I Almost DIED On Mt Everest (EMERGENCY HELICOPTER)

0:02 But, it is too dangerous for me. It is too dangerous for me to be doing this by myself, too. But, I want to go back down the mountain right now cuz I swear to God, I need to get out of here. Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth, 8,848

0:28 m up. People risk their lives for this mountain. They train for years, spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, leave their families behind just to touch the summit that could kill them before they even get there. I always wondered why. Like, what makes this place so special? Like, what is really up there that's

0:46 worth all that sacrifice? I wasn't trying to climb that. I didn't care about that. I just wanted to see it with my own eyes and feel what they feel. So, I had an idea. I flew all the way from Australia straight to Nepal and booked a private chopper. No trek, no camp, no acclimatizing. I just wanted to

1:04 get in, get up there, and find out what it's like. See it with my own eyes. I came here to see what Everest is really about. Our mission starts here in Kathmandu. Let's roll.

1:30 Good morning. I know it looks like night time, but it's 4:00 in the morning. It's just really early, brother. We're in Kathmandu cuz, as you've seen, look at this. 4:30 in the morning. Kathmandu, right downtown Kathmandu, cuz look at this place. The reason we're so We just got We flew

1:50 in here. What a mission it was to get here. There's no lie about that. We flew in here 11:30 last night. I got to this hotel. Went straight to sleep. The reason why I'm so early is let's let me break down what's going on. That lad that put that orange the driver, he's from a company

2:07 helicopter tour company. And they're picking us up this morning. We got a private helicopter tour with them that goes for today and tomorrow of Mount Everest. We got private helicopter tour of Mount Everest. Guys, how crazy is this? So they're picking us up now in 10 minutes and we're flying because we're in Kathmandu

2:29 now, but this isn't the closest airport to Mount Everest. We got to fly from here by helicopter to another airport called Lukla Airport. Which by the way is the world's most dangerous airport. So we're flying now to the world's most dangerous airport Lukla l u k l a. I don't know how I feel about that cuz but

2:50 it's a it's you got to fly there. Otherwise it's like a 10-day trek or something like that. So we're flying there by helicopter. Private helicopter to Lukla. We're changing helicopters so we're jumping in a second helicopter and we're flying up to a hotel called the Everest View Hotel

3:08 which is like 1/3 it's like 3,000 m up Everest. It's like a third of the way up Mount Everest. It's the last like proper hotel that you can stay at up Mount Everest. So we're starting the journey up Mount Everest today. We're going to spend the day there. We get to go out in the local to we got to go for

3:28 a journey lads. So once we're there we get to go out and explore. There's a town up there. So like the the locals they live on Mount Everest. It's not just some abandoned mountain. They live on Mount Everest and this hotel we're going to it's near a town like a local town. So we'll go through there. So

3:44 tomorrow morning they pick us up in a helicopter from the Everest View Hotel and we fly up and around Mount Everest. Apparently there's mad glaciers. It's a full private tour. It's not usually private. It's usually like It's a helicopter tour company, but you're usually with other people. But, um I

4:01 gave them a little extra, so it was just us cuz nice and private, lads. Everest outfit. I want to look, lad. I want to go for a little local look, but the bloke's going to be in 6 minutes. When we were pulling in here, uh the driver said this was the tourist bit. Tourist {slash} um the night spot.

4:20 You see when we pulled in 11:30 at night, what day is it? Tuesday? It's Tuesday? It's Monday. But, you see it was pumping. Um looked like the looked like the red light district or something just down the street there. Yeah, but we I want to go for a little look, but we can't. We can't.

4:37 Bro, like you know how nervous I was, not only because we're going into Just in general, bro. We're in Nepal, flying from helicopter to private helicopter to plane to the most dangerous airport to helicopter to land on the mountain. Bro, it's I'm not going to lie, it's sketch as, but we've done thorough research and

4:57 we picked I I thought So, my team researched the best company with the best safety record, and um that's what we've done. So, I feel confident now. Their name's Himalayan Glacier Adventure and Travel Company. And they um that's who's picking us up. So, they're full legit. They gave me a little hat to wear, too.

5:17 The bloke gave me a little Himalayan Glacier and Adventure Travel Company. I I'm not wearing it. Relax, brother. What do you think I am? A walking dildo? Relax. But, um Yeah, bro, cuz you know when when it got close to coming, I was like, "Bro, I'm not doing this, brother. I'm not flying around Mount Everest in a

5:37 helicopter, brother. In Nepal, relax." And then I checked out their reviews and all of their safety record and that, and it was all good. So, I was like, "All right, sweet." Still lad, part of me landing at the world's most dangerous airport. Let's go. I don't know what I'm most excited for.

5:59 Like, it's all pretty crazy, but um even just going up, seeing Mount Everest itself, probably that, but I sort of like the the fact that we get to go through There's like a town up there. Like a town on Mount Everest, like a locals town. It's like where Sherpas live and stuff. So, we get to see like

6:17 go through, walk around a Sherpa town, like we're going into the hood, Adelaide. Into the hood, Mount Everest Sherpa edition. There's one of my guides there, my driver. He just come up and said hello. It's scared the out of me. I was looking at this 24-hour restaurant. There's a 24-hour restaurant

6:39 here. And he cool, come on. I was like, hey. How much is up, bro? 24-hour restaurant. I need one of those in my life. What you talking about? Yeah, it was good. My sleep was good. Thank you. Where we going now? How are we starting? Uh we're going to the airport. Yep. The same airport like a international

7:03 airport that you landed last night. Last night, yeah, yeah. So, the runway is the same. Yep. And there is a chopper is waiting for us. Helicopter? Helicopter, yeah. To Lukla? To Lukla. And then Then Then uh after Lukla, we change the helicopter. Change helicopter, yep. And then we go

7:19 to the Everest View Hotel. It's 3,800 m. 3,800. Wow. So, it's high up. Yeah, high up. And we stay And I'm staying there tonight. Tonight. Tonight staying there, beautiful. And next morning, that's we get to make a like uh 360° views. I know we're going to land on the Kala Patthar,

7:37 the highest point on trekking place, and then Gokyo Lake is of pristine lake in the high elevations. Oh, really? There's a lake up there? Oh, well, I didn't even know that. And then it's we make a flight over the you know Himalaya. Yeah. And there is another place called Kongde Resort. Yeah. Where

7:57 we going to have a breakfast and it is a you know it's mind-blowing views up Oh, tomorrow? Oh, well. So, tomorrow we land and have breakfast again. Well, I didn't know that. Like the There's a full lake up there. That's mad. Show me your shirt so they can see. That's your company, all right?

8:15 Yes. Himalayan Glacier, yes. Yeah, Himalayan Glaciers. Let's go. Himalayan Glacier Adventure, bro. Let's go. Bro, how do you know that? Cuz I thought I knew I knew we're going 3,000 something up to the Everest View Hotel. But I didn't know tomorrow that there's going to be like mad glaciers and and a mad lake and

8:37 we have breakfast tomorrow, too, with the pretty much the views of the Himalayas, lad. That'll be crazy. That's crazy. Those monkeys running across the road. They must live in here. Is there lots of monkeys in the pool? Lots of.

9:06 Cuz I'm excited about the monkeys, lad. I want to see little monkeys running around. All right, bro. This is crazy. This is crazy. I'm so g'd with what he said, lad. I honestly I knew we're staying on Mount Everest like today. I knew that up at like 3,800, which you don't understand how high up that is.

9:32 The mountain is the highest mountain in the world. It's 8 1/2 thousand. But bro, I've been to like I remember I went in Switzerland to their highest mountain and it's 3,000 Jean Peru drop. That was crazy up there. Like it was you could feel like you weren't breathing properly. That was there. So this low

9:49 level Mount Everest Hotel tonight today is 3,800 up. But then tomorrow we fly even further up past base camp, land at some place, have breakfast. Bro, well, we're full cheating, too. Cuz you know everyone else is walking up. It takes them like a month, probably 2 months to get to

10:10 where we're going to fly in 1 day, but so we do it at light private helicopters with a view and a breakfast cuz they don't touch. You know I got shorts on? And I only have shorts. I'll bring a jacket. Relax, I'm not that stupid. But I only have shorts. I'll tell you why, all right? It's it's summer here in

10:34 Kathmandu. It's Today's 31°. But he did tell me last night cuz I was wearing shorts and a shirt when when when we pulled in he goes, "Did you do you have a jacket or something?" He goes, "Up the mountain it's so cold." And he if he said that I was like, "Ooh." All right. I said, "Yeah, yeah,

10:51 I'm sweet. I'm sweet. Well, we got a jacket, but I got long socks at least. They go up my calf. We might need pants, lad. You can see this airport here. So this is the the domestic terminal where I say the flights are a lot of the flights are There's a few places. Yeah, there's a lot of locals going to Lukla

And then you know, Baruntse, Ama Dablam, and Pumori, and Gokyo Lake, you know. Well, all beautiful. Don't worry about the 8 to 10 days

13:01 walking while they were taking the scenic tour. To be honest, when he was breaking down all the places that we're going to see, I have no idea what 90% of those were, but I heard Everest, I heard base camp, and I heard the lake, the glacier lake. A lot of people don't know there's this

13:19 crazy lake up there, like right up high. Not many people get to see it. I assume all the other places he said were all like towns or different mountains cuz there's towns on the way up, cuz. Mate. All right, we've got our boarding passes, lad. Let's go.

13:46 Oh. This is This is arguably the cra- not the cra- the most hectic, the best thing I've done, indeed. This is the the cra- yeah, the craziest thing I've ever done, lad. Going on Mount Everest, cuz. That's like lifetime, once in a lifetime, once in barely anyone's lifetime thing, lad. That's hectic.

14:11 Like full bucket list stuff, eh? There's just yeah, there's heaps of Westerners here. Like every second person. Everyone taking my bucket list, lad. He's getting me coffees, lad. He asked if I wanted a coffee. I'm like, yes. Black coffee, please. I'm a coffee fiend, brother. We all know

14:36 that, lad. They're all friends here. They all know each other. Every lad that walks past him, Right, this coffee's so hot. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. One second. Yeah, hold that, please. Thank you. And now you got some serious trekkers

15:02 and they got those You know those hand spikes? Whatever you call them. They got one of those things in each hand. No, mate, brother. I'll rock up in my shorts and my long socks. Pair of I'm wearing Adidas Climacools. They actually have They breathe through the bottom. So, like you're not You can't walk in water in

15:26 these shoes. If you step in a puddle, your socks are wet. It comes up through the bottom. So, I don't know what that means about walking on ice, snow. I don't even know if there's snow up there. I don't know what's going on. Is there snow up there? It's the middle of summer, lad. Today's 31° in Kathmandu. I

15:43 don't know, but it might be green and rocky up there. Bro, look at this. So, Everest Base Camp is 5,800 m up. You know Mont Blanc in France, the the tallest mountain in Europe and the tallest mountain in the Alps is 4,800 m. So, even Base Camp is another 1,000 m above the top of that

16:10 mountain. That's how high these mountains are in the Himalayas. And the top 10 highest mountains in the world are all here. They're all in the Himalayas. Everest, K2, Kangchenjunga, Lhotse, Makalu. They're all in the Himalayas. And they're all but 8,000 m and above. Mount Everest is the highest,

16:29 8,800. K2 is the second, 8,600. Then there's 85, 84, 81, 81, 81. And they're all here in Nepal, China, Nepal, Pakistan, China, Nepal, India, Nepal, China. All in these mountain ranges. It's so high, bro. It's so high. I fully remember the top of Jungfrau Joch, 3,000 m up. It was so

16:52 high, lad. We're just casually doubling that today. Far, we just weighed ourselves. But you've got to you've got to weigh yourself as a total with your bag on. And they were spinning out cuz it's 124 kilos with my bag on. I'm like, you want me to take my bag off? And they're like,

17:10 "No, no, it's to be bag on." And then they had a little dispute. The people that were before me, even that bloke that's there now. Like that bloke that they weighed being is 69 kilos. The one before was 81. I jumped on 124 and they just looked at each other like, why? Why? Why? It's a couple Aussies there sitting down

17:32 and letting the girl sort of getting hustled. You know, when you go to especially third world countries and there's like that feel like that you're getting hustled element because that lady in the green vest that's walking away now and just hit them two up and he's like, it's just about money. It's like 6,400 rupees

17:49 and they're like polite and confused and they're like, we're told that we paid everything and we wouldn't have to pay anyone else. Why do we have to pay you? And they're like, 6,400 rupees each. And then it's And they're like, okay, if we pay you, is that the end of it? Like or is there

18:05 going to be any more? And he's like, ah, like, you know what I mean? And they're looking like, bro, this is This is a scam. I don't know, but that was my understanding of it. All right, bro. First leg. So, this is just the Lukla Airport.

18:31 Just casually to the world's most dangerous airport in the back of a little van, lads. Let's urge. Huh?

18:57 Here we are, coming up to all the choppers. Once they've taken off, look. Far out. This is crazy. Our chopper, bro. Let's go. Hey, this is crazy, bro.

19:47 Round four on the edge ledge. What a view this is going to be, lad. What a view. This is going to be crazy.

20:17 Here we go. Blue flame is on. Both much dangerous here for the lads. And this is crazy, bro.

21:34 Wow. Well. This is insane, bro. This is crazy.

21:59 Look, there's a plane coming in to land, bro. That's the world's most dangerous airport. Look at this. Look how short it is, and it's angled up. An empty street. This is so crazy, bro. Did you say Mount Everest? I was pointing it out. That was Mount Everest. Look at this plane coming

22:25 to land. Bro, the plane literally has like 5 seconds to land, bro. That's crazy.

23:01 Bro, did you see that airstrip cuz? Did you see that airstrip? Brother, that is insane. Like, we come in a helicopter, so it is sweet. You know what I mean? But, imagine maneuvering around those mountains so close through the gaps and then landing on that airstrip that literally the plane has like 4 seconds

23:26 to stop. 4 seconds. Like, in 4 seconds it's at the end and then it's got to curve. So, if you like mis-time the start and that the takeoff is even worse. The takeoff it's slanted downhill so they can get the speed up and it's got like 4 seconds and the edge is a full cliff. Cuz if you go to takeoff and you're

23:47 pumping down there and any reason at all you decide, "Oh, let's There's no stopping." It's not, mate. You're taking off. Sorted out later. It's just a full-blown cliff. That's crazy. I can't believe how small it is. So, there's a small shop. Welcome to Lukla Terminal, brother. Oh, yeah.

24:14 Oh, little cafe. Oh, beautiful. This is epic. This is epic. There's my breakfast, brother. Sneakers and a coffee, cuz. This is mad, brother. Lukla my airport terminal. I love how it cleared up. At first I thought that mountain I was pointing at that mountain. I was like, "Is that

24:39 Everest?" I was I thought you would be able to hear me talking. No chance. I listened to I took my headphone off for a second. I said, like that. And I was like, "You aren't going to hear a single thing that I'm saying." Um but that second mountain off in the distance, that was Everest. We seen

30:18 yeah, to the left. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, the the cloud Yeah, with the cloud coming off. So, these three mountains are beautiful. Yeah, thank you. These three mountains are all huge. They all would be in the below 7,000 m. Below 7,000, okay. Yeah, 101. Wow, that's hot. That's a hotel is so high.

30:42 And then it's uh Yeah, that's below 7,000. Okay. Far out, that's crazy. Thank you. Hot hot lemon drink. It's nice. We're lucky because it's not it's not cold. It's not cold up here. You imagine like in winter it would be freezing, bro. And

31:08 people would be coming up here making it to this hotel for this hot lemon drink, the hot towel, the fireplace, the shelter. You can imagine how long it would take people to even walk here or trek, especially in the cold, bro. You're talking like weeks, lad. Oh, and they'd come get this

31:27 hot towel and just defrost, they. But we're lucky, bro, the weather's nice. They're proper trekkers, ready ready to trek and with their guides. Where do they walk? Huh? Where where do they all walk? Yeah, you have seen the big town? Yep. You know, that's called the Namche Bazaar. Yep. That's the

31:50 well-developed there is a bars, bakeries, you know. Oh, really? Yeah, that's It's near here. And from here is a walking down in like 45 minutes. 45 minutes? Oh, okay. So, I can walk there? Yeah, yeah. Oh, beautiful. Yeah. In the day second, they stop there. They stop there. Yep. And then it's for

32:06 acclimatize. Yeah, acclimatize. Yep. And then they stay two nights and easily they uh extra day they come over on these elevations Yep. they used to do uh acclimatize. Acclimatize again. Yep. Yep. Uh two nights they stay there and then it's uh and after tomorrow after today that's uh Oh,

32:25 yeah, the small town. I can see, yeah. Tengboche. The next day uh they go there by walking. By walking, yeah. And that's the way this valley follows all the way to the Yep. To base camp. Mount Everest base camp, you can see the Mount Everest. Wow. So, they follow they follow this

32:40 valley through here. So, they got to acclimatize down at the town, acclimatize here, acclimatize again, and then go to base camp, acclimatize again. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. This is as so as that the base camp offers only the 50% oxygen less oxygen than the sea 50%? Yes. Wow, half the oxygen. So, that's

33:00 why and then the you know, trekkers body need to be acclimated. Yeah. Uh to adjust in this elevations. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That will help the respi- respiratory system. Yeah, yeah. And then usually the headache Headache. will experience due to the lack of oxygen. Because when there is not enough

33:22 oxygen to the brain, and so that's the brain will experience the headache. And and people like you or locals, you don't really have to acclimatize. You're sort of used to it, but like if That's for the locals it's really not. Yeah. And the people But for Australians or Americans people who are from the you know, sea

33:41 level and they are not used to on this elevations. Yeah. We get sick easier. Yeah. So, this is the trek. That's the trek through that valley. That's the way to Mount Everest. All of that climatizing, trekking, days, days, weeks just to get through here, just to base camp. And then that's only

34:00 like only a bit past halfway. And then from base camp that's the real danger then. Yeah. That's the real danger. Yeah. That's it. From the base camp, people follow through the uh Khumbu Icefall. Yeah. And then after that and people start using the ropes. Using ropes, yeah. this is the climbing season for the

34:21 Mount Everest. Mhm. And other bigger high mountains. The team of climbers they walk through the slope towards the camp four and so, to fixing the ladders, ropes, right? Yeah, before, yeah. Uh, and so, to make it easier for the, you know, climbers. Tourists and all. So, those team of

34:43 Sherpas, climber who works, to fix the ladders above the crevasses, and then fix the ropes. Those uh, known as icefall doctor. Icefall doctor. Yeah. Yeah. And so, so that made easier for the, climbers, you know, to follow through. Yeah, yeah. You can see that Mount Everest is here, right? And you start

35:07 climbing from here. So, you need to, uh, pass hill after mountain after mountain to get there. The, actually, the Mount Everest is is standing all is standing mountain between Nepal and Tibet. Yeah, yeah. So, that's why from here we need to walk till that age. So, that's why climbing Mount Everest from Nepal side

35:27 is longer. Oh, it's longer. And because always the Himalayas, you know, facing south is long and flank. Yeah, yeah. Right? The, the northern side is steeper. In Tibet. Yeah, in steeper than from the Nepal side. Do many people climb from the Tibet side, or is too steep? More people will climb

35:48 from Nepal. Yeah. Because Nepal will offer the, you know, majestic views of walking, you know. Yeah. And not just the climbing, because people also enjoy The journey. the mountain, and they do climb this, you know, Matterhorn of Nepal, which is known as Ama Dablam. Yeah. Which is

36:05 6,900, you know, plus meters. Ama another is, uh, Makalu, Nuptse, and Lhotse. Yeah. And it was the Mount Everest, because it's Yeah, the whole experience is here. Everest doesn't climb in the autumn time, only in the spring time. Yeah. And due to the, uh, snow level. Because now we are just a post post

36:30 winter time, you know? So that is still there is no label and is a good good amount of the snow and ice. Which help the climate to fix the screw, right? And to fix the ropes, right? And also there is a narrow down between the you know the crevasses, right? So in the autumn and say you don't get that much

36:54 in a strong ice. Oh oh okay. So that's that's a Oh so more ice is better? Better. I was thinking less ice is better, but no more ice. So they can mount you know the screws, you mount the the ropes, the safety stuff. Wow. Far out. How long how long will it take from here to to to climb to get to Everest a a

37:17 trekker? The record holders they made you know from the base camp you know to the top even 24 hours. Oh wow. Record holder. But in general so usually that's total climbing time will take 60 days and from you starting from the local 16 1 6 No 6 0 60 60 days Wow. And it is not just for the climbing is

37:43 acclimatization days. Acclimatizing yeah. And getting prepared is some people have a problem they fly back again to to Kathmandu and get rest and they come back again and they go to the base camp and they come down again, do some peak climbing, adjust their you know altitude adaptation and then again they

38:05 go there and they go to the camp one and they come back to the base camp. Ah so it's back and forth yeah. Back and forth because that will help you know every climbers body to acclimatize properly. Wow. 60 days man. And we chilling with a helicopter. Nice. The best way. They come They come up here for

I've just been sitting on the bed since then. I've just been sitting here. I haven't been doing anything.

44:42 All right, can you explain Can you explain to me that how to get down? How far walk did you say it is? About 1 hour? Uh going down? Yeah. So, about 1 hour up. 1 and 1/2 hour up.

45:56 see it. see it from there. No dangerous animals? No, no, no. Wild the wolf. Some dogs? Oh, okay. I don't know who this is. I smart Let me get a room and relax for now, all right? Cuz I've been up since 4:00. I swear on my mom,

46:21 I am genuinely dizzy. When I was eating, bro, it was hard to eat, especially the porridge. Uh the muesli with the with the milk. Because every time like I would go and have a mouth, it felt like I was suffocating. Like it it felt like I was suffocating. You know what it feels like? Sort of like if

46:41 you're puffed out after a run and someone covers your mouth and you're Like that. Do you know what I mean? Imagine someone doing that. That's how I felt like when I was eating. It's not getting better. It's getting worse. Now, I feel like my hearing is like not as good, bro. It's like dull. My

47:04 hearing's dull. That's That's the only way I can say it. Like my hearing's not sharp. Like I can hear, but it's like dull. It's not dynamic. Sounds like I'm hearing like if I had maybe like a blanket over each ear. You could still hear stuff. Maybe not that extreme, but you get what

47:23 I mean. Yeah, like if you had your shirt over your ear. You can still hear stuff, but it's just duller. It's a weird feeling. He recognized me again. You know what he said? He said you're the guy the guy from YouTube, the prisoner. Where you from? Where you from? From London. From From

47:42 London? Yeah, beautiful. Oh, brother, I can't breathe. I tried to send a voice note to one of my staff. I got a little bit scared. I got a panic attack. I full breathe. Is there some way you're supposed to breathe? Like it's so bad. It's way worse. It's getting way worse.

48:10 You got to understand, bro, like I'm no in no way a fit person. I don't do any fitness. I I don't do any fitness whatsoever. Uh once a day I do 10 minutes of strength training. You know, like big like strong moves, dips, chin-ups. You know what I mean? Stuff like that. Just to keep me a

48:33 strong person. In no way is that fitness or anything good to do with your respiratory system or how good you are with oxygen. Not whatsoever. Do you know what I mean? I'm The most exercise I get when I vlog my journeys, these videos. And I And I do steps. That's just steps. That's the most exercise I get. Other

48:57 than that, bro, I'm just cruising around Sydney in car. I'm not a fit person. And you know, bro, I weigh You've seen my Oh. I can't even get sentences out. I'm bro, I almost weigh 120 kilos. And didn't We didn't acclimatize. We flew straight here. That's not a good combination. I genuinely don't know.

49:19 I I mean it. Like I'm not just saying like entertaining the video now. I genuinely don't know if going See where he walked and he showed us where the dog was and we left him? From there, that 1-minute walk back to the hotel here I actually genuinely had a panic attack at one point.

49:41 Because I was trying to walk and talk at the same time into my phone. I don't know how I'm going to do and getting there one thing. Probably won't make it there. An hour and a half walk back up the mountain. 400 m of elevation sounds like nothing, but I think of it here. whilst vlogging

50:04 lad lad lad I'm genuinely sick now. My head hurts. It went from feeling nice to feeling to feeling bad. I've been lying in bed. What's the time, bro? What's the time? 10:45. I've been in bed since I had the camera off for about 40 minutes. I thought like debating whether I can do this down to go to that

50:30 town. And I like when do you I don't know acclimatize whatever it's called. I thought I'll lay in bed and I'll get my breath back. I haven't got my breath back yet. In 45 minutes in bed. In fact, I feel extremely tired and my head hurts now. Bro, there's no way I can walk to the town.

50:55 I'm going to try, cuz honestly, I'm going to try, but it's it's ridiculous. Bro, if the town was 20 minutes away, 20 minutes, I would still be debating. Considering how I felt outside after 1 minute of walking. 1 minute. If it was 20 minutes away and I could see it, I'll be like, "Oh,

51:19 yeah. All right." An hour and a half up Nah, lad. I strong I strongly believe this is not going to happen, but I'm going to try, but if we're walking if we're walking, bro, on the start of the 45-minute descent and 2 minutes in, 5 minutes in, or some point I can't breathe, I have to turn around.

51:43 I other what do I do? I don't have oxygen with me. I don't have someone with me. They're not Nobody's going to be carrying me up, believe me. No one Not even two people are not even going to lift me and carry me up. So, I don't know what I'm going to do cuz I'm going to We're going to attempt it, all right?

51:59 I'm going to attempt it. We're only here once. But, if at some point I'm like, "Bro, I'm having a panic attack. I don't feel dizzy." Bro, we're going to turn around and try to make our back, bro. That's what we're doing. Lad, I have still haven't left the bed. It's been another hour.

52:15 It's nearly It's nearly midday. I still can't breathe properly. My head still hurts, and I can I'm so exhausted. I feel sick. I feel sick. That's sort of like a virus, but you can't breathe. And I'm freezing, cuz I'm so cold. Awful. Even the heater's on.

52:40 lads. I don't know if I'm going to be able to get out of bed, bro. I swear, lad. All right. I'm doing it. I'm walking somewhere. I don't know where, somewhere. We're walking that way. I don't know how it got so cold. I don't know how that happened. It's so cold, bro. It's so cold. I don't understand.

53:06 Wait, that heater is actually on. How am I in a room with a heater on, and I'm I'm like on the verge of shivering? But, when we got here, it was It's It's It's a warm day. I don't understand. 9:00 in the morning, I was warm, hot, hot almost.

53:32 Let's do this. Let's do this. What, lad? The weather has changed changed dramatically. Look even here. Remember it was sunny before? But it's freezing now. The clouds are full of mountains now. Oh lord, it's freezing.

54:08 I'm just going to walk. We're just going to walk It's gotten so windy and cold. We're just going to walk until it becomes too much, all right? I'm shivering already, brother.

54:36 I'm getting that feeling again. That sort of nice It's like a nice dizzy that I originally had. I had a nice dizzy and it was sort of fun. And then it went to more of a sick feeling. In the in there it was sick. I just got that nice dizzy again. Where I'm like really light-headed like

55:04 when you've had one alcoholic drink. It's still nice before it turns putrid. And my lips feel tingly. Is that a bad sign? Wait a minute. Is it this nice dizziness that makes me go back inside and be sick?

55:30 Because we're 50 m away from the hotel and I'm I'm dizzy. Let's go to the edge of that. Actually, I shouldn't be going to any edges while I'm dizzy, bro.

55:56 We'll look from here. Oh, wow, bro. Look at this. Ah, that's not a game. That's not a game, that drop. That's not a game, guys. I can see a town right down there. Right down there.

56:22 Bro, it's getting so windy. I can see a town right down there in that gap. There's no way that that's it. Bro, it is so big. Can you hear this? It is so big, just this mountain. Look at all the mountains. But, to put it in perspective, there is like an airplane {slash} helicopter

56:47 noise coming from there, and I can't even see the helicopter or the plane. There's just a general roar of an airplane or helicopter somewhere between us and that mountain, and it's so huge, I can't even see it. Like, I mean, the mountain is so huge that I can't even spot the tiny helicopter.

57:16 I'm getting proper dizzy now, bro. Like, stability dizzy. Like, I can't walk in a straight line. That's our hotel. That's That's our hotel. Like, literally, the hotel's like 200 m away. I almost just fell down. This is so bad. Whoa, what a

57:42 What's this? Bro, the track turns proper lethal. I am too dizzy to walk this track at this moment. Look at the track. Bro, the side of me is a drop, lad. And I'm full dizzy. And it's full windy.

58:10 Cuz, I'm going to sit down, lad. Let me sit down for a minute. Oh. Let me sit down for a minute. This is craziness. Lad, the weird thing is, I'm not scared of mountains. I don't know why. I'm scared of heights.

58:36 Not scared of mountains. You'd think I'd be scared here. I'm not scared. But, I'm genuinely not of the heights anyway. But, lad, I'm a mixture between dizzy, like, unstable walking, weak, and it's heaps windy. And look what I'm walking on the side of. Look at this.

59:03 Look at the drop off the side of this. Like, don't get me wrong. If I fall, there's little pockets that'll catch me on the way down. I'm not going to just freefall. Like, I'll I'll fall like 40 m and then get caught on a rock, and then down another 40, and then get caught on a rock.

59:24 But, I'll probably still die if I fall. This is pure stupidity, bro. Laughing at that situation. Bro, I can't even feel my face. I'm not talking weird. Everything sounds weird, bro. I'm probably talking like like I'm slurred or something. I don't know.

59:49 Am I pale? Man, I feel like I'm going to pass out. There's a little catchment here. So, I'm going to sit on the edge here cuz if I fall, I should I should be able to catch on before I roll down. Look at that monastery down there. Temple or monastery, whatever it is.

60:14 Why is there no one else walking this path, lad? Oh, lad. Lad. At least the wind stopped.

60:39 It is too dangerous, bro. The combination of circumstances is too dangerous for me to be doing this by myself, too. I've got to go back. I have to go back. There is no We were not even close to achieving that. I know we walked We walked from the

61:04 hotel. I can't even think. We walked from the hotel. I don't even know what I'm saying, bro. We walked a long ways is what I'm trying to say, bro. We didn't walk far at all.

61:29 Probably starting to hear me proper. I'm going to let slice lady on slide it. Sit up on the rocks, bro. Let's sit here for a bit. And the hotel is just there, so we're sweet. Just get our breath back, lads. And then make a vector to the hotel.

61:54 Let's go. It's so much worse than you think it's going to be. But then again, bro, think about it like this, lad. People start dying at 6,000 m. That's where people start dying. That's

62:19 where you see the videos people die, cuz I can't even talk, lads. I feel disabled. I feel disabled. You can't even People can't People die at 6,000 m up. When really, if you think about it, we're 4,000 m. All right?

62:44 These mountains are like 8,000 or It's only just a bit up that mountain, cuz. Really, see that mountain? Just up that mountain, not even to the top. People start dying, cuz. People start dying up there, lads. I didn't mean to laugh. Not laughing at people dying. I'm laughing at the circumstance I'm in.

63:11 4,000 m up, 2,000 more, cuz. People are dying, bro. This is no joke. That's crazy, cuz. To think that like you can look at a mountain and just be like there's so little oxygen up that mountain that you'll suffocate and die. Like just there.

63:44 I was like 50/50 then. Genuinely deciding whether to ask for help then. As I was walking through. That's how I feel. I was deciding whether to ask him for help. Oxygen. I said, "Nah, I'll go to the bed. I'll come back to bed and see how it goes." Bro.

64:09 Lads. Now I'm Now I'm myself. Now I'm myself. I just asked ChatGPT. It's like I said, "Bro, am I tripping? Am I tripping out? How can I be this sick?" And then um ChatGPT said um I said I said Bro, I can't even talk. What I said is, "Can I be sick at 4,000

64:36 m up or am I imagining it?" It said, "You can definitely be sick at 4,000 m. The air is pressure show significantly lower, less oxygen available, and it leads to altitude sickness or acute mountain sickness. The acute mountain sickness at 4,000 m up, if I ascend more than 3 to 500 m per day

65:04 above 2 and 1/2 thousand meters. So, after 2 and 1/2 thousand meters, you can only ascend 3 to 500 m a day. We ascended another 1 and 1/2 thousand meters in 10 minutes. is headache, nausea, dizziness, and light-headedness, fatigue, difficulty sleeping,

65:31 loss of appetite, and can lead to high altitude pulmonary edema, or high altitude cerebral edema, which are life-threatening and require immediate descent and medical attention. Ascend gradually. Never ascend more than 3 to 500 m a day. Stay well hydrated. Spend each night or two acclimatizing at

65:58 lower elevations. And consider medications. Bro. Lad, what do I do? Uh-huh. What do I do? I'm proper sick. Like, I'm proper sick, lad. I can't even feel my face. What do I do, cuz? It's not getting better.

66:24 I'm laying in the room. It's not getting better. What do I do? Just lay here and don't say nothing to anyone? Like, why was everyone else sweet? Why was all those people trekking? Why were they all sweet? All the people I got a photo with. Why are they all sweet? Do you reckon they came up properly?

66:47 Do you reckon they came up like they walked, they'd done walked the journey? I don't understand, bro, like I don't understand. If this is how you can feel If this is how you feel, if this is what happens when you fly up a mountain and get out instead of coming the proper way, and why are we flying up the mountain?

67:13 What Why is Why does this exist? I don't understand that. They just came in and they took my oxygen. It was 83 and I don't know what it's supposed to be, but they said that's okay. But they told me to get in the bed and um they said cover my head. They said cover my head and um

67:38 told me to stay keep my legs under the blanket. They asked me if I had extra pants. I said no. They said just stay under the blanket. Don't lift under the blanket. And then he said he's going to get me One of them said that our guide said he's going to come back with the medicine.

67:53 I don't know what the medicine's for. What's the medicine, man? Is there my nice chat GPT? What's the medicine? I don't want the medicine, but I just give me oxygen. Bro, I don't want that medicine. Diamox speeds up acclimatization by making your body breathe faster and deeper. What?

68:19 I don't want that medicine. That makes me breathe faster and deeper. I'll do it myself. No, no, no, no, no. Oh, bro, my head hurts, like my head hurts. Bro, but I want to go back down the mountain right now cuz I swear to God I need to get out of here. I just tried to breathe faster and

68:45 almost passed out. It just made it way worse. My head is throbbing now. My head hurts, like hurts hurts. I think it's Let's Let's eat this because now we are let's say that's uh we are Hello. I don't know cuz I'm going to have to go on this medication.

69:14 I don't know, lad. We We got to Lukla. Mhm. And we stay there. We stay We stay tonight there. And then and then in the morning we still ride the helicopter. And Lukla I can breathe better. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Yeah, please. Yeah. Yeah? Yeah, please. Yeah. I'm I'm just making it's I'm getting

69:33 very sick, bro. My head it hurts so much. Bro, there's no way I'm taking a medication that makes me breathe deeper. Come on, bro. I'll speed up my breathing. Bro, get me out of here, bro. No way, bro. No This and I see exact medicine it came with the Moxon whatever it was.

69:58 Makes you it makes you your body breathe deeper and faster. And then I tried to breathe deeper and faster myself. But the and I almost passed out, bro. My head is killing. Killing. I can't feel my face. I don't even know if I'm talking properly, bro. I'm packing my stuff, lad. Oh.

70:28 I've got a beanie, bro. I'm going to wear that. And the weirdest thing is my legs hurt, bro. In a weird way like I grazed them. They don't hurt like internally like you would think in this situation like oh yeah, that's just the oxygen thing. They feel like they're scratched. Like pushed.

70:54 Like they're like they're grazed. Like the skin is stinging. the skin on my legs hurts. The skin on my legs hurts. I'm not going to lie, lad. I don't even know if Lukla is fine. I don't even know if Lukla is fine, bro. He's He's very adamant that just go to Lukla so we can still do the helicopter ride.

71:21 But I was just looking up. It says the oxygen at Lukla is 8% better than here. Here is 64 and there is 72. It says if you feel symptoms acute mountain sickness to descend all the way down immediately and even at Lukla to descend it's not low enough. Bro, I can't feel my face. My

71:46 legs are sore or burning, I'm not sure. My head hurts. He wants me to take the medication to stop my head hurting, but lad, I don't want it to stop hurting, bro. I don't want to mask it. Like if it hurts, I want to know that it's hurting. Yes, it's a pain killer it's not always good, bro. You know what I mean?

72:07 I don't want to think I'm sweet. Oh, I feel fine now and I'm not. Why would I take a pain killer, bro? Like I don't give a about the the flight in the morning around the glacier and Mount Everest, whatever, bro. I've seen it. I've seen Everest. Do you get what I mean? Bro, it's like I can't even feel my

72:27 face. Like I feel here. I can't feel my nose, bro. I can feel here. I can feel the top but not there and not there. Oh, here's tingly like electricity. It's an electrical feeling here. I can feel that.

72:53 I feel so heavy. I feel like I feel weird, bro. Like from now I'm still like numb and jaw headache really bad. I feel weird, bro. Real weird. Not even in You know how before it was like in a nice way? I was dizzy in a nice way before. Now it's like in a bad way.

73:20 Sort of like a really bad flu. But instead of a sore throat it's like suffocation. It's like I'm suffocating, bro. But it's crystal It's crystal It's the weirdest feeling because it's it's clear crystal clear down there. I feel all the cold air going in.

73:47 And my lungs filling up. But it's like I'm drowning. My legs have stopped hurting at least. Burning, whatever. They've stopped burning. Straight away in 10 minutes from you know From Lukla. Yeah, from Lukla to here. And they took 3 days. Okay. Cuz I'm looking all these old

74:12 people and they're healthy. I'm supposed to be fit. Those old people, you know, the oxygen one? Yeah, the oxygen He came on a helicopter like us. Also? Yeah, but they they after our breakfast Yep. they left and they made a tour and they left. Oh, they left straight away? Yeah. Oh, so the bloke

74:33 in on the oxygen mask, he was the only other one that came on a helicopter. And he was on that Remember when we're having breakfast and all the other people that were marching past us including the people that I got a photo with and stuff, they hiked from Lukla, which has taken them 3 days of

74:54 acclimatizing that we done in 10 minutes. All right. There you go. That is you know how much better that made me feel. I feel like so dumb. I feel so stupid, bro. Like sitting there looking at old people marching around and I'm in the bed like So, the only other person that came on a

75:19 helicopter was the bloke sitting on an oxygen mask passing out. If you think of it like that, I done pretty well. I'm doing all right. The bloke's passing out on an oxygen mask. At least I made it over there, true? Actually, I'm a bit of a warlord now.

75:45 Bro, I still made it over there. It makes me think then, why did he let me go? If he knew that, why did he say, "Yeah, go walk to the town. It's 2 or 3 hours walk." Bro, I nearly died. I made it. We just made it.

76:11 That first curve, lad. Like 3 minutes deep and I didn't nearly die, lad. Bro, this is no joke here, lad. So, what their thing is is that when you come up in a helicopter, you're not supposed to stay here. Like see how we came The people that are supposed to stay here are the people

76:35 that acclimatize uh to to to stay here. So, they're sweet by the time they get here. That other old bloke on the oxygen mask, they done their helicopter ride and they've left already. They're already in Kathmandu. That's how it's That's how you're supposed to do it, you know? I just book everything, you know

76:57 what I mean? I'm How am I supposed to know these and to be fair, I didn't get any pre-warning, but or none of my staff got a pre-warning about this. But so I booked it. So it's like you do the helicopter tour and then I booked it and I want to stay in the in the in the hotel and explore,

77:19 but you can't do both. The people that come up in a helicopter, they got to go straight away or they're on oxygen masks or you trek your way up and then you can explore and stay in the hotel, you get it? That's what's going on. So we've we've overstayed our welcome in terms of sickness already. So that

77:41 bloke, he's already back in Kathmandu. So we've overstayed our our our welcome. I done all right, I hung in there. True? If you think about it, actually, you're not even supposed to stay past your helicopter ride. I went all right. I had good intentions, lads. So it's good to know. It's easy

78:06 important information for us. True? You either trek up then you can explore the village, stay in the Everest View Hotel, but you must trek up or take the helicopter tour and in and out real quick like that, you know, do the shortcut, but don't do both. Don't do both. Feel like I can hear a helicopter.

78:35 I can hear a helicopter somewhere. I guess you I should appreciate these last moments. Right now in the right these are the last moments in the Himalayas, lad. Far out. Oh, that's the sound of a plane.

79:02 Can't even tell. You can't even tell you. Is that us? That's us. I just want to be out so bad.

79:51 Even just being down this low here Lukla it's made me feel like 10 times better. 10 times better. It's it's it's a spin out what just like each elevation that difference it can make. Like here 2 and 1/2 thousand meters I feel like I can breathe. My headache is slowly gone. Like it's it's so much better. And then

80:17 just one more step up at 4,000 I felt death bed, lad. Far out. No wonder they got to trek from here. This is the point where it's I think like it's okay. You can fly here. But this is the point where you can't be skipping it by um flying. Pretty much trekking from here. 14 days to base camp.

80:43 Trekking 14 days, I think he said, from here to base camp. Yeah, right. That I can I can promise you that will be something that I never do in my life. Like 14 to 1-month treks. Relax. If I walk for 4 hours, I'll talk about it for the rest of my life. I walked 4 hours straight.

81:20 That was way more turbulent, that flight, bro. I was sketched out, I swear. So much of that, right. Bro, you know what? What a mission. Brother, I'm still sick. I still feel sick. My head has started hurting again so bad.

81:46 Like obviously I can breathe, but I just feel full, weak, and sick. Like bad headache. You know what? Like like I just I just don't understand something though. If I go up there, okay, I'm not the fittest person in the world. Okay, I'm not fit, all right? But I'm also not an unhealthy person.

82:07 If I go up there, land at that hotel by helicopter, and do my thing, and I end up like how I ended up then, needing an emergency helicopter back down, and the only other bloke that caught a helicopter up there was the bloke while I was eating breakfast that was on oxygen making noises in the kitchen in the dining area

82:29 of the hotel, then maybe if that's the case, then maybe don't provide that service. If the expectation is that if it's someone that's not from Nepal or someone that doesn't live on a mountain in some part of the world and they get that service and they end up on oxygen and sick needing medication,

82:51 probably don't probably don't provide that service. Right? Just just the say or at least give like a warning. And you know what else I checked too? Listen to these cars. You know the What is a healthy oxygen level and what is a worrying oxygen level when you get your oxygen read?

83:12 My oxygen was 8 83. By a fingertip pulse oximeter, 95 to 100 is normal and healthy range, preferably 98. 91 to 94 is slightly low, not dangerous but could suggest a mild issue. 90% or below, hypoxemia, low blood oxygen. This is concerning and often requires medical

83:37 attention. 90% or below. Listen to this, brother. I'll show you I will show you. Here, screenshot this. Below 88% very low, often used as a threshold for giving supplemental oxygen. Below 85% emergency situation. This can affect organ function and brain oxygenation. I'm actually really upset now.

84:02 All right? Because mine was 83 and I was going into some form of collapse like in in 2 hours I I got progressively worse. I went like oh I'm dizzy, I'm this, I'm that, oh oh I can't breathe, oh I'm tired. Brother, by the end of it I couldn't feel my face and my legs were burning.

84:23 And my And they took my reading and it was 83%. I don't know about this. I don't know about what percentage supposed to be. I know that it should be all right. I've had it done before. I remember it was 99, whatever. I don't know if 70% is a worry, 20% means you should see a doctor. I don't know. 83% The The bloke

84:45 at the hotel goes, "Ah, it's okay. Put a hood on your head." Told him put a hood on and they went and got me medicine. Brother, it's 83%. 85% means you're going to die. It was 83%. Cuz like that's just like, bro. That That just puts everything into perspective. It's when you go to third-world places, bro,

85:10 it doesn't matter how touristy it is, doesn't matter how beautiful, how wonderful it is. You just got to like triple, quadruple check everything. And don't trust anyone's word, bro. Bro, I was sitting up there with 83% oxygen levels not knowing below 90% is hospital time, below 85% is lethal. Not

85:34 knowing the bloke's and I would have sat there and drank this If I didn't like I had to full ring my management to say, "Bro, tell this bloke to take me down. I don't I had the I don't care what the extra helicopters cost. I didn't care. I'll pay for whatever whatever you want to charge me." Brother, here, I'll take

85:51 it. Pay him. Take it. And that that's why they got That's the only reason I'm here back down in Kathmandu now. That's why that's the That's the only reason I'm here. Like think about that, cuz. The other people, they don't care, bro. They don't care about you. It's a good lesson, bro.

86:05 Other people do not care about you. They're just like, "Whatever, bro. Whatever. I'll give him soup. It's sweet. What has he paid for? Make sure he You've got my money already, cuz. But that just annoyed me even more when I seen that. Now, me even more when I seen that, knowing I had 83% oxygen level and

86:23 they bring me in a Panadol, try to make me drink soup. Like, bro, get me out of here, bro. Anyway, that's my Mount Everest experience, bro. Laters. I'm going to sleep, like
