8 Things I Always Pack for a Long-Haul Drive
I've spent more than 400 hours on road trips across the US. Here are eight essentials I always pack for a long drive, as featured in Business Insider.
- A fully charged phone and a portable charger to ensure you can make calls, navigate, and stay connected.
- Comfortable clothing and shoes, because you'll be sitting for hours.
- Snacks like energy bars, nuts, and dried fruits to keep your energy levels up.
- A reusable water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the journey.
- A small first-aid kit with essentials like band-aids, pain relievers, and anti-histamines.
- Entertainment such as books, podcasts, or music to keep you engaged.
- A travel pillow for comfort during long stretches of driving.
- A map or GPS device for navigation, just in case your phone battery dies.
