Best Cyber Monday Deals on Travel Accessories

When traveling — just like in Boy Scouts — it’s important to be prepared. Sure, being able to say you’ve scaled Kilimanjaro or dived with great white sharks (and Instagrammed it) is great, but in order to do those things, you’re going to need to do some traveling. And to do some traveling, you’re going to need to be prepared.

The could mean a lot of different things. If you’re out on a boat with your buddies, you’re probably going to want some sweet tunes to go with what is surely ample amounts of beer (and maybe even some fishing). If you’ve got three layovers and 20 hours of plane travel, you’re going to need a bag that is light but still has plenty of room for everything from a spare pair of boxers to enough gum and deodorant to keep you from being the most-hated person on the plane.
