Ready for Mt. Pulag

More than a week out, yet I am very excited for the climb up Mt. Pulag. It's been a while since I went hiking and despite my previous disposition of not climbing anything higher than Level 1 (ok maybe 2), I am ready to embark on a Level 3 climb that spans 3 to 4 days. Of course half of the time is just getting there, but it's all good.

A few worries though are:

1. My knee. I've had this problem for the longest time and I just hope it stands up. It hurt a little during the Urbanathlon last week, but not as bad as when we had the Jungle Survival Training way back when.

2. Food. I am a relatively big eater. Or better yet, I get hungry every 2 hours. And if I don't eat, I shrink hehe. And will all the hard work I've put in to gain weight, I don't want to loose it with just one hike. I also need a lot of food to sustain me through this adventure. Not quite sure if I can stash enough food (and the right ones) in my bag.

3. Temperature. I hear it goes down to 6 degrees Celcius up there. I have been to Vermont and it's sub zero temperatures but I had some winter clothes then. I don't want to lug all that bulky and heavy clothing up the mountain. I just hope what I brought would be sufficient.

Despite these concerns, I am good to go! Mt. Pulag here I come!
