Went for a hike this afternoon with my son (three years old... almost 4) and we decided that we would take along our hammocks and try to take a nap. We found a great spot right by the river, but the snow started up and became too much for us to take a nap (I didn't bring the tarps). Anyways, this might be a boring video, but if you have kids or just really like trip report type things then you might get a kick out of it :) thanks for reading/watching.
I have kids, and I like trip reports ... and I did get kick out of it.
Way to go!
Great trip, lucky kid! I Miss those days with my daughter, enjoy time goes by quickly.
Great video! My son turned three in November. Two nights ago we shared an Eno Pronest under my new tarp. I am escited that he is into the outdoors and I bet you are too.
This is great. My son is also almost 4 and loves being outside. We've camped a couple times so far. In fact we have a trip planned for Jan 7th, and I hope to camp outback a few nights over the holiday too. Here is Mom helping him in with is cousin.
Cool kid that likes to go out with Dad! Cool DAD to take kid out! Looks like he’s gettin the hang of it!
Have fun!
Good job dad getting him started young thats the way to do it! He is a little trooper looked like that grass was about as tall as him and he made it all the way out there, he is a tough little guy and like you said if he is having fun thats all that matters! Too many parents now days just stick there kids in front of a tv or video games. Great job dad!:D

Ahh thats cool. I hope the Grand-daughter will want to go out with me come summer. I was sleeping last Sunday early in the morning when she crawled into the hammock with me from her bed. Stayed there from 2 to about 4:30 when she moved over to be with my wife where the 2 dogs and 3 cats were. Big ole fur fest there. She spent the whole night in her bedroom last weekend. Two and a half, won't be long before I don't have a snuggler again.
ha, that's great stuff! as he grows a little more, do you think he will stay involved in the out-of-doors?
if so, you gotta check out this line of packs for kids.. search for "little light gear"
Is this still in business, all the web links say it isn't found.Quote:

I was thinking about making a small pack for my little guy, basically a stuff sack with straps. His backpacks are heavy and big on him. He has a superman pack like in hikingdad's video, it weights 1.5lbs by iteself.
SWEET trip report. My grandson is just a few months younger, I hope to get him out like that soon. Probably next spring. BTW, Nick runs about the same way Noah does; about 10% faster than he should, without watching where he is putting his feet. :D
Pretty river, where is it?
Thanks for the comments everyone!
@brewguy hope you guys have fun and nice pic!
@te-wa I sure hope he does! The outdoors were a big part of my life growing up and I'm trying to make sure all of my kids (three sons) grow to love the outdoors. And I'm having same issue as brewguy....
no kids for me yet. Awesome video though. May be me some day .... in the far future
What a little qutie, and a tough guy too. Nice report, it looks like you two enjoyed your selves.
Too CUTE!! I love it.
:thumbup:
Take a look at the REI Flash 18. Just got one for less than $20 (on sale). It is a staff sack with a waist strap and shoulder straps. Very easy to adjust the size.Quote:

Looks like fun! I can't wait to take my girls out this spring and summer.
I liked the video. I like the father/son time you got.
I have one daughter, she has a hammock now but hasn't used it on a trip yet. We're looking forward to our first hang together.
Looks like fun, thanks for sharing.
