For starters, you'll need some hand sanitizer and masks
Photo: Warner Bros. As a full-time travel editor and writer, I’ve reported road trip stories in North Iceland, Ireland, Tasmania, Alberta, Alaska, Colorado, and Texas Hill Country. I’ve covered the best road-trip apps and podcasts, plus everything you need to know about road-tripping with pets. And just a few years ago, my partner and I crisscrossed America on a 16-month, 40-state, 229-city search for a new hometown.
$22 at Hedley & Bennett Buy Leatherman Clean Contact Carabiner $25 $25 A Leatherman multi-tool is a glove-box staple — up there with my registration, extra napkins, and emergency beef jerky. But this versatile carabiner is particularly useful in the COVID-19 era. Made of a naturally antimicrobial copper alloy, the pocket tool helps me avoid touching grody surfaces when I’m bouncing around the country. The hook opens many types of doors and doubles as a purse holder when attached to a table.
$80 at Bare Bones Buy $100 at Bed Bath & Beyond Buy Collapsible Dog Bowl, Set of 2 $8 $8 I’ve traversed our fine country with Chihuahuas on numerous occasions, and this duet of simple collapsible dog bowls have stood the test of time. They’re easy to clean and light enough to carry on day hikes. I simply pop it open when my pups are thirsty and smush it closed when not in use.
$35 at Amazon Buy $35 at Amazon Buy Unbound Merino Wool V-Neck T-Shirt $68 $68 I’ve always worn Merino wool base layers when camping or doing wintry activities like ice climbing and dog sledding. Not only does it keep me warm when it’s cold out and cool when it’s hot, Merino wool dries fast, never wrinkles, and rarely stinks of body odor, no matter how little I wash it. These magical powers make it a must-pack clothing item for road trips.
$6 at Ulta Beauty Buy Bestek 300W Power Inverter $30 This isn’t the sexiest thing on my list, but it’s important for keeping phones and laptops juiced on the go. The lightweight adapter plugs into my car’s cigarette lighter, yielding two fast-charging AC outlets and two USB ports. Highly recommended for all blogger/Instagram types.
