Quick Answers

Do I need to create an account? ▾

No. Trip Card has no accounts, no login, no database. Open the page, fill the form, print your card.

What should my contact do with the card? ▾

Hand it to them or send a screenshot. They keep it nearby on your trip day. If you don't check in on time, they follow the steps on the bottom half — no guessing.

Is the 4-hour timeline right for every situation? ▾

It follows standard SAR guidance, but remote areas, extreme weather, or solo trips may warrant a shorter window. Always check your local SAR organization's recommendations and adjust your check-in time accordingly.

Can I use this for activities other than hiking? ▾

Yes — climbing, skiing, kayaking, mountain biking, hunting. Any trip where someone at home should know your plan and what to do if you're overdue.
