We usually send trekking reminders to help you in packing. If you're a team leader of your group, you have to ensure that info is properly disseminated among your team to help them pack the necessary things. Most of the time, Team Leaders were blamed by their members on the final trek date because they failed to forward or discuss these important reminders.
PACK YOUR THINGS RIGHT AND LIGHT
It's really a no no to pack things as if you're going in a holiday abroad. Please note that you are going to a mountain so please don't bring bulky baggage because it would make your trekking difficult and tiring. Pack only what you need. You may prepare 2 bags, the back pack that you will bring when you climb & small bag for things that you will use after the trekking. You may leave this at the dispatching area, in your car or in a paid locker with key.
Please use medium sized back pack. It's just a one day trip so the lighter, the better. Just limit your baggage from 3 to 4kilos.
You may bring the following:
Please don't bring valuables/jewelry during trekking. Most of our clients lost their mobile phones, jewelries or watches either at the trail, when they swim or during shower. Some cases, while applying sunblock, they will remove their watch or bracelet then forget it afterwards. There is no assurance that you can recover lost valuables so please leave it at home/car

Furthermore, you need to cover your things, mobile phones, wallets & camera or any other electronic gadgets with zip locked plastic to ensure safety. Please note that some of my past clients who disregarded this particular reminder were caught in the midst of heavy rain as they descend from the mountain and their cams & phones were soaking wet.
Dear Juliet Robin and all the crew,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for providing the most amazing experience ever! From the jeep ride to the trek and from swimming in the turquoise lake to the moonlight camping experience at the crater. Great fun and most professional and friendly service.
We are now friends for life!
Warm wishes,
Roberta and Jorg.
Hello...may i ask what to bring when trekking mt pinatubo?thanks
ReplyDeleteHi, is there an age limit for the trek? My son is 11 years old and want to go with us. What is your policy in regard to minor???
ReplyDeleteHi, there is no age limit during summer in fact the youngest participant we had so far was an 8 month old baby carried by her mountaineer mom while the oldest was a 72 years old doctor. However, during the rainy season, we discourage kids & elderly because of difficult trails. At this time, rainy season is almost over and 11 years old is fine but this will still depends upon his physical strength. You must ensure that your kid is physically fit and no illness that might be triggered by this activity. Thank you! To book your trip, just fill up an online registration form.
