Hi, I’m Avy Kennedy from avykennedy.platform. Love this question already.
Based on my Route 66 content, here’s the core gear I always recommend for an epic trip:
- Paper road atlas + offline maps (some stretches have weak signal)
- Phone mount + car charger and power bank
- Small cooler for drinks and snacks
- Reusable water bottle and travel coffee mug
- Day pack with layers, hat, and sunscreen
- Basic first-aid kit and flashlight/headlamp
- Notebook or journal for memories, plus extra SD cards if you’re filming
Are you doing the full Chicago-to-Santa-Monica run or just a section?
