Hmmmm. It's a dilemma. Maybe the following I think
1. Closed in shoes or joggers. Walking while your head is in a sack is hazardous.
2. For women a skirt with pockets containing tissues and spare knickers. Remember you will almost certainly encounter squat toilets so long pants are a no-no. Also should you run out of knickers skirts are so much more hygenic and healthy.
3. No lipstick. This is an absolute no-no. Like those Hollywood movies where the heroine crawls out of a swamp or a battlezone (yes I mean you Nicole) makeup and hair intact just don't quite ring true, so it is with the video plea for help, it just won't work unless you look totally wrecked.
4. Men may wish to avoid t-hirts with any reference to Osama Bin Laden's dislike of water sports or any suggesting he sould do anyting beginning with F.
5. For either gender a Crocodile Dundee hat should be seriously considered, because you can stick essentials in the brim. Yes female essentials do fit very conveniently in the little bullet sized slots. I'm sure men could think of something useful to stick in there.... like ciggies to endear yourselves to your captors. Also if you've ever read the back of a toilet door in an airport you will know what you should never leave home without, so stick them in there too. The rest of the space on the hat is optional really but I would avoid the temptation to go for little flags, USA, UK, or AUS in particular may not go down well in the isolated bush camp where you'll certainly be kept. You know the one where people in combat dress holding guns run around hurdling over logs all the time.
Ah look, I've probably spent too much time on the hat and it really is optional. Oh chuppa chups would go in there well too. You could just go on and on couldn't you?
