SPRING IS HERE, WHICH MEANS IT’S TIME TO GET OUTSIDE WITH THE FAMILY. BUT NO
MATTER HOW PRETTY THE SCENERY ON A TRAIL, NOBODY’S GOING TO HAVE FUN IF YOU’RE
GETTING BLISTERS AND SLIPPING ON EVERY WET SPOT ON THE TRAIL. COMFORTABLE
FOOTWEAR WILL LET YOUR KIDS ENJOY OUTDOOR FAMILY TIME WITHOUT HAVING TO DEAL
WITH SORE FEET, HOT SPOTS, AND STUBBED TOES. IT’S ALSO A GREAT WAY TO MINIMIZE
THE FREQUENCY OF “ARE WE THERE YET?” AND “MY FEET HURT!” HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO
KNOW ABOUT FINDING THE RIGHT HIKING BOOTS AND SHOES FOR KIDS — AND SOME
EXCELLENT OPTIONS FOR THEIR FEET.

TIPS AND TRICKS
A WILDERNESS SKILL FOR KIDS: TEACH THEM HOW TO FILTER WATER
IF YOU’RE GOING ON A MULTI-DAY TRIP, BRINGING GALLONS OF WATER ON LONG HIKES
ISN’T FEASIBLE. BUT PLANNING AHEAD AND CAMPING WITH ACCESS TO WATER SOURCES IS.
TEACHING YOUR KIDS HOW TO ACCESS AND FILTER WATER WILL ADD A SENSE OF CONFIDENCE
AND EXCITEMENT EVERY TIME THEY GO INTO THE WILD.
HERE’S HOW TO PRACTICE. THE NEXT TIME YOU’RE OUT WITH THE KIDS ON A HIKE, PLAN
TO FIND A PLACE WITH NATURAL WATER SOURCES. DON’T BRING A WATER BOTTLE, BUT DO
BRING A FILTER LIKE THE SAWYER MINI FILTRATION SYSTEM, $20
[[link removed]],
A HANDHELD FILTER THAT ATTACHES DIRECTLY TO WATER BOTTLES OR THE INCLUDED
HYDRATION POUCH.THIS FILTRATION SYSTEM PROTECTS AGAINST AND FILTERS OUT ALL THE
NASTY STUFF (PROTOZOA, BACTERIA, CRYPTOSPORIDIUM) THAT CAN MAKE YOU SICK AND
CAUSE DEHYDRATION TO BE EVEN WORSE.SHOW KIDS THEM HOW TO USE IT, AND EXPLAIN
THAT FLOWING WATER (RIVERS, CREEKS, AND STREAMS OF SNOWMELT) ARE SAFER DRINKING
OPTIONS THAN PUDDLES AND LAKES (STAGNANT WATER) BECAUSE OF LINGERING BACTERIA.
HERE ARE A FEW MORE WILDERNESS SURVIVAL SKILLS TO TEACH YOUR KIDS.
