Shared Camping Packing List
for the Whole Group
Every group camping trip ends with two stoves, three coolers and no lighter. Share one packing list in the trip chat instead. It opens grouped by Shelter, Camp kitchen, Clothes and Safety, everyone ticks what they have packed, and a sign-up sheet puts a name next to each piece of shared gear.
From empty list to packed car
The template opens with tent, sleeping pads, stove and fuel, cooler, rain jacket, first aid kit and headlamps under four sections. Delete what you do not need and type in what you do.
The card shows the sections and how much is ticked. Pick the Board layout and each section becomes its own tile, so the empty Safety tile stands out.
Tap a row to tick it; tap again to untick. Anyone with the link can add the thing you forgot, and the next person to open the list sees it.
Personal gear on a list, shared gear on a sheet
A tick on a list does not say who packed it. For the stove, the tarp and the water filter, use a Sheet with a sign-up column: each item shows who is bringing it, and blanks show as Open.
The list is a web page, so ticking needs a signal. Pack the night before with the list open and the car is loaded before anyone loses service.
Half the group on iPhone, half on Android, one cousin on a tablet: the link opens the same way for all of them, with no app or account.
Car camping, backpacking or a whole campground
Start from the camping list and add what your trip needs.
The camping list in the Board layout: Shelter, Camp kitchen, Clothes and Safety as tiles, each with its own count.
Start a camping boardA Sheet on the Slots template: one row per shared item, a name in the sign-up column, a note for its weight. Nobody carries two stoves up the trail.
Start a gear sign-upA Note with the site number, check-in time, the fire rules and the gate code, set as headings and checklists, readable at a glance in the car.
Start a trip noteA Split keeps who paid for the site, the firewood and the food, and works out who pays whom to square up after the trip.
