Packing of Equipments

There are three things to consider in packing your equipment:

MAXIMUM CARRYING LOAD should not exceed one-third(1/3) of your body weight, this is not to limit your perfomance during the climb.

ACCESSIBILITY, BALANCE & COMPRESSIBILTY(ABC): The goal is to have balanced pack so the light items should be packed at the bottom and away from the frame while heavy items should be placed closed to the back. Essentials(i.e. rain gear, first aid, swiss knife, trail food & water should be in the top compartment.





















WATER PROOFING: All equipment which may damaged by wter should be sealed in durable plastic bags. Use a large plastic as the inner lining for the backpack to provide additional protection. Watch out for those pointed gear while packing. Use Ziplocks for electronic gadgets.
