Smart Packing Checklist

A personalized packing list for multi-day hikes — built around your trip style, season and needs.

Am I forgetting something — or carrying too much? Both questions come from the same place: a list written for somebody else's trip. This checklist starts from yours.

Choose your trip style, the season, and whether to include female-specific items. You get a categorized list you can tick off as you pack, with a running count of what is still in the pile.

Matched to your trip

Full backpacking, hut-to-hut or luggage forwarding — the list changes with how you actually travel.

Season aware

Summer, winter or all-season. Items appear and disappear so you are not reading past things you do not need.

The things people forget

Including gender-specific items that most generic lists quietly leave out.

Nothing stored

Tick items off as you pack. Your list stays in your browser — we keep no copy.
