Know what your pack weighs before you lift it

Pick gear from your catalog, add food and water for the heaviest stretch, and see the total against your target and your transport's limit.

Your trip, without reception

Save the trip to your phone. Days, stays, travel, shopping list and checklist open without signal, and your ticks sync when you are back online.
