The air is getting warmer and the days are getting longer. That means one thing -- summer adventure season is just around the corner! With that said, there are things you need to pack in your travel bag for an exhilarating excursion. From toilet paper to pain medication, here are six travel essentials that any sensible adventurer should carry.

Sunscreen

Not only does overexposure to sunlight affect the appearance of your skin, it is also the prime cause of skin cancer; especially among those who are above 50 years of age. Pack a tube of sunscreen or, if you prefer, a moisturizer with built-in SPF. It will keep your skin hydrated and protected. Your epidermis will thank you!

Basic Toiletries

A roll of toilet paper, hand wipes, and a small bottle of sanitizer can help you feel fresh and prepared for when nature calls in the wilderness. You know what we mean.

Medication

Don’t let joint pain ruin your summer escapade. Bring a pill box with basic medications: pills for digestion, Motrimax™ 12-Hour Liquid Gels for inflamed joints and sore muscles, and a remedy for minor headaches.

A Digital Alternative

The great outdoors is not the best for securing wireless signal. Prepare to go off the grid with the good ol’ essentials: a paper map, walkie-talkies and a paper list of phone numbers in case your phone dies.

Plastic Bags

In fact, any sort of waterproof bag will do. When an unexpected rainstorm hits or if you have items you must keep dry, having extra plastic bags can provide water-resistant shelter to your belongings. Not to mention, a disposable bag can be used to store trash and other garbage you accumulate during your outdoor adventure.

Recording Device

Make your summer adventure last for years to come. Photograph your surroundings, jot down special observations, or even render a quick sketch of the landscape.

Be prepared for all of life’s adventures. Motrimax™ 12-Hour Liquid Gels provide quick, effective and long-lasting relief from joint pain and pain from inflammation so that you can make the most of your summer adventures.
