I have been being pestered by my nephews for ages now since I moved back home after leaving the army to take them camping and do out doory stuff.
The problem I have is, all my training and equipment experience has been with the military. I can hardly have them tabbing with webbing on, and sleeping under bashers with no white light...
So I was looking for some advice, basically what equipment is good for young ones to take with them? And how do you deal with take kids of around 10 out for a couple of nights. Should I be making them carry their own kit? I have a load of old day sacks now stashed in the loft (Camelbak Motherlodes etc... which I was going to stick on ebay), but if they are an ok size I can let them use them.
And any other advice about taking youngsters out... I feel that they might like the idea of it more than the application!
