Build a checklist for your trip

Choose your trip and conditions to make a practical packing checklist you can tick and print. This is a planning aid rather than an assurance of safety; always check real weather, route, campsite and vehicle conditions.

THE RIGHT KIT FOR THE JOURNEY — NOT THE BIGGEST KIT

Build a personal trip & vehicle checklist

Answer a few practical questions, tick what you already own, then generate your own still needed / already covered / optional list. The result will appear straight after you press the button, and we'll take you to it. No prices or available stock are invented. No information is sent to Go Prepare or saved by the checklist.

01 What journey are you preparing for?

What is your approach to spending?

03 About the vehicle and route

What are you driving? Where will you mostly drive? Will you usually be working alone? Reliable charging and fuel stops on route?

04 What useful kit do you already own?

Tick things you have and have checked are suitable. The list changes with the trip. You can update each item in the detailed results too.

Don’t forget the most useful preparation costs nothing

Check where you’re going, conditions, permissions, weather, directions, transport, backup contacts, your own skills and what you already own before buying more gear.

Our approach: Check what you already own and buy ordinary supplies locally where practical. Specialist equipment should solve a genuine problem and be backed by specifications, not marketing.
