Any advice to a noob roadtripper?
What type of car do you have?

Try to keep a fairly balanced diet. If you're just eating shit, consider vitimin tablets or something. You aint gunna send if you're nutrition is poor.

Try not too eat too much ramen.

Oatmeal can be bought in bulk some places and combined with brown sugar makes a damn fine breakfast.

When at a campsite, don't just hang with the climbers. There are some interesting people about, generally doing interesting things. Try some of them.

Do not hitch rides, or give rides, to people with scary eyebrows.

Be weary when climbing with new partners, always start on something uncommiting to gauge their abilities before getting on something serious.

Learn how to slackline and try a highline.

BE BEAR AWARE.

Mark your gear, and keep sharp track of it.

Check with people at a campsite if there are any animals you should be aware of. E.G. squirrels that will chew through your bag/tent and steal food, goats that will trash your tent to eat food etc.

Bring entertainment for shit weather days.

Uh... don't spray.

This is all sound advice, especially the eyebrows stuff. You can tell a lot about a man from his eyebrows.

I would add water. Really, I often underestimate the amount of water I will consume during a trip, and nothing sucks like having to leave your nestled campsite to go get water when the nearest source is miles away. A good filter and a large water jug are very handy on a long roadtrip.
