Hindi lang nakakapagod yung hike (7am to 4:30pm) but you also need to dodge some cows going up and down the mountain.

It still a great hike nonetheless

Grabe gutom and pagod during descent, para akong hihimatayin. Ma-tetest talaga mental and physical endurance mo eh. I'd love to go back, pero camp nalang. It's amazing there 🌄

Can anyone vouch for this tour agency? havent seen any reviews here after searching.

I thought restricted to the public ang Mt Mayon. Let’s say it is a throwback from 2012 (as the post claimed), pero bat ang ganda ng quality ng videos? It’s gaining a lot of likes and comment sa Tiktok asking where, kasi sobrang ganda naman talaga. Baka ma encourage pa ang iba mag backdoor.

For my first ever hike, I did Nagpatong Rock. Sobrang saya but lots of lessons learned, the first of which is proper shoes dapat for muddy terrain.

I might start taking up hiking as a hobby every month or so. But I need to prepare more.

Any suggestions for waterproof hiking shoes na good for muddy terrain that can also be used for casual wear if needed? Since I want to still use the shoes kahit di hiking. Budget siguro preferably less than 8k.

Also, having first climbed Nagpatong, anong suggestions nyo sa next climb for beginner? Kaya yung Nagpatong if only di ako ill-prepared sa shoes department. I prefer covered terrain sana para di masyado mainit.

Hi! What are your Camera recommendation po for beginners? Yung makukuha po talaga yung ganda ng trail at mabibigyan ng justice yung kulay ng bundok.

Bukod po sana Iphone, ayos pa po ang phone ko and nanghihinayang pa ako mag-upgrade 😁

Thank you!

Anong gamit niyonh bag/slingbag/crossbody bag na weather resistant for your camera? Mahilig kasi ako sa multidayhike at minsan heavy rain talaga. Thanks!

Is Mt. Makiling back trail really good for beginners but with proper preparation? We’ve been to Mt. Kupapey and Mt. Fato already as our mother mountain. We’re planning to hike Mt. Makiling on December okay naman po ba ang timing if ever?

Also, we’re from Dau Pampanga, meron na po ba na ka pag try mag commute going to Manila sa mga usual pick ups po ng mga joiner? It’s my first time commuting po kasi outside our area 😅. Thank you!

Hello po! I’m going to hike Mt. Pulag in December for 3D2N. I’ve searched this subreddit pero I’m still undecided. 🥲 Looking for recommendations po.

From this subreddit, yung general requirements:
- Breathable, no Gore-Tex
- Strong traction on wet mud, roots, and mossy sections
- Trail runners over hiking shoes

Shoes I'm considering:
- Merrell Moab 3 Mid (non-waterproof)
- Hoka Anacapa Breeze Mid
- Merrell Agility Peak 6

Questions:
1. Mid boots or trail runners for Akiki with a full pack? How did your ankles hold up on the descent?
2. Sizing: my everyday shoe is a women's 5.5 and I wear a 6 B in Brooks Adrenaline running shoes. Should I go half a size up (6) or a full size up (6.5) for hiking boots, given foot swelling and the steep descents?
3. Socks: lightweight or midweight merino? How cold did your feet get at the summit and campsites?

I’ve hiked mostly in New York and New Jersey pero puro day hikes lang po. I had a pair of Columbia Newton’s Ridge Plus. It’s my first time doing a multi-day hike and carrying my own gear.

Salamat po!

Hey! I'm newbie hiker her, and I was wondering if you have any recommend hike somewhere near Metro Manila?

What gears would you recommend?

Thanks so much in advance!

I'm hiking Mt. Purgatory this week, dayhike lang sya, ano masusuggest niyo na what to bring?

Hello, planning to hike KXC. Gusto ko lang malaman pano yung paliligo sa 3D2N? May pagliliguan po ba and pano rin CR?

Also, would love to hear ng expi nyo about KXC. About trail and overall expi.

Was it worth it? Nakakamatay ba sya? Gano sya kahirap

***meron na nagpost dito dati kaso di ko na makita. Dagdagan nyo nalang ulit :)

Saddle point: low areas or passes situated between two higher peak (mostly campsite area like in kibungan batangan, tacadang school)

Explo (exploration): exploring new trail

Cairn: man-made stack of stones mostly use as trail marker

Traverse: hike from one trail head and exiting to a different trail. Ex: Mt Pulag Akiki- Tawangan Traverse (pinagtagpo ngunit hindi tinadhana)

Backtrail: starting from trail head to summit retracing the same trail back to the entry point. Ex: Mt Apo Sta Cruz Backtrail (loyal)

Circuit: same entry/exit point without backtracking. Ex: Kibungan Circuit (ma sidequest mong partner pero sa legal pa rin babalik)

Hi! I'm from Manda and new to camping. Do you know any commute-friendly campsites in Rizal? Okay lang din if need mag-trike from some areas. Maraming salamat! 🙏

Goods naman po ba mag sandals sa cawag? Nasukat ko tong sa decathlon parang goods naman pero hingi lang sana ko ng insights sa nakapag try na.

If yes:

1. How long usually yung distance?

2. May specific pace or speed ba na dapat imaintain?

Planning to hike this 25, is it advisable for a first time hiker?

I want to try getting into hiking and sightseeing mountains, but I will need to give it a probation period just to test if I actually wanna do this occasionally or not

I have zero hiking equipment besides shoes, I don’t plan to camp yet

Which mountains or trails near GMM would be the best for this situation? I’m thinking free to under ₱300 entrance fee since I’m just planning to commute lol. Preferably I’d arrive around 4am then leave just after sunset

My companion and I are planning a trip to Mt. Pinatubo in a few weeks. Either a day tour or overnight. We’re coming from Makati, Manila. I did an initial search online (Facebook) and was overwhelmed with the number of tours and agencies. Hoping idlf someone can give any preferred or recommended way (or agency) for getting the best experience?

1. Date 📅 Nov 1-2
   

2. No. of Pax (2 - but may change to 4)

3. Any recommendations or preferred attire and gear to bring and wear?

Plan B: We may opt for overnight camping in Tanay in case our Pinatubo trips falls through.

Thank you in advance :)

Sa mga galing po sa North or Central Luzon na joiners sa mga hike sa South Luzon, san po kayo nagpapark ng mga sasakyan ninyo sa Manila? Yung malapit po sana sa Skyway at safe, ndi sa mga fastfood chain parking areas

Just entered my trentahin era and this time, gusto ko maiba naman. I wanna try hiking. Okay ba for beginner ang Mt. Pulag? Plan ko mag hike around third or fourth week ng November (not sure if it's a good time or season na umakyat doon).
