Meeeting

Baru lepas meeting. Macam - macam masalah dan kami dah fikirkan jalan penyelesainnya. Mudah-mudahan segalanya dapat diselesaikan.

Kenderaan.....

Allhamdullilah...permohonan untuk kenderaan bagi perjalanan kami ke Kem Sri Gading, Jengka telah diproses. Berdasarkan maklum balas yang diterima, InsyaAllah permohanan tersebut akan diluluskan walaupun borang yang dihantar agak lewat. Terima kasih kepada Pegawai Eksekutif Unit Kenderaan, En, Shaharum.

Camp Craft

Together

Everyone

Achieves

More

That is the thing that we can describe from the word TEAM.

1. Choosing a campside
- The ground is reasonable level and flat
-No branch/unsafe tree near tent
-Loose stone that are near enough to collapse on your tent.
-Above the flood level of a river
-High tide mark at the coast
-No insect nest nearby
-Adequate shade from the sun.
-Do not assume that you have your right to pitch your tent anywhere.
-Layout camp will be dictated by the site,wheater condition,size of the camp,personal preference

Picture above is the example of camp layout

Today class

1. Hari ini kami belajar beberapa jenis ikatan lagi. Sambungan daripada minggu lepas. Sebelum itu kami berbincang mengenai "Introduction Camp". Terdapaat bermacam masalah yang dihadapi. Rungsing juga dibuatnya,tapi nk buat macam mana. Susah macam mana sekali pun kami terpaksa hadapinya.
2. Hari ini ditakdirkan kami terpaksa menukar tempat camp kami iaitu di Jengka, Pahang kerana terdapat masalah di Bukit Cerakah dari segi penempatan. Nak buat macam mana, sabar jelah...
3. Tinggal seminggu saja lagi untuk Introduction Camp. Mudah-mudahan kami dapat mempersiapkan diri dari segi mental dan fizikal. Ini kerana kami akan menjalankan berbagai aktiviti yang menguji ketahanan diri.
4. Esok merupakan hari terakhir bagi kami untuk menyelesaikan masalah mengenai kem ini. Mudah-mudahan segalanya berjalan dengan lancar. InsyaAllah.
   

Stor Rekreasi FSR

Berikut merupakan peralatan yang terdapat dalam stor rekreasi FSR. Kami di bawa oleh En. Zainal untuk melihat peralatan yang digunakan untuk aktiviti rekreasi luar. En Zainal juga menerangkan serba sedikit mengenai kegunaan peralatan yang terdapat dalam stor.

Information

• En. Zainal also told us about the safety when we involve in outdoor recreation. ha also teach us how to select a right kernmantel rope, how to make knotting, how to install a tent, how to choose a suitable pack bag and how to wear it with the right way.
• Today we learn a good lesson for us to prepared for the introduction camp soon at Bukit Cerakah.
• We also will combine with Jengka branch and we just wait and see.. = )
  

PACK BAG AND TENT

Pack bag
*This is example of pack bag.

We also learn how to install a tent. Figure above is the example of tent.

KNOTTING

Today we learn how to make knotting but we only learn five type of knot today.

1. Tape knot(thumb/water knot)


2. Reef knot (buku sila)




3. Clover hitch (simpul manok)


*end the knot with half hitch


4. Bowline (tindih kasih)




and


5. Figure of 8
There are 3 types of figure of 8

*single
*double
*on the blight



next week we will learn 6 type of knot more.....

KERNMANTEL ROPE

Kernmantle rope is rope constructed with its interior core (the kern) protected with a woven exterior sheath (mantle) that is designed to optimize strength, durability, and flexibility

Use as climbing rope

Internal structure of 10.7mm dynamic kernmantle climbing rope

The nylon ropes that were used in yachts for hauling were tested and found useful in climbing and caving, and are now the modern standard. Although there are occasional innovations, the type of rope used today is similar in construction, strength, and durability across manufacturers. There are several major manufacturers, including Pigeon Mountain Industries or PMI, Mammut, Sterling, Beal, Edelweiss, Blue Water, Roca, and Maxim. Kernmantle ropes are still used in sailing and other sports, however the technical requirements are usually not as rigorous as in climbing since the applications are not as safety critical. Smaller kernmantle ropes are commonly called cordalette or accessory cord. They are often used to make prusik knots and loops or attaching accessories such as chalk bags.

One or more of the rope characteristics (strength, durability, and flexibility) are often altered somewhat, depending upon the ultimate use of the rope, at the expense of the other properties. For example, rope used in caving is generally exposed to more abrasion than other forms of recreation, so the mantle is woven more tightly than rope used in climbing or rappelling. However, the resulting rope is cumbersome and difficult to tie knots in.

Kernmantle construction may be used with both static and dynamic ropes. Static ropes are designed to allow relatively little stretch, which is most useful for hauling, rappelling, and other applications. Dynamic rope is used to belay climbers, and is designed to stretch under heavy load to absorb the shock of a fallen climber. Dynamic ropes manufactured for climbing are tested by the UIAA. This test involves tying an 80kg weight to the end of a length of rope. This weight is then dropped 5m on 2.7m of rope with the rope running over a rounded surface simulating that of a standard carabiner. This process is repeated until the rope breaks. It is a common misunderstanding to think that the number of drop test falls (as conducted by the UIAA) is the number of real-life climbing falls a rope can sustain before it becomes unsafe. The drop test falls are of extreme severity and it is not often that a real-life climbing fall generates a comparable force. This adds a margin of safety for the climbers who use such ropes.

[edit] Rope care

Parachute cord is a type of lightweight nylon kernmantle rope. The kern of this particular example is made up of seven two-ply yarns, the mantle is braided from 32 strands.

Kernmantle rope should be inspected before and after every use for any form of damage. "Boogers," which indicate internal damage to the kern, will appear as tufts of white threads poking out from the mantle. Ropes that have been severely stressed will have tapered sections to the rope, where it is visibly or palpably thinner. Rope that has been abraded or cut on sharp edges should be examined closely by an experienced user who may choose to cut the rope at that point, rather than risk it parting at that area.

Rope may be cleaned by forming it into a chain sinnet, to prevent excessive tangling, and washing it in a front-loading clothes washing machine with soap flakes. Strong cleansers, including bleach and detergent should not be used with life-critical Nylon components. Commercial rope cleaning devices are available from the climbing and rescue companies CMI and PMI. Directions for making a similar device can be found here.

[edit] Typical specifications

Dynamic Ropes
Diameter	Typical Impact Force*	Typical Weight
8.1mm (~5/16")	6kN (1350lb)	42g/m (0.45oz/ft)
9.8mm (~3/8")	8kN (1800lb)	63g/m (0.67oz/ft)
11mm (~7/16")	9kN (2000lb)	78g/m (0.84oz/ft)

^*Dynamic ropes are rated for a certain number of falls (usually 5-10) at a given impact force.

Static Ropes
Diameter	Typical Breaking Strength	Typical Weight
9mm (~11/32")	21kN (4700lb)	51g/m (0.55oz/ft)
10mm (~3/8")	27kN (6000lb)	66g/m (0.71oz/ft)
10.5mm (~13/32")	30kN (6750lb)	69g/m (0.74oz/ft)
11mm (~7/16")	34kN (7650lb)	75g/m (0.81oz/ft)

RECREATION MOVEMENT IN MALAYSIA

• Today is the first day I enter outdoor recreation class. I have learn about the meaning of outdoor recreation. Actually, RECREATION has started as sport even before Malaysia become independent and movement are being promoted aggresivesly in the year 1980. This result of the "National Sport Policy" formulated by the Ministry of Youth and Sports (KBS).
• The main objective is promotion of mass participation and promote healthy and active lifestyle.
• Mainly activity concerned with outdoor.
• In 1994, Dato' Ghani Othman introduced RAKAN MUDA .
• In 1996, "MALAYSIA CERGAS" programme reintroduced to promote healthy lifestyles among the Malaysian.
