Embarking on a dusty journey, the renowned explorer Devil Coc Tu spins a tale of passion and emotion, emphasizing the need for meticulous preparation.
The 8x Adventurer's 10 Essential 'Gems'
Mark Twain once remarked: 'Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So, cast off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Explore, dream, and discover.' Devil Coc Tu, born in 1981, epitomizes Mark Twain's ideals with a passion for exploring every nook and cranny of the homeland. With footprints on numerous mountain peaks and remote lands, he accumulates essential experiences for safe adventures.
Enthusiasts of exploration are often young, students, or office workers with limited time. Therefore, thorough research about the destination is crucial to avoid wasted routes or difficulties due to bad weather. Furthermore, exploration is closely tied to self-discovery in new, fascinating lands. Alongside your loyal companions, fully equipping yourself for the journey is essential. For Devil Coc Tu, every trip must include these 10 items he calls treasures.

Clothing: Your attire must suit the destination's weather. Just a tank top and mid-length shorts in freezing winter spell failure. Opt for high-quality windbreakers from reputable brands like The North Face, Colombia, Zener... with excellent rain resistance, warmth retention, and convenient small pockets for your phone. Include a thick knit hat, waterproof fleece gloves, and a neck wrap for health protection.
Trousers: When traversing challenging terrain, comfort, high water resistance, and breathability are essential for your pants. They must also keep you warm during chilly nights in the open. Opt for durability since you'll often be crawling and climbing. Trusted brands like Colombia, Zener, and Tribond are favorites of this adventurous traveler.
Footwear: Constantly moving across various terrains, from roads to mountains, sand hills to stream crossings, your feet, with many sensitive nerves, require high-top shoes with high-traction soles and waterproof features.
Shoes should snugly fit, leaving no gaps to avoid ankle twists, with breathable padding ensuring a secure yet ventilated fit, reducing odor. Devil Coc Tu trusts brands like Merrell, MC Kinley, Colombia, Millet.
Backpack: Choose a waterproof backpack with back padding, comfortable straps that hug your body, and a lower belt to protect the waist from fatigue. An essential for journeys, this 'treasure' is more effective with multiple compartments, various functions for convenient gear placement, hanging hooks, and attaching different accessories. Brands meeting these requirements include The North Face, Jack Wolfskin, Millet.
Multifunctional Tools: Exploration comes with a bit of danger and wilderness, and to ensure the best 'survival' conditions, a compact multifunctional accessory set including a knife, scissors, drill, saw, flashlight, lock... will assist you in various situations.
GPS: A modern global positioning device is a crucial companion when exploring remote and less populated areas. For GPS enthusiasts reaching coordinates where latitude and longitude intersect, a GPS device is an indispensable 'treasure.' The brand Garmin, known for its durability, weather resistance, battery efficiency, and strong signal reception, is favored by this adventurer.
Digital Equipment: Every journey leaves lasting imprints, so capture those memorable moments with cameras like Leica, Canon, Nikon, Sony... Devil Coc Tu is willing to invest in quality memory cards to securely preserve beautiful photos. For mountain climbing, compact cameras save energy, while underwater adventures demand waterproof cameras. Since trips are often long, backup batteries are a crucial consideration.
Smartphone and Mobile SIM: No matter how well-prepared you are, unexpected incidents can occur. In such times, a phone call seeking help from family, friends, or authorities plays a vital role in problem-solving.
For Devil Coc Tu, in remote island and border areas, he remains confident as Viettel's network ensures strength and stability. Besides communication, he can use 3G to go online, instantly sharing interesting moments on Facebook with friends. If he wants the comfort of a laptop, Devil Coc Tu always carries a Dcom 3G.

Motorbike: For Devil Coc Tu, the most effective means to conquer every exploring route is a motorbike. Choose a bike suitable for each terrain; for border areas and remote villages, a win or manual bike is appropriate. Charming routes across the Central region can be navigated with a manual or scooter. Don't forget to check the details of the engine, tire treads, and fuel for the iron horse's safe journey.
Notebook: There comes a time when modern devices become useless, and the classic method of jotting down notes becomes efficient. Someday, flipping through the pages of your friends' scribbles in a small notebook, you'll vividly recall those memorable moments together.
Successfully conquering an interesting destination, you will understand the meaning of 'Life is a journey.' Remember to prepare thoroughly to safely leave your footprint on every corner of the homeland.
