Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Ray, the maker of HikeLoad. I built this because I kept juggling spreadsheets, notes apps and GPX files every time I planned a multi-day hike - nothing tied it all together.
HikeLoad combines three things in one free tool: route planning day by day, a gear inventory with weight tracking, and food lists with calorie data that link directly to each day of your hike. It calculates your carry weight per day automatically - accounting for food you've already eaten on previous days.
You can share any hike via a public link (no account needed to view), and other hikers can leave comments and questions directly on your route.
Would love to hear how you plan your hikes today - spreadsheet survivors especially welcome. Happy to answer any questions!
