FAQ
What should I pack for a weekend of dispersed camping?
Focus on shelter, sleep, water, food, waste/pack-out, navigation, safety, vehicle readiness, and a fire decision only if allowed. This list organizes those categories for 1–2 nights on public land.
Is this only for California?
No. The packing system works for Western public-land trips generally. Always verify local district rules.
Does it include campsite coordinates?
No. Frontier Merc does not sell GPS dumps.
How is this different from the free checklist?
The free checklist covers first-night decisions. This product is a fuller weekend packing list plus trip log.
