Band drops our new album with a big Chicago show on the 12th, then that weekend, we hit it for 2 weeks. If you want to see the dates/cities, DM me - but given that its August and we’ll be going through some desert area, any tips? Never been in a proper desert before.
Compared to other tours I’ve been on, we’ll be in much hotter places. So, ive got sunscreen and sunglasses on the list, and ill make sure we get some hydration tablets. We’re using a rental van, so we have AAA in case we next anything out in the middle of nowhere with the van. Cases of water are a must, and beyond that im kinda drawing a blank. I will be taking my Luffy hat for the sun as well. Wet wipes too.
As far as entertainment shit, im covered on that so really just looking for “what would you take if you had to drive hours through the desert?”
Car-camping amateur here, I’ve slept many times in my Prius when hiking around Colorado rockies. I don’t know how reliable your van is, but it doesn’t hurt to have a jumper kit, and learn how to jumpstart your car. Even if you end up not needing it, it is very useful around carparks to help other people, or to help other people who are stranded on the side of the road, and can be a nice conversation starter so you can meet and interact with new people.
