SPIRIT CAPM 2010
Sempena pekhemahan pertama, pelajar2 UiTM S.Alam telah digabungkan dengan pelajar2 daripada UiTM Jengka, Pahang, Kolej Shahputra & Kolej INSTEDT. Perkhemahan tersebut telah diadakan di Kem Sri Gading, Jengka, Pahang selama 3 hari daripada 29hb hingga 31hb Februari 2010. Kem ini diadakan bagi memberi pendedahan awal kepada semua pelajar sebelum menghadapi Kem Terakhir. Banyak ilmu telah diperoleh sepanjang kem ini. Ada pengalaman pahit dan juga pengalaman manis. Sebenarnya pada mula saya bercadang untuk tidak mahu mengikuti kem ini. Tapi atas semangat keinginan mahu mempelajari ilmu yang baru di samping kem ini menyumbang 10 markah dalam kos Outdoor Receation, saya tetap mengikuti kem tersebut..

Choosing a Campsite
1. Make sure rhe ground is reasonable level and flat.
2. There are no branches or unsafe trees near your tent sites or other loose stones.
3. If the campsite near to water, it is well above the flood level of a river or the high-tide mark at the coast.
4. No insect nearby.
Erecting a dome tent:
Start with the tent positioned where it is to be pitched. Make sure all zips are fastened and that the groundheet is stretched flat.
1) Insert the two flexible rods in the fabric tubes. The rods generally come in sections with an elastic cord running through and metal sockets to connect the rods into one flexible length. Make sure the rods are fully connected before starting.
2) connect ends of both rods on one side to their retaining pockets or spikes
3) do the same on the other side, making sure that the fabric is distributed evenly and with no creases
4) if a central tie is provided to tie the rods together, fasten this.
5) Peg down the inner tent so as to stretch the groundsheet taut
6) Cover the inner tent with the flysheet
7) position the appropriate number of pegs on the lines of the seams of the fly sheet so that the fabric can be tightened without slackness or wrinkles and so that it nowhere touches the inner tent.
For a two- or three- man tent, this can often be done fairly easily by one person in about 15 mins, though two will make the job quicker and easier. Larger tents will be far easier to pitch with two or more people assisting.
BACKPACK;
A backpack carrier includes a backpack body, first and second quick-releasing fasteners, and a transportation carrier. The backpack body is adapted for being carried by a user, which includes a back panel, an upper holder provided at an upper edge of the back panel, and a lower holder provided at a lower edge of the back panel to define a receiving cavity within the back panel, the upper holder, and the lower holder for receiving the foldable stretcher in the receiving cavity. The quick-releasing fasteners are provided at the upper and lower holders respectively for retaining the foldable stretcher in the receiving cavity. The transportation carrier includes a carriage sleeve and a transportation mount provided at the carriage sleeve for detachably mounting the backpack body to the transportation tool, wherein the backpack is adapted to be used between a transportation-carriage mode and a user-carriage mode.
The invention is directed to a backpack, comprising a backpack body and at least one shoulder strap. The backpack body defines at least one storage compartment. The backpack body has a back-facing face. The back-facing face having at least one air channel defined thereon. The at least one air channel has at least one opening at the periphery of the back-facing face. The at least one shoulder strap is connected to the backpack body. The at least one shoulder strap is adapted for mounting the backpack on a wearer.
Backpacks are commonly used for carrying loads for many different purposes. Students, for example, use backpacks to carry books to and from school. Hikers, for example, use backpacks to carry hiking gear and food, during hikes.
types of tent:
Avian Tents
One or two straight poles with the Tent cover spread out create a covered ground area. They are mostly used for quick shelter and generally light weather conditions.
Pyramid Tents
One central pole and the Tent cover pulled tight and spread out around the center pole form a pyramid shaped pocket. Pyramid Tents are rare in Hiking as the center pole effectively divides the Tent in multiple smaller compartments.
Traditional A-Frame Tents
Two-legged frames at the outer ends of the Tent with the Tent cover form a triangular pocket. Old backpacking tents were often A-frame Tents. The increased roominess of hoop tents and domes has replaced most A-frame tents.
Modified A-Frame Tents
Add a ridgepole and a center hoop to the traditional A-Frame to create a larger volume version of the traditional A-frame pocket. Modified A-Frame tents are also becoming rare in Hiking.
Hoop Tents
Use one to three hoops with the Tent cover to form a tubular pocket. The curved walls give a bigger volume with the same ground surface. Hoop Tents are surprisingly strong as they divide pressure over the full length of the hoops.
Wedge Tents
Two intersecting hoops with the Tent cover form a square to round pocket. These tents are very popular in Hiking as they combine great strength in combination with the least use of material and weight.
Dome Tents
Three or more intersecting hoops with the Tent cover form a multi-faceted ground floor with a dome. The added hoops give this tent increased strength in comparison to Wedge Tents. However, they are mostly pretty difficult to erect. Most 4-Season tents are domes with four intersecting hoops.
