Packing Essentials

Hi ProductHunt! I'm thrilled to finally be able to show my first travel tool to you all! My name is Edan, and I'm the founder of PackingEssentials.com, aspiring entrepreneur, web developer and (when the muse hits), writer. I conceptualized the idea of http://packingessentials.com on the flight home from a ski trip a few years ago. I had forgotten to bring my waterproof ski pants and had to spring around $150 to buy a new pair at the ski resort - an expensive mistake. I wished I had created a packing list before my trip so I wouldn't forget anything, and wondered why there wasn't a good website that allowed me to do that. That's how the idea of Packing Essentials came about. PackingEssentials.com is basically a simple, smart packing list generator for travelers. With a few quick questions about your trip, the system will attempt to "guess" at the best trip settings using data such as weather forecasts for your trip's dates, statistical data from previous packers, and smart guesses. The resulting packing list will include everything you'll need to bring on your trip (for example, if it's going to be raining at your destination on the dates specified, it will suggest an umbrella, or if you're going to a popular ski resort, it will suggest ski pants, thermal clothing, etc). It will even suggest ways to prepare for your trip, such as cleaning out the fridge for longer tips and storing photographs on your phone of important documents such as your passport and flight tickets. The packing list is totally customizable, can be stored for later use (you'll need to create an account to be able to store your packing lists), and can be used on all devices, including desktop, tablet, and mobile. I'd love to hear your thoughts, Edan PS you can follow my journey at @packinglists or https://www.facebook.com/packing...
