I really enjoyed reading Fergie's book 'Gone Huntin'. I often think about getting it out of the library and reading it to my kids. Maybe that is something you could do. Bring a copy along and read some of the stories together around the fire. That's if you have a fire.
Good luck, have fun and happy hunting!
Sounds like a great trip. Amazing people spend tons of money to go to other places when you can rent a float plane and hit a lake in beautiful "nowhere BC". Your kids will remember that trip forever I'm sure.

Ya I'm interested to see how they do with less. Try not to spoil them but .......
This may seem like a stupid question however I am going to ask anyway. What do you do for crappers on fly in trips when your base camp is beside a lake? Dig a hole? bring some plywood and build a box? bring a seat? go for a walk? I'm sure some of these lakes must get a lot of groups each year. This isn't normally an issue for me but we have a sign at our house that says "Welcome to the house of pee and poo" for a reason.
You are going to have a blast!! Hunting with my kids has been one of the most rewarding things of my life. My one son started hunting with me at 4 years age. He became an amazing outdoorsman and by 14 I trusted my life with him. Pats books are nothing but fun! I have read all his books 3 times over. You know your kids better than anyone. Take what each kid needs to be happy. As long as my son was hunting, he was happy, rain or shine.
Tuning in here. Hoping to do a northern bc atv camp in the mk this year with a 5 and 3 year old. Want to get them started early and timing wise is a good year to do it with family dynamics. Hoping to go with a cousin and their family of high schoolers so have g the help will be good. Let us know how it goes.

When my kids were young we went on more than a few remote hunts and fishing trips. Our family doc was also a hunter with kids and he actually suggested taking a bit of the common antibiotics along in the event of one of one of the usual e/n/t bugs. Glad to have them a couple of times.

I'm im not sure it would turn them off hunting. A deck of cards can be the start of many games.
It would be a great opportunity to show them the simple things in life. Teach them skills that they won't learn in school or on a screen. Kids these days wouldn't survive 1 day in the bush!
