How to Get Started With Having A Child?
Hi new dad here of a 2 month old. When I was in my early 20s I went on a month long backpacking trip in Utah and lived in Bend, OR for a couple years and did so much camping and outdoors stuff. It was truly the best thing. I’ve been out of the game for about 12 years as careers and life happened 😭 over the past year after finding out we are having a baby the one thing I want to raise my child with in mind is being outdoors. We actually are planning to move to another state that has better options because our current state, Indiana, sucks.
How early did you guys start camping with your little ones? I have about 10 acres in the woods and I’m thinking next year to do some back yard camping at our house to get him used to it and eventually graduating and take him camping in state parks. Is there any advice for a new dad about getting your kid into camping would be great!
