Essential tips before you hit the trail
Always inform someone of your plan. Set your ETA. Bring enough water (2-3L for 4 hours). Check weather forecast. Start early — most Malaysian trails should be done by 4pm.
Headlamp, whistle, first aid kit, rain poncho, extra battery/power bank, dry food, trail map or offline GPS. Wear proper hiking shoes — not slippers.
STOP — Sit, Think, Observe, Plan. Don't panic. Stay where you are. Use SOS to call 999. Blow your whistle in sets of 3. If you have BackHike, your contacts already have your last GPS location.
999 — Police/Ambulance/Fire. 112 — Universal Emergency. BOMBA Rescue — 994. BackHike SOS calls 999 automatically with your GPS coordinates.

Malaysian jungle is tropical — expect rain anytime. Trails get slippery. Leeches are common below 1,000m. Above 1,500m can drop to 10°C at night. Plan accordingly.
