About BonedOut

Built in Montana. Made for the backcountry.

We're creating practical tools and field-tested guides for hunters, anglers, and hikers who venture deep into wilderness areas — starting with the Bob Marshall Complex.

Our Story

BonedOut started with a simple problem: planning backcountry hunts and hikes in Montana's Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex required piecing together information from dozens of sources. Trail conditions, water sources, meat pack-out logistics, seasonal closures — all critical details scattered across forums, ranger stations, and hard-won experience.

We set out to build something better. A single place where backcountry users could access reliable, up-to-date information and practical tools that actually work in the field.

What started as a personal project has grown into a resource for the broader backcountry community. Every guide is field-tested. Every calculator is built from real pack-out scenarios. Every tip comes from miles logged and lessons learned in grizzly country.

We're a small team based in Montana, and we're committed to keeping the core tools free while building premium features that serious backcountry users will value.

Mission

What We Believe

Field-tested over armchair theory. Every guide, tip, and tool is validated by actual backcountry experience.
Free core tools, premium upgrades. Essential planning resources stay free. Advanced features (AI trip planning, GPX exports, premium maps) fund ongoing development.
Respect for wild places. We promote Leave No Trace ethics, bear-country safety, and responsible access to wilderness areas.
Community-driven knowledge. The best insights come from the people who actually do the work — hunters packing out elk miles from the trailhead, anglers finding hidden cutthroat lakes, hikers navigating complex terrain.
Montana roots, universal application. Built for the Bob Marshall, but the principles and tools work anywhere you venture into the backcountry.

What Drives Us

Practical Over Perfect

We prioritize tools that work in real conditions over academic perfection. A meat calculator that gets you close enough to plan your pack-out beats a complex formula you can't use in the field.

Transparency

We're honest about what's free, what costs money, and why. No hidden upsells. No dark patterns. Just clear value for your time and investment.

Continuous Improvement

Trail conditions change. Regulations evolve. We commit to keeping information current and responding to feedback from the community.
