If you happen to stumble across this site please remember that it is still at the early alpha stage of development. Its not production ready, many things are not yet implemented and there are plenty of bugs!
Hey there! I'm Richard, the creator of HikeLite. As an avid backpacker with years of experience under my belt (literally!), I've always relied on scraps of paper or online apps to keep track of my gear and weight.
Let me tell you, there are some amazing online tools out there! I've tried most of them myself. But as I get older and focus more on reducing my pack weight, I realized that none of the existing solutions quite fit what I needed. So, I decided to create something for myself - not because anyone else was asking (although if you find it useful, that's awesome too!)
Keep track of all your gear without losing your mind (or your tent stakes). Add details like weight, brand, whatever floats your pack. You can sort everything into categories so it’s not just one big gear pile.
Forget the copy-paste chaos. Quickly build packing lists by grabbing stuff from your inventory. Try out different setups without unpacking your whole living room floor.
Wondering why your pack feels like a small boulder? Get a clear breakdown of where the weight’s coming from—by category—so you can trim the fat (or at least know what’s weighing you down).
Need to show off your ultralight setup or coordinate with a hiking buddy? Every list has a downloadable PDF link you can send to whoever — no public posting required.
