Your Trip Portfolio
All of your trip information — route, vehicle, gear, medical info, emergency contacts, check-in schedule — collected into a single place and shareable with the people who need it most.
What the trip portfolio is
TrekFreely is not a trip planner. You already have tools for that — AllTrails, Gaia, OnX, paper maps, whatever works for you. The trip portfolio is where all of that information comes together.
Think of it as a single, shareable document that holds everything the people back home would need to know about your trip: where you are going, what you are driving, what you are carrying, how to reach you, and when to expect you back. You build it once before your trip, and the people you share it with have a complete picture without needing to ask you twenty questions.
Research and preparation
Before you can put a trip together, you need to do the homework. What does the weather look like? Are there permits involved? What are the trail conditions? Which maps cover the area? That research is the foundation of any solid trip plan, and it is usually scattered across a dozen different websites.
Our Resources section pulls that information into one place — maps, weather, trail conditions, permits, emergency services, activity-specific apps, and more. It is not a trip planner. It is the information you need to make good decisions while you are putting your plan together.
The trip portfolio picks up where that research leaves off. Once you have done the planning and know where you are going, the portfolio is where all of it gets documented and shared with the people who need it. One side helps you prepare. The other makes sure that preparation is not locked in your head.
What goes into a portfolio
Route
Import your route from a GPX, KML, or KMZ file. It is displayed on a map alongside your planned stopping points, sleeping locations, and parking spots.
Vehicle
License plate, year, make, model, color, and a photo. Saved to your account so you only enter it once and can select it on future trips.
Gear
Your pack, footwear, shelter, and outer layers — with make, model, color, and photos. Boot tread photos are supported because Search and Rescue (SAR) teams use tread patterns during searches.
Medical information
Allergies, conditions, medications, and blood type. Saved to your account and carried into each trip, with the option to add trip-specific notes. Medical information is encrypted and only accessible in a SAR handoff — it is not shown on the contact dashboard.
Emergency contacts
Select from your saved contacts or add new ones. Each contact receives their own unique link to your trip dashboard.
Check-in schedule
Set a check-in interval, a final return deadline, or both. If a check-in is missed or your return deadline passes, your emergency contacts are notified automatically.
GPS and satellite integrations
Connect your Garmin inReach, SPOT device, or APRS/HAM radio. Location data from these devices is displayed on your contacts' dashboard in near-real-time.
PDF trip report
Generate a downloadable PDF of your complete trip portfolio. Print it, leave a copy in your vehicle, or file it with a ranger station.
For the people waiting for you
The people connected to your trip receive a link — no account, no app, no setup. They open the link and see your trip status, your route on a map, your last check-in, and a summary of your trip details.
If you are overdue, the dashboard walks them through what to do — step by step. They do not need outdoor experience. They do not need to know who to call. The dashboard handles that.
This is the part of TrekFreely that exists because the people waiting for you are part of every trip, whether they realize it or not. The information they need should not be scattered across your phone, your email, and a sticky note on the fridge.
Your data stays yours
We understand that license plate numbers, medical conditions, and medication lists are not the kind of information you hand over lightly. That is why everything stored in your trip portfolio is encrypted, and sensitive fields like medical information use an additional layer of encryption that keeps the data unreadable until it is specifically needed during a SAR handoff.
Your data is never shared with third parties, never sold, and never used for advertising. The only people who see your trip details are the emergency contacts you choose to share them with.
You can request a full export of your data or delete your account at any time from your account settings. No hoops, no waiting period.
