Going on YEP Trip? Not sure what to get? Here is my top 8 list

1) Notebook with pen
(useful for copying down phone numbers, making notes) in a ziplock bag (to prevent water damage)
2) Headtorch
The headtorch allows you to illuminate the area around you with your hands free.
3) Wide Brim hat
Keeps the sun off your face.
4) Electrical Adaptor for that particular country
Important for you to charge your hp, camera, netbook etc.
5) Spare handphone. The Nokia 1280 is what I use for reservist and very hardy.
(or any other non camera, non color screen, the nokia phones have very long battery life
without all the bells and whistles. Very important for communication with local partners, team members or endorsing organisation)
6) First Aid Kit for Go bag
(when you need to access to plasters, gauze and gloves quickly)
7) Medium clear plastic bags
(for trash, gloves, wet clothes)
8) Quick dry tops
(available online, I haven’t found something cheap in Singapore, brands like Columbia sell for $79.90, I buy online from Sierra Trading Post or if you happen to be in Hong Kong, Blue Place in Granville St, you only need 2 to rotate, can dry by night in your room with a fan blowing)
