What's inside

Five surfaces, one focused worksheet

Brand cover, gear matrix across three spillover pages, consumables band, then a single pack-weight totals + signature page — fill each section in sequence, save between trips.

  • Cover

    Brand cover with the OffGrid Ledger Co. wordmark, product slate, and the compass glyph that signals the backcountry family of products.

  • Eight gear categories

    Shelter, Sleep System, Pack, Clothing (worn + packed), Cook System, Water, Navigation, Safety / First Aid, Hygiene, Essentials — seven to eight pre-populated items per category, three blank rows for your custom kit.

  • Consumables (does NOT count toward base weight)

    Food (calories / day), water (liters per day), fuel (oz per day), toilet paper, trash bag, alcohol for the stove — a second sub-band with its own subtotal so the math is clean.

  • Pack weight totals

    Closing page with three AcroForm text fields: BASE WEIGHT, CONSUMABLES, PACK WEIGHT (the buyer does the math, the page gives them the room).

  • Reviewer & signature

    Reviewer name, review date, a full-width signature line, and a wrap-up notes box — sign the worksheet when your kit is dialed in, save it to your device between trips.

Gear categories

Eight gear categories, three blank rows each

Each category ships with seven to eight pre-populated UL items (typical sources: REI, UL community, PCT-AT-CDT reference lists) and three blank rows for your custom kit. Per-category subtotals roll into the base weight total.

  • · Shelter · Tent, footprint, stakes, guylines
  • · Sleep System · Bag/quilt, pad, pillow, stuff sacks
  • · Pack · Backpack + rain cover + hip belt pocket
  • · Clothing (Worn) · Sun shirt, walking shorts, sun hat, trail shoes
  • · Clothing (Packed) · Rain shell, puffy, fleece, baselayers
  • · Cook System · Stove, pot, lid, spork, lighter
  • · Water Treatment · Filter, chemical backup, smartwater bottles
  • · Navigation · Map, compass, GPS (phone or dedicated)
  • · Safety / First Aid · Kit, repair, duct tape, paracord, headlamp
  • · Hygiene · Trowel, TP, sanitizer, sunscreen, bug spray
  • · Essentials · ID, payment, insurance, comms device

Pack-weight totals

Base + consumables + pack weight - three fields, one page

Three AcroForm text fields at the bottom: BASE WEIGHT (sum of all category subtotals), CONSUMABLES (food + water + fuel + hygiene), PACK WEIGHT (the grand total). The buyer does the math; the page gives the room.

Buy direct

When you turn on direct checkout

The Buy Direct chip on each tool opens a Stripe-hosted checkout that is the only purchase path. It only works once the deploy's Stripe keys are wired and the operator runs the steps below.

  1. Finish Stripe onboarding on the Polsia dashboard Payments page (Connection + branding) — direct checkout stays gated until this completes.
  2. Set ORDER_TOKEN_SECRET on the deploy env (openssl rand -hex 32 → store via set_app_secret) so download links survive a restart.
  3. Redeploy: polsia.toml ships npx prisma db push at build, so the Order table lands automatically.
  4. Smoke-test one $1 charge end-to-end: open /tools/<slug>, click "Buy direct", submit a known email, complete Stripe checkout, land on /checkout/success, click the download button, confirm /api/orders/download streams the unlocked PDF.
  5. Watch the orders feed: prisma.order rows flip pending → paid; the receipt email fires from the post-payment helper.

Direct checkout is the only purchase path — Stripe-hosted with a secure download link emailed the moment payment clears.

Works for every product in the catalog: property-scout-workbook, family-trail-safety-kit, desert-stargazers-journal, property-criteria-scoring-sheet, buyer-bundle, backpack-base-weight-tracker, 72-hour-power-outage-runbook.
