I'm going on a very long car trip soon and I was wondering what the best things are to take. I have an Amazon gift card if there is something you think I should get.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

No.

Good headphones all the way, headphones, music, if all other charging ports will be busy get a power bank, maybe a neck pillow if you have some money left, but the main thing, HEADPHONES. If you have a Ps vita or a nintendo ds buy a new game.

I have some Apple earpods but I'm thinking about getting some better Sony headphones.

If you absolutely love Sony, I would recommend these two: 

Bluetooth Headphones

Wired headphones

 

Said that, I would recommend these: 

 

ATH-M50X

A really good and thick book ... 

 

or maybe some pen and paper with clipboard so you can doodle away ... 

... Life is a game and the checkpoints are your birthday , you will face challenges where you may not get rewarded afterwords but those are the challenges that help you improve yourself . Always live for tomorrow because you may never know when your game will be over ... I'm totally not going insane in anyway , shape or form ... I just have broken English and an open mind ...

Bring something to eat and drink. Something that doesn't easily spill is a tip. Battery bank can also be nice, if you don't have charging in the car (battery bank is generally nice to have, either way).

Take breaks at least once every two hours. Stretch your legs, take a leak, have a snack. This will help you (or the driver) stay focused on the road. Don't be stupid like I was, and jump in the car and drive for five hours non-stop at 60+ mph.

 

If you are just a passenger, then I suggest not to annoy the driver in any way. They literally has your life in their hands. Talking and such is fine, if the driver doesn't mind. But don't go "Hey, look! Over there!". And if you wont be driving yourself, then you have the perks of doing other stuff in the car. Read a book, play on a mobile device, watch a movie, etc.
