Bungee is Out, Swinging is the "IN" Thing... (Caption This!)

Edwin Sacdalan gave us a sneak peek on his latest crazy idea of doing a pendulum swing, high above the tree in Camp Sabros. I must admit, I did not have the guts to try it. Instead of Bungee jumping, you got to try pendulum swinging instead!

Tree Rappelling - The Latest and Most Raved About Experience in Camp Sabros

The latest addition to the zip line adventure in Camp Sabros is the 80ft. Tree Rappelling. Most of the people I met who tried it, raved about it more than the longest zip line ride.

At the time that we did this, the attraction was only 2 weeks old. First you have to zip seated on your harness to the _________ tree.

The adventure is to rappel down the swaying 80-feet high tree via the Freefall Rapelling technique.

It looks so easy from this photo of Rache rappelling midway down the tree with no hands on the rope.

To go down, you grip a rappel device by your right hand which releases the rope steadily while your left hand guides the rope behind your waist.

The second time around was more fun. Rache is more confident now to attempt the zip on her own.

We knew the drill and we felt totally safe. The thing that will scare you is thinking about "what if you fall?"


You need to relax and just fly like superman.

Flying Like Superman in Camp Sabros!

Anton: "Do you want to fly like Superman, Aidan?"
Aidan: "Yes, Poppa."

Rache: "This is the first time we are doing this... Can we really do it?"

This was our first tandem zip line ride. There's no turning back...

All set to fly with Aidan riding on my back while holding on the cables.

Yes, we are flying! (Look at Aidan's face :)
