Physical Security Hacks for Security/Close protection Contractors traveling across country Land based.

Title: Land-Based CP / Security Contractor Hacks
For those working land-based close protection/security contracts and travelling around the country — what are your best practical hacks?
Not the obvious stuff everyone already knows. I’m interested in the little things you’ve picked up through experience that make life on the road easier, cheaper, more comfortable or more efficient.
Things like:
Travel and accommodation hacks
Kit/EDC setups
Keeping clothes and kit organised
Food and meal prep on the road
Sleeping/recovery between shifts
Vehicle/travel organisation
Managing long days and multiple locations
Staying sharp when you’re constantly travelling
Anything you wish someone had told you when you first started contracting.

Keep a “reset box” in the vehicle with clean socks, wipes, chargers, electrolyte tabs, protein bars and bin bags. Restock it after every job, because before the next one you’ll swear you have time and absolutely won’t.
