I am an uninitiated mountaineer....what are the necessary preparations I need to make to be able to conquer mt. pulag? any special gear or equipment I need to purchase and bring so as not to be a hassle to others (i.e. tent, cook wares and equipments, etc.)? thanks.

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

[bigblock]

in addition to that,dont forget to bring medicine specially flanax!!!

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)

May porters di ba?

I also suppose anti-allergy med like claritin, virlix, xyzal or zyrtec is also a must? Plus Ventolin?

As usual, intention to go pa lang ako...

Apol + 1 * 4x2 * w/ tent (for four but I snore) * generous appetite always brought
