Pack a backpack

Often some hiking hobbyists ignore the right way of packing supplies, they carelessly put items into backpacks causing food supplies to be destroyed, survival equipment damaged even the most fatal event is that portable stove tubes leak due to being hit from above.

The advantage of packing properly is that supplies are not damaged, easily taken if needed, and facilitates movement. The first thing to consider before packing is to make a list of items to be taken, sort items and put them in plastic bags.

Dlium Pack a backpack

Everyone's comfort may vary and there is no definite formula in packing, but most hiking hobbyists have a similar order of packing. Correct packing includes distributing the load evenly. So how is the order of packing correct? The following tips:

Slepping bag and clothes at bottom

Slepping bag and clothes at the lowest position where the bottom of the backpack rests directly on the waist. Soft items will make the waist not hurt. Slepping bag and clothes are also used most recently after setting up a tent.

Food and cooking utensils in middle

Food and cooking equipment with a medium load is placed in the middle and should be on the outer side that does not come into direct contact with the back.

Drinking water at top

The water at the top aims to be easier to reach while traveling. Generally water becomes the main burden of the list of items carried, placing water at the top will distribute the load evenly to all parts.

Raincoat and flashlight in the top cover pocket

Placing a raincoat and flashlight on the cover will be easy to reach if at any time it comes rain, storm and emergency.

Fuel in the outer pocket

Generally backpacks have a design of two pockets on the right side and the left side on the outside. Fuel is at risk of leaking and spilling. An outside pocket can be used to carry fuel, while other to carry drinks.

Bring a small daypack

Smaller bags to carry items needed for summit attacks and are useful for balancing loads to cross horizontal tracks.

Javan broadhead planarian (Bipalium javanum)

Cacing palu or Javan broadhead planarian ( Bipalium javanum ) is a species of animal in Geoplanidae, hermaphrodite, living on the ground, predators, often called only hammerhead or broadhead or shovel worms because of wide heads and simple copulatory organs. B. javanum has a slim stature, up to 20 cm long, up to 0.5 cm wide, head wide up to 1 cm or less, small neck, widening in the middle and the back end is rounded, all black and shiny. Javan broadhead planarians walk above ground level by raising their heads and actively looking left, right and looking up using strong neck muscles. Move swiftly, track meander, climb to get through all obstacles or make a new path if the obstacle is too high. Cacing palu track and prey on earthworms and mollusks. They use muscles and sticky secretions to attach themselves to prey to lock in. The head and ends of the body are wrapped around and continue to close the body to stop prey reactions. They produce tetrodotoxins which are very strong...

Swietenia mahagoni and Swietenia macrophylla, the differences

SPECIES HEAD TO HEAD - To date, mahogany ( Swietenia Jacq.) is recorded as having four species: West Indian mahogany or small-leaved mahogany ( Swietenia mahagoni (L.) Jacq.), big-leaf mahogany ( Swietenia macrophylla King), Honduran mahogany ( Swietenia humilis Zucc.) and Swietenia × aubrevilleana StehlĂ© & Cusin. The debate over the number of taxa in the genus is still not resolved. Some researchers believe that there are only two species: S. mahagoni and S. macrophylla . I agree with that opinion and the two species can only be differentiated by the size of the leaves. All species in this genus have similar morphology except for leaf size. The following is the key to identifying these two species. S. mahagoni has a stalk length of around 37 cm with 5-6 pairs of strands. The strands are about 10 cm long and about 3.5 cm wide. S. macrophylla has a stalk length of up to 45 cm with 4-5 pairs of strands. The strands are up to 31 cm long and up to 8 cm wide. By Aryo Bando...

Thomas Sutikna lives with Homo floresiensis

BLOG - On October 28, 2004, a paper was published in Nature describing the dwarf hominin we know today as Homo floresiensis that has shocked the world. The report changed the geographical landscape of early humans that previously stated that the Pleistocene Asia was only represented by two species, Homo erectus and Homo sapiens . The report titled "A new small-bodied hominin from the Late Pleistocene of Flores, Indonesia" written by Peter Brown and Mike J. Morwood from the University of New England with Thomas Sutikna, Raden Pandji Soejono, Jatmiko, E. Wahyu Saptomo and Rokus Awe Due from the National Archaeology Research Institute (ARKENAS), Indonesia, presents more diversity in the genus Homo. “Immediately, my fever vanished. I couldn’t sleep well that night. I couldn’t wait for sunrise. In the early morning we went to the site, and when we arrived in the cave, I didn’t say a thing because both my mind and heart couldn’t handle this incredible moment. I just went down...
