    Re: Getting Out With Children

    I found we didn’t do much outdoors for the first few years, but as soon as my two oldest were 4 and 5 we were back doing lots of camping and hiking. Kids are capable of so much more than we expect of them. My 4, 9 and 10 year old last year hiked into Nels bight (Cape Scott) which is 17 or 18 kms in one day, they did 10 the next day and then the hike out. They just love every minute of being outside. I always try and plan as many projects as possible. The last few years we’ve been building tarp tents out of sticks and paracord to sleep in this time of year, or a quinzee in the middle of winter.

    The big thing is just getting out and trying. There’s so much info on the internet these days you can find out anything you need. The other thing that sets my wife’s mind at ease is the garmin inReach to contact help if something goes sideways. Other than that,plan and be prepared

    Does anyone know of beginner blogs, vlogs, channels etc on the topic? I do have another mom friend who’s actually interested in getting out there too (probably not hunting but to meet up camping).

    Is Garmin InReach an app or a gps type thing?

    Maybe consider some info from WildSafeBC and AdventureSmart for a good basis
    Then build on it with some bushcraft, plant/animal identification, foraging for food to add to dinner, etc

    Where in the kootenays are you? Might be easier to point you to easy areas if we knew more about where you are located.

    My son has been out in the woods with me since he was old enough to walk! Ice fishing, hunting, trail cameras, fishing, camping, 4x4ing, Everything! Thats how you get children to care about our environment! Kids know where their food comes from, and that a critter has to die, to get on your plate! Appreciation for the world is taught at an early age! Moosin
