Changes

Hitch hiking is an outdoor sport and it pays off to '''wear good shoes'''. They might not be best for dancing when you reach your destination, but it is important while walking along the road. You will need to cross rocky areas, puddles, mud, snow etc. Sometimes you have to be quick and step off the road due to big trucks etc.

'''Avoid dark''' or military clothes, they do not create a lot of trustfulness. Looking too much like a colorful hippie will possibly scare other drivers off. Take off your hat (unless it's a really funny one), don't wear gloves, open your jacket, even though you might freeze.
