It has taken a considerable amount of effort to turn a simple gear list into a full iOS app, so these actions help me a little by sharing content with a wider community. Thank you for your support.

Why use the ‘Back in Pack’ App?
The app originated from a desire to manage my pack contents for each of the trips that I take. As the trail and weather conditions, terrain and risk factors vary considerably, I required a simple way to build a pack list and assess function vs. risk for the trip. Ultimately with a desire to carry as little weight as possible to move faster and further.
What started as a simple list for myself has evolved and now provides functionality to support your backpacking journey through all four seasons.
