sir/mam, meron na po ba na article tungkol sa proper maintenance ng mga climbing gears especially bags and tents?
gusto ko po kse magtagal ang life span ng gamit ko pero hindi po ako sure sa proper way of cleaning them after hiking as well as proper way of keeping/storing them when not in use.
sana po matulungan nyo ko, salamat po.

mga master share ko lng...wag lng po sabunin ang tent at backpack nakasira kse yun ng waterproofing, tsaka air-dry lng dapat
nice climb in Mt. Apo last year and we conquer the high peak in the phillipines and very challenging the trail... thought mahirap but enjoyed the climb. but most the climbers they claimed that NAKAPAG APO NA KAMI naka-pag apo nga but the question is " may back pack bang dala, full pack ba yung bag, ikaw ba mismo nag dala at hindi nag pa porter? di bale na akong nahirapan to conquer the Mt. apo basta dala ko yung sarili kong bag at hindi nagpa-porter....
sasabihin ng ibang climbers natapos nila akyatan Mt. Apo.... pero ang tanong ikaw ba nagdala ng sarili mong bag na fullpack....?
AKO NAHIRAPAN SA TRAIL NG APO KAPATAGAN - DIDAPAWAN VERY CHALLENGING TRAIL ANG VERY NICE EXPERIENCE. PERO MASASABI KO MY DREAM COME TRUE because i conquer mt. apo with my backpack and most especially without "PORTER" im very proud of myself........
di issue yung porter sa pag akyat ng bundok.unless na wala kang pera pambayad ng porter..wag mo na pakialaman yung porter..inggit ka lang sa mga nagpoporter...kasama yung porter sa experience...may dahilan yang mga yan kaya nagbabayad ng magdadala ng gamit nila .yabang mo.
tama! di issue yung porter.. hanap buhay nila un.. cge na sir magaling kana at malakas ka pero ano naman kung nagpaporter ang isang mountaineer!? hindi ba sila nahirapan sa trail kahit walang dalang backpack!? pano kung babae ang aakyat!? nakaakyat ka lang sa apo dinala mo na yung hangin dito.. peace! congrats!
sir gideon!
sir sana po makagawa dito sa pinoy mountaineer ng heirarchy of mountains, arranged by popularity, difficulty and altitude.....yung parang organizational chart ang itsura....with everest as the highest and yung mga bundok dito sa pinas at the lower end.....gusto ko din kasi magkaron ng climb achievements tulad ng sayo! mabuhay ang pinoy mountaineer! mabuhay si sir gideon!
sir may contact ba kayo na transportation sa bakun 3 peaks? if ever na gusto naming mag rent ng jeep? salamat po

pwede sumali sa group? how?
If you really find FUN in groups, ok hanap ka! Madami yan! samu't-saring pangalan. Ginamit na lahat ng elemento ng Kalikasan sa pagpapangalan ng pangkat nila. Meron jan BAGYO mountaineers,BAKAS, BAHA, HAMOG, ALITAPTAP, UNOS, ULAN, KULIGLIG, KIDLAT, try mo i-search baka meron ding HALIMUYAK mountaineers. No offense meant (arbitrary lng ang mga names na yan).
But I'll tell you what! HINDI MO KELANGAN NG PANGKAT PARA MAKAAKYAT. Madami jang mga hardcore mountaineers na walang pangkat (freelance kung tawagin). I, for one, don't belong to a group. And I set out on my journeys alone (most of the time). Mas OK ung ganun, LOW IMPACT sa environment at sa community na maaaring salantain ng isang stampede ng napakalaking grupo sa kanilang paglalakbay. Madaming nag-oorganize ng Open Climbs. Manatiling nakaantabay dito sa pinoymountaineer.com. Madami nagpa-plug ng open climbs dito. Pag nakita mo yung pangalan na Melo Sanchez. Sama ka na. Sobrang pocket friendly ung trips niya. Volunteer guide din ako. Trust me...WALANG BAYAD. Wag ka lang magreklamo kung maputikan yung Adidas shoes mo...baka itulak kita sa bangin!haha jowk lang po. Wala kang gear? No prob yan. Ang dami ko nang naisama sa bundok na Greenhills Crocs ang suot. MABABAIT ANG MGA MOUNTAINEERS, pede ka sumabit pag wala kang sa stove at cookset. pero pede ka rin nila pag-bitbitin ng pakikibangan mong gamit nila. Bawal kasi ang prinsipe at prinsesa sa bundok e. Pero kung ikaw si Princess Sarah na sanay magtiis, game!
BUT

BE SAFE ALL FELLOW MOUNTAINEERS
fellow mountaineers,
no foul words here please... let's observe utmost courtesy to each and everyone as we enjoy RESPONSIBLY what the nature can offer us. let's not degrade the RESPONSIBLE mountaineering community.
thanks.
thanks for the articles sir....
every hiking experience should be fun. it does not matter on how you enjoyed your hike (whether you have a porter or not). Enjoying the mountain, on the first place, is every mountaineer's goal.
Personally, hindi naman issue ang pagpapa porter. in fact, sa pag climb sa mt everest, kailangan ng porter. im sure, kahit sa iba pang matatas na kabundukan, known internationally, madami ding nagpapa porter.
sa pilipinas, it is a matter of choice kung magpapa porter ang climber. personal choice yun.. personal experience naman ang pagka climb.
just saying.
