How this works
- Your list stays on this deviceuntil you share it. There’s no account and no server copy.
- The link carries the whole list. It sits after the # in the link, and browsers never send that part to a server. Only the first names people type go in it.
- Send it, get it back.Each person opens the link, taps “I’ll bring it” on their items, and sends you their updated link. Open it (or use Merge a link) and Camp Share adds their claims to yours.
- When two copies disagree (a changed quantity, a removed item), you choose which to keep. Nothing merges silently, and you can undo a merge.
- Merging keeps every claim from both links. If someone dropped an item in their copy, their name comes back after a merge. Just remove it again.
- Changes aren't live — share the updated link.
- The printout’s QR code opens this page, not your list.

About this tool
Planning a group camping trip? Camp Share makes one list of the shared gear and food, and lets everyone claim what they’ll bring, so you don’t end up with three stoves and no water filter.
Start from a car camping, backpacking, or family weekend list, or start blank. Add or change items, then send the link to your group by text or email. Each person opens the list, taps “I’ll bring it” on their items, and sends back their updated link. Camp Share can merge two links, keeping every claim and pointing out anything two people changed differently.
There’s no account and no app to install. The list travels inside the link, and your copy is saved on your own device. Only first names go on the list, and only the ones you type. Changes aren’t live, so share the updated link after you edit. When it’s time to pack, print the whole list or just your items.
