What To Pack For A Road Trip

Bringing the right things can be the difference between a great experience

, and a disaster. Making a list of what to pack for a road trip is a great way to be prepared and feel safe in the knowledge that you have everything covered.

Something a lot of people don't think about, but can be really fun to have, is a set of binoculars. Depending on how important this is to you a nicer pair can certainly go up in price, but you can find a cheap $10-$20 pair fairly easily. Once you have a pair you'll find it's fun to be able to pull over and take a look at things at different scenic outlooks. It'll give you a lot more value from your road trip, since part of the point is to see the sights.

You'll want to have a small ice chest for drinks. Often when people realize they want an ice chest they end up bringing one of the full size ones stuffed with food, which is nice if that's what you want to do, but often these end up being more hassles than they're worth. Bringing food that doesn't need to be chilled, or stopping at restaurants (the best is usually a mix of the two) is a lot easier when it comes to food. You want to have drinks with you constantly, however, and taking care of a small ice chest with a few drinks in it is very convenient.

A first aid kit for the road is essential. Things happen, especially when you're outside of your normal routine, and if you don't have one of these around you'll almost certainly end up needing it.

GPS devices are becoming so convenient with all of their new features that they're practically a necessity these days, especially when you're looking at what to pack for a road trip. They can help you find the nearest gas station or hospital, they can plot you a route avoiding toll roads, or highways, they can plot you the fastest route or the shortest distance, and they do it all in one small device that won't take up too much room in the car. Navigation plays a key role in the success of any road trip and a GPS system makes it a pain free task.
