Recommended gear: 👇
⚡️CamelBak M.U.L.E Hydration Pack- https://amzn.to/3dRhpaO. The M.U.LE. is my most recent CamelBak purchase, and we chose this one because of the 3 Liter water bladder and storage available for our other items. It has exceeded our expectations.
⚡️CamelBak Mini M.U.L.E Hydration Pack- https://amzn.to/36eXTRB. This pack is the mini version of the pack we love, and our kids love it too! It holds 50 oz of water.
⚡️Goodr Polarized Sunglasses- https://amzn.to/3yq94Tq. I received a pair of these in my swag bag after completing a half marathon and they've been my go-to sunglasses for the past two years. They are light, comfortable, never slip, and the polarized lens keep the glare away.
⚡️Hoka Arahi Running Shoe- https://amzn.to/3xgUi1b. These shoes have taken care of Matt's leg pain and have made hiking possible for him again. The wide base with a sturdy grip has made a huge difference.
⚡️Asic's Gel Venture- https://amzn.to/3Ax6Vao I've been a runner and hiker for 20+ years and Asic's are the only shoes I use. They are lightweight, cool, and offer excellent cushion and support.
⚡️Jason Aldeen Georgia Boy Hat- https://amzn.to/3e7mJr1. Keep the sun away, stay cool, and look good in this straw cowboy hat. It's the perfect hat for exploring the West!
⚡️Sursip 1 Gallon, Vacuum Sealed Insulated, Travel Water bottle- https://amzn.to/3PAzVW3. We bought this one because it was half the price of its high-end competitors, and it had half the customer complaints! It has good ice retention; we have not been disappointed.
⚡️Lifetime 77 Quart Cooler- https://amzn.to/2V53pnm. After a lot of research online and asking family and neighbors, this was the winner. It is incredibly sturdy and well-made and has up to 9 days ice retention (we've seen it last 4 days but are pleased with those results since it was 100 degrees on our last trip). A great cooler is a road trip must!
