What You Should Take with You on a Long Road Trip
Everything you need to increase your comfort and safety on a long journey is on this list!
Long journeys always taste different. A pleasant conversation with your loved ones, accompanied by good music, enjoying the scenery and roadside delicacies can be a special experience in itself. To make this special experience even more comfortable and safe, it is important to pay attention to a few small but important details.
Taking precautions to increase both your comfort and safety before embarking on a long journey can ensure that you end the journey with only good memories. In this article, we will talk about what preparations you can make before a long journey.
Never go on a long journey without this equipment!
These safety precautions should be standard in every vehicle, but sometimes they are overlooked due to absent-mindedness or negligence. It is important not to set off on a long or short journey without making sure that all these vital items are in the vehicle.
First aid kit: You should always keep a first aid kit with you in case of simple injuries or situations that may occur in the vehicle.
Fire extinguisher: A fire extinguisher is one of the most important measures both for your own safety and against accidents you may encounter in traffic.
Triangular reflector: If you have to pull over to the side of the road, especially at night, a triangular reflector is a must-have item to make sure that other vehicles traveling in the same direction as you can spot you and avoid an accident.
Spare Tire Spare tire, which means spare tire, is a must-have precaution for every vehicle. It is very important for a pleasant and safe journey not to neglect the maintenance of the spare tires at the same time and to check their condition before setting off.
Spare kit bag: A bag with a tow rope and chain in case you are stranded on the road or in unfavorable weather conditions is an important precaution that can save not only your vehicle but also your life.
Don't forget to increase your comfort
Thermos and snacks: The most enjoyable part of road preparation is preparing something to eat and drink. It's always good to have a hot cup of coffee or a snack on hand for those long journeys when you can't always get the flavor you crave, when you need a night's sleep, when you're feeling nauseous in your car, or when you're stuck on the road due to an inconvenience.
Something to watch: Many platforms such as Netflix and YouTube allow you to download content to your device and watch it without using cellular data. Download your favorite content to your phone before you hit the road and enjoy the road and the media at the same time
Neck pillow Comfort is important! It is useful to have pillows that prevent neck stiffness while sleeping on a long journey.
Lumbar cushion: You should definitely take a lumbar cushion / pillow with you to travel with pleasure without experiencing back and back pain.
Phone holder: When you need to use your phone for navigation, music, etc., it is a life-saving tool that allows you to do your job without distraction and without having to take your eyes off the road.
Cup holder: We strongly recommend that you have cup holders in your vehicle that allow you to place your drinks safely, preventing them from spilling everywhere in a sudden brake and turning the journey into a torment.
Powerbank Don't run out of battery before the road, stay online and in touch all the way with powerbank.
Music playlist: The road is not without music. The songs you listen to on a pleasant road trip become synonymous with that journey, taking you back to those moments every time you hear them throughout your life. Don't forget to prepare a road playlist for yourself with energizing, mood-lifting and enjoyable songs
Last but not least
Rules and precautions, even if we find them boring, are important to make our lives worth living. In order not to neglect a simple precaution for a few minutes and regret it for a lifetime, make sure you take all the precautions, especially before embarking on a long journey.
