I’m going to be driving across the US in a couple weeks and want to know the best things to bring along for the ride!

    • Snacks - stock up at the grocery store, you’ll spend way more across the states in gas stations
    • Advil/pain reliever - you’ll get headaches staring at the road for that long, and muscles will cramp up
    • Water. So so so much water. Soda is fine but bring a few gallons of water
    • Get a good charger system for your phone, and make sure you can hook it up to your car reliably

    Oh and most important, bring peace of mind by getting your car checked before going. Go in and ask for a full inspection, tires, brakes, fluids, belts. I had a belt burst 8 hours from anywhere and had to sleep in my car, just get that stuff checked now

      Get a DC inverter for the car. A really good one not the cheap ones you buy at Wally’s world. It’s worth it’s weight and helped me fill up an air mattress once during a camping trip.
