Backpacking with children is harder than backpacking solo, and more rewarding than almost anything else you can do as a family. This category covers everything specific to multi-day backcountry trips where you carry everything you need on your back, including how to do it with babies, toddlers, and school-age kids.
You’ll find guides on ultralight gear selection, how to plan your first backpacking trip with kids, what to feed children on the trail, how to handle water filtration and purification, and how to manage camp chores with young children along. There are also honest gear reviews of backpacking-specific equipment tested on real trips across multiple countries and terrains.
The goal of this category is to make backcountry travel accessible to families who think it’s beyond their reach. With the right preparation and the right gear, you can take your kids further into the wilderness than you ever thought possible.
