What is HikeLoad?
HikeLoad is a free web app for hikers and backpackers who want to plan smarter. Instead of juggling spreadsheets, it brings three essential planning tools together in one place:
Gear Planner - Build your gear list with weight tracking and load distribution. See exactly where your pack weight comes from and optimize for a lighter carry.
Food Planner - Plan your trail food with per-item weight and calorie tracking, linked directly to your hike days.
Route / Hike Planner - Plan your route day by day, upload GPX tracks, and add accommodation notes.
All three tools are connected - your gear and food lists tie into specific hike days, giving you a complete picture of any trip before you leave. Free signup required. Built for hikers, by hikers.
