Oh. I get it.  Yeah, I was a smart @ss, but we always talk about bringing Sherpas on our trips. 

"The Sherpa (Tibetan) are an ethnic group from the most mountainous region of Nepal, high in the Himalayas.The term Sherpa is also used to refer to local people, typically men, who are employed as guides for mountaineering expeditions in the Himalayas, particularly Mt. Everest."

It just made sense to me.  So, it sounded good that you wanted to bring Sherpas too.

I'm always predicting weather for our group based on wind direction, speed and clouds.   One of our cooks brought a fancy thermometer for cooking so he is also able to provide us with the air temperature within a tenth of a degree.  Now I agree and think that sounds great to have a gadget for barometric pressure.

Thanks,
