Know your base weight before you hit the trail
Stop guessing. Start tracking. MyPacks helps you catalog every piece of gear, build trip-specific packing lists, and shave pounds off your pack — so your knees thank you on day 5.
Sound familiar?
Every hiker has been here. We built MyPacks because we were tired of it too.
"I have no idea what my pack weighs"
You've got gear everywhere — closet, garage, bins. But you couldn't tell someone your base weight if they asked.
"I always forget something"
Reached camp and realized you left your stakes at home? Spreadsheets and memory don't cut it.
"What gear do other hikers use?"
You want to compare setups, see what works for similar trips, but there's no easy way to browse real loadouts.
Your entire kit, organized
From your big three to your toothbrush — track it all, build lists, and share with the community.
Automatic weight tracking
Add your gear once with weight, brand, and category. MyPacks calculates your base weight, worn weight, and consumables automatically.
- Supports grams, oz, kg, and lbs
- Mark items as worn or consumable
- See weight breakdown by category
Trip-specific packing lists
Build different lists for different trips — day hikes, overnights, thru-hikes. Add custom items like food and water on top of your gear.
- Pull from your gear library
- Add trip-specific items (food, water, maps)
- Duplicate and tweak for new trips
Share your loadouts
Make your lists public and share them with friends, trail buddies, or the r/ultralight community. Get inspired by what others are carrying.
- One-click public/private toggle
- Shareable links for any list
- Duplicate others' lists to customize

From heavy to light
When you can see exactly where your weight is, cutting it becomes obvious.
What hikers are saying
"I shaved 2.5 lbs off my base weight just by actually seeing where the weight was. Turns out I had 3 different repair kits 'just in case'. MyPacks made it obvious."
"I used to make a new spreadsheet for every trip. Now I just duplicate my base list and tweak it. Planning a trip takes 10 minutes instead of an hour."
"The sharing feature is clutch. I was able to send my buddy my exact JMT list and he duplicated it as his starting point. Way easier than texting screenshots."
