    Hi Mari! Just started watching your videos and love them! I have a little one of my own and I am going to fully introduce her to camping and hiking this year! What is the backpack you use to carry your boy? I’m looking for good recommendations, as there are soooo many out there and I want to get a good one!

    Hi! Excited for you to start some adventures. This is a Deuter kid comfort 3 - I think they have a newer version of it now. I know what you mean, there’s so many! I think you should try on a few if you can though, as they fit everyone differently

    Is it possible to do a couple nights without someone else carrying the gear? My man does not backpack.

  • @mari.johnson
    @mari.johnson2 ай бұрын

    If you have to carry your child, it might be difficult but doable! I recently did an overnight with my son and he mostly walked, but part of the time I carried him in a front pack. I carried all of our stuff in a regular hiking backpack. I’d also recommend going with friends if you can!

    I like videos that are impersonal like this. Some videos get caught up just narrating their life too much that the info I came here for is lost somewhere in the middle of their life novel. Thank you for very organized tutorial.

    I´m from France. I see that the film The Lion King has been translated and is now possible to watch it in Te reo Maori. When that big lion said "Chur bro" did they translate that into Te reo Maori or is "Chur bro" already Te reo Maori?
