Overnight pack planner

Make your checklist, split shared gear, and work out how much each pack weighs and what you’ll spend.

HOW THIS WORKS

Plan the pack. Check the trip separately.

Start with an example or add your own gear. Enter each line’s combined weight and full trip price. Blank fields are treated as unknown; enter zero if the amount really is zero. Assign shared items only once, to the person who will carry them. Plans are stored in this browser when possible. Download a plan file to keep a backup or open it in the planner on another device.

The planner totals your entries. It doesn’t verify equipment suitability or tell you whether a route is safe. Check conditions and rules with the land manager.
