I go walking with my kids a lot, and I advise telling them what to do if you get hurt before hand. I fell and sprained my ankle and it freaked my son out to see me like that. just a basic plan, or some first aid. so they have something to do other than panic.

i teach them how to use a map and compass. teach them which water source if likely the cleanest (fast moving clear water in creeks, etc.).
and how to maintain an awareness of "where they are" and how to get back to the trailhead / car / home from where we are inna woods

Just starting with my kids, age 3 and 5. I have taken them hiking to waterfalls, no more than a 2 mile hike.

We started camping with our daughter when she was 6 month old. We wanted to have her accustomed to the outdoors. She is now a year and a half old and she likes to walk
by herself when we go hiking. You can't start too early. So go easy at first.

That's a myth, some would argue the additional oxidation would increase the risk.

Filter + boil, won't get rid of everything (heavy metals), but incredibly low tech and easy.

Quoted By:

I meet flocks of first graders or kindergarteners all the time a typical encounter goes like this:
I'm sitting at my fire making some coffee and they start circling around and then 2 of the bravest ones muster up courage to ask one of the following opening questions
>do you live here
>how old are you
>what are you doing
>do you have parents
>what is your name
And after the initial introduction they barrage me with question about my gear or the bushcrafty stuff I'm doing

Then their caretakers usually show up to varify that everything is okay. Usually share coffee with them

Flint and steel is by far the thing that enthralls them the most.

I think there is great value in it becaus children question things adults do
