Wilderness Vault is the offline survival guide built for hikers, campers, backpackers, and anyone who ventures beyond cell service. Every feature works without an internet connection, giving you survival knowledge, navigation tools, and emergency resources when you need them most.
Whether you're deep in the backcountry, preparing for your next trip, or learning wilderness skills at home, Wilderness Vault puts expert survival guidance in your pocket.
COMPLETE SURVIVAL GUIDE LIBRARY
Access a comprehensive library of wilderness survival guides written by experts. Topics include:
Fire starting techniques including bow drill, ferro rod, and improvised methods
Shelter building for every environment and season
Water purification and sourcing in the wild
Land navigation with map and compass
Wilderness first aid and emergency response
Edible and medicinal plant identification
Knot tying for camping, climbing, and rescue
Signaling and rescue techniques

Animal safety and wildlife awareness
All guides are stored directly on your device. No downloads, no loading screens, no signal required. Open the app and start reading instantly.
AI SURVIVAL ASSISTANT
Get answers to your wilderness questions from an intelligent assistant powered by on-device AI. The assistant searches the full guide library to deliver relevant, context-aware responses tailored to your situation.
Ask anything from "How do I start a fire in wet conditions?" to "What are the signs of hypothermia?" and get actionable advice immediately. Because the AI runs on your device, it works completely offline with no data connection.
GPS TRACKING AND NAVIGATION
Record your hiking routes with full GPS track logging. Drop custom waypoints to mark campsites, water sources, trail junctions, and points of interest along the way. Use your saved tracks and waypoints to navigate back to camp or retrace your route to the trailhead.
Background location tracking keeps your route recording even when your phone is locked or in your pocket, so you never lose your path.
OFFLINE MAPS
Download maps before your trip and access them in areas with no cell coverage. View your live position, saved waypoints, and recorded tracks overlaid on the map for complete situational awareness in the field.
WEATHER ALERTS
Stay ahead of dangerous conditions with real-time weather alerts pulled from the National Weather Service. Alerts are cached automatically, so you can still review the latest forecast after you lose signal on the trail.
CUSTOM CHECKLISTS
Build detailed packing lists and trip preparation checklists for any adventure. Create checklists for day hikes, overnight backpacking trips, winter camping, or any scenario. Never leave essential gear behind again.
EMERGENCY CONTACTS
Store your emergency contacts, trip itineraries, and important numbers in one accessible place. When seconds count, your critical information is one tap away.
DESIGNED FOR THE OUTDOORS
Wilderness Vault was built from the ground up for offline use. Guides, maps, tracks, waypoints, checklists, and emergency contacts are all stored locally on your device. No account required. No data harvested. Your information stays on your device.
