=== Stuff safety ===
* Wear your '''most valuable small stuff on your body''': passport, wallet, money, mobile phone. This way you will keep these items in case you should abandon your bag.* Remember that your backpack is the last one to enter the car and the first one to leave it. Also avoid putting it into the trunk if you are hiking alone, or if the driver has an opportunity to drive away with your luggage- though sometimes this is simply not an option. It's a good idea to keep the door open while you get your back from the trunk. It's actually much more likely a hitchhiker ''forgetting their own bag'' or other objects than theft.
* Keep your backpack close to you (i.e. on your lap), so you can grab it if you need to get out quickly.
