Last week I trekked with one of the HRA Doctors from Pheriche around to Ama Dablam base camp and then down to Pangboche for the night. The idea was to get some images of Ama Dablam from base camp before it gets busy for the season and with lots of snow on the ground. I needed to carry everything that I would need for the overnight stay in Pangboche as well as my camera kit.
Just before heading out to Nepal I picked up the Mind Shift Gear, rotation180° Professional backpack to carry my gear. So I loaded the pack up with everything I would need, whilst still trying to travel light. A full review of this pack will be coming soon, but so far I’m very impressed, especially by how comfy it is fully laden.
