Where's Jamiz?

A supposed trip to Sagada (again) but in the last minute, we decided to scale some of South Luzon Peaks. This was a free round trip airfare by our officemate / fellow outdoorsman, Rody. And that time he was not feeling well. It was on July of 2013 and our first peak of three was Mt. Pico de loro of Ternate, Cavite. Are you the parrots beak?

Last February 7, 2015, I've got a chance to do some dirt time and gear test at my grandparents place away from town. Took my mountain bike, a few stuff to eat, Rover Camel solo woodstove, my Toaks 550ml Titanium Cookset, my designed bushcraft knife , and the Silangan Outdoor Equipment Santi 13 tent with me. It only took me around 30 minutes to get there through my Cannondale Trail 6 mountain bike. The Best Buddy

I bought this tent from a local tent maker Silangan Outdoor Equipment . I also got a tarp from him in which i used during the typhoon Yolanda / Haian . The tent packed small, it can even fit on my Osprey hydration pack but decided to attach it in the bike handlebars along with the cookset and my earthpad. I got this tent because it uses less poles. You can only use only one pole whether its a bamboo, a straight stick, a trekking pole, a monopod or even your selfie stick if not used.  And it is a solo tent. Compared to Marmot EOS 1P , Marmot is still lighter including the poles. For the price Silangan Santi 13 is very much affordable. Santi 13 Pitched (Bamboo Pole)
