Chicago Packing List: Free PDF and Excel

Want the Chicago packing list without hunting for the download button? Easy.

Pop your email in the form above and I'll send the list to your inbox, along with occasional tips. Prefer no email? Use "Skip email, just download" to get the PDF and Excel file right away. Twenty checks in four steps: before you pack, winter and lake wind, summer lakefront, and walking, transit, and neighborhoods. Use it after you confirm the season, whether days will be mostly downtown, in neighborhoods, or on the lakefront, and the current NWS Chicago forecast. It's not a generic cold-weather-city inventory.

You won't forget anything because I won't let you.
