Worth knowing
- The shared-kit list is the one to do properly. Personal packing is easy to fix at a shop; nobody-brought-ice is the whole Friday night.
- One nice outfit, not three. Nobody on a weekend away has ever regretted packing light.
- Screenshot the bookings. The place with the bad signal is always the place you need them.
- Create the photo album before you leave, not on the way home.
Common questions.
How much should you pack for two nights?
One bag. An outfit per day plus one nicer one for the Saturday evening, layers for the evenings, and comfortable shoes. Anything you forget can be bought; anything you overpack you will carry.
What shared things do groups forget?
Ice, a speaker, a bottle opener, cards or a game, a multi-way charger, and food for the first night. The pattern is always the same: everyone brings wine and nobody brings the thing that makes the wine drinkable. Put a name next to each shared item before you leave.
Can I copy this list?
Yes — the Copy button gives you the whole thing as markdown with tick boxes, so it pastes into Notes or the group chat. Delete the lines that do not apply. Free, no account.
Is there a version the whole group can tick off together?
Kinora has a supplies list built for exactly this: list what is needed, guests claim items, and what is still unclaimed is visible to everyone. Free while the beta runs. This list works on its own if you would rather not.
A checklist that fills itself in.
Kinora keeps this list live for the whole group — every job shows who owns it, the date poll closes the date, the budget tracks who has paid. Free while the beta runs.
