My "hack" for staying warm in my sleeping bag: I activated a set of hand-warmers, which lasts about 6 hours, and tossed them in the foot of my sleeping bag. Viola! Heat! (Trekked Kili's Lemosho Route in 2015, with a successful summit!)

Wow, this is a brilliant video! 😃 Going up Kili in just under six months and starting to get our gear organised. Thank you so much for sharing all your tips with us, your videos are excellent!
pretty good tips to those who haven't slept a lot in sleeping bags. - get warm before you enter the bag, or else you wont be able to get warm. - I recommend wearing nothing in the bag, this will produce heat faster and make you warmer. - if its below 20, or around 0 degrees, you might consider 2 sleeping bags. One big waterproof bag, and a thinner skinny one inside the big bag. (If your clothing is wet you can dry your clothing between the bags.
Thanks for the video. Only 1 day away from the departure, so really all is set and purchased, but still, I keep frantically looking at vids like yours, probably for reassurance! Kili, here I am!
Hey guys and congrats for the great work : ) Could you please put a link or some extra info about this osprey water system. I found it online but the one you’re holding on the video is mentioned as insulated or anti freeze : ))) Can’t find that..

Hi Bharti, we're very happy our videos could be of help:-) Perhaps it could be a good idea to get in touch with Tash! She's our Tanzania expert and recently completed a Kilimanjaro climb earlier this year. She can walk you through everything that we offer and explain things in greater detail? tash@followalice.com She's very sweet and can offer great advice and guidance to help organise your trip. Let us know if this works for you.
No you can not climb Kilimanjaro without proper hiking boots! - More info: followalice.com/kilimanjaro-packing-list/ For the first and second day trail/hiking shoes can be used if in the dry season.
Just checked out your website. I was going to buy a sleeping bag, pants, gear and other stuff. Do you guys have premade packs so that I wouldn't have to bring all this gear and could just rent?
