What is the difference between Gear, Packs, and Trips?
Gear is your equipment library. Packs are reusable groups of that equipment. Trips bring your destination, dates, attached packs, and packing checklist together for a specific outing.
Can I use my own gear instead of starter items?
Yes. Add your own equipment to your library, or browse starter gear and adapt it to your kit. Review weights and quantities against the equipment you actually own.
Can I reuse a pack for different trips?
Yes. Create a pack for a day hike, an overnight, or another recurring setup, then attach it to a trip and review the checklist for that outing’s conditions.
