LAGATAW: Buying a Tent
http://www.lagataw.com/2012/12/buying-tent.html
Friday, December 14, 2012. Tents @ Mt Madja-as. Trekking and camping ordinarily involve the use of tents. Your tent is your shelter when you’re out there.

Wednesday, September 17, 2014. Why I don't Organize Climbs. The First Lagataw Invitational Climb. Sa tinagal ko sa larangan ng outdoor activities, I seldom organize events. And when I do, it is in small numbers. And many have asked why I always wanna go solo or minimalistic. So here’s the story! First, I am the unpleasant juxtaposition of three personalities—tyrannical, uncompromising and hot-headed. Secondly, I don’t wanna make money out of the recreation I love! Ulit, HINDI KA GUEST!

Tuesday, April 28, 2015. AJ Mercado and his photo ops with Johnny Salinas at the crater summit. As I have maintained before, organizing events is not my cupof tea. But, once in a while, when I know that the event is worth sharing and the company is worth the time, I would go out of my way to make it happen. The pilot Run Laon. The Mapot Trail entry. Then at 10 in the morning of April 26. All ten of us at Makawiwili Peak. I joined the tail pack on our descent and we reached the shoulder campsite a little ...

LAGATAW: The Ultimate Lagataw Journey

Monday, May 4, 2015. The Ultimate Lagataw Journey. Can my Mobex last six months? Ten years of travelling is probably enough to prepare me for my ultimate journey. Many would liken this to Supertramping but just like most of my journeys I don't intend to emulate any personage. And I don't want to be different either. Without reference to any other activity, I do what I come up with. After all, that's what life is all about! This is all the plan I have. September 16, 2015 at 7:53 PM. Like us on Facebook.

LAGATAW: Minimalist Camping
http://www.lagataw.com/2012/11/minimalist-camping.html
Monday, November 5, 2012. Going solo at Alto Peak in 2006. Why do you have to dig a hole in the ground to make a furnace and lay a bed of coal covered with hardwood when you can keep yourself warm in a -10. So here, an average Joe is laying down his OWN standards for minimalist camping in the Philippines. Minimum amount of stuff. Self-reliance, as I mentioned above, could also mean being able to survive when all else fails (e.g. technology and weather). It doesn’t matter which brand of pack the min...
