I’m going to be driving across the US in a couple weeks and want to know the best things to bring along for the ride!

    The advice here is good, but it may be a little too safe.

    If you want an adventure, use an atlas and truck stops like Loves or Pilot for snacks, a nap or shower. These places are rad, super safe and clean (the stigma is bullshit). It can be a little more expensive and take a little longer, but there are a LOT of great and interesting people in the US and it’s pretty much the safest it’s been since the sixties.

    Also, I recommend favoring AM or FM radio (in that order) to hear some wild stuff out in the boonies.

    Edit: Make sure your car’s lights are all working so the cops don’t waste your time. The US may be safer than it has been, but the cops sure ain’t.
