 Part of my minimum kit each time I head out into the jungle We never go into jungle without a minimum kit. This is especially true if it is just a day trip. It is a kit that contains some must have items with us. Something we adopted from one of our previous jobs and it has stuck with us ever since. While some of our friends thinks it is simply overloading, we find it necessary…even when we are with a group of friends. So…here’s a little bit on our minimum kit.  Hammock is the way to go in the Malaysian jungle I have always been a firm believer that a lightweight hammock & a reliable flysheet is the best way to sleeping shelter in the jungle. Hammocks keeps you off the ground, easy to set-up and is probably the one shelter with the least impact on the natural environment. If you are looking for a hammock to use in the jungle, try browsing Outdoor Gear Malaysia. Together we some friends, we have set-up this online gear store to provide an affordable and (more importantly) practical range of outdoor gear. It is possible to find outdoor gear in Malaysia but more often than not, they are impractical, overly priced and limited in terms of choices. And since we have been getting quite some questions from readers all over (normally from tourists coming to visit Malaysia) about gear (where to buy?, should I get this & that? , can I use my Goretex shoes in Malaysia? etc)…we thought we might as well share some useful information about outdoor gear in Malaysia here.  Find practical, affordable & field tested equipment at www.outdoor-gear-malaysia.com A few of us then got together and decided it is time to start an online site that talks about outdoor and camping gear in Malaysia. It is a resource that we hope over time will provide not only free and practical solutions to those looking for gear but also a place to shop at unbeatable prices! So…we are happy to announce that with the collaboration of a few friends (writes & field testers), outdoor equipment suppliers. we bring you www.outdoor-gear-malaysia.com We do hope you will find this new site useful and informative. If you have any questions or would like to place an inquiry on some outdoor gear you have been looking for, do write to us here. So, do visit this page from time to time as we will be updating them whenever we spot something really great for use in our Malaysian jungle. Thanks for your visit! Keong, Meun and Sox  Finally, we bought our kayaks! We thought about buying kayak for our own use in Malaysia for a very long time. Having once worked in an outdoor education center where ocean expedition is a major activity, it is only natural that we had a longing to paddle again. While finances and budget has been the major factor holding us back from buying, the other ‘excuses’ includes not knowing where to paddle and where to buy them from.  Which backpack to choose for Malaysia jungle? How do you choose a jungle backpack for use in Malaysia? This is one question I get very often from friends. An important and valid question considering the amount of investment that’s going into this piece of outdoor gear. More often than not, people purchase packs based on brands, fanciful designs and whatever’s current. It is also common that people choose a particular pack because of the ‘prestige’ feeling that comes with the brand. I know this because I am one of them …well, at least I used to be. Continue reading Choosing a jungle backpack for use in Malaysia  What to use and where to buy outdoor gear in Malaysia? Several people have emailed me through this site asking about outdoor gear in Malaysia. Some was curious to know what gear is suitable for the Malaysian jungle while others just wanted to know where to get stuff. I can relate to many of them looking for gear because like them, I too was (once) in the dark on what gear to use and where to find them in Malaysia. First of all, I have to admit that I am a bit of a gear junkie. Backpacks, knives, stoves and shelters have long been my passion. Sourcing for these outdoor gears in Malaysia at the cheapest price is my way of going around feeding my addiction with my mere salary. |
