Life is like chess. You make plans and you think ahead, trying to ensure that everything works out. But sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes you find yourself on the back foot, working reactively rather than proactively. But there are a few things you can do to make sure that whenever that happens, you’ve got a certain degree of preparation up your sleeve.
If you’ve never had to spend the night with the car seats as low as they’ll go, count your lucky stars, but if you have, you’ll recognise the importance of some of these essential travel items.
Rumpl Puffy Blanket
A blanket is always useful, but what about a ripstop, post-consumer recycled, DWR finished puffy blanket?
Rumpl Nanoloft Poncho
I know we just mentioned Rumpl, but how cosy would you be with both a puffy blanket and a Nanoloft poncho? Colour blocked like 80s ski jackets, the oversized poncho has a hood, a quilted lining, and packs into a tiny pocket.
Yeti Roadie 24
While Yeti measure the size of their Roadie 24 in beers – it holds 18 tinnies for anyone wondering – it’s just as useful for food. It’s so well insulated that it claims to keep ice frozen for up to two days, thanks to its Permafrost™ Pressure Injected Polyurethane Foam Insulation, Neverfail™ Interlocking Hinges, and loads of other trademarked capacities, your stash of emergency whatever's will always be cold.
Time Concept Lantern
Haha. Look at its playful yet practical face. Some of the best travel items are useful and cute. Need a companion to keep you sane? No problem. Wilson, I mean The Time Concept Lantern, isn’t just a giver of light – it might just be your new best friend.
