Went up the local hills with my 6 year old on Friday last. Evening started off overcast but soon brightened up. The missus reckoned I was overloading him but he seemed to manage the bags ok!
A hearty meal of chicken tikka, sweet chilli prawns and chocolate filled pancakes to finish! Great little trek, a bit of knife practice and some good “bonding” time. Who could ask for more?!!
Cant wait for the next outing. Hopefully an overnighter!
If there are no women around and a man says something, is he still wrong?
Looks like you two had a great time and a fantastic feast. Bet all his friends will be jealous when he tells them about it. Think all kids should have a chance to get out and play and live a little in the woods. I know I spent most of my days out just doing stuff. Had a pocket knife and could light a fire from very young but never did anything malicious.
Hope you've many more trips out,
GB.

Looks fantastic! I've nearly finished my tea reading this and the chicken tikka has got me feeling hungry!
Your son's tshirt is very effective in the tree shots you can't see his torso!
I have to agree with your Mrs though, he does look far too overloaded. Perhaps I could help carry the bags next time?
Cheers,

nice photos, thanks for sharing
Campfires are best shared with friends.
Great pics Thumbcrusher. For me, one of the most important duties of a Bushcrafter is to pass on the skills we possess.
No better pupils than our offsprings.

A fine day out for father and son
