I rode the Greyhound across the country and had recently had gallbladder surgery. I had to take vicodin for pain and while I was sitting in the back row of the bus this woman said she would give me 50 bucks for a pill. I said no I need them for pain. Its my prescription. She said she would blow me right there if I gave her a pill. I never sat in the back of the bus again and now always sit up front close to the driver. Too many freaks and crazies in the back.
Vicodin you say? Thank you.
It’s all about Perspectives, My Man! I woulda set back and enjoyed giving up a pill for a big smile across my face in the dark!😅

Gosh. x. 3
@user-li3ep1fv2n depends 🤔
I always recommend to bring a bottle of liquor for what ever trip your on
Me too bro!!
I always have a hoodie, water, snacks, pepper spray and a portable charger.😊
My favorite travel snack-- a ziploc bag full with a mix of M&Ms and cashew nuts! Other travel things: Sometimes my feet get cold, so I'll carry an extra pair of socks so I can wear double socks if needed. A small flashlight can be a lifesaver. A small pack of baby wipes is so useful to have for cleaning up, and keeping my hands clean. Some plastic grocery bags for trash, to wrap clothes and extra shoes in. A small folding umbrella. A rain poncho. Hand sanitizer, and a small can of Lysol spray to disinfect toilet seats before you sit on them. A sun hat, and sunglasses. ALWAYS carry water! , and something that you can refill with water when it's empty.
Took my first greyhound trip from Tampa to New Jersey (27hrs), to say the least I was excited to take the trip back from New Jersey to Tampa due to how effortless and smooth my trip was🤗 apart from 90% of the passengers being persons of “unsound” mind the drivers were friendly and made the journey less hectic and they were helpful, I look forward to another ride with greyhound 🙏🏽 helpful tip: ALWAYS sit in the front, it’s much more peaceful and it’s where the civilization is🤷🏽♀️
Glad to hear you had a great trip!
Essential for flights or bus trips are wipes in my bag, even to the store. I take wipes, put them in a ziplock bag and add alcohol to soak the wipes. That way, I can wipe toilet seats, handles, arm rests, trays, seatbelt locks, buggy handles, etc.. You hit the nail on the head with all of your advice. Thank you.
I like to have a "soft stuff" bag for clothes and a "hard stuff" bag for electronics, snacks, toiletries.
when I worked as a Security Officer, I often toted a gallon of water and a collapsible cup to avoid drinking water from a garden hose. A day's food.Toilet paper. Portapotty, on the job site had very thin paper. Flashlight and jacket.Bought a very big backpack from a sporting goods store
Sometimes you get separated from your luggage, but it's tagged and will be at your final destination. I went from NY to LA and back, i was on 3 different buses each way. Everyday things keep with you, backpacks are great. A small shaving/oral care carry-all is a must.
I also take 2 plastic shopping bags with me and use them for trash bags while riding the bus. I put in wrappers from snacks. single serving condiment wrappers, etc. Also my backpack I got while helping out with a homeless ministry. It ended up 2 free ones and the one was filled with travel size toiletries. Made things easier on my end,
I love that one of the items are pepper spray 🤣🤣🤣🤣
And brass knuckles and a lock in a sock
I moved from Cleveland, Ohio to Texas on the greyhound bus, supprizingly it wasn't bad.
After just returning from a 1500 mile round trip ride on a greyhound my advice is to TURN BACK
I think some hand- and surface sanitizer can be helpfull if you have tthe need to use the restroom on the bus or if you want to clean your hands before eating and help yourself stay healthy during the journey.
Also, the suggestion about water bottles & snacks....Do it! Whenever I travel, I always have have something for hydration & to snack on.
Also, some backpacks have a hydration pack built into the bag. These Invariably have a tube that comes from the hydration bag. (Many referred to as 'Camelbacks') Do these bags cost more, absolutely. Oftentimes these bags *do* cost more but last forever due to the quality. Check your local Army/Navy Store or type Hiking backpack in Facebook Marketplace or craigslist. Many have multiple pockets and zippers to access the back, middle, and sometimes even the bottom of your backpack.
Tim. Great tips. When I end up traveling on the bus I bring many of these. Keep traveling 🧳
Great tips, thanks!
Thanks so much for this video!😊 Great ideas!
Another thing i would recommend though you don't need to take with you is a luggage scale. You can buy them on ebay for a cheap one for $5. That way you can weigh your luggage so you don't go over greyhounds weight limit. Mine has lasted for years and the replacement batteries can be bought at walmart. (mine uses a watch type battery) If you travel yearly or more it pays for itself because airlines charge wayyyy more for overage fees than greyhound so knowing is always important
Excellent suggestions not just for travel but many are great for every day carry. 👍
Great tips, Tim.
Ear plugs to help reduce the noises in your ears in case you get tired of hearing road noise or other people
Dude wipes individual packets are awesome just shove some in each pocket/bag.The dude wipe mint is really cool and refreshing
Well my travels in the fall as I headed from Chicago to Miami. Well November of course I'm going to be dressed for winter in Chicago. And of course the AC won't be on. Granted when I get down into Florida the tempature is getting warmer and usually around Orlando the AC gets put on. As so bus cooling off. I use my heavy winter jacket as a blanket. I'm carrying it off the bus in South Florida by then. I mean obviously you'll need a winter jacket in Chicago in November. Also if you're heading the opisit direction put your winter jacket in your carry on back pack. Ya might be 80 degrees in Florida but remember you're going north so unless it's July or August it's not going to be 80 degrees in Chicago or New York or ware ever you're going. So think about that. You're getting on a bus to a colder part of the country.. Tell me you saw that happening. I know hey its Chicago it's the middle of November go figure it's 25 degrees out here.. ya I'm going home now
Yes the power bank is a must the bus I was on the only 1 plug worked on the entire bus
Great video! 3 more things you should bring, are a bible, rosary, and a copy of your life insurance policy!LOL!
Ha, ha, ha, ha

Yes,my Bible and Rosary are a must !!
I am a very religious person,and need to pray on the move !!!!
Another ✔ off the Live Stream notebook suggestion list.
My man Tim just said "sick hippo", and I'm dead.
for portable chargers, my 7.99 walmart one died halfway through my trip and my friend's lasted her the entire trip. my advice is to look at the reviews and invest in a good brand/a good quality portable charger, it's worth the money to not be stuck without a phone when you're so far from home. the cheap ones are fine, but aren't always the most reliable pieces of tech. (edit: also be VERY careful w/pepper spray, for your own safety from getting accidentally sprayed by yourself AND because greyhound lists it as an item that's not allowed in your carry on but you can put it in your checked bag)
Until this video, I really did not know the definition of the word "funky." Now, the song "Take Me to the Funky Town," (really nice) has a new meaning, ha ha ha.
Velcro on the back of your smartphone, it stays on the fuzzy back of the seat in front of you.
I always bring a suitcase with me and I bring a small bag on the bus for my medicine 💊 where I can excess.

There are wipes that sorta do a “bath”. I don’t remember the name. I purchased some when my mom was bed bound.
I believe they are called body wipes.
Bath wipes
I like to suggest bringing a bottle of liquor to share with everyone

Travel guru rocks! BTW, Portland OR risky outside the Station. Druggie bums and human detritus everywhere. I got chased by a POS who threatened to beat m y brains in. My 83 y/o legs just barely got me to the door before that zombie caught up with me.
