The Angry Buck Guide to Road-Trip Readiness: Gear, Snacks, and Not Getting Stuck Like an Idiot

Road trips are great… until they aren’t.
Dead batteries, dead phones, forgotten gear, zero snacks — suddenly you’re stranded, hungry, and rethinking every life choice that led you here.

Let’s fix that.

Rule #1: If It Needs Power, Plan for It

If your flashlight, optic, or phone dies mid-trip, it becomes an expensive paperweight.

  • Spare batteries
  • Phone chargers
  • Vehicle-friendly power solutions

If you rely on it, carry backups. Simple.

Rule #2: Small Gear Saves Big Headaches

You don’t need a full toolbox, but you do need basics:

  • Screwdrivers
  • Multitools
  • Gloves
  • Wipes (trust us on this one)

The little stuff solves most roadside problems — and keeps minor issues from turning into disasters.

Rule #3: Snacks Are Not Optional

Hunger turns reasonable people into angry passengers. Keep it simple:

  • Shelf-stable snacks
  • Drinks
  • Anything that prevents unnecessary gas-station roulette

A prepared driver is a happier driver.

Rule #4: Safety Isn’t Just for Emergencies

Flashlights, gloves, and basic safety gear aren’t dramatic purchases — they’re smart ones. Whether you’re dealing with a late-night stop or an unexpected situation, having the right gear beats hoping for the best.

The Angry Buck Takeaway

Prepared beats panicked.
A few small items in your vehicle can save time, money, and your sanity. Road trips don’t need to be complicated — they just need you to think ahead.
