"If you're looking to beat the crowds, trekking guide Bonny Masson has this advice: "If you've got the time, do the original trek the British expedition took in 1953." This started in Kathmandu, but a bus will now take you to the end of the road just beyond the town of Jiri. The trail beyond is a tougher walk than the stages from Lukla, which most people now reach by air. "You'll get a better slice of life in Solukhumbu and the trails are quieter." Alternatively you can trek out of season, in December or February, when numbers are down and the trails are quieter. But you should be prepared for lower temperatures."

This is so, because the winters in the himalayas are brutal. The temperatures can drop to at least 64 degrees fahrenheit. I think that I'm being dropped off in the mountain, I probably don't want to be the in the winter. "Alternatively you can trek out of season, in December or February, when numbers are down and the trails are quieter. But you should be prepared for lower temperatures."

There is almost no humidity in the higher parts of the mountains with only little amounts of rain a year. In the winter the temperatures in the himalayas are the coldest in the world, other than antarctica, really it only warms up in the spring. The spring month when it warms up are through late April and early May. ]]> 2016-10-21 14:11:34 UTC https://padlet.com/johnhoward/og2gmm0rpzft/wish/132350113 Biomes of the World johnhoward https://padlet.com/johnhoward/og2gmm0rpzft/wish/133578606 ]]> 2016-10-27 11:55:52 UTC https://padlet.com/johnhoward/og2gmm0rpzft/wish/133578606 9.  johnhoward https://padlet.com/johnhoward/og2gmm0rpzft/wish/135266755 2016-11-04 00:44:50 UTC https://padlet.com/johnhoward/og2gmm0rpzft/wish/135266755 14b. LIFESAVER WATER BOTTLE johnhoward https://padlet.com/johnhoward/og2gmm0rpzft/wish/135267308 If I'm really serious about hiking through the himalayas, I may want a water bottle that filter almost any bacteria or fungus in 60 seconds.

This lighter has multiple parts, the normal part which has just a lighter with lighter fluid. The second part is weird but cool there is a compartment next to the clicker to hold orange patches. These patches when all the fluid is out of the lighter you can use the spark from the clicker and light the patch, which in turn gives me fire. ]]> 2016-11-04 00:53:23 UTC https://padlet.com/johnhoward/og2gmm0rpzft/wish/135267560 14c.

Mountain Goat johnhoward https://padlet.com/johnhoward/og2gmm0rpzft/wish/135329897 Scientific Name: Oreamnos Americanus
When going into the mountains, goats would be a good source of protein and wool. The mountain goats stay in the high or mid altitudes, around 13,00 feet or less. I can use the wool as a blanket or something to lay on. And I could cook the meat on a fire. ]]> 2016-11-04 11:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/johnhoward/og2gmm0rpzft/wish/135329897 11B. Big Horn Sheep johnhoward https://padlet.com/johnhoward/og2gmm0rpzft/wish/135330503 Scientific Name: Ovis canadensis
Like the mountain goat these cool creatures are found in the rocky mountains and in yellowstone national park. Another great source protein but this is different from the others. This is because I could sharpen their horns and use them as weapons. Weapons for killing other animals or climbing as a ice pick (but really dangerous).

This type of antelope lives in the mid-high latitudes of the himalayas. It is called the Tibetan Antelope and going to be great seeing one in real life. When hunting this antelope I would look for a antelope but taller. Really this animal is only good for food, there is no medical or anything cool with this species. Fun Fact: There are more female tibetan antelope than male one. ]]> 2016-11-04 11:27:57 UTC https://padlet.com/johnhoward/og2gmm0rpzft/wish/135330529 10A. Horse Chestnut johnhoward https://padlet.com/johnhoward/og2gmm0rpzft/wish/135330639 Scientific Name: Aesculus hippocastanum
For one it's a edible plant in the himalayas I could eat (only if boiled). I don't boil it it could KILL me just saying. If I get any respiratory problems while eating any other plant in the wildness I could just eat this nut. This gets its name from being a medicine that helps horses and cattle with respiratory or digestive problems. It also helps with joint pain, coughs, and swelling from a bone fracture.
