The trail forks.
You don't have to guess.
Out of Range is the pocket handbook for the moment you're on your own out there — adaptive packing lists, knots you learn by feel, plant look-alikes you actually verify, and a compass that gets you home.
Everything a route demands, nothing it doesn't
Tell the app about your trip and it tunes every tab — packing, food, water, gas, even which knots show up first.
Adaptive Packing
Describe the trip — forest trek, mountain route, winter weekend, canoe run — plus who's coming and for how long. Swipe items into your bag and watch it fill.
Trace the Rope
Ten essential knots, from the bowline to the prusik. Drag the glowing end loop by loop, over and under, then pull outward and feel it cinch — with a stopwatch for your best time.
Deadly Twins
Wild garlic or lily of the valley? Bilberry or nightshade? Slide the divider between look-alikes and tick off every sign before anything is called edible.
The Way Back
Turn the ring to your bearing and follow it home. No compass? Use your watch and the sun, a stick and its shadow, or the pointer stars to Polaris.
Food, Water, Gas
Calories for every adult, teen and child, grams per meal, litres for the longest dry stretch, and how many gas canisters to bring — packs get lighter every morning.
Your Trail Log
A calendar of knots practised, plants spotted, saved walks to retrace, and past trips with what you left behind — so it makes the bag next time.
Set a bearing. Mark the turn.
This is the same logic behind The Way Back: rotate the ring until your bearing lines up with the fixed marker, then log the turn the way you would on an actual dead-reckoning leg back to camp.
Drag anywhere on the dial with your mouse or finger. The readout updates live, and every marked turn drops into the little trail log on the right — exactly how the real app keeps score of the walk you're retracing.
On the trail: your steps and direction add up to a straight line home. No signal required.
Dead-Reckoning Log
- No turns marked yet — rotate the dial and mark one.
About Us
Privacy Policy
Effective Date: March 1, 2026
Out of Range: Hiking Guide is built to work where signal doesn't reach — which means it's built to work without ever needing your data. This policy explains, plainly, what that means in practice.
Information We Collect
We collect nothing. Out of Range does not gather your name, location, contacts, photos, device identifiers, or any personal information, whether you're planning a trip, tying a knot, or logging a walk.
How We Use Information
Because none is collected, none is used. We do not analyze your habits, build a profile of your trips, or sell or share anything with advertisers, data brokers, or anyone else.
Data Storage
Your trip plans, packing lists, knot practice history, plant sightings, saved walks and trail log all live only on your own device. Nothing is uploaded to a server or cloud, because we don't operate one for your data.
Third-Party Services
Out of Range contains no analytics software development kits, no advertising networks, and no tracking pixels. The app is designed to run fully offline, and no third party receives information from your use of it.
Data Security
Since your information never leaves your device, there is no transmission to intercept and no remote database to breach. Security is simply a matter of the safety of your own phone or tablet.
Children's Privacy
Out of Range does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13. Because the app requires no account and no personal data of any kind, it is inherently unable to identify or target any user by age.
Your Control
There are no accounts to manage and no servers holding your history. If you want to remove your data entirely, deleting the app removes every trip plan, log entry and saved walk along with it.
Changes to This Policy
If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be included in a future app update with a revised effective date above. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the revised terms.
