FAQ
- How do these checklists stay useful across trip types?
- Every list is broken into functional systems (shelter, sleep, water, insulation, safety) rather than a random dump. Substitute items freely inside each system — the goal is that no system is missing when you leave the trailhead.
- Can I embed or republish these lists?
- Yes. Link back to the specific trip URL on wild10.com so readers get the live, updated version. Each list has a last-reviewed date at the bottom of the page.
- Where's the pediatric / kids-specific list?
- Kids gear varies too much by age to bake into a generic list — but the Trip Planner on Wild10 generates a kid-tuned packing sheet by age when you build a family trip.
- Do check marks save?
- Yes — locally in your browser. Clearing site data or opening on a different device will reset them. Nothing is uploaded to Wild10.
