10 tips for luxury camping

How To Glamp Like The Celebs Do Camping used to be synonymous with tacky green canvas tents, puffy sleeping bags and canned beans over the campfire. Now? Well, let’s say it’s evolved a bit. You can rent tents equipped with bathrooms, crystal chandeliers, hammocks and 600 thread-count sheets. Glamping is here to stay, and we couldn’t be happier. So how do you glamp? And where can you find the best places to do it? Not all campsites offer luxury camping, so you need to do a little research. Before you hit the road for a week of glamping, check out our tips and suggestions for a relaxing and luxurious outdoor vacation. 1 Plan early As with any vacation, you want to give yourself ample months to plan. This will ensure the campsite or resort you want is available. Because glamping is so popular, many places book out months in advance.   2 Scout the perfect spot You won't find the A-listers glamping out in the middle of nowhere. Many hot glamping resorts and campsites are adjacent to beaches or in pristine mountain areas. If you're in California, check out Costanoa for beach and mountain access. For a more rustic experience, stay in one of Oregon State Parks' luxury yurts, which are also pet-friendly! 3 Villa, tent, yurt or tree house? Before you glamp, you need to get acquainted with the terms. A villa or hut is a large freestanding cottage with at least one bedroom. Many come with kitchenettes, private pools and decks! A tent is a portable canvas home that can have up to four bedrooms, a kitchen and private bath. A yurt is a collapsible circular tent that either has a door and windows or a flap. A tree house is a luxury home perched in the forest and often has one bedroom and a small kitchenette. 4 Decide how much to spend Unlike regular camping, glamping can be as expensive as a five-star getaway if you aren't careful. Set a budget as you would with any trip, setting aside a certain amount for lodging (some villas can cost up to $5,000 a night!), food (many glamping sites are all-inclusive), transportation, accessories and activities (many sites offer complimentary water activities). If you're not sure how much it costs, ask! 5 Ask about electricity Many yurts, tree houses and tents aren't equipped for electricity or Wi-Fi, so if you're wedded to that laptop and hair dryer, you'll want to bring extension cords and a portable Wi-Fi device. Also, think smart. In lieu of a traditional coffee pot, you can bring a French press, which doesn't require electricity. You can also bring a portable gas grill for grilling and dry ice to keep your beverages and food cold (if you don't have a fridge). 6 Resort, camp or secluded getaway Do you want to be all alone in the woods? Prefer to stay in a five-star villa on the property of a fancy resort? Want seclusion but also the amenities of a hotel? Decide what kind of vacation you'd like and then research the best places to go. If you'd love a luxury tent experience that has the restaurants and activities of a hotel, we love the 4 Rivers Floating Lodge in Cambodia. 7 Remember the environment You're going to be one with nature, so try to keep nature as beautiful as you can, okay? Instead of your regular toiletry bottles, opt for biodegradable bottles. Bring environmentally friendly toilet paper and bring water or a washtub to clean plastic or glass dishes (to reduce paper and plastic waste). 8 Glamp with friends and family What's glamping without friends and family? Many villas and yurts can sleep up to eight people! Not only will group travel save you money on the room, it'll also save you money on transportation, group activities and even food. 9 Set the perfect stage (lighting and decor) Hey, that tent and yurt is going to be your home away from home for a week or two, so why not decorate it like so? Bring some tree lights, lanterns or tiki torches to add some outdoor glam to your tent. We also love this tissue paper garland (for over the bed), this gorgeous Mason jar chandelier (to hang over your table!) and this perfect vintage rustic bar cart for your wines and beers! 10 Don't forget the essentials! Nothing like getting to your amazing tent in the middle of nowhere to realize you forgot your toothbrush, shampoo, deodorant, cell phone charger and a clean pair of underwear for your husband. Don't ruin your vacation or spend far too much at the gift shops by packing the essentials before you go! The easiest way to remember is to write a list. More camping tips Source

Where to buy backpacks in Malaysia

 

Madam Sia’s backpack shop at Pertama Complex offers a wide range of backpacks

We received many emails asking where to buy backpacks in Malaysia. There is even an active and long thread on Lowyat Forum on this matter. While we will normally direct people to our long list of retailers here , we recently decided that it is time to feature some of the shops we think are really worth a visit. We will start with the famed Madam Sia shop at Pertama Complex.


NOTE: Join the Outdoor Gear Malaysia community by visiting our Facebook page.


Why this shop? Well, it comes highly recommended on many local forums. Many blogs mentioned this shop as well, let alone the scores of Gunungonline folks that buy packs from this shop.
The thing about this shop is that it offers a good variety of backpacks. They have several brands (and one brand in particular that we really like) with many models. The shop is so stuffed with packs that it is hard to move around!

Madam Sia backpack shop also carrries (original) Deuter

The 3 major brands that Yoon Hin shop carries are Deuter, Osprey and Karrimor. From our observations, all the packs are original. If you are serious about your packs, Madam Sia is more than happy to point out the ‘replica’ ones for you. She even gave us a Deuter 2011 catalog for us to bring home. She is one smart lady, knowing that there are so many fakes in the market, it is good to have an official catalog around so that people can actually refer to.

Madam Sia has a Deuter 2011 catalog for customers to browse through…smart!

Deuter new models for 2011

Osprey packs are new and gaining popularity in Malaysia!

Osprey packs are great. In fact…they are awesome packs. Osprey is one of the most popular packs in the US, well known for their comfort, well thought and innovative designs. While their older models are still being sought after (just check ebay), their new models now are also doing very well. Rather new in the market, they are catching up, putting up a good fight against other brands locally.

Karrimor packs have been a staple for many in Malaysia for a long time

Karrimor packs have come a long way. They are considered the old school and newbies in the Gunung fraternity probably heard of this brand before any other. Karrimor practically decorated the walls of hardcore Malaysian adventures many years ago and it is quite unlikely that they will cease to do so. Today, this brand is back with newer and bolder designs. An obvious sign that they too are catching up with what’s hip and happening in the market.
This shop specializes in mostly travel trolley packs and backpacks. If you are looking for other outdoor and camping stuff like camping stoves and hammocks, this would probably not be the place to go. If you are looking for bags of all sorts to carry your camping equipment, then Madam Sia is where you wanna go to.
So, if you are thinking of getting a backpack for your next adventure, we highly recommend that you pay Madam Sia a visit. And do not be put down by her crowded store. It just goes to show you how well stocked here shop is. Here are the contact details for Madam Sia’s backpack store at Pertama Complex:

Kedai Bag Yoon Hin Madam Sia 012-6954843 Lot Unit No G66, Ground Floor, Pertama Shopping complex, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, 50100 Kuala Lumpur

From our visit, we concluded that there are lots of good finds at Kedai Bag Yoon Hin, often hidden or stacked between other bags and travel luggage…they may just be the right pack for you. Best part of all, she is more than happy to oblige a discount for you (mention us for that extra discount!). So…to many of our followers, Madam Sia’s Kedai Bag Yoon Hin comes highly recommended as the shop to buy backpacks in Malaysia!

Cabaran berkayak ke Langkawi

Para peserta ekspedisi dikehendaki menjalani Latihan secara intensif bagi meningkatkan stamina.

Ramai yang berpendapat, golongan wanita yang aktif dalam sukan akan menghentikan segala aktiviti kesukanan yang dicintainya sebaik sahaja berumah tangga apatah lagi setelah melahirkan cahaya mata.
Biarpun bukan semua, namun kenyataan itu ada kebenaran memandangkan tugasan hakiki seorang isteri dan ibu sedikit sebanyak mengehadkan kegiatan aktif yang dilakukan oleh golongan wanita.
Namun, sekumpulan wanita yang juga memegang status ibu dan isteri cuba memecah persepsi itu apabila bakal menyertai Ekspedisi Berkayak All Women Langkawi Return Challenge 2013 yang bermula pada 16 hingga 21 Mac tahun depan.
Ketua ekspedisinya, Shahida Yusoff, 39, berkata, ekspedisi berkayak selama enam hari itu julung kali dilakukan oleh sekumpulan wanita yang masing-masing telah berumah tangga.
