10 Tips For Keeping Kids Happy and Safe Outdoors

Postby wayno » Thu 07 Nov, 2013 12:24 pm

Some people might say my wife and I are bad parents. We’ve repeatedly and deliberately placed our kids—at young ages—in risky situations. And I’m not talking about letting them ride their bikes without wearing helmets (which, admittedly, would be insane) or frequently taking them to McDonald’s (and what kind of parent would do that?!).

I’m talking about setting out with seven- and four-year-old kids to cross-country ski through a snowstorm for hours to a backcountry yurt.

All sounds pretty good.

If kids don't know the concept of laziness, then they will just keep going for the goal set.
Just move it!
