Title: Re: how young is too young? Post by Seymour on Sep 6th, 2010 at 9:30pm
Josh,
Firstly, go for it! Also, there is some discussion threads here that I posted (you might want to search this forum for and likely info from way before my time) regarding taking my infant ( at the time 9 month) - some of the feed back was awesome, especial route planning and comments from those that suggest you don't take children in the backcountry? My wife and I took our boy when he was 9 month this past spring out for 2 nights on a 1 hr long paddle for the weekend to an island on a local lake. He was not crawling then so things were super easy. From there we continued and even went with others who had infants/toddlers and things were great. In early Aug. we hit Q for a week and that's when he was really mobile and still we all enjoyed the trip. TV doesn't interest him to sit and watch, but the colors of trees, sounds of birds and fire all make he sit and enjoy what the woods can offer. Feel free to send person post if you want other info and gear, portaging, etc. Seymour |
