EEEK, You’ve Wandered Off From Your Birding Group!

Posted on September 7, 2013 by Tara

You just had to get a better shot of that gorgeous rare bird so you headed off the trail to get closer. The bird flew a bit further, you followed. Rinse and repeat. Hey, where did the rest of the group go? They were just there a minute ago!

No worries, a few loud, sharp tweets on this survival whistle and your guide will be able to locate you and bring you back to the group!

Mozzies, Don’t Bite Me!

Posted on August 17, 2013 by Tara

If your birding adventure brings you into the rainforest and you will be camping out, you need protection! Mosquitoes love foreign tourists and unfortunately their feast can cause you to get malaria or dengue fever. It might be worthwhile bringing a mosquito net along just to be prepared!

Interesting Multi-Tool, Gotta Love Fuschia!

Posted on August 10, 2013 by Tara

I was scrolling though some of the camping/survival gear on Amazon.com and found this curious looking multi-tool. It also comes in black but if you are going to buy such a curiousity, you might as well go all out and get fuschia! It looks like it would pass airport security too!

Travel Gear – Headlamps

Posted on February 25, 2013 by Tara

You’d be surprised how dark it is when you get up early in the morning to hike to the birding areas. These headlamps look a bit silly but they are extremely practical as they keep your hands free. They are also lightweight and easy to pack. You may want to consider a waterproof one if you will be there in the rainy season. Please note this is my Amazon affiliate link. You pay the same whether you use my link or not but I do appreciate your support.
