emergencies or to get stock when run out of stock.

3.3.2.5 Don’ts

- When choosing a camping spot or fixing a tent, avoid places

like the following:

I. Too near the water hole, especially the river. This is to avoid

11
 sudden floods caused by rain from the upstream.
II. High grass to avoid danger of fire and crawling animals.
III. Thick bushes that slows movement and have many insects.
IV. Damp swamps.
V. Muddy area that will dirty the tent and equipment.
VI. On high banks or slopes which are slippery and can collapse.
VII. Under big tress or lushes with branches that can break and fall
during heavy downpour.
VIII. Animals pathways to avoid being attacked by wild animals
(tribe, wild big animal).

necessary to look for the complete characteristics
III. Number of participants- if in small groups, the camping spot
is not necessarily wie and water requirement is not big bit it is
the other way around if going in big groups
IV. The environmental is also an important factor in choosing a

a beautiful view. To know the physical of the spot is better in
order to know the equipment required.

- Separate pockets.
- Spacious at the bottom.
- Lastest model comes with a system called the “self-

3.4.1.8 How to pack a backpack

- When preparing : loading your backpack is nearly as the gear

you take. A well-loaded backpack improves balance and
weight distribution, allow you to carry more gear with less

16
 effort.
- Your body will appreciate a properly loaded backpack, so use
this handy guide whenever you are preparing for any kind of
backpacking excursion
- Assemble all the gear you are planning to bring.
- Whenever possible, place smaller times inside larger ones if
they won’t be needed until you make camp. For example:
putting your backpacking food inside your cooking pot will
help maximize the space inside your backpack. It will help if
you separate your gear into three weight groups: light,
medium and heaving.
- Plan to keep at least one water bottle or canteen in a readily
accessible location for when you get thirsty on the tail.

3.4.1.9 Loading your Backpack

- When packing your backpack, be sure to keep the weight

evenly distributed from side to side. If one side of your pack is
heavier than another, it will significantly inhibit your balance.
- Start packing your pack from the bottom up, and from the
“back” out. The “back” refers to the part of the backpack that
will rest against your back (meaning “out” refers to the part of
the backpack closer to you when loading). You will want the
heaviest items packed in such.
- Pack your sleeping bag at the bottom of your backpack.
- Depending on the model of backpack, you may have a
compartment specifically for your sleeping bag. If you have
an external frame backpack or a pack without a sleeping bad
compartment, you may to tie your sleeping bag to the bottom
of your backpack.
- Remember that your lightest items should be the furthest
from your back to prevent unnecessary stress and torque on
your skeletal structure.
- Remember to avoid loading anything that may shift into the
top part of your pack, as this may cause you to lose your
balance. You may want to use extra socks or similar soft
goods as filler to keep loose items from shifting.
- Before setting out, try your pack on to make sure there are no
items sticking in to your back.

3.4.1.10 Please note the regulations below:

- All supplies must be loaded into the backpack. Avoid hanging

things on the backpack.
- Things that need to be unloaded first must be on the
uppermost of the backpack or in the pockets of the backpack

17
 (like food/water along the way, first aid kit, maps and so on).
- Arrange the things properly to avoid any bulging or wasted
space.
- Balance the weight so that they are equal on both right and
left sides.
- To avoid things from getting wet, load them into a polythene
bag before loading into the backpack. Better if the things are
wrapped separately before loading into the main polythene
bad.
- Practice yourself by keeping the things in the same space
and arrangement of the backpack. This is so you can easily
take your things without having to search for them and this
certainly helps during the night or emergencies.

3.4.2 Tents

- Your tent is a important piece of camping equipment, if not

the most important.
- The tent is your home away from home.
- Tents are protection made of cloth canvass or other material
that is mobile.
- It gives protection against wind and rain.
- Some tents protect from insects and crawling animals.
- Tents are offered in cabins, triangle, domes and other
geometric shapes.
- Choose a tent that meets your outdoor recreation needs for
protection, comfort, size, weight and features.

3.4.2.1 Points to consider when selecting tents:

- Protection: tents chosen must be able to protect from

weather like rain, heat, wind and so on. It should also protect
from insects and crawling animals.
- Comfort: The tent should make a comfortable sleeping area
and has space to store things.
- Waterproof: Make sure the tent you buy is waterproof, but it
is not easy to find a really waterproof tent. There are some in
market come with waterproof coating, non-cracking rubber
and silicon treated.
- Durability: The tent must be light and durable. Can be used
in any environment and does not tear easily when used and
is washable with water and does not contain bleaching
material.
- Size: Choose a tent with logical size or according to usage. If
it is for two persons, it is not practical to use a six pack tent.

18
 The minimal size suitable to be used for camping is a tent for
two people. This is so you have a company when you camp.
The biggest size suitable is that fits 4 people. Bigger size
than that will cause difficult handling in terms of
accommodation, storage of thing, cleanliness.

3.4.2.2 Types of tents

- Divided into three categories: bivouac, ridge and frame

- Bivouac: In French, it means forced camping which means it
is simple. This type of camping is done by the Armed Forces
on duty in the forest. This tent is suitable when there is no
suitable area to put up a normal tent or when the night
weather is so good and beautiful that you want to enjoy
gazing at the stars and earth phenomenon in the silence of
the night.
- Ridge: It’s heavier, more expensive and consumes more
time to fix. This tent is only suitable for camping, involving
vehicles, whereby the camping area is not far from the road.
For camping where you need to walk and carry weights to
reach a camping area, the Frame Tent and the Bivouac are
recommended.
- Frame: This tent consists of “A shape” , “Dome” , different
environment, different weather (wind direction, temperature)
and the specifications are as follows:

I. 2 pole free standing tent with dual top windows.

II. Perfect for stargazing.
III. 2 door design lets you out on either side even with the rain fly
on.
IV. Heavy duty YKK zippers and clips.
V. 2 pockets for personal items.
VI. 2 inside loops for hanging gear.
VII. Full-coverage rainfly with UV resistant 75D diamond rip stop
nylon.
VIII. 40000 PU waterproof coating.
IX. Velcro tabs allow for quick access through the doors.
X. Hooded vents and heat taped seams keep you dry.
XI. 21000 Oxford nylon bucket style floor with 4000 PU.
XII. Ultra-light 9.5mm air-craft quality aluminum poles for durability
and simplest set up.
XIII. Fiberglass frame/poles for simple set up.
XIV. Free standing so tent can be to optimal position before staking
it down.
XV. Double stich and bar tack design webbing for longer life and
extra durability

19
3.4.2.3 Fixing tent

- It is important to know how to fix tents.

- The skill can be acquired by practice. It can be learned from
pictures or from an experienced friend.
- Do not bring a tent that you have no idea how to fix.
- To fix a tent, you have to follow the following :

I. Fix a tent on a suitable chosen spot

II. Makes sure when fixing the tent, the entrance of the tent does
not face the wind direction. This is to avoid the wind because it
can be very cold, especially in the mountains.
III. If fixing a tent on sand or soft land, where the pegs can easily
fly off, fixed some woods to the ground to hold the strings of
the tent. Some will fly off if exposed to strong wind
IV. Clean the camping spot from rubbish, stones, stubble and so
on
V. The pegs of the tent must be 90% with the ground when fixing
them
VI. During downpour, the strings of the tent must be loosen slightly
VII. Distance between one tent to the other must not be too near
that movement is difficult and spreading is easy in case of fire.
The best distance is 4 meters apart

3.4.2.4 Tent cleanliness

- Never leave food opened from the can or container in the tent
because this will invite flies, ants and other insects into the
tent. Put the food outside or make shelves.

- Clean the tent from any rubbish and dry whichever part that is
wet or damp. Make sure the sunlight can shine into the tent.
- Do not leave wet or damp clothing in the tent. Avoid putting
any wet clothing on any part of the tent.

3.4.3 Sleeping bag

- Can mean the difference but a fun outing and a miserable

one. It is the most important piece of equipment of your
camping trip. Sleeping bag is your bed away from home.
Campers have many choices in selecting a sleeping bag to
meet a wide variety of needs. Sleeping bag styles vary from
rectangular to mummy. A rectangular style sleeping bags
allows more freedom of movement, while a mummy style
sleeping bag will generally keep you warmer in colder

20
 temperatures. Some sleeping bags are designed to benefit
from both styles.
- A sleeping bag is used to warm the body while sleeping at
night in high areas. On normal ground, it is also needed
sometimes because of cold night air from strong winds and
heavy rain. By using a sleeping bag that covers the whole
body (except the face) the heat is trapped between the skin
and the surface of the bag. The trapped heat keeps the body
warm. The heating process Is called insulation. From this
statement, it is clear that the sleeping bag does not exude
heat but traps heat from coming out.
- Mummy sleeping Bag, square sleeping bag.
- Specifications:

I. Insulated with water resistance synthetic-mirco-fibre to keep

you warm in most conditions.
II. Unlike most bags it use durable, light-weight water resistant
rip-stop nylon shell and liner that compresses great and is
extremely soft yet tuff.
III. Full contoured style hoods retain more heat and fit your heat
for a comfortable sleep.
IV. 2 layer offset quilting prevents cold sports by overlapping
insulation and seems.
V. Adjustable insulated draft collar creates an airtight closure
around upper body.
VI. Overlapping insulated draft tube runs the full length of zipper to
eliminate heat loss through zipper.
VII. YKK zipper is double stitched for extra strength
VIII. Free compression sack
IX. Length: 94’’
X. Shoulders: 39’’
XI. Foot: 39”
XII. Wight: 8.3 lbs.
XIII. Pack size 19” X 12”
XIV. Zip: plastic zip is better because it is light and rust free. In the
cold night, if your skin touches a metal zip, you will feel cold.
Make sure the zip is functioning. The sleeping bag must be
exposed to sunlight every morning and make sure it clean and
dry.

3.4.4 Clothing Information

- 3 pair of clothes.
- Hat : your head exudes heat for the whole body +/- 40
percent F.Better to cover your head to protect against rain,
heat, hard objects and insects.

21
 - T-shirt: loose, long sleeves, cotton for hot, wool for cold,
better with more than one pocket.
- Pants: Long pants, loose gives freedom of movement, thick
to protect from thorns, better with two pockets in front and
two behinds and if possible with pockets on the sides, cotton
material for hot weather and wool material for cold weather,
track suits for sleeping

tooth paste, brush, and soap

3.4.5 How to choose hiking /Trekking foot wear:

- As a beginning backpacker choosing the right footwear may

be the most important decision.
- The shoes or boots you choose must be comfortable, durable
and protective, mile after mile.

I. Select the appropriate boots or shoes based on your planned

activity. Mountaineering boots must be much heavier and more
substantial than day-hiking boots
II. Learn about material used to make your footwear whether you
need heavy, water proof material or lighter weight and
breathable one
III. Consider how boot construction will affect your activity
IV. Get your feet measured properly and then try on the boots with
the appropriate socks. Take a test walk on a flat surface and
then an incline and check for any slippage or discomfort.

- Slippers: To relax the foot and expose to fresh air.

Particulars 3.5.1 Cooking utensils

- Fire: is essential during camping, it’s important for cooking,

heating the body and lightning the camping area.
- Stove: 3 types of stove for cooking: gas stove, gasoline stove
and the stove used by the army. Own stove can be made
using firewood. The stove is a group equipment.

Gas stove
Suitable for camping by motor vehicle because the gas container is
very heavy. It’s not suitable for lightweight camping or on foot even
though it is easy and fast to use. The cost is also a bit expensive.

Gasoline stove
This stove is cheap and light but requires skill.

Stove Used by the Army

It requires a light material that is made of chemical material called
“solid fuel”. It’s suitable to cook on mess tins. Another type- a
chemical that is put a tin. To use, just light the material in the tin.

Firewood stove
Needs wood as the lighting material. Also requires skill to light the
fire from wood

Follow these rules:

I. Distance between the stove is 8-10 feet from the tents
II. Make a small fire to maintain the cleanliness and safety
III. Do not make a fire under the tress’
IV. Put off the fire of unused stoves and cover the embers.
V. Wood or stones used to make the stove must be taken out

3.5.2 Cooking/Eating container

- For a group of 4 ppl, a container for 2.5 liter is required. The

container must have a handle for easy handling during
cooking.
- Another method is to use the mess tins. One mess tin can
cook for 2 ppl only (if anyone eats less, can cook for 3 ppl).

23
 The mess tin is standard in size.
- Other than mess tin, plate or bowl must be made plastic
because it doesn’t break easily. Make sure you do not bring
any glass container/equipment.

3.5.3 Water container

- For water container, an aluminum or plastic cup is suitable.
- It is better to bring along a bottle set as it contains both.
- This set can be carried with the belt or put it in the backpack
pocket. The reason for the water bottle is for drinking along
the way, no glass container/equipment.

3.5.4 Drinking Water

Do not drink inflowing water except after boiling. River water flowing
from the forest, upstream in the mountains and far from pollution is
safe to drink directly.

string, trap string, needles & thread and medical supplies.

3.5.18 Health & personal hygiene

Wash your hands before touching any food or use a clean spoon.
Cut your fingernails if long. During camping, use slippers to walk. Do
not wear wet clothes. Make sure you take anti-malaria pills before
venturing into the forest or remote area. Get enough rest and sleep.
Do some light exercise once you’re up in the morning.

3.5.19 Bowel Disposal

-For bowel disposal, it is best to dig a hole. ½ meter deep, ½ meter
X ½ meter wide (the size of the hole depends on the number of
participants) .The wall can be made of cloth or leaves. It is best to
cover with some sands after each use. It’s even better to use a
chemical in the hole. If camping alone, this is not a problem. You
can dig a hole for yourself by 15cm deep. Make sure the hole is
covered back when leaving the camping area. Make sure the
following are observed strictly.Do not dispose near camping spot.

25
Make a distance at least 100m away. No dispose near water source,
distance 100m away. If near a river, do it at downstream. No waste
in water

3.5.20 Garbage Disposal

Garbage is the main factor dirtying a camping spot. When planning
for camping, plan less food that causes much garbage. Do not
dispose garbage like food scraps or food everywhere. This can
cause bad smell and invite flies. Dig a hole and dispose the garbage
there. The distance between the hole and the tents must be 10
meters away and hole must be cover when camping over. Empty
can must be buried or taken back along for proper disposed. Avoid
fire, if needed, make it as minimum as possible

3.5.21 Climbing rope

Rope: During hiking and climbing, we will face very high slopes and
cross-rivers with strong current or face emergencies. To those
experienced, all that may not be a problem. For a leader leading a
group of inexperienced people, safety procedures are important.
It’s not to train you become a rock climber but to introduce basic
techniques as a preparation to lead a group of inexperienced
people.

From the discussion and practice below, the above topic can help
you to identify and use the climbing rope.

Specific rope:
The use of rope is for security to protect the user, either a mountain
or hill walker. For mountain climbers, the rope is used for climbing
The size of rope is ascertained by diameter, 7mm and below is not
recommended because of difficult handling. Make use the rope used
has been tested as certified by Union des Association Alpinnisme.
When we discuss about monitoring the high slopes, the most
important tool is the rope. There are many types of ropes used and
can be divided into the following:
i. Nylon/Polyamide or perlon
ii. Hawser laid
iii. Kermantle

i. Nylon
Generally, is light and is not water absorbent but it has
stretch ability and this rope has a low melting point. It can
heat up quickly and break with resistance. This is certainly
dangerous if you’re taking a group through high slopes.

26
 ii. Hawser Laid
aka manila. Generally in Malysia, it limited to big diameter,
difficult used in high slope and water absorbent.
Normally, it will become heavy when soaked in water and
this makes your journey difficult. This rope is also rough
and f your use “Figure of Eight” on this rope that has
contacted sand, a big resistance will occur which will
destroy the “figure of eight”.
iii. Kermantle is the breakthrough rope for climbers. In
German “ker” means external and “mantle” means fibre
stripe/ This characteristic protects the climber from
pressure and knotting. Kermantle also has the abrasion
resistance. It’s water resistant, easy to carry. Size 45-50m
with diameter 9 or 11 mm
a. Dynamic rope
b. Static rope
a. Dynamic rope: important characteristic of this rope is it has
“energy absorption capacity” which gives stretch ability
against weight(it falls).
b. Static rope: its low stretching coefficient, they are unable to
absorb energy and therefore not suitable for abseiling/
rappelling activities.
This rope needs to achieve the strength limit as set by the
Union International des Association d’’ Alpinisme (U.I.A.A)

3.5.22 Knots
I. Bowline
II. Clove hitch
III. Figure of eight
IV. Fisherman knot
V. Thumb knot

Bowline: use the Bowline for tying to objects, animals, or ppl when
reliability is important. The bowline is a good knot to tie to a person
in a rescue situation(it would not strangle).

Clove hitch: strong, easy to detach anchor knot that can be used at
the end or in the middle point of the rope

Figure of eight: the most secure and common way to tie into your
harness. The knot is the strongest if the working end stays on the
inside and no strands are crossed. This can also be tied very easily
when making a loop. The figure of eight can be untied with ease
after it has held weight.

27
Double fishermen knot: strong and use knot for creating sling and
joining rope
Thumb knot: Another name for overhand knot. It’s used in place of
a figure of eight knot to prevent the end of a rope or fall unreenving
through a bloc, but most seamen advise its use because it can jam.

3.5.23 Food

Food selection must be based on these criteria:

I. Time
II. Nutritious
III. Cost/budget
IV. Weight
V. Suitable

- Food for camping must be fast and easy to prepare but this
doesn’t mean that food for camping should not be emphasized
on.
- Food for camping should be like the daily fresh food,
nutritious, easy to digest and contains sufficient vitamins and
protein.
- This is essential because a lot more energy is used compared
to usual time.
- Even though many tends to eat less during camping.
- One suitable thing is to prepare an eating schedule. With this
schedule, you can decide the type of food for every meal. This
will save time and cost.
- As mentioned above, whatever food you choose, it must be
fast and easy to prepare. However, the food must be good to
eat and contain all the nutrition and vitamins needed.
- Wet food like meat fish and vegetables are nutritious but
cannot last long if not refrigerated.
- An alternative is to bring dry and fast foods. Even though, they
are dry and fast to prepare, the nutrition and vitamins are
maintained.
- Food for camping must be easy to carry and can last for
certain periods. Currently, lots of fast food like soup, mee,
dried vegetables or fruit also available.
- Meat, squid, fish can be used.
- You only need to consider the quantity and your ability to eat.
- You can also prepare at home meat and fish which are good
to eat and easy to bring for camping and durable activities.

28
3.5.24 Food planning

A guideline in preparing food for your camping trip:

Let’s say you are going for a 3 day camping trip during the weekend.
You will go after breakfast and expect to arrive at the camping spot
in the evening. You must prepare an evening meal and dinner at the
camping spot and so on for the next days.
Menu- show in table (breakfast, lunch, tea-time & dinner)
This example menu gives a true picture of preparing the required
meals, for your camping trip. By preparing this type of menu, you
can plan on the food amount to prepare for every meal. This way,
you know you eat sufficiently and no food requirement is neglected.
With this planning, you know what food is suitable for you. Now ur
plan even more accurate, no worry about rice, tea, milk, bread, mee
and so on. U must remember that too much food will cause u much
burden and wastage. While camping, cook just enough for you.
Cooking extra is not only wasting time but energy and money as
well.

3.5.35 Food distribution

When camping in a group, food distribution is important. Make sure
every member or participant has equal share. Every participant must
bring complete food, not just one type. This will ensure that you can
still maintain balanced diet.

Methods of wrapping
All types of food, dry or wet must be wrapped properly. Plastic
containers can be used but ensure they don’t break or open easily.
Another method is to wrap the food in plastic. Even though, it was
said that this is not recommended, it doesn’t mean that it cannot be
used at all. As u may know, plastic versatile if used correctly make
ur camping easy. Im usinhg plastic, u can reduce the use of tin and
bottle. Make sure u dispose container properly so as not to pollute
the environment. Choosing and wrapping method of food is
important to maintain comfort, cleanliness and safety.

3.5.26 Drinks
Drinks must be carried in light containers. If possible, do not use
glass bottles. Glass is heavy and east to break. If you’re carrying
drinks that need to be mixed, use a plastic container. However now
many drink mix is in powder form. This type is easy to carry, light
and east to prepare while it taste good and contains the nutrition.
Types of drink should be easy to carry and prepare and can last
long whithout any special equipment. Reduce usage if tin
containers, bottles and bicarbonate water.

3.5.27 Achievements

Some of the achievements enjoyed by an individual after performing

physical recreational activities are below:
i. Happiness and fun
Through past experiences, one can feel the joy and that
these experiences contribute to enriching oneself
Satisfaction: after joy and fun, feel satisfied and have the
sense of being appreciated by other
ii. Balance: One needs something in bt outside pressure and
inside needs. If this doesn’t exist, one will feel the stress
and internal conflicts. The balance can be achieved by
involving in physical recreational activities.
iii. Creativity: Modern way of life has limited one’s opportunity
to create outdoor activities or recreation enable one’s
physical to produce creativity

 4.0 PART 2 : LOG OF CAMPING ACTIVITIES & DETAILS

4.1 INTRODUCTION

The major event of this co-curriculum activity is camping which was

successfully held on 9th April 2011 to 10th April 2011 at Bukit Larut, Taiping,
Perak. This camping was participated by students of Recreational & Adventure I
(KAM 1051) semester January 2011. This camping was supervised by our
lecturer Mr. Rosli Din supported by our captain (Trinh Tuan Duong) and two co-
captains (Hidayatun Nafisah Isa Muddin and Siti Hajar A. Hamid). They managed
to lead the camping successfully.
The objective of this camping was to expose the students towards the life
of being survival in the forest. Moreover, this camping was conducted for the
purpose to enhance and sharpen the skills of the students like setting up the
tents, cooking, and working together as a team and also to ensure all the
students implemented the knowledges and theories learnt throughout the lecture
session.
Since 12 small groups consists of 4 to 6 students had been formed,
therefore, each of them needs to cooperate with each other in order to survive.
Everyone of us needs to do and prepare everything from the beginning till the
end. We cannot rely on our lecturer since everything had been taught during the
class. Therefore, everyone must be really prepared physically and mentally. Only
those who were well prepared will be able to overcome all the obstacles and
challenges during the camping.
Although this camping only conducted for 2 days, I had learnt a lots of new
things and gained new experiences especially. These experiences and
knowledges are really valuable.

4.5 CAMPSITE LOCATION HISTORY

Bukit Larut was founded in 1888 and is Malaysia's oldest hill resort. It rises
to a height of 1,035 meters, just 3km (10 mins drive) from Taiping, Perak. It is
located in the wettest part of the country, as the hill station experiences the
highest rainfall in the country. William Edward Maxwell who was appointed as
Assistant Resident of Perak in 1875 worked and lived in the Larut area.
Taiping was a beautiful basin, surrounded by lush tropical jungle and lofty
hills. The cool, jungle air brought in by the morning breeze prompted Maxwell on
a quest for a hill station that sourced this place for hill resort. Hence Bukit Larut
was formerly called as 'Maxwell Hill'. The road leading up to the 1,000m high
summit, winds through lush shady forest. After the ride up, you will be rewarded
with fresh and cool hill top air and a breathtaking view at the Larut Rest house.
