INVENTORY

[stusik_i_sharik]

This is "The Inventory". Unless you are really bored, you would not find it very interesting.
It is mainly intended for us, and for fellow travelers who might want to get some tips on what to take on their trip. After all we did a ton of research and have hiked many recreational sports stores, so at least some this should prove useful to others. Be advised however, although this list is of our final cut of all the stuff we are taking, there is a very good chance that many of these items will prove to be useless and will be discarded. Couple of months into the trip, we hope to have a more accurate list of necessities.

However! For the rest of you, I have made links in the list to some cool little items that we stumbled upon in our search for the greatest Travel gadgets. Find out what can cure penis envy or will zap you to get rid of a bug bite.

Most end up working just fine throughout, and if you don’t end up using them, give them out as souvenirs. Something I would have liked to know before we bought our $40 Watches which although say can go to 100M, clearly state in the operation manual: “Not Recommended for Diving”. However, I took a chance and I have to say that although diving is not recommended my watch did withstand four 40-70FT dives.
