    mt. pulag is a relatively tame mountain, gradual increase in elevation. tents madali na pagusapan yun. stoves i think i have 2, cooking sets ang kulang ko. i have 1 set good for 3-4 people, pero knowing how we are baka pang dalawa lang ang mailuto ko dito.

    secure a reliable backpack, big enough to handle at least 1 gallon of water. it's been a while since i went up pulog so i don't know how good the water source there is now, but i will be bringing my filtration system just in case.

    get good shoes that wil provide you with ample ankle support

    That probably makes two of us, Papa Moxxxs. In addition to what sir Arvin has mentioned, here are the suggested Things to Bring that sir G01 and i discussed:

    -Flashlight/s
    -Canned or Packed Goods and Cooking wares (a la Sir Manolo/Bigblock's style) or an assigned cook among the group
    -Cooked food (Baon) for at least 1-2 days for those who wish not to cook
    -Black Plastic Bags for proper waste disposal
    -Toiletries and Alcohol
    -Warm Clothing (Gloves, Bonnet, Warm Socks, etc…)
    -Drinking Water (probably 2 liters or how much you think how thirsty you can be)
    -First Aid Kit + meds for joint pains, headache or any type of discomfort you might encounter/allergies
    -Tent (decide amongst the group who will share or who will go Solo)
