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
This backpacking group checklist covers the shared gear a small group splits between packs: the tent, the stove and fuel, a cook pot, water treatment, the first aid kit, the map and compass, and the trowel.
Sharing gear only works when everyone knows who's carrying what. Start the list, adjust the quantities for your group, and send the link. Each person claims the items they'll carry and sends back their updated link, so nothing gets packed twice and nothing gets left at the trailhead.
Each person still packs their own sleeping bag, pad, clothes, and food. This list is only for what you share. No account is needed: the list travels in the link, and your copy stays on your device.
