    You had hiking trips for PE classes in college? What the heck, ba’t kami walang ganyan. That’s really disappointing lol.

    I go on hikes too pero usually mga day hike lang and yung camp somewhat modernized na kaya kung wala kang food may tindahan dyan na malapit so cooking isn’t that necessary.

    I have always wondered paano kaya kung pang multiple day climb, yan yung di ko pa na-experience. Sa towel naman nagdadala ako ng towel tapos pag hindi basa I also treat it as a blanket hahaha malamig eh.

    Stoners in the woods? I have definitely never encountered that before. Or baka di lang ako aware lol. It sounds not very safe 🤔

      Lol! I was lucky to be able to study in a university large enough to have the resources to offer such classes.

      Nung sa PE namin, we leave early morning Friday, and head back to Manila around Sunday afternoon. Saturday is when we do the actual climb. We didn’t spend overnight in the summit, though some of the volunteers told me that it’s quite an experience daw. They say the reason why we didn’t do that for the class is a lot of us are beginners, and don’t have the stamina to lug all of our belongings and equipment up and down the mountain. The volunteer looked at me as we both laughed. I was woefully out of shape back then, and it’s only through their help and sheer willpower that I made it to the summit, and back to camp.

      Ang nabanggit sa akin about multi-day climbs, may susundan na itinerary since habol nila na makaabot sa campground or summit before sundown. I am kinda sad that I am too out-of-shape for such, since di ko pa rin sya nararanasan.

      Yung stoner na sinabi ko in my previous reply was a classmate, tapos syempre dapat patago, kasi obviously, bawal. He even offered me some, but eh, not really my thing.

        San kayo nag-overnight if not at the summit?

        Na-try ko na mag overnight once dati, grabe, gininaw lang talaga ako tapos triggered yung allergies ko sa lamig 😂 even sharing heat sa ka-close ko dun was not very helpful kasi malamig din sila 💀 kung nag multi-day kami tapos ganyan pa din nako baka suko na ako hahaha. Should’ve brought more layers.

        Ever plan to hike more in the future?

          Ah, dun kami sa campground nag-overnight.

          And yeah, yung lamig sa gabi is one very good reason to invest in a good sleeping bag. I think nanghiram lang ako ng sleeping bag sa kapitbahay nun, and it was adequate naman. If I were to be serious about it in the future, it’s one of the things I need to invest in.

          I want to hike more in the future, but I need to get into shape first.
