Don’t let the epidemic disturb your mood. What preparations should you make for a self-driving trip?

Seeing that the domestic epidemic prevention and control continues to develop for the better, I thought that my "wilderness survival" plan could be put on the agenda. However, as Beijing's prevention and control level rose, this trip was once again shelved. However, since we can't leave Beijing, it's a good time to explore the "line of sky" in Mentougou and have an easy escape with our new friend Dongfeng Honda UR-V? 2.0T Zunya Edition.

Comfortable travel is inseparable from a "seamless" plan

We all know that traveling on weekends is not like holidays, and there are many queues of cars on the main roads. Although you can pass the Honda UR The Amap navigation system installed on the 8-inch center console on the -V provides the best travel routes, but in order to travel more comfortably, you still need to plan in advance, especially during this special period.

Before setting off, I checked the navigation. From the car in Changping to the first line of Longmengou in Mentougou, the whole journey is only 95.4 kilometers. However, since this road is mostly mountain roads and county roads, so It takes more than 2 hours to drive.

Having said this, some people may ask why I chose to go there. In fact, the first reason is that I am curious, is it really as beautiful there as in the photos? Secondly, it is a low-risk area (I checked it on the Internet). However, when we were about to reach our destination, we were stopped by the epidemic prevention checkpoint and refused to let us pass. "I just received a notice that the road behind is closed." So we were forced to find another place. Fortunately, we found a place with a pretty good environment. By the river, there is this place below. Alas... plans can't keep up with the changes!

Beyond the "epidemic" but not love, necessary equipment is indispensable when going out

As the saying goes, "bring dry food when you are full, and clothes when you are hot", you must bring some equipment when you go out, such as food , medicines, and disinfectants cannot be left behind. After all, the epidemic is not over yet, so we cannot relax. The Dongfeng Honda UR-V has a luggage compartment space of 510L under normal conditions. After putting down the tent, picnic mat, picnic food and personal belongings used for this trip, it only takes up one-third of the space, so it is not a problem to cope with weekend outings. .

The car also supports the rear seats to be folded down to further expand the luggage compartment volume, but the seats cannot be folded flat, which is a bit embarrassing. In addition, the newly added kick-type sensor tailgate can free up both hands, making it easier to carry heavier items. From this point of view, it is quite user-friendly.

As for equipment, friends who are familiar with us may know that outdoor knives, headlamps, and bright lights are all standard equipment for our outdoor trips. Of course, there are also tools for changing tires such as jacks, as well as reflective vests that are used at night.

Good car condition is the key to ensuring uninterrupted travel

Whether it is a weekend trip or a long-distance trip during holidays, after having plans and equipment, we should also experience the car. , this is a very important step in self-driving travel. The tire inspection should not only check the wear and tear to avoid a tire blowout at high speed, but also check the tire pressure from time to time. It is best to use a tire pressure gauge to check it actually like me, although UR- V has a tire pressure alarm function, but it is often used in old car circles, so the mechanical one is more intuitive. In addition, glass water is often used during self-driving, so the liquid level should be checked before departure, and if there is a loss, it should be refilled in time.

Writing to the end:

Although affected by the epidemic, I do not recommend that everyone travel by car, but living in a tense city for a long time often makes the body and mind a little depressed, so you might as well come at the right time. A trip to escape the crowds starts with protecting yourself, wearing a mask, washing your hands frequently, paying attention to food hygiene, and trying not to eat in restaurants. Comply with local regulations, accept safety inspections, have your temperature taken, avoid gathering in groups, and be fully prepared for travel during the epidemic prevention and control period.
