What’s in Your Trip Kit? 13 Things to Bring on a Psychedelic Adventure (and 3 to Leave at Home)
A slightly absurd, mostly useful packing list for your next magical mushroom moment.
You’re about to rocket into the cosmos, armed with nothing but a few grams of fungus and a sense of curiosity. Great. But before you go chasing the divine in a forest or flopping into a bean bag to become one with the ceiling, let’s pack your bag like a responsible psychonaut. Think of this as your mushroom mission checklist—with just a splash of Kurt Vonnegut.
Because, as Mr. Vonnegut might say, “Unpack your metaphors, but pack snacks.”
13 Things to Bring:
1. Water Bottle
Hydration is the backbone of sanity. Bring one. Preferably not shaped like a skull.
2. Cozy Blanket or Shawl
It’s not just warmth—it’s a cape, a security system, and your new best friend.
3. Journal and Pen
To record earth-shattering truths like “Time is a lasagna” and “Bees have good vibes.”
4. Sunglasses
Not just for the sun. They also make awkward eye contact with the outside world slightly more optional.
5. Playlist or Speaker
Don’t wing it. Prep it with something chill and interesting. Check out some of our favorite mushroom tunes here!
6. Snacks with Texture
Juicy fruit, crunchy chips, something soft and doughy. Eating is a sensory event now. Check out some of our favorite recipes for microdosing here!
7. A Grounding Object
Like a favorite rock, a lucky coin, or a photo of your dog. Something to remind you who you are. Maybe leave the forever spinning top at home tho.
8. Tissues
For tears. Of joy, awe, or that time you laughed so hard at a mushroom that you cried.
9. Comfy Shoes
Because walking barefoot through a mystical landscape is poetic until you step on a pinecone.
10. A Buddy
Preferably one who knows CPR, your middle name, and when to shut up.
11. Bug Spray
Because no one wants to come back from ego death with 42 mosquito bites.
12. Flashlight or Headlamp
Mysticism is cool. Tripping over a root and breaking your nose is not.
13. Consent & Communication Tools
Pre-trip convos about boundaries and comfort zones are sexier than you think.
3 Things to Leave at Home:
1. Existential Dread
Trust us, it’ll find you if it needs to. No need to pack it.
2. Your Phone (mostly just social media apps)
Nothing kills the vibe like doomscrolling during a divine revelation or posting pics of your friends with infinite pupils.
3. A Jam-Packed Schedule
The mushrooms don’t care that you have dinner plans. Let time melt like the illusion it is.
Final Thoughts:
Packing for a psychedelic trip is like preparing for a sleepover with the universe. Bring what helps you feel safe, grounded, and curious—but leave behind the noise, the stress, and anything with a deadline.
And remember: all moments are picnic-worthy if you’re wearing the right socks.
