>>48818take him out to controlled environments, such as the park, the wilderness preserve, botanical gardens, the zoo, baseball games, campgrounds with defined camp areas, that had running water and utilities.
atleast until the kid can form coherent sentences.
my friend takes his 5 year old camping, little Zach likes to carry his own gear, which is a small electric lantern, plastic hatchet, and spare change of clothes. along with 1-2 of his favorite toys. But they don't go innacanoe or innamountains, just to defined campgrounds right now, or backyard camping at my place (I own a few acres where i intend to put a small cabin, say a 3 room ,1 bath, 1 story thing with the kitchen being outdoors and a small forge/grill combo on the side for my fiance and I)
mainly, remember it's a baby. he can't explain or tell why he is covered in his own excrement, it just happened.
oh and your pack will be heavy as fuck with baby food, diapers, etc.
