Hey everyone! I started acorn with one mission in mind, to help you plan less and get out more. Planning a backpacking trip can be a cumbersome task. Generally you need to figure out how many days and nights you’re going for, how much food to pack for the people going, if any one has dietary restrictions, and this is before you’ve boughten anything! While you're at the store you run up and down each aisle to find the exact products that are on your list, but the issue with grocery stores is that you may not need an entire loaf of bread or 8 packets of oatmeal. If this isn't your first trip then you probably have leftovers from your last trip that you'll be trying to use. Keeping track of this can be challenging. After going through this process many times, it was time to create a solution. Say hello to Acorn.

Wonderful idea, Alex. Meal planning is definitely a time consuming and expensive annoyance that gets in the way of backpacking more frequently. Planning my next trip now!
