A spoon and a bloody fork you moron!
It is not as if I forgot something when I go camping,
it is what I have forgotten.
Three days of planning and preparing and I forget something as essential as utensils!
They don't call them utensils for nothing.
You're suppose to utilize them and not leave them at home.

5 am and I was sitting in my car on the way from Manila
to Mt Banahaw, Quezon.

By the time I finished my Starbucks coffee I passed
Mt. Makiling and pretty soon I would reach Dolores where I would park my car and figure out the next steps.

The idea was that I would start hiking towards Mt. Banahaw and maybe ask for directions now and then.

I had a topographical map of the area and I was confident I'll find my way around.
After 4 to 5 hours of walking I would pitch my tent, make dinner, wait for it to get dark and then go out with a flash light and look for stick insects.

The next day I would decide to climb the remaining three four hours up to the peak and back again or go straight down --
Depending on how I feel.

That was the plan.
Things developed slightly different though.

Just go with the flow.
