Everyone benefits from being in the outdoors, and bushcraft helps us understand nature more and connect to it better. Bushcraft for children is a way to teach them what nature can provide for them, and they bond with nature. They learn life skills through bushcraft, have a lot of fun, and it is also a way for families to spend some …
In previous posts I have written about tips for hiking with children (and ultimately surviving the hike!), and the benefits of hiking with children, so in this post I want to provide a guide to packing – a hiking with children packing checklist. This is not really about what they are wearing, I’d like to assume they already have proper footwear and appropriate outdoor …
Earlier this winter I wrote about trying to get a space on Fjällräven Polar. An adventure of a lifetime. However, only 20 people would get selected from all over the world. The first person for each region was chosen on votes (the person from my region had over 20000 votes…I do not know that many people), so competition was very strong …
I love all the seasons, and I am not sure I favour one more than the others. However, when the seasons start changing and moving on, I am always ready for a change and love what the next one might bring – especially now that we live somewhere that has four distinct seasons! So, now that winter is well and …
I spend most of my blogging energy on encouraging and helping families get outdoors for adventures in nature’s playground. Either through practical advice and tips, or suggestions of where to go or what to do. However, it is a long time since I had a Mamma sized adventure, and recently I heard about the Fjällräven Polar expedition. I thought for all …
Outdoor play and nature play are so important for children. However, one thing us adults are generally not so good at, is encouraging them outdoors in the rain. Children love the rain, on the whole, and love to play in the rain. For one reason or another though, us more “sensible” grown ups have a habit of teaching them to be averse to …
Even with all the fun plans in the world, if your children’s outdoor clothing does not keep them warm and dry, if they aren’t very easy to use and put on, and if they’re not comfortable to move in, you will certainly know about it in the form of a good old moan and whinge. However, with the right children’s outdoor …
We have explored Tromtö naturreservat in every season now, and it never disappoints. Carpets of leaves underfoot, wildlife in abundance, woodland trails, and sudden views out over the water all make this a beautiful and tranquil place to explore. Background Information About Tromtö Naturreservat: You will find the nature reserve out of Karlskrona on the E22 in a westerly direction, …
I thought it might be nice to focus on a piece of our outdoor kit that we use, explain about it, and discuss it a little. So for today’s blog post I have chosen our waffle iron that we sometimes use outdoors on the campfires during our hikes. What Is Our Campfire Waffle Iron? The waffle iron we use on …
Geocaching is something we have had a lot of fun with. It has an ulterior motive though for me, and that is it’s a way to keep my three little people going on a hike. Although you can find geocaches in urban areas as well. The distraction of a “treasure hunt” is enough to make them forget their grumbles out …
