Ep. 37: Backcountry With Kids

Has having kids slowed down your adventures into the backcountry? It doesn't have to. Give a listen as Catharine gives her advice on how to get your kids into the backcountry. From trip planning to lowering your expectations, she has built her experience by taking her kids starting at the ages of 3 and 4 on backpacking trips here in Ontario and in the USA in the Adirondack Mountains and Allegheny National Forest.

Experiencing the backcountry together is a great thing to share and will help your kids develop a whole new set of skills that will help them for the rest of their lives.

And remember right now your kids are probably slower than you but in a few years you'll have to train to keep up.
