ClimbingPanther Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Excellent point, mtnmouse. The different varieties of citrus fruits contain various amounts of important nutrients. While an orange is large and full of nutrients, making it perfect for an Everest expedition (this is all we took for food when I did Everest), tangerines are lower in nutrients yet are much lighter which means they are better suited for fast and light expeditions. However, if you were stuck in a snow cave, I would say an orange would be better, due to its larger size and more nutrients. So, with 20-20 hindsight, we should learn that oranges and tangerines are different, and each person must make his/her own decision on which type to bring, or if both should be brought. There is no right answer to this question, we all must decide for ourselves and can't question the choice of others since we're not in their situation.

tvashtarkatena Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 If the climbers had thought to bring clothing made of oranges (picture a one piece mesh garment with sewn batting and an orifice that is loaded with fruit from behind by your partner), they would have been visible to rescuers, waterproof, cushioned in the case of a fall, and had enough liquid and nutrients with them to survive either an extended stay or a slight cold.
