Some good advice...

...from Blattman, of course, here.

I agree with all of this advice--he's recommending a packing list for students going off to do fieldwork. I can't yet vouch for the need for a mosquito bednet--but I did take my malaria meds last week. No crazy dreams yet. First time I'm really going to the jungle for any length of time.

My only quibble is with his recommendation of a "dorky" hat that keeps the sun off your neck. I'm wearing such a hat at the moment, but I think it's awesome, not dorky. I felt silly until all the indigenous highland guys started trying to get me to give it to them, or trade. I'm keeping it.

Bass Pro Shops--good for classy hats, speedloaders, and pants with flaps on the back pockets.
