The emergency, travel and outdoor tools help you prepare for trips and the unexpected. For emergencies, calculate how much food and water your household needs for a number of days, simulate how long a power bank or portable power station will last during an outage and use a grab-bag checklist.
For travel, build a packing list from destination, length, season and purpose and put together a printable itinerary with schedule, packing and emergency contacts.
For the outdoors, create a hike plan with members, route, gear and an escape route, merge, split and thin GPX tracks and summarize distance, elevation gain and pace, check sunrise and sunset and day length and use your phone as a compass. A heat index estimate helps with heat safety. Numbers are guides, so check up-to-date official information too.
