Even if you opt for a 3 men tent it is still quite near to one and another. Bags will still need to be place outside to allow more space for the head/leg placement. Best advice to get a tent, if it is 2 person kept add 1 to the tent size. For example, 2 men - 3 men tent, 4 men - 5/6 men tent.

The hammock can support your weight. Just need to make sure the knot you tied strong enough, cannot use those thin nylon strings. Problem with hammock, certain mountains got no trees at the campsite. Even with camp, I prefer to have fly+ground as Coleman fly are not strong enough to resist a strong rainfall and it could be an issue when you want to grab some sleep.

Corezone at SS2 and Lafuma at Bangsar memang high value but I do grab certain things there like hiking bags, inflatable matress, shoes, etc. Explorer Outfitter at Publika could be a good option if you are new into camping. Evergreen are famous for their blue gas canister called Camping Gas especially the CV470 series.

I totally agreed with you on the Malaysia version. It seems smaller and will be hard for people with the height of 170cm above. Width not long enough somewhere, somehow.

Peak mostly do not have much view and it is mark with the metal tent aka beirut.

Nuang still got a little view where you head downhill towards Janda Baik route and you are able to get a glimpse of the catchment area. Besides that, there are hardly anything to see. There used to be view at Puncak Pengasih (false peak) but I am not sure how's the condition over there now.

Bukit Indah and Bukit Kembara at Ampang. Entry point is near towards the Darul Ehsan golf course sandwich in between two houses. Trek up like Bukit Saga for about 10-20 minutes and you will reach a catchment area.

To Bukit Kembara it is opposite of the catchment area where your position at and that will take you another 30 minutes top to trek to the peak of Bukit Kembara.

Used to have another Bukit there but unfortunately it is already dense with fallen bamboos and trees when I last went there back in 2012.

Walking around the catchment area will easily take you another 30-45 minutes top.

But do beware of thieves or robbers as the place gets pretty quiet after 9.30 AM as not much people know the route.

Hills around KL or referring to other state as well?

Rasa Hill, Bukit Beruntung
Ketumbar Hill, Cheras
Chenuang Hill, Cheras
Kutu Hill, KKB
Pine Tree Trail & Twin Peak, Fraser
GAP Hill + Ulu Semangkok, Fraser
Serdang Hill, Serdang
Wawasan Hill, Puchong
Jugra Hill, Banting
Bintang Hill, Kepong
*** Hill, *** (Purposely *** it as I havent attempt)
Broga Hill, Semanyih
All the 3 Tabur Hill, Melawati
Saga Hill, Cheras
*** Hill, Kajang
Indah and Kembara Hill, Ampang

Cannot think of any at the moment. There are not much hill left. Time to attempt the mountains

That is if you know where exactly there are. Do some homework and I believe you could find them. If you really run out of idea, then only you ask me

Not interested because you do not know the route

More people aware of Tabur West instead of East and Extreme. More people, more possibility incidents will happen.

Newbies take Tabur West's gradient lightly and with that incident occurred. Some tried to jump from one stone to another (peak 5 if I am not mistaken), some not being careful when descent down at peak 7/8 (where the two doctors died) and the peak 10 (backtrack using the orchard route).

As for Tabur East, the danger part only occurred towards the very end where the vertical climb was. Climbing up is easy but will be a slight challenge when descent. Other than that shouldn't be a problem.

No view point as I know. Approximate 1.5 hour from Pengasih. Last time got people lost there

Why do you want to try from Kemensah? I know there used to be a trail to Chenuang but long time abandon because abundant of wild cats in the woods. Uncertain there are any connection to Nuang at any point.

Let me ask my friend who might did there before. Able to do but more than a day trip.

Sea fishing the best place to head to in Peninsular Malaysia will be Mersing, Johore. About time for Sail Fish season.

What's the height you are looking at? Most mountain tops 1 night camping unless you are targeting the G7.

Only one place in Malaysia have such height and that will be Gunung Kinabalu. Rest all 2,700 m below.

Just drive all the way to Mersing and engage a local guide for fishing. More likely it will be a 3 days 2 nights thingy. You need more information, I can try to ask my friends who are into such activities.

I am not sure about the price but if you are to go fishing, you need not stay in a good hotel as you will be sleeping in the boat.

If your dad is into squid fishing, I heard some head to Port Klang to do so during the night.

Kerinci and Rinjani in Indonesia. Different gear after all especially in terms of the climate.

Which state you are looking at to do the camp?

Try those mountains within the Cameron Highland range. Should be good for you since it will take less than 4 hours of hike and you are able to camp there.

They are: -
Gunung Yellow - approximate 3-4 hours, campsite on the peak, got water source about 3-5 minutes hike down from the campsite on your right. Could drop by to Gunung Pass at one of the junction. Less than 2 minutes, no view point.

Gunung Suku - approximate 2-3 hours, two campsites on the peak. False peak on the right, actual peak on the left. Water source will be the ravine before the summit climb as it is a M type of mountain.

You might want to consider: -

Bukit Kutu @ KKB - 4-5 hours hike from Sungai Pertak. First two rivers have bridge, once you cross the third river, stay left and the trail will lead you up. There are water source in the peak but I wouldn't be sure whether it is still clean since people kept litter around the peak in the past.

Gunung Ulu Semangkok @ Fraser - 3 hours hike from GAP Rest house. No water source. Windy during the night.

Pine Tree Trail & Twin Peak @ Fraser - Indication of last water point at KM 3-3.9 marker. Most people camp there but you could opt to camp at either peak.

Gunung Bunga Buah @ Genting - Cannot remember about my hike there but should be around 4 hours hike with most people camp near to the beirut. Able to see Klang Gate Dam and Genting Highlands if weather is clear. Will ask about the water source if keen.
