GearGrams, Backpacking Weight Calculator

May 26th, 2009

GearGrams is a flex project I created after a visiting friend said he wanted an easy way to keep track of his gear weight for a long backpacking trip. Wanting to test out Panda, a framework I’ve been working on for a while, I put together GearGrams. Rather than explain the features here its easier to just check it out. The app explains itself and there is a nice help video to get you started when you first login.

    Is-it possible to add, by copy, a item from the search list result ? and change it ?
    thanks for this free site, i had a old software but it doesn’nt work in my Mac
    It’s great to have a community to compare and see products online

    Hi Coach,
    It looks like there is a bug. It should be possible to just drag an item from the search list to your library or one of your gear lists.
    I’ll try to find some time to fix it ASAP.

    Great program, Aaron! Will you be creating an iPhone version, by any chance?

  4. Aaron Spjut Said:

    I would really like to create an iPhone (and android) version. If I had the time I would completely rework the app and add a bunch of new features as well. Someday my day job will let up and I’ll get to spend time on side projects again… It may be a while though.

    Coach,
    The search bug you found has been fixed. The problem was that if an item had a custom category then it was not being saved. All is working as it should now.
