I promise, you will NOT see myself, my wife, or our 3 week old daughter on the news for this stupidity.

In six years you may see an AAR of Savanah's first daddy-daughter camping trip, however.

The youngest I went camping with was four, and that worked pretty well for us. That was car camping, easy stuff.

Three weeks? heck, after four I'm still figuring out how to get out of the house to buy milk. I never mind trekking the Grand Canyon!

We took our son on his first overnighter when he was four (Years, not weeks), and that was at a drive-in Provincial Park. He's nine now and we just had what feels like our first season of serious camping, and even then, we weren't far from civilization.

I just don't get this.

Same here. The boy loved it; the only problem was I spent weeks after trying to keep him from peeing on the trees in the back yard. crazy

LOL! I think that's a right of passage for little boys.

No doubt! A walk in the woods still provokes that desire!
