high quality backpacks for kids image
rainwriter
I know that as a general rule, the pasticy feeling ones with licensed characters all over them are lower quality than others. What brand of backpack have you found to be the best, both in terms of looking cool and being high quality and resilient?
Answer
We get backpacks from Mountain Equipment Co-Op because they are very good quality and good for your back if you are carrying lots of stuff. My kids have had their backpacks since they started school and they are going into grades 5 and 8. Mind you, we use them for school, and school only, so that probably helps. I don't know if they are "cool", but I do know that there are several other kids in their school with the same kind.

Ideas for a Wilderness Exploration summer camp area?
Frolf970
I'm working at a summer camp and a friend of mine is in charge of the "wilderness exploration" area. W.E. (wilderness exploration), traditionally involves teaching kids about things and concepts associated with camping outside, and usually there are several camping trips organized for outside of the camp, We have been brainstorming some ideas to teach, like leather work, camping and cooking, orientation, and other general stuff. I was just wondering if you could give us some good ideas to teach the kids and get them involved. Some fun activities, concepts, exercises, arts and crafts, etc. Everything from camping to nature or whatever! Thanks guys!
Answer
Teaching ideas:
1] Plant and animal communities and zones: montaine, alpine, tundra form areas for distinctive species.
2] Energy production in various communities: wetlands produce more plant and animal densities than dry forests or deserts.
3] Firestarting without matches. [Look at my favorite: StrikeForce spark generator with lint dipped in petroleum jelly or high-potency alcohol.]
4] Explore campfire cooking recipes and techniques.
5] Evaluate gear checklists for various wilderness trips.
6] Compare types of gear and their qualities for wilderness backpacking.
