Top Five Essential Road Trip Items
Road trips are an original and memorable way to spend your holiday, either as a short summer break with family, or a long-term adventure with friends. But with so much to do when organising your holiday, it's surprisingly easy to overlook the essential items that could make your life on the road that little bit easier.
One of the first things on your list should be insect repellent, because mosquitoes are everywhere. So if you don't like the idea of being an all-night buffet for these flying pests, then investing in a decent repellent spray and mosquito net will ensure that you'll spend your nights bite free.
When it comes to personal hygiene, it pays to think ahead. You might not know when or where you'll get a shower, so take a few bottles of a product like no rinse shampoo and no rise body wash, which will leave you squeaky clean without needing to use water. A travel electric toothbrush is also a must; it'll clean your teeth and won't take up too much space in your bag.
But if you don't know where you'll be getting your next shower from, then finding a clean and working toilet might be difficult, and if you're a woman then peeing outdoors will lead to half undressing in order to do your business. The Sheewee is a specially designed reusable funnel that allows women to pee standing up, with no loss of dignity or unfortunate accidents. Just undo your trousers, push your pants to one side, and then use the Shewee to take aim and fire!
If you need to do more than just pee, then the aptly named Shitbox lets you to go to the toilet outside hygienically and without fuss. Made of sturdy recycled cardboard, it can be quickly constructed and used over again, just put it together, put one of the biodegradable bags inside and relax. The Bag can then be disposed of safely and the box conveniently repacked into its duffle bag so no one is any the wiser.
