Yelenovka Packing List Tips by hunterV

Getting Ready

Luggage and bags: a rucksack that would leave your hands free

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: the area is very windy (about 290 meters above sea level). Think about a good jacket and good walking shoes.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: as usual

Photo Equipment: take your usual camera and a film camera, if any, with spare films

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: no swimming here, all ponds are private (fish farming)

Miscellaneous: A flashlight would be a good idea, if you are thinking of staying overnight (even if you don't, you might have to).
Take a couple of bottles of good Ukrainian vodka from where you are staying in Ukraine.
You see, once you are invited to dinner, the locals only offer you moonshine (120-140 proof) of 70 degrees alcohol. I believe it's a suicide to drink that horrible stuff, so I tend to bring vodka.
I know the locals would hate me for treating them to our "nasty city stuff" - vodka. They believe it's as good as lemonade.
As for me, I never mix my vodka with any wine (like some locals choose to do to achieve "the effect" sooner)...
