== Clothes ==
The first and most important details are the '''clothes''' you wear. Try to wear '''bright colored''', well visible clothes. This is extremely important during the night or in bad weather, but also during sunshine. A Yellow or Orange Shirt/Pullover/Jacket works best. If you don't want to spent much money on new gear, a '''reflective warning vest''' pulled over your jacket will perfectly do the job. This is also extremely important while walking on a dangerous road trying to find a good spot.
Obviously there is a difference between hitching in Spain in the summer and in Scandinavia during wintertime. Nevertheless, it is often smart to buy some '''good outdoor stuff'''. It is light and dries very fast. There is nothing worse than a '''wet jeans''' or '''cotton'''-shirt if it's bellow 10°C. Plus, you can wash it and it dries fast. '''Outdoor wear''' differs a lot in the degree it adopts smell. You can wear some for days without smelling, others stink after two hours hiking.
