Hiking Mt. Manalmon and Bayukbok Caves

March 7, 2020 by Ray L Leave a Comment

hiking mt manalmon and bayukbok caves one adventurer

A small hill of just around 196 meters above sea level in San Miguel, Bulacan, Mt. Manalmon is one of the best hikes for first timers looking for a quick adventure near Manila. Now I won’t bore you with the details that you can find in other websites, but here’s a quick overview:

  • It’s a very easy one to two hour hike that’s great for beginners.
  • Aside from hiking, there are also rivers you can swim in and caves for you to explore. You get to try at least three different adventures all in one day.

What to bring for your hike:

  • Some money for registration and guide fees.
    • Note: Registration and guide fees change often, but expect the registration fees to be less than P100 per person, and the guide fees to cost around P500 or so (P300 for Manalmon hike + P200 Bayukbok cave). These prices may increase, by the way, so prepare a little extra.
  • Wear good sports clothes and good shoes or sandals.
  • Water (1-2 liters) and snacks. Put them in a backpack for your hike.
  • Change of clothes and towel. There are showers in the area if you want to change into clean clothes for your ride home.
  • Headlamp or flashlight for Bayukbok cave.
  • (Optional) Gloves. Handholds in Bayukbok cave are often muddy.
  • (Optional) Swimwear if you want to swim in the rivers.

What is “Leave no Trace” when Hiking? Here’s a Quick Overview!

December 11, 2019 by Ray L 2 Comments

what is leave no trace when hiking one adventurer

Nature is beautiful, but also very fragile, so we all have to practice the “leave no trace” (LNT) principle to minimize the damage that we do to our environment whenever we travel the great outdoors.

Just imagine a three-hour uphill hike through a hot and humid jungle to get to a beautiful mountain summit. Tired from the hike, you decide to sit down and enjoy the beautiful mountain view. As you take off your backpack and prepare to sit, you notice three muddy cigarette butts near your left foot, a half-buried empty bag of chips beside the spot you’re sitting on, and several other pieces of trash all over the summit you’ve worked so hard to reach.

Would you enjoy that? Probably not. That’s why we shouldn’t be like the people who leave trash around like that in the first place. Let’s all practice the “leave no trace” principle when we’re out to enjoy nature.

How to Prepare a First Aid Kit for Hiking

How to Prepare a First Aid Kit for Hiking one adventurer

I’ve always enjoyed the outdoors, and although I’m not one of the most hardcore hikers out there, I still managed to join and volunteer at a hiking company that guides beginners and advanced hikers alike in the most popular mountains of the Philippines. 

One major requirement for their guides and volunteers, however, is that they always carry a first aid kit and they undergo basic life support and first aid training every one or two years. These are just some of what we carry, and a few more that was recommended by the veteran search and rescue officer who trained us.

Note: We usually go on “day hikes” in a tropical climate where river crossings and rain storms are fairly common and thus we are equipped accordingly. If you’re going on a longer trek or you’re going to hike in a different climate like a desert or a snowy region, you might want to bring other specialized first aid and survival equipment that’s appropriate for what you will do.
