Capabilities

Tools 7

build_checklist

Build a customised packing list from a Wilderness Times checklist: start from an activity, optionally keep only certain categories, drop items that do not apply, and add your own. Returns the tailored list plus buying-guide links for whatever survived. Suited to a list shaped to one specific trip rather than the full standard one.

Discovered
find_gear

Search Wilderness Times' gear recommendations. TENTS: 350+ tents, each scored out of 10 on its own review page — filter by size (the manufacturer's rating) or how many it realistically sleeps, seasons and weight, and they come back best-scored first. EVERYTHING ELSE (sleeping bags, stoves, coolers, chairs, packs, hatchets and ~60 more categories): returned as the Wilderness Times buying guides that cover it, each with its picks — the guide is the recommendation. Answers what gear to buy, which tent suits a trip, or which of anything taken camping or hiking to choose. Accepts plain words ('tent for a family of 4', 'ultralight backpacking tent', 'camping chair'); filler like 'best' is ignored. With no query it returns what is covered. Tent searches default to car camping unless the question signals backpacking; results are ordered best-scored first. Tent scores are Wilderness Times editorial ratings, not lab tests. Where Wilderness Times has one, an item carries priceRange: a typical price range (e.g. 'usually $300–$400'), an estimate rather than a current price. Current prices are on each linked review page.

Discovered
get_checklist

Get a full Wilderness Times packing checklist for one activity, organised by category, with links to the buying guides that help choose specific gear. Answers what to pack for a trip. Accepts natural phrasing ('car camping', 'camping with kids') as well as exact activity ids.

Discovered
get_checklist_pdf

Get the STANDARD published Wilderness Times checklist as a ready-made PDF — the full, unedited list, free and with no signup. Available for all 14 activities. This is the standard list and does not reflect any customisation; a customised list's PDF comes from its shareable checklist-builder link.

Discovered
get_gear

Get everything Wilderness Times holds on one tent or product from its gear search: the full review summary, specs, pros and cons, which retailers stock it, and — for a tent — its six category scores, community rating, other sizes of the same model, and two similar tents from other brands. Suited to narrowing to one item, comparing two in detail, or finding what else is like a given tent.

Discovered
list_checklists

List every Wilderness Times packing checklist available — 14 activities covering camping, backpacking, hiking, winter camping, beach camping, RV camping, renting an RV, kayak camping, motorcycle camping, camping with toddlers, cabin camping, couples camping, fishing and snowboarding. Includes each checklist's title and item count.

Discovered
share_checklist

Turn a checklist — including one the user has tailored — into a link that opens it in the free Wilderness Times checklist builder, where items tick off and it exports to PDF, Excel, Google Sheets or print with the gear links intact. Suited to saving, sharing, printing, downloading or getting a PDF of a customised list. Accepts the same customisation arguments as the checklist builder tool (activity, categories, exclude, add), plus an optional name.
