Why buy it when the site is free?

The free pages give you the numbers. The planner makes you record your own, in the order the decisions actually happen, so nothing gets bought twice. Every worksheet prints cleanly, and the gear lists link straight to the products they describe.

It is a working document rather than a book. Print it, fill it in, take it to the shop.
