Aside from the obvious clothes and personal items you’ll want to take on the road with you, there are a number of things that you might want to consider adding some other ‘must-haves’ to your pre-lap shopping list.
Now, obviously, your Big Lap is all about living simpler, but that doesn’t mean to say you can’t stock up on the things that will make life on the road easier or more comfortable.
1. Storage Solutions
With space at a premium and storage being limited, having some clever storage solutions will make life so much easier and more organized. And while you may not think organization is the most important thing before you set off, when you’re on your Big Lap, trust us, you’ll have a whole new appreciation for it! Look for stackable plastic bins with lids like the IRIS USA 19 Quart Store-It-All Tote to keep your items organized and protected from dust and moisture. These durable, stackable options are great for both indoor and outdoor use.

Keeping your devices charged and having a reliable power source is crucial when you’re on the road. The Goal Zero Yeti 400 Portable Power Station is an excellent choice. It provides reliable power for charging electronics, running lights, and even powering small appliances. Versatile and portable, it can be recharged via solar panels, wall outlets, or car chargers, making it an ideal companion for your travels.

Keeping your living space comfortable in varying climates is important. A good quality Portable Fan like the OPOLAR Rechargeable Battery Operated Clip Fan will keep you cool during hot days.
