Proper gears

Trekking shoes

Posted Image

Many of the trekkers for this tour were wearing rubber slippers such sa those flip flops and havaianas. They were having a hard time climbing the muddy and slippery slope.

Rubber slippers will often get buried in the mud.

Your feet will even slip off when mud gets stuck on its topside. It will be hard for you to walk once the mud gets stuck on your slippers.

Try this one above instead. It's made of rubber entirely it will give your feet a good grip even when mud gets into it.

This is totally water-proof and it's soft enough to prevent your feet from suffering blisters due to friction and sharp edges like those several badly designed shoes.

I bought a branded one before, which was made of all-rubber but it failed me since there were sharp edges that hurt my feet. It was so uncomfortable to wear.

So far this one in the above photo is the best trekking shoes I have.

I got this from Farmer's Mall in Cubao for only P400.

Buy your own DRY BAG too. See photo above.

You need this to secure your valuables (phones, camera and wallet,) especially when crossing rivers or when it suddenly rains.

Get the one with a sling in order for you to easily carry it on your shoulder.

You may get one from SM malls. Price ranges from P600 to P1,500 or more.


Belt bags

The dark green bag is a belt bag. You need this to allow yourself to carry your wallet and phones but remain light, considering the trek.

Usually, in those day tours, you will simply leave your heavy backpacks in the car and just carry a few items that you want to secure, such as your wallet and phones.

I got this for only P300.

I’m preparing a shopping list for a trekking that I’ve planned. Have already included a sturdy backpack and comfortable leggings and t-shirt in the list. Thanks for sharing the information as now I’ll also be adding these shoes now to my list of requirements. The trail that I’ll be trekking at is a bit slippery so these can be useful for me.
