Keep these in mind when picking the backpacking hike
1. Don’t forget to account for your child’s backpack weight
2. Check night temps
3. Confidence is good, but don’t overestimate it
Depending on where you will be camping, there are a variety of safety aspects to figure out – bear protection, fire threat, flash floods, sudden weather changes, and of course, leaving no trace.
