Outdoors calculators
Hiking, camping, and weather math.
-
Backpacking Pack Weight Calculator
Enter the gear, food, water, and consumables you expect at the start of your heaviest leg. The calculator shows that departure weight, the full-trip food total, and how many food days fit your own comparison target.
-
Backpacking Stove Fuel Calculator
Enter your trip length, daily hot-water need, measured stove fuel use, and any usable fuel already on hand. The calculator estimates the fuel to plan for, how many new canisters to add, and how much fuel should be left after the trip.
-
Camping Propane Runtime Calculator
Enter your actual propane weight, appliance BTU ratings, daily burner time, and reserve. The calculator estimates daily propane use, runtime, trip fuel margin, and how much propane to start with.
-
Forestry Clinometer Tree Height Calculator
Enter the distance to the trunk, the top and base readings, and the clinometer scale. The calculator corrects slope distance, estimates a conservative height range, and can compute live crown ratio from a crown-base reading.
-
Forestry Prism Cruise & Basal Area Calculator
Enter variable-radius plot tallies by DBH class to estimate stand basal area, trees per acre, quadratic mean diameter, and spacing. The borderline tree section applies the selected BAF, slope, and distance reference to return an in-or-out call.
-
Hike Turnaround Time Calculator
Enter your one-way trail distance, outbound climbing and descending, walking speed, breaks, and deadline. The calculator estimates the latest safe turnaround point and whether the planned destination still fits.
-
Personalized Hiking Time Calculator
Use a completed hike to calibrate a Naismith–Langmuir estimate for a planned route. The result separates moving time, expected stops, and an optional planning buffer.
-
Topographic Map Slope & Grade Calculator
Use the map scale, measured map distance, contour interval, and interval count to estimate grade and slope angle between two points. The calculator also works backward from a target grade to show how much map spacing that climb would need.
-
Whitetail Deer Score Calculator
Enter the score-sheet measurements for a whitetail rack to estimate the gross typical frame, deductions, and selected typical or non-typical score.
-
Wind Chill & Frostbite Time Calculator
Enter the forecast temperature, sustained wind, gust, and planned time outside. The calculator applies the NWS wind chill method to both winds and compares the colder result with exposed-skin frostbite chart bands.
