Mine are 2, 4, 6 & 8. They're already very keen on spending a night out in hammocks (well, the older ones are... !). Got a couple of DD scout hammocks on order ready for a night in the woods this summer. Will have to start putting some kits together along these lines (might hold off on the lighter and the knife for another couple of years though)!! Can't wait!!

the 8Yo should be able to handle a knife of some form or other (I would suggest an Opinel #6 to begin with)

Report: the kids love their kits and we spend 5-6 days hanging this summer in their hammocks, they love getting out and using all the items in their kits, I don't think a weekend goes by that they don't ask to whittle something or another.

Next year we are going to the bushmoot so that should be a great experience for the kids as they will be able to live in their hammocks for the whole time.

I'm doing something similar for my kids.....though not quite so extensive. I do have a couple of ideas though...

We use these when we're out in the forest. http://www.amazon.co.uk/PMR446-Walkie-Talkie-Charger-Batteries/dp/B001BP4N9C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418516586&sr=8-1&keywords=cobra+mt975+walkie+talkie The kids love them and have one each.

I've also ordered them one of these each to go with their survival kit. http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAS-Survival-Guide-survive-Collins/dp/0007320817/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418516755&sr=8-1&keywords=sas+survival+handbook+gem

not everybody likes them or see's the point for them in the uk but a cheap survival blanket is an idea for the nights they get really cold just a suggestion nice and cheap of the bay

As someone (on here I think) pointed out recently... All Weather Blankets seem cheap here http://medtree.co.uk/all-weather-blanket-system-orange?keyword=blanket&category_id=0

We like those. Ms. Swift insists on having one on the tent floor beneath the mats. They are much easier to reuse than a normal one. Though I still don't understand how Cody Lundin can get one into a bum bag with space for more stuff.
