🏕️ Packing Activities

✨ What It Does

Packing activities are the connective tissue between your reusable gear library and each trip. Build a catalog of scenarios—“City sightseeing,” “Trail run,” “Client offsite”—and attach them to packing items so Benji knows exactly which gear belongs when a trip includes that activity.

🚪 Access & Activation

Enable Packing from Settings → Features → Packing. See the Enabling Features guide for details on feature toggles and visibility options.

🧭 Core Workflow

• Open Trip Activities to see every activity in a searchable list. Use the search bar or emoji to scan at a glance.
• Click Add Activity to create a new entry with a name (and optionally an emoji). The list updates the moment you save.
• Select one or more cards to reveal the multi-select toolbar for bulk delete—handy when pruning old scenarios.
• Use the card menu to rename an activity or remove it when it’s no longer needed.

🛠️ In-Feature Settings

• The create/edit form collects a required name with an optional emoji picker inline.
• Activities stay lightweight on purpose; there are no dates or owners to manage, just the metadata that powers packing suggestions.

🔗 Integrations & Dependencies

• Packing items can reference multiple activities; when you start packing a trip, every activity you include pulls in the exact gear mapped here.
• Trips and the charging board read the same activity assignments, so keeping names consistent prevents duplicate scenarios.

💡 Tips & Edge Cases

• Keep activity names actionable (“Trail Run – Cold Weather”) so you can tell similar scenarios apart when selecting them for a trip.
• Use emoji categories to visually group activities (🥾 for outdoor, 💼 for work) and make the packing list easier to scan.
• When you retire an activity, bulk edit its related items first to avoid unexpected checklist gaps on future trips.
