Gear for Roadtripping
Having just returned from a 4500-mile roadtrip, I’d like to recommend the following essential gear.
Thermos Nissan 14-oz. Leak-Proof Travel Mug
What I love about this vacuum-sealed mug:
- Keeps coffee or tea hot for at least 6 hours
- Keeps ice water cold for at least 6 hours
- Doesn’t leak
- Has a great handle, and it fits in the car cup holders
It’s a little pricey, but worth it for sitting in the car for hours at a time. Available through Thermos and several online vendors in smoke, espresso, and stainless colors.
REI MultiTowel Lite X Large Towel
What I love about this microfiber towel:
- Folds up into a tiny package
- Dries extremely quickly
- Has a clasp for hanging
- Is absorbent
At $26.50 it’s a little pricey, but worth it for traveling and camping. Available at REI in orange and green.

Great recommendations! I am going to start lobbying for my personal Nissan Stainless mug.
My essentials include foam earplugs for instant car slumber (only if you are the passenger) and a headlamp for hands free vision.
