Your gear. Every trip. One place.
Build your gear library
Add your gear once and reuse it for every hike. Organise items into groups and track both advertised weights and the actual weights from your scales.
Plan each trip
Choose the gear you need, set the number of nights, and build a packing list for your next adventure. Food, fuel and other consumables can scale with your trip length.
Know your pack weight
See your base weight, consumables, worn weight and total pack weight at a glance. Find the items and categories adding the most weight.
Find the weight you can lose
Switch individual items or entire groups on and off to see how much weight you could save. Try alternative gear without losing your original setup.
Compare your setups
Put two trips side by side to see what changed, what got lighter, and how many grams you saved.
Share your gear list
Send your hiking mates a read-only link to your trip. They can view your setup without creating an account, while your private notes stay private.
Pack with confidence
Use your packing checklist on your phone and tick items off as they go into your pack. Spend less time second-guessing and reduce the chance of leaving something behind.
Keep a record of every hike
Mark trips as complete and save the dates you walked them. Your finished trip keeps its original gear list and weights, even when you update your gear later.

Frequently asked questions
Is Pack n Hike free?
Yes. Pack n Hike is free to use, and all the features on this page are included.
What is base weight?
Base weight is the weight of your packed gear, excluding consumables such as food, water and fuel, as well as the clothing you’re wearing. It’s a useful way to compare your gear setup between trips.
Pack n Hike calculates your base weight and shows consumables and worn weight separately.
Can I import my LighterPack list?
Yes. Export your LighterPack list as a CSV and import it into Pack n Hike. You can also import your own spreadsheet.
Does Pack n Hike work on my phone?
Yes. Pack n Hike works in your browser on phones, tablets and computers. There’s nothing to install, and you can choose a light or dark theme and a compact view for longer lists.
Can I use kilograms or pounds?
Both. Choose grams and kilograms or ounces and pounds in your account settings. Switch between systems whenever you like without losing weight precision.
Who can see my gear lists?
Your gear lists are private by default. If you share a trip, anyone with the link can view its read-only version. Your name and private notes aren’t included, and you can disable the link whenever you like.
Can I export my data?
Yes. Export your gear as a CSV, individual trips as CSV or JSON, or download a full backup whenever you need it.
