The Road Trip Pack List

For drives measured in songs, not miles. The second list in our pack list series gets the car, the cab, and the crew ready, with the judgment built in.

Newly re-pressed in our letterpress style: worn type, real paper grain, bold high-contrast pages that look hand-set rather than exported.

• The Rig, The Cab, The Cargo: from tire tread to the snack bag's rightful place (up front, obviously)
• Condition Decks: check only what matches this drive: With Kids, The Overnight Stop, National Park Run, Winter Roads
• Road Math: fuel, stops, snacks, and queued-audio formulas, plus the 20% arrival rule
• The Glovebox Five: the five things that live in the car and vanish anyway
• The Route page: a stops-worth-stopping-for planner, with a fuel checkbox per stop
• The Scenic Route Rule: budget one detour a day; the fastest way is rarely the one you'll remember

Instant digital download: a 4-page US Letter PDF with tappable checkboxes. Nothing ships. For personal use. Pairs with The Perfect Campsite Pack List.
