Great tips Craig, especially the bonus food tip. My tip would be to make a day of it, sharing the planning and equipment. my 11yr old (at the time 9)and i had a boys day in Brighton followed by camping on the way home, he loved it and wants to do it again. - Robb
brilliant video I have been camping all my life we have children now 11 and 5 we have been to all posh and expensive sites so this year for the first time since a kid we going wild one nighters basically for that experience we love walking got into walking during lockdown and often walk for hours I can say its a struggle getting them off there devices at home but when walking for 8 hours the longest now with no devices absolutely love it ,no arguments no electricals just the great outdoors 😊

We started in the garden camping and fire building. They (11 and 13) nearly fight who will build the one match fire when we are out camping. Nice doing a video with your son when talking about children and camping. It is a good channel thank you for your hard work 👍
Thanks for sharing your own experience of getting outdoors with your kids. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for taking some time out of your day to watch and comment, it's really appreciated.
My son takes an 'adventure stick' with him. At the end of our adventure we leave it somewhere obvious so another kid can take it on more adventures. Best upload so far Mr Taylors! T in Dublin.

Great video mate. I've taken my son on two hammock wild camps in the past and he has loved it. Wanting to take him into the hills next. These are all great tips especially the bonus tip. Looking forward to the next video.

Great tips mate - been at this for a good few months now and loving every minute. Like you say, preparation is key and don’t overdo it. Think I’ve made that mistake a bit but fortunately got away with it 😜😜
I do like the concept and idea's and admit to cross pollination here in Germany. Each week thanks to state Corona sponsors Bushcraft is being offered to the local kid's. Hopefully to hone future Bushcraft and Outdoor needs.

I wouldn't fancy dragging a 5 person tent into a 'wild camping' location either! 😂 Have you considered using a traditional semi-wild campsite where you can drive your car up to the tent pitch but it's still remote enough to feel 'wild'? There are several such campsites in the Ogwen Valley in Snowdonia?
Thanks for such a prompt and informative response! I didn’t write know how to tackle it but your suggestions all make sense. I only had a single person tent which I suppose is the easy purchase. Family camping is complex!! Thanks again
What tip(s) would you share with others to enhance a wild camping trip with kids?

Sounds like you're making some great memories there Robb, keep it up 👍
Thanks for sharing your own tip too.
Nice video Dad! 👍Thanks for bringing me there!
Cheers Finlay, won't be long until the next adventure!

Brilliant list I would add spare socks x3 and light pair of trainers. Wet feet are an eventuality with my 8 year old.

I’ve got 3 kids, any tips? No idea how I can carry a tent for potentially 5 people!!
