Pack less. Forget less.

A flexible weekend checklist you can tick as you go or print before leaving. Add your own activity-specific items separately.

Your weekend packing list

Only what you need.

This list is a starting point. Adjust it for children, medication, weather and any specialist activities; never rely on a generic checklist for remote or hazardous travel.
