I've been thinking about getting the kids involved in bushcraft as a means of education and spending time together. I was going to ask the same thing after stumbling across the site but i see you guys have already done all the hard work in putting something together to help out. While i doubt i'll have anything near the capacity and quality you have for 3 kids, i hope to be able to have a reliable kit to be able to use with my oldest daughter who is 11 this year. She's interested in the outdoors and has dropped hints that she'd love to do things like this, so after not being able to spend time with her because of my job, it's time i made myself available to do something as worthwhile and fun, as well as educational and relevant like bushcraft.
I've got to put together my own kit as well, mainly just for day trips to hone skills together. Building shelters and fire work to start with until we can field a kit stable enough to spend more time outdoors. I'm looking forward to learning and hopefully you guys and girls have the patience to put up with my neverending questions that are sure to pop up all around the forums. Slowly, slowly catchy monkey.
Bushcraft has been an interest in mine for a long while but i've never actually done anything other than tend a few fires, although using modern equipment. Here's to an educational journey to hone skills that will last a lifetime!
