Why I always pack like I'm going into survival mode for every trip

What is this about the cars? I’ve been driving different kinds of objects since I was a young kid.

Everything started with the bicycle, that’s the time when you learn how to remember directions and enjoy your peaceful driving either alone or with others.

Jump to any part:

When I was a kid I was dreaming

When I was a kid I was dreaming one day that I will travel further distances than my neighborhood. Since then I treat any kind of transport that I personally move around as a ticket to freedom as well as some kind of meditation. It feels good, day or night.

I always like the preparation process

I always like the preparation process before any trip. With the bicycle I had enough spare parts and tools with me, so I can repair my bicycle if it breaks down. The same principles I apply to cars. Before every trip, I prefer if everything that is needed for survival is with me. That makes me enjoy the trip even better.

For day-to-day driving and special trips

For day-to-day driving, all necessities are with me all the time, but I am talking about special trips like if I go abroad or going on an off-road adventure. There was a time when I even had to fix my own cars because no one else could do them better than I did. :)

Here is a short video for spontaneous off-road rides with an old Jeep Grand Cherokee 2000 4.7 V7
