10 cheap but useful things to take with you on your trip

Traveling is not the same as traveling, and you and I understand that very well. Naturally, 90% of the things you need to carry with you will depend on your plans, the place and the level of development of the region. And if everything is clear with “seal” trips to Turkey and Egypt, what about those where you don’t plan to sit still?

Based on extensive experience of traveling to different places and seasons, we have collected a check-list of things that well not that a hundred percent should be with you, but you should think about them.

For a checklist of things to bring on a camping trip, see this article.

Power adapter

Not everyone knows or thinks about in the planning stage that there will be other power grid sockets in the place they are going. It’s amusing to see individuals trying to come up with a “Nipple system” that will charge their phone or run their hair dryer. To prevent this from happening, just buy a “duty” adapter and always carry it with you.

Price: 800-1500 rubles.

Stand for phone or tablet

It would seem that in ordinary life this device has a small popularity. But, you know, when you will be in a tent or traveling across the country on a bus, or maybe just sitting on a balcony in the jungle, enjoying the “local stars”, such a stand will come in handy for comfortable viewing of a serial.

Price: 600-1000 rubles.

Lanyard 1 m

Here in general you can think of a million useful applications. For example, to use instead of a belt or to tie your hat to your backpack. Or suddenly your tent cord, which goes to the tent peg, breaks. What will you do then?

The cord will definitely save you, you don’t have to go to your grandmother.

Price: about 25 rubles.

Earplugs

Experienced travelers know how necessary they are, especially in cases of budget travel, where you have to sleep in hostels, similar to squats. They don’t take up much space, but they are very useful.

Price: 150 rubles.

Waterproof phone bag

Social networks are full of media content with underwater footage. And in this case it is not necessary to carry a whole film crew with you on vacation. A simple solution such as a waterproof case or bag, call it what you want, is enough. The essence is simple: you put your gadget inside, close the hermetic lock and you can create.

Price: 1000 rubles.

Plastic container

Lifehacks on how to use this thing were overheard during the next stories of experienced wanderers around the world.

At least you can safely put there sandwiches for the day or inconspicuously take out croissants from the buffet, or maybe just remove the annoying change that usually rattles around in bags, and this is not just about coins.

Price: 100-500 rubles.

Knife with fork and spoon

Yes, such a device exists. Multifunctional folding knife, to which both spoon and fork are attached. It is an indispensable thing in hiking and during any active vacation. But remember, if your journey involves air travel, then it will have to be put in the luggage. Alas and ah.

Price: within 1000 rubles.

Paper card

Let’s imagine one million comments: “XXI century now. Everything is in the phone, and only pirates use paper cards”. Yes, but the phone can be stolen, there may be no network, it may run out of battery, or you want to shoot the waves of the ocean and drown it to hell (tested on myself). And actually, it’s not that easy to navigate on paper. You should try it, only if you’re not afraid.

Price: 400 rubles.

Headlamp

This thing is quite useful under any circumstances. Starting from a simple search-and-digging in your own bag to a night hike along Sri Lankan serpentines to the place of your bungalow. Believe me, you should bring it with you next time as you will definitely discover its maximum usefulness.

Price: 500 rubles.

Carabiner

We have already mentioned this amazing “gadget” several times in our materials and we are not going to stop. No matter where you are, who you are and why. Strap a water bottle, jacket, skateboard, helmet, hiking poles, anything to your backpack – it’s very convenient.

Especially in cases where you don’t like to carry foreign objects in your hands. You’d rather be a “hedgehog with apples on your back” than a juggler of 1000 objects. As one famous traveler would say: “My personal recommendation”.

Price: 700 rubles.
