Finally booked your trip to the US? Now the exciting part begins… studying the itinerary, reading up on the sights you’ll see, and eventually packing! It can be daunting to start, especially for a long and varied trip like The Full Coyote. We decided to do the hard work for you and create an ultimate USA packing list for our adventures:

 

Clothing

It is best to pack for warm and cold climates, sunny and rainy. Even though you will have a good idea of the weather while you’re packing, it’s always good to be prepared. A lot of our adventures involve camping and a variation of climates. Our top tip is layering: bring summer clothes that can be layered to be warm winter clothes!

• Waterproof jacket
• Warm clothes: jumpers/fleece/layers/long-sleeve tops/jeans/joggers
• Cool clothes: shorts/skirts/dresses/t-shirts/vests
• More dressy clothes (bar hopping/restaurants)
• Comfortable walking shoes
• Comfortable sandals
• Socks and underwear
• Pyjamas – for warm weather and cold.
• Swimwear

 

 

 

Toiletries / Medicine

Most of our Coyote’s just need the basic toiletries, however when travelling it’s good to have a few extra pieces to ensure you are safe and comfortable!

• Shampoo and Conditioner
• Soap
• Face wipes/body wipes
• Toothbrush and toothpaste
• Deodorant
• Dry Shampoo
• Hairbrush
• Hair gel/product
• Moisturiser
• Sun cream
• Anti sting cream / bug repellant

• Hand-wash laundry detergent
• First aid kit: Painkillers, anti-diarrhoea tablets, aftersun lotion, plasters/bandages, thermometer, antibacterial gel, motion sickness tablets

 

 

 

Accessories

It’s always frustrating when you arrive in a new country and realise you’ve forgotten the new gadget you bought for the trip, don’t let that happen! Follow our accessories packing list to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

• Camera and camera film (if needed)
• Headphones
• Laptop (if needed)
