packaged food.

At first, thought this thread might have something to do with CS. :D

You'll need a fly on top of it as well....

Pretty crazy stuff.

well, the fly is another $400. plus you're going to need good anchors and stuff to keep it up.

I'd be so freaked out - imagine trying to put in anchors and trusting them to put all the weight on them.... then sleep.

Would suck if you're a sleep walker

Imagine forgetting where you're camping. You open your tent door in the morning to step outside and stretch.

Ziiiiipppp...

"Mornin' everyo...OH FUCK OH FUCK OH FUCK!!!!!!"

twitchyzero 06-05-2011 07:07 PM

Anchors can carry a LOT of weight. Still, nobody is going to put in a single anchor and rely on that. I see 10 anchors for 3 tents and their backpacks - nothing like a little overkill.

I don't know anyone who's done this yet, but I'd bet they still have their harness on even when they go to sleep.

You're on a badminton forum. Therefore, your argument is void.

Gumby 06-06-2011 01:21 PM

I think the fact that you're hanging off the side of a cliff will prevent any accidents resulting from sleep walking or forgetting where you are. You'd have to climb OUT of your tent just to get outside!
