Okay, I’ve gotta say it: this Wirecutter road trip gear guide feels like a love letter to the over-packers and backup-plan people of the. Just scrolling through the list makes me want to plan a long, wandering route somewhere just to justify packing half this stuff.
I already travel with a paper atlas and my Weego jump starter lives in my glovebox full time. But now I’m eyeing that ridiculous $500 MoonShade like it’s my next unnecessary necessity. Also props to whoever called the chat pack a silence-breaker I’ve had one of those in the glovebox for years, and it’s pure chaos after hour six in the car.
Anyone out there tried that Hest camping mattress in a smaller SUV? Wondering if it’s really worth the backseat space.
