After returning from our trek to Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes I decided to sit down and unpack my bag with you. I show you everything I took and why. I do a full review and explanation including recommendations for what to pack for a trek to Everest Base Camp. I recommended brands and specific items, so hopefully this can help anyone planning on doing this trek through the Himalayas in the future. Filmed November, 2019.
