Pack Pal brings the food part of a backpacking trip into one clear plan.

The best part
comes after the planning.

A backpacking trip has plenty of moving parts. Food planning often means switching between meal ideas, daily totals, and a separate packing list.

Pack Pal is being built to bring those pieces together: plan trail days, choose meals, review daily calorie totals, and check your food as you pack.

It is an iPhone app from Talon 5 Labs, currently preparing for launch. The screens on this website show sample trips and meal data.

How it works

1. Add your trip info.

2. Pick meals and watch each day's calories add up.

3. Check items off your pack list.
