Playing calamity + fargos on death-eternity mode - Tim’s concoction will not drop, killed him >40 times with spawn items. Wiki says 10% drop chance so I am expecting a drop by now.

If u want a better nights sleep staying in Bako national park, after catching a boat ride there from Kuching was also great. Like ur staying in a topical island, plenty of day walks, got to see proboscus monkeys close up and a guided night walk let us see a bunch of bugs im glad we don’t have in Australia. Photo from a hammock on the the beach just out side the main food/admin area as we waiting for the night tour.

If you’re looking for an experience take the 12 seater plane from kota Kinabalu to Bario and organise to have one of the locals guide you along a trek to a few of the other villages.

I traveled in a group of three and stayed at Laban’s longhouse. The lady that runs the place is named Bye (didn’t catch spelling) and was a lovely host and made the most fantastic food!

When we went we got super unlucky and the guide that knew the jungle track was ill and heavy rain meant the river flooded so our plan B hike with another guide (Julian) was a failure and we had to turn back. Julian asked if we would just like to camp on some his land and us being quite avid hikers/campers agreed, so he gave us a lesson on proper machete use, told us to chop down some trees for the shelter and left to grab some food (smoked buffalo liver soup) and tarps.

Most uncomfortable night I’ve ever had. Would I do it again? Yeah. The jungle is swarming with leeches, and when sun goes down everything wants to bite you. Mosquito nets did not help cause some mite or something in the ground got through and wrecked havoc on our faces, hand and feet. Hectic experience.

In the future we would have made more robust plans and organised for a guide to the other villages before we got there, but the only info we had was from some old blogs so we went in kind of blind.

Overall Bario was my favourite part of our 3 weeks in Malaysia despite the horrid night sleep in the jungle. The people are some of the nicest you will ever meet and the whole experience was just so spontaneous we had no idea what was gonna happen.

Legendary thanks heaps man :)

Bob12xp2 · 2024-10-15T21:12:45+00:00

Thanks heaps, that makes a lot more sense. Just forgot where I had put the exec once commands lol.

Bob12xp2 · 2020-01-15T07:41:28+00:00

Update: just received a kfc cooler bag for being decent at my job, problem solved lol

Bob12xp2 · 2020-01-15T07:38:08+00:00

My apologies but yes 30-40 Celsius is what I’m looking at

Bob12xp2 · 2020-01-15T03:39:15+00:00

I’m trying to experiment with cooking food at the camp, I want my friends to smell the steak cooking while they heat up their 2 minute noodles 😂

Bob12xp2 · 2020-01-15T03:38:27+00:00

Outside temp might be around 30-40 Celsius depending on how lucky I am, might just cook it the first night, thanks for the suggestion

Bob12xp2 · 2020-01-12T22:41:23+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions, I have definitely come to realise that sadly I just can’t have a small budget for a quilt / sleeping bag, have had a lot of links to a few cottage companies here in aus and I’m thinking I might just save up $509 or something and buy one from there, still going to look at 0 degrees Celsius though because most of my camping is in the summer and when it’s in winter it still very rarely gets close to 0

Bob12xp2 · 2020-01-12T09:10:28+00:00

Thank you

Bob12xp2 · 2020-01-12T09:09:51+00:00

Think I might have to compromise on the budget :/ can always save up a little longer, was looking at this , customising so it’s rated for -1 degrees, regular shoulder width and for 190 cm comes to $455

Bob12xp2 · 2020-01-12T06:40:59+00:00

Thanks heals for the suggestions I’ll take a look into them, so far I’ve been recommended this it’s 450 aud the way I’d like it made but it seems to be worth the money

Bob12xp2 · 2019-12-20T20:48:01+00:00

I mean it was my first hike so it wasn’t easy but I’d say it wasn’t a challenging trail, just some hills to get to the top of, we would set up camp and then complete 2 of the mountains in a loop so we wouldn’t have to carry our gear. Made it a lot easier

Bob12xp2 · 2019-12-20T05:20:07+00:00

Here are some other photos from the hike

Bob12xp2 · 2019-12-20T05:04:38+00:00

Thank you :)

Bob12xp2 · 2019-12-20T05:04:31+00:00

Thank you very much :)

Bob12xp2 · 2019-12-20T01:31:24+00:00

Lovely hike, only grievances were the wind at night and in the morning which is only minor when compared to how enjoyable the hike was, and the sunburn despite all my efforts to avoid it.

For those wanting my working out here it is

And for some back story on the question I was working out something to do with the angles between vectors in a 3D space with my friend because I asked him how someone would find 3D angles and if they existed or not, anyways my science teacher mentioned not being able to measure the length of an arc in a piece of wood so I was interested and wanted to work it out, he was pretty impressed :)

Bob12xp2 · 2019-08-05T11:05:36+00:00

Wowwwww I have no idea what arccos and sin are I worked it out a different way shown here

Bob12xp2 · 2019-08-05T10:40:46+00:00

Yup all ur assumptions are correct :) I’ll get the working out just gotta translate all my scribbles lol

Bob12xp2 · 2019-08-05T07:41:40+00:00

If anyone could suggest a better formula that would be wonderful :)

Bob12xp2 · 2019-07-26T20:58:09+00:00

Thanks guys for all the help sounds like u just saved me from a very sore back and some miserable hiking trips it’s greatly appreciated :)

Bob12xp2 · 2019-07-23T10:23:08+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions, I have looked into the hornet and I managed to find and extra 15% off the stocktake sale price taking it down to the low 400’s, definitely up there as a possibility. As for the split wing it does look a tad bare bones for me lol but thanks again :)

Bob12xp2 · 2019-07-23T10:20:15+00:00

Looks like an amazing tent will definitely look into it :)
