It going to be close for monsoon.

Not sure which part. But all look good. No close.

Why you called it amateurs but 1st time hikers?

1st wan is better. Can cheer out. Next day can do more. Also you can hike up again very early morning for a good view.

Datuk very short hike la. Up only about an hr. Go down about 35-40min.

Just the rock side take time.

Many snake in in the night and stay on the rock till morning.

Bring some amateur lenglui together. See they fast or not.

Any package ?

How much ?

I thought you asking some experience about there.

And you prepare to go there.

If you comfort enough to hike many hour.

I see many use adidas kampong to hike nuang or anywhere.

Screw on gas canister is quite difficult to find outside KL. Even inside KL. The next best is campinzg gas canister which is puncture type.

The most common type is the long canister butane gas. Which you can buy from some hardware shop, giant, Tesco etc. Not difficult to find in lumut, manjung, sitiawan or air tawar.

The type of stove is the standing type with a hose and adaptor. Just get it online from ebay or aliexpress.

For hour usage, try it for a canister. See how long it burn. It also depend how big the fire to control. Your meal is not just cooking. Boiling water also. Put it at average 15min cooking for a meal. You should be able to estimate the usage by this way.

Please bring back the empty canister. Don't throw it anywhere in the jungle.

Another stove you can consider is the liquid fuel stove. Fuel stove use kerosene, petrol etc. So it is much easy to find. 1bottle 887ml can use for 224min+. That is 224/15min= 15meal or 5days. But liquid stove require to prime (simple skill) to operate. And maintenance to keep it run properly.

Liquid fuel stove don't produce rubbish like gas canister. The liquid bottle can be reuse again.

I m actually looking for the screw in gas canister too. Haven't really look for it. The stove I order is the smallest and lightest in the world.

There is few way. Check this youtube. --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvxQYoFyS3A...ObTGYAnV7Ev6-_Q

Difficult to find is because it is very expensive. Not mistaken, cost almost RM50. So the market is small. All using the cheap butane gas canister.

Not mistaken, I saw a few shop here got sell. But can't confirm. I plan to go down and check this few week.

I want to buy the smallest size canister. If can't get it here, I will get it from overseas. Like spore.

Ya, liquid fuel is messy to handle. It have good and bad. I prefer liquid stove as it more reliable.

BTW, taller canister need an adaptor to connect the stove. Both have different connection.

Infor update.

Just went to 3 outdoor gear shop, Explorer, corezone and outdoor center. All 3 shop do carried this type of gas canister.

They only have 1 size which is 230g. Unfortunately the size I m looking for don't have. (100g)



Look like not that difficult to get from Klang valley. Sorry for the miss infor.

If you comfort with the Keen, than stick with it. Keen is good enough.

From my experience, just take out your shoe and socks when river cross. There is no point even you wear the kampong addidas. Your socks will get wet too if you don't take it out. You will not comfort with the long hike and possible get blister.

You need a real hiking shoe with a rough profile. Not sports shoe.

The cheapest I can find is from outdoor center for rm16/pcs. But still expensive than liquid fuel.

Probably you need 2 cans. 7days is quite long. And it is for safe in case run out and thing gone wrong.

I want the smaller size for

1) for shorter trip.
2) smaller size and light weight. Every gram count for hiking.
3) easy to keep and compact

Just like this picture. I can keep the canister in the mug. Save space in my bag.

you need to know where to go and what climate mostly.

For local, you need to get a 2 layer type with large area of net. Those 4season or 3season will suffocate you in local.

I try before the naturehike ultralight. Damn hot inside.

For sleeping pad, get the wan that fast to pack. (air easy out) If not pain in the ass to let the air out.

Pro and cons.

The good of hammock is easy to setup and fast. Some people feel more comfort and no need to endure uneven ground. It lighter too. Best for hiking camp.

The bad is, you don't have private place like tent. Specially for girl. Can't keep your bag inside. Some 1 layer hammock will get mosquito bite through. It a bit colder to sleep in hammock. The back have no insulation which cold wind pass through.

It is a bit tricky at the camp ground. Cause some camp ground don't have tree. Than you have to go further away to find a tree to hang the hammock. So you have to find out and ask 1st about this before decide to bring it or not.

For tent, usually no problem. So it is safer to bring tent even no camp ground information.

This is what I have experience.

Have both hammock and tent.

Using this --> https://www.heinnie.com/dd-hammocks-frontline-xl

Is a big hammock. Can sleep 2 person. But not that comfort.

Been use few time. In very cold weather. And hot weather.

Wow, nice.

Quite expensive.

Hennessy hammock is quite famous. Have you try the hammock 1st before get what kind of hammock that suit you?

Not all hammock are comfort. I try my friend hammock. It doesn't suit me cause the length is short. So I need longer length hammock.

Than it squeeze my shoulder. Because of narrow toward to top side. It is a bit tricky to sleep slant as what all people recommend. Cause slowly your body will move back to center. So I have to get the hammock that use fiber pole to expand it. Must more comfort.

The net will restrict some wind flow.

Anyway, have a nice experience with the new hammock.

Maybe next week will hammock camp at Cameron highland. A very cold weather camp.

Decalthon's RM100 tent not suitable ?

Use in what enviroment ?

Want comfort or light ?

How many person ? 1 or 2 or 100.

Where is this place?
