Bring the Table
to the Wild.

WildTable plans the meals for group camping and backpacking trips — so the food that should be cold on Night 5 is still cold on Night 5, dinner survives the fire ban, and nobody texts "wait, who's bringing the stove?"

The Premise · 01

Every outdoor cook
asks the same
five questions.

We built WildTable around them. Every answer comes back about your trip — your crew, your cooler, your Friday night — not about software.

Q · 01

Where am I going, and what's it like there?

You'll know the weather, the fire ban, the cell coverage, and where the water is before you leave the driveway.
Q · 02

Will this spoil?

The chicken for Night 5 rides in the cooler that stays shut until Night 5 — and if it won't keep that long, you hear about it now, not at camp.
Q · 03

What can I make with my gear?

Dinner fits the two-burner stove you actually own — and still lands when the fire ban posts on Thursday.
Q · 04

Is this creating more work for me?

Trip leaders never field 500 questions. Participants see only what they need.
Q · 05

How can I give back to this place?

Your donation goes to the people protecting the place that fed you — all of it. We take no cut.

F·01AI Guide

A camp chef on standby.

Talk to it like you'd talk to a friend who's planned this trip a dozen times. Flag the fire ban and it reworks the nights that needed a campfire, around the meals you've already planned. Powered by Claude.

F·02Cooler Logic

Don't open Night 5 until Night 5.

Every cooler is labeled for the nights it feeds, and the frozen chili rides along as an ice block. You pack once and stop thinking about it.

F·03Cook Teams

Six cooks, one happy kitchen.

Everyone knows their cooking night before the trip. Nobody packs three pounds of duplicate chicken. Your crew never installs an app or makes an account, and you never herd cats.

F·04Stewardship

Eat there. Take care of there.

Every region links to the nonprofit working on the ground there: ONDA, Friends of Cedar Mesa, Wyoming Outdoor Council. We send you to their donate page. We don't take a cut.

The Planner · 04

This is what
calm looks like.

Six people, three vehicles, five nights. The Planner holds it all: who cooks when, what rides in which cooler, and what the AI Guide suggests when the fire ban hits.

Fire ban just posted for the whole district. Friday is bread night. Now what?
AI GuideThree of Friday's dishes survive on the two-burner stove as written. The skillet bread doesn't. Swap it for the cold-soak couscous already on your list: zero flame, same crew size, and it frees up 40 minutes.
