How it works

The generator starts with a core set of shelter, sleep, clothing, safety, and personal items. It then adds or removes gear based on the camping style, weather selection, and trip add-ons you choose.

Quantities use simple planning assumptions: daily water reminders scale by people and activity, meal items scale by nights and group size, and backpacking suggestions stay lighter than car-camping suggestions. The list rounds up to whole items where that is practical.

This is a planning aid, not a safety guarantee. Check local weather, fire restrictions, permit rules, food storage guidance, and site-specific requirements before departure.
