A living map of 48,293 places — parks, trails, campsites, guides, shops — each with its own feed. Plan trips with friends, post the report, find the next adventure. Free for everyone, always.
Home is where you scroll. Search is where you discover. Trips is where you plan. Gear is where you stock up. Profile is where you prove the life you live.
48,293 places. 13 listing types. One unified catalog. Pan and zoom to define your area — distance is the map itself. Every pin is a first-class place with its own feed.
Every trip is a workspace your group lives in — from the first idea to the post-trip story. Five sections in one tab, free for everyone.
Overview, dates, members, AI itinerary, weather.
Group chat with pinnable photos, polls, pins, expenses, outfitter cards.
Smart list by activity. Personal & shared, assignable, drawn from My Gear.
Plan meals from a recipe browser. Grocery list rolls up, claim what you’ll bring.
Splitwise-style balances. Per-person totals, settle up in a tap.
“Plan the trip. Take the trip. Post the report. Friends see it. They plan a trip.”
The North Star loop. Every trip ends with a story — and that story fills the feed.
Three views in one tab — shop peer-to-peer, browse the affiliate catalog, and manage the gear you actually own. Then it shows up everywhere it matters: packing lists, what-to-bring, posts, and your profile.
Track everything you own. Pin your 10 most essential items as your Every Day Carry — they sit at the top of your profile so friends can see exactly what you trust on the trail. My Gear powers every packing list automatically.
Peer-to-peer gear listings, OfferUp-style. Category multi-select, location and radius search (default 30 miles), grid layout, persistent recent searches.
11 categories of curated gear from AvantLink and Amazon. Buy Now opens in-app Safari — you never leave CIE. Bought through the link? It earns a “Purchased via CIE” badge in your loadout.
💚 Products are never ranked by commission. If a non-affiliate product is better, it ranks higher. Trust is the product.
Our competition isn’t AllTrails. It’s the phone itself — TikTok, Instagram, YouTube. The feed has to earn the scroll. Three contextual layers, five post types, and an algorithm that keeps it from being sold to.
Local posts, conditions, followed places near home. Nextdoor, but for the outdoors.
Places you’re planning or researching surface ahead of trip. Zillow energy, while you scroll.
Trips, stories, and posts from your circle. Instagram, but for an outdoor crowd.
“I’m here.” Lightweight. The most common post.
One photo or short video, with a caption.
Trail muddy. Creek high. Lot full by 9am.
The post-trip story. Cover, dates, places, narrative.
Ephemeral 24-hour post. Candidate for Story of the Month.
Guides, adventure companies, rental shops, retail, shuttles, summer camps, climbing gyms. End users never pay — that’s a product principle. The owners do, and they get a real surface for it.
Join the waitlist and we’ll let you know when Camping Is Easy launches on the App Store. Early members get first access to TestFlight, help shape the product, and earn the first contributor badges in the catalog.
No spam, ever. Just launch updates.
