Selected gear-mass subtotal
Add three recorded masses in grams. This is a partial inventory unless you have deliberately included everything.
Sum of entered grams, converted to kilograms. No safe-load limit, complete kit or adequate food/water quantity is determined.Recorded distance and duration
Describe a completed observation using distance and elapsed time. Do not use this as a route-time forecast or safe walking pace.
Distance ÷ total elapsed hours; total elapsed minutes ÷ distance. Terrain, stops, conditions and measurement quality affect the record. No arrival time or trip suitability is predicted.Hiking-gear purchase scenario
Enter your own current quotes for four categories and a chosen contingency. Leave no field blank; enter zero where the purchase scope excludes a category.
Four quoted amounts added, then multiplied by 1 + contingency/100. Not current market prices; excludes any costs you have not entered. A low budget does not establish a complete kit.
