Tricount - If you pay something, please add expense in the app
​

Mosquitoes - Oooohhh yes, be prepared to fight them
​
-
Waterproof bag - Would be really useful to have it for rafting, splavs, boat...
​

Cheap sunglasses - So you wouldn't be stressed if you lose them, specially when we are on water...
​
-
Dinner dress code - Usually smart casual
​
-
Food and drinks - Please make sure that you always have some snacks and drink with you, especially if you are someone who gets angry and who is changing his/her mood when hungry or thirsty :) During some days when we are on the move, it will be hard to get something to eat in the middle of nowhere.
