Gimme a quick survival guide. Tomorrow I'm headin up to MTL to practice and although I have the material solid, I'm a tad nervous and I need to know what you guys do to survive the long drives and shit.
sleeping mask and ear plugs
I bought a PSP and some games, cuz I get super bored and don't really like to socialize. A good old skool rpg will take your mind off road trips n shizz...
unisom (OTC sleeping meds), I dont know about you but I cant sleep for shit in a vehicle, or while others are partying around you
Some people seem to find it easier than others, I remember reading somewhere that mike aekerfeldt had toured so much he wanted to get a cd with ambient road noise and bed vibration since he got so used to sleeping on a bus.
of course, take into account he surely has a bus with actual beds and not just reclinable seats (or normal van seats) like most of us have to cope with
- If you can sleep while travelling, say in a bus, always sleep with your feet first.
