Getting out in a canoe or kayak is an excellent way to break out of your normal routine, commune with nature, and enjoy a socially distant activity.

Camping is a great way to take a long summer vacation without encountering too many other people. If you\u2019re new to camping, you might be surprised at the number of supplies you may need, but don\u2019t worry, you can find a small storage unit to keep it all compact without cluttering your garage or home closets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How\nto pack the car for a camping trip<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make a checklist organized by category, and pack like-times together.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Storage bins are perfect for keeping supplies organized and make it easy to neatly pack the car. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The same rule applies to packing the car that we use for storage units: first in, last out. So, pack the things you will need first (like your tent and camp set-up items) with that in mind. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you have limited car and trunk space, buy an exterior cargo carrier. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pack heavier items on the bottom if you\u2019re stacking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start with a cleaned-out car, lay out all your items before you start putting them in the car to make sure nothing is missing before you start. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pack layers for multiple temperatures, such as the shift from day to night, but don\u2019t overpack clothing. Pack smarter, not more. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How\nto store camping gear: <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Camp gear ranges from small accessories to bigger items like\ntents, so organization is important. Keep an inventory to take with you to\nremember what you\u2019ve got and what you\u2019ll need for next year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure you\u2019ve removed all the perishables before putting the\ngear back in storage, and make sure everything is clean and dry. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sturdy crates and bins will last through many camping trips and\ntaking gear in and out of storage. Buy bins that will fit onto shelves to keep\nthings off the ground. Use cardboard to segment out bigger bins and keep like\nthings in the same quadrant. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be careful to ensure there are few to no hard creases when\npacking up your tent. Rolling instead of folding it can help keep it from\ntearing at crease points. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Road tripping<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/road-trip-snacks.jpg\" alt=\"person filling pink lunch box with food\" class=\"wp-image-16835\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/road-trip-snacks.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/road-trip-snacks-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/road-trip-snacks-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/road-trip-snacks-810x540.jpg 810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To\ntruly get away from home, pick a place you\u2019ve always wanted to see in U.S.\n(like a national park), book a hotel, and hit the road. Road trips are the\nperfect way to see the country around you more mindfully and at a slower pace. You\ndon\u2019t have to be in the car for days if that\u2019s not for you. Find a place closer\nto you and make a daycation\nout of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to pack for a road trip<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Minimize the need to stop as often and pack your own snacks and meals. Easy-to-grab snacks high in protein and vitamins help keep you healthy and your moods even. Pack each meal and snack in individual containers for neat packing in backpacks and coolers. Make sure to pack plenty of water, too. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pack pillows and soft blankets\u2014not only will they keep passengers cozy, but you can use them in the hotel or rental house for added safety. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make a great playlist of songs everyone loves and can sing along to, but also pack noise-canceling headphones for when you want to be in your own zones. Other electronics not to forget include device chargers, Bluetooth speakers in case the hotel does not have them, and tablets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Top of your \u201chow to pack for a road trip checklist\u201d should be to prepare your car as well as you prepare yourself\u2014make sure its spare tire, jumper cables, and fluids are all renewed, packed, and in working order. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How\nto store road trip gear<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Remove cords from electronics and store in their original boxes\nof possible. It\u2019s best to store electronics in climate-controlled units. Also,\nmake sure to remove batteries from electronics and flashlights. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To best store linens, roll instead of fold if you\u2019re short on\nspace, invest in ventilated shelves for longer-term storage, and launder and\nthoroughly dry everything before packing away.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Storing things like car fluids requires clear labeling and safe\nzones. Keep fluids in their original packaging and clearly label if you change\ncontainers. Mark containers with a date and store out of reach of children.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.

Camping in your backyard is a fun and more inexpensive option (if you already have the gear), but so is simply unplugging and finding new ways to rest, relax, and pamper yourself at home. Vacations can get pricey, so why not spend a little to enhance your surroundings at home?

Storage units are a great option when you\u2019re not using your outdoor space. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clean all your furniture before storing. It\u2019s good to use protective sealants on word furniture before use. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Metal is especially susceptible to things like rust and chipping paint, so make sure it\u2019s washed, dried, and sealed with a coat of wax for extra protection. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For cushions with removable slipcovers, make sure to launder and dry them before loosely stacking, elevated from the ground. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wash umbrella covers, let dry completely, lubricate the joints, and store in the closed position. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5.

Make sure your bike is clean, the chain is lubricated, and the tires are inflated to the recommended pressure. Keep your helmet cool and dry in its own box. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When it comes to hiking gear storage, cleanliness is also key. Clean your hiking boots with a coarse brush for caked-on dirt, and mild detergent and warm water once brushed. Spray insides with anti-fungal spray, dry, and stuff with paper to retain shape. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check in on your first-aid kit to make sure items are up to date and ready for use. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use plastic utility bins with labels for easy access to your gear at the start of a new hiking season. Keep an inventory list to remember what you have and what you need to stock up on. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully, some of these summer vacation ideas can help you reimagine canceled plans.
