Since I do so many road trips throughout the year, I thought it would be fun to share some of my "essentials". What are some of yours? ⬇️ Thanks for watching!!
hey i didnt know yours from Utah, but since i found out i will aske a question haha. what are some nice campground by great salt lake that i can drive in with the car since i have a roof tent. some that are located by the lake or not to far.
Thanks. I like to have a little cash stash too. One thing I find handy, is to fill old prescription bottles with quarters. Good for vending machines, coin-opp laundry, tolls, news paper boxes when you need fire starter. Situations where everything is close or unattended.
Such a good video. In Australia if you’re driving in county areas you need a towel with you in case you see any fresh roadkill so that you can check to see if there is any babies in there mothers pouch particularly with kangaroos. Most country towns have a vet that can take any orphans.
yes to all - PLUS: writing utensils and notebook; bandana; small amount of cash in bills and coins; hair brush/comb/elastics; very small bag of bags (ziplock , trash); cold/wet clothes; hand sanitizer & masks; moving blanket. Some in stored car compartments, some in a duffel bag. (Does not include car stuff like snow chains).

Great video!!! I always have a tarp with gromets(never underestimate the uses of a good tarp), paracord or rope, utility knife swiss army style and of course flashlight. Most of my essential car gear has transfered with each car since i was 16 or been replaced.
Re: sunscreen - a tip I learned from professional bass fisherman is to always put sunscreen on the backs of your hands, the back of your neck & the tops of your ears. These guys are out in the elements hundreds of days & thousands of hours a year, and alot of them have had to have skin cancer spots removed from their hands, etc.
I keep a commuter car kit in my trunk because I used to drive 30+ minutes to college every day (Now it's a 20 minute drive to work). Having 12 hour school days made it hard when you step in a rain puddle at 8am and can't go home until 8 pm or later sometimes. The Items I keep in addition to your list are 2 full changes of clothes including shoes (one professional and one comfortable), a giant beach towel, a dry bag to store wet stuff in, copious amounts of feminine necessities, and a small beach chair.
Things I have to bring with me: ibuprofen for headaches, always a flashlight, plenty of extra water & food in case I get stranded, emergency (space) blanket....I love road trips!!!
The decision to drink water or not on a road trip is a constant source of internal struggle for me haha, especially when we're planning on sleeping in the car 😂 Pretty much love when I have it together enough to have all these items on a road or camping trip. Also love bringing a pair of easy slip on/off flip flops... gives you the option to go shoeless in the car but quickly get in/out when needed!
Just found this. Awesome channel! Thanks for the work you put into these. You asked for some possible things to bring on road trips: Some type of protection. But you have to be careful to check the states you're in to see what is legal, such as Mace, Tear Gas, Telescopic Baton, Sizes of legal knives, etc., I find one of the things I carry a lot is a large supersoaker water gun filled with ammonia. I first seal the edges with wax to prevent leakage. It works great for nasty animals, and it is non-lethal. Also- if you can't find a campsite, or a safe place to stop for the night, I recommend Truck Stops. You can go in and park between a couple of Big Boys. These guys are always strapped, and so no one ever bothers them. I even had a trucker once wake me up, tapping on my window in the morning, because he had gotten me some coffee. I was shocked. Nice Guys and you can always feel safe with the truckers. Also, if you wanna spend a bit of time, you can carve out a good sized knife type weapon, from porcelain. Then you don't have to worry about the laws concerning knives, which are actually the best type of weapon to carry in a vehicle. Great for preventing car jacking. Please be safe out there you guys, and keep putting up these enjoyable and informative videos! Blessings
Yay top 137 comments. Love this content. Best to you and your family. Happy Wednesday. Those pretzel crisps and Hummus are great together, too. I also love to put Hummus on rice crackers with broccoli slaw - without any sort of Cole slaw dressing - and eat that with some everything bagel seasoning sprinkled on, and salt. I also love popcorn.
Chapstick is a must, I have a purse chapstick, pocket chapstick, car chapstick, and bedside chapstick.... you get the point. and the world spins off its axis if they get shifted around! I have been sick with COVID this past week and have been binge-watching your videos. Thank you for the great ideas!
I enjoy road trips! I always have an iPod Touch with songs and audiobooks downloaded onto it, a water bottle with a straw, a kit I put together where I keep my public bathroom essentials in case the bathrooms I encounter are lacking. I keep a tote of snacks, a magnetic mount on the windshield for my phone, gum, and spare change for public meters. Also sanitizing wipes and disposable gloves for getting gas.
A good roadside repair kit with jumper cables (or power jump starter), fix a flat, basic tools, tire inflator hazard lights...etc. Gives me a little peace of mind for minor issues that can be handled without my roadside service
The reason your Alba sunscreen isn't white when you put it on is because it doesn't contain zinc - they use ingredients that protect your skin by boosting your ability to absorb the UVB light for longer before you burn. However, if you have sensitive skin or are quite fair and burn easily, zinc is a better option since it reflects sun rather than allowing you to absorb it, but it does leave a white cast. My advice - with warm hands, apply once, then a few minutes later pat into the skin... the warmth of your hands will help with the white cast. The best protection is, of course, physical blocks (hats, clothing), since sunscreen loses effectiveness if not applied liberally and/or with time, especially in direct sun exposure. If you can, keep a microfiber towel with you and when you take a break, wet it, wipe your skin (gently) to remove sweat and dirt that may be sticking, and then reapply the sunscreen (in the shade if possible). - Advice from a skin therapist. :)
thank you!! I have some zinc sunscreen so I'll definitely try to apply it with warm hands and see if that helps. I'm trying to wear a hat more often as well.
Haha, I loved the roadmap part :). When we first moved to the US (not so long ago, actually) we were against having any sort of GPS with us.. We got lost so many times (despite having a roadmap) but, honestly, some of that are the best memories..Like when we were driving around in circles on the NC coast in the middle of the night during a horrible storm and this black bear just came out of nowhere, stood up looked at us and left...Getting nostalgic here, I know, but it was kinda fun!
Depending on how far I am going and where I am going ... all of the stuff you listed, plus cleaning products, a portable toilet, camp chair, my tire table, off-road gear, tools (they live in my truck), cooking and eating stuff, extra clothes, small camping setup, etc. Also extra water and a way to filter water. I also live in the Southwest so I am frequently in the middle of no where and if the weather gets bad, I have issues with my truck etc, it’s just better to be prepared because there is not always a Walmart of other store to stock up. And you may just have to hunker down somewhere for a while.
@@KeyofDavid5778 I carry a Sawyer mini almost everywhere and I have a lifestraw and lifestraw water bottle. I also carry some filtration tablets in my first aid kit.
I recently started watching your channel. You have great content and a pleasant disposition in your delivery. Enjoyable to watch. Keep up the great work! As an empty nester, I’ve been reigniting my adventure seeking activities and your channel is a helpful resource. Thanks!
I LOVE that you included the handkerchief at the end! I was thinking that with the napkins-- I always have some disposable (for really gross stuff), and a couple reusable in the glove compartment. Great for when a rest-stop bathroom doesn't have paper towels as well.
I'm going to put some folded up paper towels in my purse, as I hate when they don't have paper towels to dry my hands. And, unlike with a cloth handkerchief a paper towel can also be used to pull the gross door handle then disposed of.
If you use Band-Aids on your feet to avoid blisters, try duct tape. I used it on my last 3-day / 30 mile camping/hiking trip. It's much more durable. For maps, I download the area I'm going to be in on Google Maps. I make my itinerary in Google Sheets and download it for offline use. I never use addresses for trailheads or park locations, I only use GPS coordinates. I love the All Trails app for hiking.
Even on day trips I have a backpack with change of cloths, frozen water jugs in cooler to keep food dry and my camp cook stuff so I stay away from fast food or restaurants plus dogs like to hang in the park while I cook.
I’m the same way with light sensitivity while I sleep. Sometimes, I will go as far as having to tape over the bright lights of a digital alarm clock! lol.....I also like to bring me with “poop bags” and a toilet seat for those “omg, I need to use the bathroom right now” moments 😆
My trusty headlamp (hands free peeing in the woods, need I say more? lol) and my waterproof Uno and playing cards for those rainy days. Definitely essential.
Luxury snacks, yes! Go to road trip trail mix is the Archer Farms Dark Chocolate Espresso Trail Mix. Sometimes I want to go on a road trip just so I can eat it....
My orange jacket it from Cotopaxi but I got it years ago so they don't sell that exact one anymore. I also have the Patagonia Nano puff jacket and I love that because it's actually pretty warm for how lightweight and packable it is!
Thanks for the video, nice to see what others have in their road trip setup. Question: what’s the water container that you use? I’ve looked on Amazon and REI but there’s mixed reviews for all of the containers that I’ve been looking at. How do you like yours?
I have two different ones. The blue one in the video is relatively new and it's ridged and durable. So far I really like it and I haven't had any issues yet. I also have a clear collapsible water cube that isn't quite as durable (a bird chewed through mine once), but it is a lot stronger than I thought it would be, and I'm not particularly gentle with it. I like it because it collapses and takes up less space as you use it or when you're storing it. I think we got the blue water jug from Sportsmans Warehouse and the clear one from REI. Hope this helps!
Please use that sunscreen on your neck and décolleté EVERY TIME you put it in your face, from experience… it will save your skin as you age. ♥️ LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!
I do take my anker with me in the car..I also take an atlas . But you gave me ideas on how to save m0ney on my trips to other states and national parks
Right now I'm using the Gaia GPS app and I pay for the premium version. I think there might be a free version of it, but I'm not sure what features are included.
If you have a AAA membership you can order up to 10 or so maps & they will mail them to you.. We keep local, area, regional, & a national paper map in each vehicle in a ziplock bag to keep dry. We order new maps when planning a new road trip.
The one I showed in the video is a 60L and I think it's a great size. I also have a 90L, but I hardly ever use that one because it's just too big for most trips.
Are you also planning on leaving the outback of the US? Come to Europe, every few hours you drive you experience a different language, historic culture.
We bring flashlights, extra batteries, a bluetooth speaker, solar lanterns, etc. :) What podcasts do you listen to? Do you have any that you recommend?
I listen to a lot of business/marketing podcasts and some health-related podcast. I try to use time in the car to catch up on the best practices for Pinterest and RUclips. Everything is constantly changing haha For a while I was listening to the Found my Fitness podcast a lot too and I've learned so much from that one!
Amanda! Great video! I love your eggplant colored leggings what brand are they? I am looking to invest in a pair of leggings that can hold up a bit to hiking and all things outdoor. Do you have favorite brand of leggings? I am looking for something full leg.
They are about 8 years old but I got them on sale from Lululemon. Prana makes some really nice hiking pants and leggings and I also have some pants from Athleta. I want to do some sort of hiking pants video this summer and test out some new brands!

Hi Amanda! Are you able to do a car tour of your current space? 🙌🏽
Like a car tour of how I pack everything in the car for road trips?
Good info
Is that duffle bag waterproof?? 😍
Great informative video. What map app do you use? So many of them you have to pay for.
Right now I'm using the Gaia GPS app and I pay for the premium version. I think there might be a free version of it, but I'm not sure what features are included.
Paper map a great idea. There are times when you can't ask google or siri for directions

Thank you for the tip! I'm a AAA member and I did not know this.
What size is your duffel? I've been considering buying that same Patagonia one but not sure about size... ?
The one I showed in the video is a 60L and I think it's a great size. I also have a 90L, but I hardly ever use that one because it's just too big for most trips.
Omg my husband and i JUST got a xterra for overlanding! We love it but dont see too many of them on the road!
I love my xterra!! It is the best adventure vehicle. I see them a lot around here in Utah but I don't think they make them anymore.

Omg chapstick is such a must
Definitely!! haha
I never have heard USB-C called USC. hmm kinda cool
