aiyo, orang bandar attitude. what u expect? 5 star service meh. the fun about this is unexpected event that call for everyone to find a solution , not just pointing finger to the leader. u could do something but u did not speak up and a experience hiker wouldnt want someone like this who have higher expectation . if he can't lead why not take up to him and once finish the hike, stay where it is rather than ranting your experience here.

can we camp in tasik titiwangsa?

if im just looking for camping site minus those hiking area. where will it be?

thanks aidono.
is there any campsite in frim Kepong?

so far is there any camp site on private land which provide space and amneties with charges ?

I thought just better for non professional climber group to share light information on hiking trails or jungle trekking. I find climber groups are very professionals and talk of altitude and oxygen about their mountain trail. This is not but just a medium hike Bukit not gunung. If more hikers agree to open this new thread than we proceed or else let it sink at the bottom of the page. Tq

that's great ettige. i will find out bout the group . i had search for info about hiking group in lowyat and google search but very few talk about hiking activity. when we talk about hiking, the term means hiking the bukit right ? my objective is not to climb hill or go water rafting , canoe etc. it's not my ambition on camping trip as well because im too afraid of any encounter with wild animals like wild boar or tiger . so im not that adventurous person anymore unlike the younger generation. i just want to hike and sweat as a form of exercise. my first hike in selangor is bukit puchong yesterday and i find it good enough to make my shirts sweat. i will try again to go deeper because someone already mentioned about fine and tresspassing. i think i haven't reach that zone yet yesterday.

i noticed some hikers carrying backpack behind. is there anything essential to bring beside this things.. disposable rain coat, water bottle and small first aid kit? what's in their backpack if they hike for fun and come down in few hours. i just like to know if i miss anything here. probably food stuff i guess.

what are the tips when beginners joining any elite group for hiking? im sure the elite won't like newcomer to slow them down. when joining groups like that, it's best to train a little bit am i right?

do u carry a pocket knife? im thinking to get Swiss Knife, afraid of Tiger or Wild Boar attack.

always shaky for first timer. Guilty as Charge!
U c ettige, im going into a dense jungle like bukit gasing, im thinking of getting a Rambo knife . is this a good survival rescue knife? what is rescue knife ? something like swiss knife to cut the hand like the guy did in the movie 24Hours?

so far so good already? let's do a simple one as i myself can't do rock climbing yet. if its not 90 degree rock climbing than it's ok for me..

by the way, just to update u guys that SPort Direct is having Sales now. i just bought a pair of Karimor Hiking Show for RM 114. i think it's a good sales but the salesman told me that the sales is on going . next month buy also the same discount. so take your time to choose. i plan to get the hiking stick for RM 38 but the moment the rubber stopper came out, i gave this a skip. i think the brand is camper.

can the moderator pin this thread for good. i think this topic should be separated from the holiday destination topic. it keeps submerge into black hole and needed someone to bump it.

if i need to know if this kind of snake is dangerous, where should i be asking?

i think it's best that an Adventurous or anything to do with camping and hikes is given a new space for discussion. There's too many of those Countries Topic sink this important discussion about climbing, canoeing, water falls, species, adventure gear etc. perhaps new Forum is open just for this rather than mixing with Japan, Langkawi, France Trip, How long to get my passport, where to get my passport...

should it be under hobby or sport section? let's make a proposal so that more topics can be open under hiking, jungle trek, waterfalls, survival skills, knife , climb, type of shoes, backpack, canoe, GPS, compass, Man Vs Wild , adidas kampung, etc etc..

hhaha.. i guess we are in the thick jungle as well. ok skylive. noted.

is bkt gasing trail starts at the telekom tower or the temple. went up there and saw the temple route is closed with zinc door. is the hiking in bukit gasing only open for public during weekend or wat. i thought of going there to hike last wednesday but saw nobody there at around 4pm. patah balik and went to bkt puchong instead. there got more people.

yes many and some are 50% . take the staircase near the cashier to go up . u find all the camping gear there. backpack like deuters and karimor 30%. .

in subang, near to animasia.

I think it's tru. I went up bit gassing that day n saw a few thugs r feeding monkeys there. There r 3 of them with swollen face. Better to go during peak hours. I did not know bit kiara has a hiking path. Nice?

Anyone been to lentang. There's a camp site . I wonder if therea a hiking trail there.
