Hey all,

I know that many of you have kids and would like to get them into survival and camping. This summer I am going to the Kids school for Tom Brown's Tracker school. It is called Children of the earth foundation. (you can look it up here) It looks very promising as I am not old enough to go to his tracker school. I have looked and can;t find any reviews anywere, probably becasuae many of the people who go there are kids, like me. So I will give an unbiassed report when I get back (im leaving in either may or augest) I don't know why im telling you this now...it just crossed my mind. Just wondering if anyone would like a review of this or not for your children.

I bet you'll have a great time, and learn a great deal too! I posted some pics last summer of our Wilderness Survival merit badge experience with the boys. I was an advisor on the trip. I posted some photos of the shelters they built, and slept in through the rain in this post over on the Survival Forum:

I have read some of Tom Brown's stuff, seems to have a pretty good background. Have an open mind, listen to your instructor, and enjoy being out there!

Be Prepared!

I look forward to reading your review of the Children of the Earth Foundation Course.

So far I've been to the Tracker School Standard course and I loved it. If your time at CoEF is anything like it you'll learn a lot and have a very rewarding experience.

Sounds great!
