Simulator · By weight, not by fear

Pack Simulator

Choose a place or a climate band, the activity and the days, and the simulator builds a packing list with the weight of every item, the total on your back, the water on top and the warnings where the list and the airline or the horse disagree.

Packing is decided by three things: the coldest night, the wettest day and how the bag moves. The simulator starts from the place’s climate and realm, adds the activity’s essentials and multiplies the consumables by days, then adds up the grams. Tick things off, add your own, and watch the total against the limits.

Simulators

One place, one month, one calendarJourney SimulatorChoose a place, a month, the days you have and how you travel. The simulator lays out a day-by-day timeline with temperatures, daylight, sleeping altitude, effort and cost, and flags the days where the model gets nervous. Open

What the month does to the placeClimate SimulatorHighs, lows and rain days for all twelve months of any place, with a feels-like line, a clothing verdict and a side-by-side comparison of up to three places for the month you can travel. Open

Sunrise, sunset and the polar casesDaylight SimulatorAny latitude, any date: sunrise, sunset, day length, civil twilight and the golden hours, drawn as an arc. It knows about the midnight sun and the polar night, and it shows how fast the day changes around your dates. Open

The Simulation Brief

One place, one simulator, one honest number. Every second Sunday.

No newsletter theatre. A short e-mail with the place we modelled, what the model said and what the ground said back.
