Before you go

Open each saved file to make sure it is available offline. For the trip plan, download the PDF, fill it in using a PDF reader, save your changes and share the saved copy with your trusted contact.

When plans change

Update your trusted contact when you can, and let them know when you return. Check current conditions for every outing; a saved checklist cannot tell you whether a route is suitable today.
