Packing for camp
Kit lists are what parents and young people bring. Group store kit is different: plan tents and burners on the event, see whether you have space for everyone attending, weigh the trailer before you load it, then check the kit out when you leave.
Watch this on its own pageSet sleeps on each tent
On an equipment item whose name or category looks like a tent, add Sleeps per tent: how many people that one tent holds. Weight per item stays optional on the same form.
Adding inventory, tags and scanning are in Tracking equipment. Sleeps and weight are just extra fields on that same form.
Open the event's Equipment tab
On the camp event, open Equipment, not Kit list. Kit list stays for personal packing. This tab is for group store kit: attending headcount, tent capacity, and weight by container.
Plan equipment for the camp
Plan equipment opens a checkout for this event, already marked planned and dated to the camp. Pick tents, burners and cool boxes, and tag each line with a Container: Trailer, Minibus, and so on.
Check capacity and trailer weight
Back on the event you get Tent capacity: space for N against who's attending, plus Weight by container so you know what the trailer actually weighs before anyone starts loading.
Check out when you load up
Check out planned kit turns every planned line into an active checkout, the same moment you load the trailer. Edit individual lines from the plan list if something changes.
Setting up the camp itself (signups, capacity and payments) is in Running an event.
