A guide on backpacking with children, including how to go lightweight, have fun, and stay safe on the trail. My husband and I have thousands of miles of backpacking experience and have brought our kids along with us for hundreds of those miles. This book is filled with tips, lists, and pictures on how to plan for a trip, gear options, how to deal with obstacles (weather, animals, and crummy attitudes), and more. There’s a whole section on games and rewards that have worked well for our family and have kept us entertained for hours from age two thru teens.
