I remember on my first road trip in the van I brought almost everything including my long board, slack line, hammock, daypack and much more… This was a two-day trip to Chattanooga… I rode the board for 5 minutes total and didn’t use the slack line, hammock or daypack once. One thing is for sure though, I had to find places to put all of that junk when I wanted to spread out and relax. Before your trip, write down a list of things you want to take and pick the essentials. Think simple.
