Step 6Dress appropriatly
This can be farily handy because im sure you wouldnt want to be running around in any high heeled shoes or trousers that are so baggy that they fall from your arse wihtout the aid of belt or your hands.
What you wear really depends on where you're going and what time of year it is, but on a whole i like to wear thin, lightweight trousers that will protect me from stingers, etc but will also be cool and light for mobility. I also have a camoflauge coat that i am in love with because it traps heat, is full of pockets and can be used to pad out your sleeping bag or whatever. it is not very good for the summer however =[
on a whole this is what i wear according to the seasons
spring/summer: lightweight trousers, a breathable t-shirt and some hiking shoes. This is dependant on the weather
autumn/winter: lightweiht trousers, a thick t-shirt, maybe a jumper, my camo coat, some wooley hiking socks and my hiking shoes. This, to, is dependant on the weather
Just remember to check the forecasts if you ever go out, but also remember that the forecasts can never be 100% correct, so in my eyes it's better to bring that extra jumper or coat you were planning to because you may find yourself stuck in the wet, cold rain trying to stay warm in just your t-shirt and trousers. not good =[
Also it is a good idea to wear shorts if you know there aren't going to be any particularly vicious stingers or plants about and it's going to be hot. it's a good idea.

A good read, cheers, but might I suggest that for jungles, a long sleeved shirt will offer more protection from biting insects; in more open areas in the tropics, this will also keep the sun off you. Likewise, a hat can make a big difference to your morale if you are going to be out under the tropical sun for a while.
