=== You are not sure to reach your destination before the [[night]] ===
On longer hitchhiking trips, you may need to camp along the way so bring a sleeping bag and a tarp or a tent with you. A few hours before the sunset, begin to notice all the start looking out for places where you could sleep:
* Are you ready to pay for a hostel? If yes, can you find one?
* Do Is there is a (big ) [[airport]] on your road or close to the place you are?
* Do you notice McDo games, an inhabited house or a good place to lay down your sleeping bag?
* Can your driver host you?
* Can you find a car/truck driving overnight and crash out on the way? In this case, is the driver really reliable?
If you can't find anywhere to sleep, there are still other ways out of the situation. If you are lucky enough to be at a 24 -hour petrol station just keep drinking coffee and keep hitching through the [[night]]. (''Joe: My advice would be not to. After about 11p.m., it's probably best just but only do so if the driver can take you to accept that you've been lucky and are stuck at a petrol the next 24-hour station where you can stay warm. If you take another lift, you might end up getting stuck in the middle of nowhere at three in the morningmiddle of the night is not good.'') Keep in mind that it gets really quiet between 2:00 and 5:00 , even at a busy highway motorway service areaareas.
