Most hitchhikers carry a backpack with them wherever they go. The backpack should be sturdy, yet comfortable. It should also carry these items:
- As little as possible
- The longer you travel, the less you want in your bag!
- A towel or something or similar nature.
- Hygenic products such as: a toothbrush, toothpaste, a brush, soap, and some mints.
- Try not to smell too bad for your drivers.
- A map of the area that the hitchhiker plans to travel in.
- Preferably showing gas stations.
- An extra set of clothing if possible. At the minimum, an extra pair of socks and undergarments.
- Something to drink, food, mainly fruit, or something with nuts, at the minimum.
- Reading material, for waits and quiet rides.
- A spare piece of cardboard or like material that can be written on. Or take an A4 transparant plastic map, and some spare A4 papers.
- A marker. Sharpies work best.
- Toilet paper or tissues. Don't ask why, just do it.
- If possible a stick of deoderent.
- If possible, a sleeping bag.
