Gear Lists

Planning Your Hike · Updated 19 July 2026

The Gear tab holds one shared list for the hike — the master inventory of what the trip needs — while every hiker tracks their own status against it. The list is shared; whether you've packed the tent is yours.

Building The List

The hike owner and co-admins manage the list itself:

  • organise items into categories (Shelter, Cooking, Clothing, First aid…)
  • add items one by one, or use the gear wizard to bulk-add from curated preset lists and then prune to taste
  • optionally set an item's weight in grams

Your Packing Status

Every member marks their own status per item — Packed ✓, Considering ?, Not bringing ✗ and friends. You can see the whole pack's status at a glance, which is exactly how you catch that nobody is bringing a stove the night before the drive.

Tip: Status updates work offline — tick things off as you physically pack, even in the garage with no Wi-Fi, and it syncs when you're back online.

Changes to the list itself need a connection; only your personal status queue works offline.
