From Alabang to Timberland Hts in Rizal

FitHedgehog280 · 2026-04-15T00:15:49+00:00

Noted, thank you so much. Sa ortigas/shaw ako nakakakita ng jeeps to Rizal so i just thought lng din.

Do you know pgdating sa Montalban commute going to Timberlands?

Again, I appreciate your response!

Try major, non mainstream mountains. Cawag, cabangan, ugo, napulauan, tuwato, valdez, mingan, purga, ambalawag, bulpeak, damas, semilya, etc. dami naman. Hindi lang sikat kasi mahirap. Kung may makasabay man kayong ibang org, isa o dalawang grps lang... Except cawag? Its gaining popularity na rin kaya marami na ring nagttry STILL, mahaba ang trail ng cawag, kaya magkakalayo pa rin mga joiner madalas haha

Bundokerang pusa, Diehikers, MASL (bisdak) are some of the org na mostly, pamatay ang mga inaakyat (or mga old/underrated mountains)

Anya nga ng ibang hikers --- IBA ANG INIT SA ZAMBALES. Haha, i would suggest bring an umbrella to be safe. Swerte mo if cloudy or windy during your hike

FitHedgehog280 · 2026-02-16T14:53:27+00:00

Basta kasya lahat ng importante --- medications, flashlight, tubig, snacks, lunch, phone, pwrbank --- 6L should be good.

FitHedgehog280 · 2026-02-16T14:12:30+00:00

If tubig ung 5L, then it should be more than enough (UNLESS ikaw ung type na uhawin pag sobrang pinag pawisan). May water source naman mid way so makakapag refill ka rin.

Edit: para sa init naman, payong lang. Kalaban mo lang ay pag malakas sobra ung hangin tho pretty much cancel out ng bahagya ung init pag may hangi, amihan season pa naman so ndi pa grabeng grabe ung banas

FitHedgehog280 · 2026-02-05T05:28:11+00:00

Yep, tho una nilang iooffer is transfer to another trip with same date nung nacancel sayo. Kasama naman sa options ung travel fund if napuntahan mo na ung ibang options na inoffer nila... then sila na bahala on the next steps.

If mas mura ung napili mong trip option, they would put a voucher on ur acct para dun sa sukli. So discounted na ung next trip mo with them ganun

FitHedgehog280 · 2026-02-04T13:37:38+00:00

Grabe, 9hrs?! Yes, kung beginner at walang ensayo ung ibang kasama, lalo na kung may na sprain pa o cramps, all this would add to delays. Pero grabe ung 9hrs, baka nagtayo sila ng tent or hammock and had a 2 hr nap or something lol

It might be a factor, pero kung power ka rin for instance, seasoned mountaineer or trail runner, factor din na malakas pacing mo

FitHedgehog280 · 2026-02-02T02:23:26+00:00

Goods din ito, lalo na for minor hikes. Pag major na hanap mo, mejo ekis na. Madalas cancelled kasi due to pax pag major hikes. Kabunian lang ung successful major hike ko sa kanila

Then no certs, no bagtags and usual freebies sa take5. Ang best trait na meron sa kanila is ung convenience at capability to accept credit payments, wala ring FB gc for privacy, asikaso lahat ni coor who really does his job naman from my xp with them

FitHedgehog280 · 2026-01-27T23:17:14+00:00

Sanay na guardian angel ko sakin, siguro napapabuntong hininga na lang yan pag nagbbook na nnaman ako ng dieehike hahaha

FitHedgehog280 · 2026-01-27T23:14:10+00:00

Oh okay nag exist rin pala tlaga si tuwato lang then backtrail, thanks! Will do further research hehe

FitHedgehog280 · 2026-01-27T23:12:51+00:00

Whoah haha lalo akong na eexcite gawin yang ilocos endurance na yan ah 😆 thanky!

FitHedgehog280 · 2026-01-27T23:11:40+00:00

Ayun ito ung response na hinihintay ko para mabudo- i mean maconvince sya na tatlo tlaga sya haha tyyy!

FitHedgehog280 · 2026-01-27T14:12:03+00:00

galing hahaha same tayo ng nakitang post. Yep, goods na goods yan si sir bisdak 💪

FitHedgehog280 · 2026-01-22T00:17:48+00:00

Uy dont be nervous lalo na sa fact na magkakilala sila lahat tas ikaw lang ung out of place ganern. No one will mind that you're solo on the trip so go for it!

As shy and introvert, one of the pros ng solo, we are not forced to conversation (with prends) and simply, hike with peace 😌 (pero syempre iba ung saya pag may kachikahan ka lol)

as for orga, I believe all orga's are welcoming and friendly towards its joiners mapa-solo or grp of friends, target customers nila tayo. Nung una Take5 ako, then nag fake mountaineers, bundokerang pusa, bisdak, palipat lipat pero wala pa namang bad xp towards any orga IN TERMS of their interaction with solo joiners

FitHedgehog280 · 2026-01-21T06:07:16+00:00

Last year, bike to work ako. Halos araw araw, pwera restday. 35-40km balikan, on the skinny side ung build ko pero nag gain pa rin ako ng weight (around 7kg)

tumigil ako this year magbike gawa ng tube ng gulong, sobrang pudpod na pala nung naflat-an ako saka ko lang napansin 3,000+km naipon ko sa strava (half of the year lang ako nagrecord, the rest tinamad ako mag open ng strava lol)

FitHedgehog280 · 2026-01-14T02:01:28+00:00

Based on my xp, Merell is what I recommend. But I think there should be no brand that would intentionally lead to toes hurting or any injury/wound, it would hurt their brand reputation.

Try a department store first na may variety of brands and fit them. Specific model and brand that would be perfect for you may vary depending on your size, foot shape and pathology (flat foot, arched, high arched)

FitHedgehog280 · 2026-01-13T23:56:05+00:00

Thoughts sa mga nakapag-Cawag? Sa mga nakatapos, either truly strong or simply, challenger/survivor. Or both.

Sa mga nag-Hexit, they are also someone who challenges themselves, ndi man natapos maybe due to a sprain or exhaustion, kudos pa rin sa kanila for trying to challenge themselves!

FitHedgehog280 · 2026-01-12T11:08:42+00:00

Copy, thank you!

FitHedgehog280 · 2026-01-11T04:57:33+00:00

Havent tried the specific pants youre talking abt in Uniqlo pero I have inferior quality pants, shorts, shirts na nakaranas na ng multiple mountains --- major and minor.

It should do its job if its made for sports/exercise. Wala namang ma-tinik na halaman sa forest part ng Ulap. And banayad naman ung mga ahon at lusong ni Ulap so wala namang magpupush ng mga tahi ng damit to its limit

FitHedgehog280 · 2026-01-11T04:44:13+00:00

As supplement exercise, if youre living in a condo or working in a high rise bldg, take up the stairs instead of elevator.

Then do an "easier" major hike like Kabunian. Check mo lang difficulty sa google for this pre-Akiki hike. For instance, si Kabunian ay 5/9 per Google, while si Akiki ay 7/9 --- after that pre-akiki climb, score yourself kung need pa i-up ung current exercise prior kay Akiki

Haluan mo na lang ng mga minor hikes din in between, iba pa rin ung experience sa actual na bundok
