The object behind the image

What was in the bundle?

A bindle was a portable bundle, not a standardized kit. Think clothing, food, bedding, and whatever personal essentials someone could carry.

Adjust the estimate

A practical illustration, not a universal packing list.

Contents varied by person, season, work, and circumstance. The popular image is shorthand, not proof of one fixed historical packing list.

Four editable estimates are added

Read the explanation

Sample clothing two, food one point five, blanket three and essentials one pound sum seven point five pounds. Bars compare clothing two and blanket three at one hundred pixels per pound. These are illustrative editable estimates, not a fixed historical packing list or measured bundle. Contents varied with circumstance. The source clamps numeric items to zero or above, sums them and displays one decimal place. An illustrative seven point five four total displays seven point five. Bars use sixty pixels per pound. Export keeps each numeric item and the displayed weight string, not a separate precise numeric sum. Four category labels remain even when one category has zero weight, leaving three positive-weight categories. Bars use one hundred pixels per category. The category count is fixed source text rather than a computation. Reset restores all four defaults and saves locally. JSON includes the illustration caveat; no historical contents are validated.
