The packing list and gear management app built for backpackers and ultralight hikers.
Build a comprehensive gear inventory with detailed specs for every item — weight, brand, product, price, and category. Your inventory is always at your fingertips when building packing lists.
Track the condition of every item from day one. Packstack calculates a replacement score based on age, expected lifespan, and current condition — so you always know which gear is trail-ready and which is due for an upgrade.
Ditch the spreadsheets. Drag items from your inventory, organize by category, and fine-tune quantities — all in a clean, purpose-built interface. Create multiple packs per trip for base camp and day hike setups.
Instantly see how your weight is distributed across categories. Packstack separates base weight, worn weight, and consumables so you always know exactly what your pack weighs on the trail.
Capture everything about your trip — location, dates, distance, daily elevation gain, terrain type, pace, and expected temperatures. These details power the calorie calculator so your food plan matches the trail ahead.
Create hiker profiles with your weight, height, age, sex, and body type. Assign a profile to any pack — perfect for couples or groups. Your stats feed directly into the calorie calculator for personalized daily estimates.
Packstack estimates your daily calorie needs based on your body stats, pack weight, trail distance, elevation gain, terrain, pace, and temperature. See a full breakdown with macros, food weight, water needs, and trip totals.
Group the items you always carry together into reusable kits — a first aid kit, cook system, or shelter setup. When building a packing list, load an entire kit with one click and every item lands in your pack with the right quantities.
Generate a shareable link for any trip and send it to friends, post it on Reddit, or embed it in your trail journal. Recipients see a clean, read-only view of your complete packing list with weight breakdowns included.
