Lake Parashar - Episode 7 Lessons learnt

I made a bunch of mistakes on this trek and many improvements based on my previous trek.

I think I want to explore the following

  • Hydration Bladder - It was a pain to take your pack off and drink water. I did not drink as much water as I should have and in future will try caring a Hydration bladder
  • Poles - I am not happy with the poles I have they kept on sliding and coming loose. I think I want to invest in a good pair of poles
  • Need to train with an elevation training mask - I had a tough time walking when I wore my balaclava to combat this I need to train with restricted flow of oxygen.
  • Gloves vs Mittens  - I hated my gloves my hand got really cold. I will try Mittens next time.
  • Underpants - I am using cotton underpants and will move to some sort of quick dry material.
  • Music -  I will carry only the songs I love and am ready to listen to them all the time, moving to the next song is annoying in the middle of a trek with poles in your hand.
