You know what works improve animal welfare? Not hunting them.

Wasn’t Italy trying to pay people to go and live in don’t towns? And now they just want people to die? WTF

• If you’re driving with someone, a good neck pillow for the passenger so they can rest when you trade off.

• Back pillows for everyone.

• Be sure to text someone everytime you make a stop for gas and let them know where you are, where you’re headed next and approximately when you’ll get there - that way if you don’t text they’ll know to call and have an approximate location to look for you.

• building off the last item, add air tags in your car and belongings that you can track and also share the account info with trusted family/ friends to help locate you in the event something goes wrong

• Bring little orange cones in case you break down or have to fix a flat. Safety first - vest doesn’t hurt either.

• Download music or audio books as you won’t get reception in many areas.

• good pair of sunglasses and a backup pair

• extra prescription meds - split between two bags in case you lose one

• cut proof and RFID blocking bag of some sort put your wallet, phone, keys in when you stop - fanny packs are great but not for everyone. Find one that works for you whether it be a backpack or something else. Travelon is a great brand.

• stop for gas each time you get to half a tank. I know it sounds like overkill but you never know if you’ll be diverted for a road closure through the heartland with no services for 100+ miles. It never hurts to have a full tank, give yourself a stretch, bio break and caffeine refill.

I’ve done road trips with a partner and solo - you’ll have s blast. Make sure you’re safe first and foremost. Do tons of research before you go so you hit all the spots you’re interested in and have backup plans in case places are closed. Take some pictures but also just enjoy your journey.

Have a great trip!

Edit: many swipe typos

They should sell it back to Texas at a huge markup. Then when it floats back over to their waters, sell it back again, and again, and again. Endless money stream.

I used to ride the bus with a lady who grew up in a coal town. We once debated over coal. She said it was so green because there were so many regulations and that wind and solar were horrible for the environment because they were killing birds. So yeah, people are stupid.

Do you have any brand and model recommendations?
