We’re moving out to CO in about a month so I figured I’d see if anyone has tips/advice, good things to keep in the car, etc. This is the first time driving more than 2.5 hours with the whole family (wife, seven month old, and two fluffy dogs that weigh a combined 190lbs) so it will be interesting. The route planning is pretty much done and with the size of our dogs, the only real option we’ve been able to find for hotels is La Quinta.
I think I have a pretty decent emergency kit to include medical, lights, woobie, etc. I also have jumper cables, warning triangles, a decent tire plug kit with small pump, and will be getting a fire extinguisher. We’re undecided on whether we’ll be driving both vehicles or just one. If both, I’m leaning towards some kind of radio for comms so I’m open to suggestions there. I know OPTactical sells a Baofeng that seemed decent for the money, last I checked.
Something that I still need to look for but haven’t really seen discussed is a car holster. We’ll be on the road for 6-9 hours a day so I’m really leaning towards something that’ll allow me to mount my Roland Special instead of just keeping it AIWB for that whole time. I was interested in the G-Code RTI vehicle mount kit because I’ve used the RTI stuff paired with Safariland holsters for years and have been very pleased. Downside is that I’d most likely have to buy a whole new left handed holster. Obviously whenever we stop it’ll go back into my CCW holster.
If anyone has thoughts on the above or anything else that may be helpful, I’d appreciate it.
