hi there hiking peeps!

i just started this activity with my dog and my neighbour with her dog and son

and this weekend i'm planning to go Mount Nuang

here are my gears, advice me if i left out anything, thanks!!!

dri-fit shirt
shorts
adidas kampung
deuter groeden 35
deuter 3litre hydration reservoir
mid size towel
a change of clothes
one extra socks
biscuits

my dog carries his own things
1litre water
foldable bowl
snacks
spade and ziplock bag for his poop


i need some recommendation for tent, sleeping bag (brands) as i am new to this

Hi jess7,
U might want to consider bringing along some band-aids, in case of blister or cuts. Do bring along some salt for leeches (it's rare, but have seen ppl encountering it). BTW, have you been to nuang before? FYI, it's bout 5 hours up and 4 hours down at slow pace. Moderate pace will be 4 hours up and 3 hours down.

PS: Would like really love to see a pic of your dog carrying his own things

hey pseudo, thanks for your advice, lucky me, no leech today
my neighbour and i managed to only hike till kem lolo as we had two 7 year olds with us, a silky terrier and my adopted stray, Woody.
but Woody did not carry his backpack today as i was not sure how high the stream or river would be
but here is a picture of him with his backpack when we jogging
i don't think he will be carrying his backpack for hiking as it is quite bulky and he tends to go through the road less travelled

today was my first time a nuang and it was great! hope tp reach summit the next round!

so if you do go hiking and see a brown coloured dog with red collar, that's my Woody
extreme friendly

Wow thats great. But In my opinion if you want to push harder next round shouldnt bring kids! dangerous!

Thank you so much for your concern
but those kids are not bad
boy fell a few times and laughed it off
i have a feeling they will follow me and my dog all the way...

to all trekkers, hikers and campers,
what are your opinions on dog owners who let their dogs loose during trekking, hiking camping?

here's my story:
Woody is human friendly, but vary of other animals around but pose no threat unless i command
he does not go far and comes when called
but somehow, there are the minority who made complaints as they are afraid of dogs (so far, 2chinese uncle, i understand they have fears)

reason why i do not leash my dog is because the leash actually pose a threat to both, Woody and I.
but i leash him when we get to flat land.

any advice?

Hi jess7. No prob, but i guessed it was kinda belated? lol. as for the leeches, even the regular hikers seldom encounter it. but you never know how lucky you would be. hehe. Woody looks so HANDSOME!!

With regards to letting your dog loose while hiking/trekking, IMHO I'm cool with it. In fact, I have seen several owners bringing their dogs along, unleash. Not nuang, but other hills/mountains. And yes, I do think it's unwise to keep your dog on a leash while hiking as it might be dangerous. The thing is, only you know that your dog is well-trained. BUT how would the strangers know that? Hence, the fear and/or perception will be there. Actually, if you're lucky you might have encountered several stray dogs hiking alongside you (and acting as the guide and pacer ) today.

Anyway, my opinion is, if you are planning to go to the summit next time, to leave Woody at home. Explore the terrain for yourself first, and decide if you want to bring him along next time. This is because the terrain can be pretty steep from Lolo to Pacat, although it would still be manageable. But from Pacat to Pengasih (false peak), it can be very steep. And from Pengasih to the peak, you might need to lift yourself up in certain places. Do google up the pics to get a heads up. Also, please take note that certain area can be very slippery if it's raining, because of the soil. Finally, please be reminded that the cut-off time should be around 2pm (meaning you are strongly advised to start your descent, regardless of where you are at that time).

Gosh...I just realize my post is so long-winded. Anyway, good luck and am looking forward to meeting up with Woody next time!

thanks for the advice!
woody actually had a leech on him while i was in water but before i plucked it out, he ate it...

alright, i will explore first before bringing Woody, for both our safety

i'm not sure if i'm posting in the right thread but i would love to discuss about hiking and camping equipments
as for now, i have most of the essentials all ready

how bout towel?
anyone have experienced using sea to summit drylite?
and what size would be most appropriate?
i'm contemplating between the pocket or the drylite

you're welcome! woody is a leech-eater? haha. btw, remember to dislodge the sucker first using your fingernail (gently but firmly). and not just yank it out,ya. hehe.

don't know if this is the right thread, but i think this thread is rarely active. can't help you with your towel dilemma. i just use those ubiquitous microfiber towel. and most of the time, it stays in the backpack at the end of the hike.

Wanna ask if there is any good hiking shoe to remember?
I only been to 3 hiking trips & I already spoiled two of my sport shoe (One Adidas & one Power).

What sort of attribute(s) should I look for when shop for the next one?

Thank you very much in advance.

i've been using adidas kampung goco rubber
it is super good!
have not slipped at all
going hiking with it is fine but walking on normal tar road or any flat road makes shoe abit heavy
i've used it up gasing hill 3x, gunung nuang 1x (up to kem lolo )~
i'm going apek hill sunday

Wah you seem to hike alot!
Yes, I notice the seller selling that PM him waiting for reply.
I only been to Broga, Saga & this morning Gasing.

i am hoping to hike weekly
i was at gasing this morning too! with Woody
i bought from myvicious666, good shoe
planning to get more from them

What time u were there!? Maybe we bump into each other before LOL.
I was there since 6 and left around 8.30
Yes I wanted to make a habit to hike weekly too, for health purpose.
