FAMILY PREPAREDNESS GUIDES
Camping Trip Planner & Journal
Camping Trip Planner & Journal
One 8-page PDF that carries a trip from the kitchen table to the fire pit and back. Start on the trip snapshot page, where the dates, the campsite details, and who's actually coming get pinned down before anyone touches a duffel bag. From there it moves into a two-stage countdown checklist and a packing list split by category, so two people can work from the same page without bumping into each other. A combined page handles three days of meals and the campsite setup — tent placement, fire pit distance, where the food gets stored — so that part doesn't get sorted out by guesswork after dark. A quick-reference page covers fire building, reading the sky, and basic first aid for the moments a phone signal won't help. The last two pages are a journal spread meant to be photocopied once per night, plus a wrap-up page for rating the trip and noting what to bring differently next time. Fill it out with a pen, or open the file in a notes app and write on the lines with a stylus or your finger.

WHO IT'S FOR
For whoever ends up planning the trip.
Usually one person in the group is holding the packing list, the meal plan, and the campsite confirmation number. This is built for that person, not for the group chat.
First-Time Campers
The checklist spells out gear by category instead of assuming you already know what a rainfly is or why it matters.
Family Campground Trips
A three-day meal grid and a spot to note which snacks disappeared first, so next time's grocery list gets a little smarter.
Weekend Regulars
The same packing list works trip after trip — print it once, wipe the boxes clean, and Friday night stops being a re-planning session.
Multi-Night & Backcountry Trips
A countdown checklist for the week before, plus a journal spread built to be copied once for every night on the trail.
WHAT'S INSIDE
Everything on eight pages.
One PDF file. Nothing to unzip, nothing to assemble.
Trip Snapshot & Countdown
Dates, destination, site type, who's coming, and a two-week-to-day-of checklist so nothing gets packed at the last minute by accident.
Master Packing Checklist
Shelter, kitchen, fire, clothing, and first aid, grouped so it can be split between two people packing the same car.
Trip Journal
One spread designed to be photocopied for each night of the trip: weather, wildlife spotted, what got cooked, and a rating for the day.
Food & Campsite Setup
A grid for three days of meals, a grocery checklist, and a short list for pitching a tent somewhere that isn't the lowest, wettest spot on the site.
Quick-Reference Guide
Fire-building steps, reading the sky, one knot worth knowing, basic first aid, and a blank line for the ranger station's number.
Trip Wrap-Up
What worked, what to pack differently, gear that earned its weight, and space for the next trip's ideas while they're still fresh.

Reuse It Every Trip
Print a fresh packing checklist and journal spread for the next trip; the rest of the file doesn't need to change.
Fill out the packing checklist in pencil the first time, then erase it clean before the next trip. One printed sheet can last a whole camping season instead of a single weekend.
Look at an actual page before you buy.
The image here is the actual Trip Snapshot and Pre-Trip Countdown page, exported straight from the file at the same margins and line spacing it prints at — not a rendering, not a screenshot dressed up for the page. Fields for the trip name, dates, site type, weather outlook, and permit number sit above a four-row table for who's coming and their emergency contacts. Below that, the countdown splits into two columns — what to handle one to two weeks out, and what's left for the day before or day of. Open it at full size, print it on whatever's in the tray, and see how much room the fields actually give you before deciding whether the layout fits how your household plans a trip.
