Travel is both a necessity and a fun activity, and that’s why road trips were invented. However, regardless of the reason for your travel, there will always be little things that pop up here and there that need to be addressed… like boredom, small injuries, thirst… regular things. We don’t have a choice about those things happening, but we do have a choice about being prepared!
