Don’t risk losing your hard work.
With Backpacking List, you can back up everything — gear items, trip lists, and notes — and export to JSON or CSV for safekeeping.

A PNG is just one format for easy image sharing. If you look more in depth on our website or in the App Store you will see that our app allows you to export CSV spreadsheets as well as backups in JSON format. Hope that clears up the confusion. Exporting and backing up is actually the following card.

With Backpacking List, you can export a clean PNG of your gear list to print, send, or share with your hiking buddies.

Our heaviest item we wish could be lighter is the original Helinox One chair coming in at 2 pounds and since there's nothing wrong with it, why replace it with a newer one that's a pound lighter until it's necessary..?

Every ounce counts in the backcountry.
With Backpacking List, you can break down your pack weight by category.

For us, we always make sure our Garmin InReach Mini is 💯 charged and next to our car keys before we leave the house.

Packing last-minute is stressful.
That’s why Backpacking List sends custom reminders before your trip.

There is def a difference between “expired” and “best-by”. It’s good the older beef jerky didn’t cause gut issues while out on the trail. I had a buddy of mine wake up vomiting at 2am from who knows what and he struggled to hike out the following day. And yes, good rule of thumb, eat oldest first!

Luckily expired food is not something we've experienced in the last 25+ years out on the trail, but we've had friends it's happened to.
Usually not backpacker meals since they have such a long duration, but it can happen with those too.

Expired meals = ruined trips.

Cell service drops fast in the backcountry… but your packing list doesn’t have to.
