Two backpacking tents at sunset above the clouds in the Southern Cairngorms

Guide · July 2026

Your trip gear, ready to paste.

The packing list is already written. Now the useful part of a video description can be ready in a couple of clicks too.

I keep seeing the same useful block beneath outdoor videos: the tent, pack, quilt and wee bits of kit used on the trip, each followed by a link. It is helpful for viewers, but it is another list for the creator to rebuild after the packing list was already finished.

Choose what made the video

Open Share & export on an OutPack trip or pack you own, then choose Create a gear list. The linked equipment is selected for you, but you can pare it back to the few things that mattered: a shelter in bad weather, a new stove, or the sleep system you were testing.

It works on private trips and packs too. Exporting does not publish them or change their visibility, and gear marked private is always left out.

Copy, then carry on editing

OutPack gives you a plain-text preview with item names, product links and, when the trip or pack is publicly shareable, its OutPack link. If links earn commission, turn on the affiliate disclosure and the copied list adds one disclosure at the bottom. OutPack does not create or alter affiliate links; it uses the URL saved with your item.

Copy the block into YouTube, a newsletter or a post, then add your own story around it. The aim is simply to remove a dull bit of duplication and leave you more time for the video.

I hope it saves you a few minutes after the next trip.
