Clothing choice and preparation

In studying the climate in Cambodia, it doesn't take long to figure out its HOT, HUMID and there are lots of mosquito... I know. DUH its a jungle.  :)

I have been trying to figure out what to wear,  We will be without washing unless its a hand wash for a week and so will need to wear clothing multiple times.  It will be hot so it needs to breathe and of course BUGs galore which carry Malaria and other fun things.  I have chosen to go with two main sets of clothing which are specifically for hot weather and made to breathe and dry very fast.  tropic wear from LL Bean.  In addition, I am treating them with Permethrin which we had used in the Army.  It penetrates the clothing and provides an insect repellent barrier for up to 6 washings.  This should protect me from sun and biting little friends as best it can.  My clothing is hanging out drying now....

Now a month out and I am still looking to find some small giveaways for the children.  That is the next prep item on my list.

Then I need to think hygiene... dry soap/shampoo and wipes and TP and the such.
