you should imagine that someone is watching you. You wouldn't act weird in front of strangers
Dude I love the feeling of being alone on the open road. I could drive for 15 hours and not be tired. I love it. I love it so much. I feel luckiest to be an American when I'm on the open road
I'd suggest getting some sleep and/or piece of pie at nearest open small town diner
Me too, though tbh I prefer motorcycle or bicycle to car these days
I know exactly what you mean. I get the same feeling driving in Australia. Such a feeling of freedom
Clearly, if you are driving 10 hours at a stretch, you are trying to get someplace, or maybe escape the cold. Most people who travel America long-term do about 2 or 3 hours of driving a day.
Your mental health is your concern, it has nothing to do with driving or travel.
10 hours. LOL. I once drove 30 hours from Las Vegas to Louisville Kentucky through a blizzard, on a single stretch without a nap, only stopping for gas and to piss. Mountain Dew is your secret weapon. OP is fragile. His parents should have spanked him more as a child.
30 hours lol, I once walked 1 month, 2 weeks and 1 day from Berlin to Paris thorough a forest, on a single stretch without a nap, only stopping for Belgium and the Netherlands. Pervitin is your secret weapon. Anon is fragile. His parents should have spanked him even more as a teen.
Back in my day we had to walk to school uphill, both ways, in the snow.
I once did 9 hour drive and my back was killing me for days, can't imagine how people do it often.
Same. I don't know how truckers do it. It's mentally exhausting as well. I can't imagine you get great rest either sleeping at highway rest stops and subsisting off goyslop
Having a more ergonomic car helps a lot. Trucks
that do over the road have air cushion seats and shit like that but its a shitty lifestyle.
2 hours doesn't even get you from the suburbs of one side of a typical American city to the other side. I don't believe you're actually from the US. I would say 5-6 hours is a comfy road trip distance for the US. That's how long it takes to drive across the Navajo rez just as an example. Google says its less but there's always construction and indians driving like idiots hanging you up.
Same but its something people either like or they don't. Also zoomers are oversocialized due to social media childhoods can't handle lack of attention from others... It would serve a lot of them well do have a forced 30 day wildland experience or something.
A lot of the US is actually spooky, especially at night, there's a lot of negative history that happened in this country and I think it affects the land in some way. Plus night brings out agressive hopped-up Jeet truckers, human/drug traffickers, drunks, coke/methheads, cops who got stuck with a shitty shift, I don't really like night travel. Try to be at your destination before like 9 pm and stop to take things in, its a good mental reset. I even try to avoid eating in the car, it takes longer but is a good reset mentally.
this, just sleep bro. frick driving long stretches in the night
most I've drove not stopping was like 6 hours and i ended up uncomfortable as frick
140 miles per day is the highest I've averaged while traveling in America with no specific destination. That trip lasted 57 days and cost me $1700 total. Of course, if you have somewhere to get to, you're not going to bother stopping at every point of interest along the way, and you might even blow right through an entire city.
The Navajo Nation is a special case, as outsiders are prohibited from entering reservation land without a permit, so one must drive end to end. West Texas is another region where long driving distances are necessary. In fact, Texas' ban on public camping, including cooking meals in a vehicle in public spaces, means it is now illegal to vagabond around the state.
wtf i thought us was the land of the free
>outsiders are prohibited from entering reservation land without a permit
I've never been hassled there exploring around but I also don't linger too long. Indian land is one place I won't do urbex stuff on.
Is there a shill campaign against traveling solo on this board right now or what?
I just drove cross country twice and this is some of the most serene I've been thinking in my life, wouldn't recommend going to much last 10 hours though
>Regret traveling solo pls help
how about you stop and sleep somewhere
AHHHHH IT'S DARK OUT Black personMAN SAVE ME
total zoomoid death
>Driving in the dark
Are you not scared of hitting animals?
I would never do that in Australia unless it's on the main freeway where there's enough traffic.
are you serious? lol I'm in Canada and always drive on highways in the dark. Usually you can tail behind someone so they hit the moose first
It's way worse in Australia as far as kangaroos on the road than it is here with deer and coyotes.
looks comfy. how far have you drove since reposting this?
