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?”
To add to what Prole said, get yourself one of those collapsible emergency fuel cans if you don’t have the space for a jerry can. It’s a reactionary measure, but saves the hassle if you need a can. Calculate your MPG as well and reset your trip odometer every fuel up so you know when you’ve got ~100 or so miles left. For long distance in the south west I wouldn’t let myself get under 75 miles before looking for a gas station.
Roger that, thanks!
