003: Beginner Backpacking with Kids | Stephanie | The Backpacking Mom

Backpacking sounds so awesome, but is it really possible with kids?

Yup! And, believe it or not, it can even be fun!

And, our guest today is here to prove it to you. I'm stoked to share this chat with Stephanie from The Backpacking Mom where she shares how she fell in love with backpacking from the start. Full show notes here.

I love the story of her very first backpacking trip, where she didn't have all the things, but went anyway.

Spoiler alert: She loved it.

And, the lessons she shares from a trip that didn't go quite (okay, at all 😅) as planned.

We get into all the key things you need to get started, including:

• What you REALLY need for your first trip
• Precautions to take for wildlife
• The key to managing stressful situations with kids
• How she deals with changes in her kids' sleep schedules
• Two items that make her nights a LOT more comfortable
• And lots more....

Enjoy!
