Hitting the Road: Must-Have Items for a Cross-Country Adventure
Emily Pogue and her husband are on a 10,000-mile road trip across the US, and they’ve packed their Subaru Forester strategically for the journey. From practical necessities to personal comforts, here are a few items they’ve found indispensable:
- Storage Bins: Keeping everything organized is key on a long trip. The Pogues use Greenmade yellow-lid storage bins to keep everything in its place, making packing and unpacking a breeze.
- Digital Photo Frame: A touch of home on the road. While printed photos adorn the walls of their usual abode, a digital photo frame brings cherished memories of loved ones to every temporary stop.
- Rechargeable Jump Starter: A lifesaver in a pinch. During a visit to Olympic National Park, a dead battery was no match for their portable jump starter, getting them back on the road quickly.
- Portable Tire Inflator: Convenience on the go. A portable tire inflator means never having to search for a gas station when tire pressure runs low.
- Air Fryer: A culinary essential. From pork chops to grilled cheese, their trusty air fryer ensures they can cook what they want, even when rental kitchens are lacking.
- Compact Lap Desk: Working remotely on the road. With a retractable mouse pad tray, this lap desk allows Emily to comfortably manage her business from anywhere.
With a well-equipped car and a spirit for adventure, the Pogues are making the most of their cross-country journey.
