Don't forget the spoon was initially thought up in Yosemite National Park, sitting in the cold near Half Dome and Clouds rest one chilly February night. My wife and I forgot to packs spoons and we were trying to eat dinner in outside our tent in the cold snow!

I’m just getting into backpacking. Awesome unique app, thank you!!

After using a couple of other apps and websites, I knew there had to be something out there better, and I stumbled on DFTS. It’s simple and intuitive to use; the tiles at the top are so useful and helpful for finding deficiencies in your pack. Bravo.

This is great for dialing in my pack list, finding and zapping those extra ounces lurking unnoticed. As I age, I’ve lost a bit in my ability to carry heavy packs, as well as my ability to remember all my gear. This app helps in both regards. I hope for a few more years of backpacking to the high elevations that have the flyfishing of my dreams.
