Choosing the Right Bag for Your Porter and Your Back
For an Everest trekking journey, you don't carry all your gear. Your porter or yak does. Choosing the right duffel bag is essential for protecting your kit during a Mount Everest expedition.
A waterproof, rugged duffel (like the North Face Base Camp) is the gold standard. It protects your sleeping bag and dry clothes from the dust and rain of the Everest trekking trail.
You carry your daypack. It should hold water, layers, and snacks. Balancing the weight of your daypack is crucial for saving energy as you head toward the Mount Everest summit views.
Bags get rubbed against rocks and squeezed by yak ropes. A flimsy bag will tear on the first day of your Mount Everest expedition. Invest in heavy-duty materials for your Everest Base Camp trek.
A durable duffel bag ensures your gear arrives at Everest Base Camp safe and dry. It’s a small investment for the safety of your expedition.
