Some of the gear and knowledge that we enjoy during our travels.

1. No BASE, No Skydive, Poor Base Layer, Poor Trek & Skydive

Merino Wool is your friend (or similar technical fabrics). Make sure that you secure a high quality base layer for your trekking and skydiving that fits your body type. Patagonia, Icewear, Decathlon, Uniqlo, find what works for you.

2. Eat Well, Drink Well

The weeks leading to the event, make sure to eat a full diet to support your body’s function during the trek. Consider packing a multi-vitamin or Iron supplement.
Staying hydrated should be your top priority and will make your aclimatization smoother. Pack your favorite electrolyte!

3. Polarized Sunglasses

The sun is very strong up there, make sure you have serious sunglasses. (However, Polarized jumping can blind your digital altimeters, don’t jump with them).

4. Invest in an Altitude Trekking Watch like the Coros Apex 2

The Coros Apex 2 monitors your blood oxygen saturation and gives you an aclimatization score / altitude performance. This is a valuable insight to evaluate your fitness level on your big HALO skydive day and throughout the trek to Everest Base Camp.

5. A sleeping Liner goes a long way

A sleeping liner packs small, but can really improve your comfort while traveling.

6. Apple Airtags save the day

Those little trackers help you keep track of your expensive gear and bags.

7. Pick the right time for celebration

Alcoholic beverages set your body back for aclimatization and athletic performance. Watch your alcohol, coffee and tabaco intake before and during the event.

8. Don’t forget your Towel

From impromptu picnics to drying up after a hot spring plunge, a travel towel is the most versatile travel hack. Check out Colorado’s Matador’s take on this travel classic. Travel Blanket and Travel Towel
