There’s no richer classroom than the one found in the great outdoors. Nature has a lot to teach our kids. There are of course the concrete skills — the knots and fire-starters and natural fishing lures you find in Boy Scout manuals or the mind of Bear Grylls. The softer skills are no less profound: stewardship and humility and how to “live deliberately,” as the great outdoorsman Thoreau put it. Still, nature can be harsh and as parents, we need to guide them. To home in on the parental tools needed to safely navigate this rich and varied world, we asked some of the biggest names in adventure and asked them for the single most important skill they’ve passed (or plan to pass) down to their children. The result is a master class in adventure skills, for parents to explore and kids to learn.
