How it works

Start your blank list

One click creates your own private, editable copy. It opens instantly — no signup, no download.

Add your items

Type them in, paste a whole list at once, or add as you go. Check things off with a satisfying tap.

Share the link

Send the edit link to collaborate or the view-only link to share. Changes sync live on every device.

Make it work for you

Tell someone your plan

Trailhead, route, expected return. It’s the single most important safety item and it weighs nothing.

Pack the ten essentials

Navigation, light, sun protection, first aid, knife, fire, shelter, food, water, clothes. Every hike, every time.

Break in boots beforehand

New boots on a long hike is a blister guarantee. Wear them around town for a week first.

Frequently asked questions

Do I really need all this for a short day hike?

Yes — most hiking emergencies happen on "easy" trails close to home. The essentials fit in a small daypack.

Can two people edit the same list at once?

Yes. Changes sync within a few seconds, so collaborators see each other’s edits without refreshing the page.

Do I need an account to use this list?

No. Every list works without signup — open the link and start adding items. There are no accounts at all.
