A repeatable way to stay organized
Reuse the list from one trip to the next.
Keep the essentials that repeat, add what is unique to this campsite, and check gear off as it reaches the car.
Share before packing
Use list sharing in the mobile app so the people packing can add missing gear and see the same checklist.
Check off at the car
Mark the tent, cooler, and gear as they actually reach the car, rather than when you remember to pack them.
Keep it for next time
Keep the items after the trip. Uncheck them for your next departure and revise the list as you learn what you use.
