» : Camp Art Cookset
 Used by: Omar
 Used for: 4 years



» : Cookset
 Used by: Omar
 Used for: New


This is a new cookset bought from a seller and mountaineer in Bulacan. This is the same cookset Xaru and Yamet was using. Its lightweight, good design and craftsmanship makes me love this set.
» Mini Maglite
  Used by: Omar
  Used for: : 6 years


  I have been using this Maglite for many years now and the functionality still there. Used it as a trail light, tent light, and even a replacement for lamps and lanterns if they are not available. Handy but powerful.
» KOVEA Stove TKB97021
  Used by: Omar
  Used for: : 7 years


  This KOVEA stove is one of the first group equipment that we bought together with our first tent, the Blazing Product Dome Tent. Until now, were still using it during climbs even it is rusty and the igniter doesn’t work anymore. The stove is very stable which can accommodate large pans and pots because of its four leg design and large burner. A 220g Butane Gas Canister can last around 4 hours of continuous running.
» Salomon Niwot Shoes
  Used by: Omar
  Used for: 4 years


  First used this shoe during our Mt. Pulag Climb last April 2003. These low-cut pair is comfortable even at long hikes and good grip too in muddy trails. I would say it’s a good all around shoe, I even used it for running and mountain biking.
» TNF Cedar Mesa
  Used by: Omar
  Used for: New


  I upgraded to a new shoe right now for my Salomon to graduate, but haven’t tested it yet on trail. Surely, time will come.
» TNF Tephra 22Bx Tent
  Used by: Omar
  Used for: 13 months


  First and only used (and surely not the last) this tent last September 2006 during our Manabo Peak Climb. A dream tent that is lightweight compared to my previous tent like Doite Tadpole and Coleman Sundome 7x7 and sturdy because of its modified dome frame. Want to have this tent for long time, and I finally have it.
» Merrell Chameleon Slam
  Used by: Troy
  Used for: 6 Years


  I've been using these pair for 5 years now and yet it's performance is unsurpassed. I've first used it when we trekked Pico de Loro. It's really comfortable and gives a good grip even in the slippery mud - that was when we trek Manabo. Two thumbs up!!
 » Tribu Sandals
  Used by: Troy
  Used for: 4 years

  Locally made sandals that offers the same level of performance and comfort with it's rivals. I last used it during the Tarak Ridge trek. Very good sandals for a very serious trekker...like me.
 » Kovea Moonwalker Stove
  Used by: Troy
  Used for: 5 months

  I just got this stove and what can I say?? It has a compact body when in collapse position. This compact stove has got the bells and the whistle. For me this will be a stove that'll suit every outdoor pursuits.
 » Coleman Epsilon 2 Tent
  Used by: Troy
  Used for: 12 months

  Ultra Compact, stable and lightweight tent. This tent has 2 doors and reflective seams and guyropes which makes it easy to spot at night. I love this tent.
 » Casio Protrek PRG 110-1V
  Used by: Troy
  Used for: 2 months

  Awesome watch! You will definitely find your way around with this watch. It's got a digital compass, barometer and altimeter!! besides the function of a normal watch, this has a lot to offer.
 » Petzl MYO XP Headlamp
  Used by: Troy
  Used for: 18 months

  This headlamp has a high level of performance of up to 150 lumens and a boost mode for longer range lighting. I've only used it once but it does the job really well.
