Thank you for showing them fall mine falls a lot too and was beginning to think she was the only one 😂

[@joshuabiggerstaff5722]

What’s the furthest hike you’ve done with kids?
Thanks for the transparency!

[@sowewent]

When they were in packs before they could walk 13 miles. Now that they hike we do anything from 0.5-3 miles in a day. On day hikes we just go and meander but if we are backpacking we pick short trails to keep it fun.

I bet those kids slept good after that hike.

My nine year old one mile into the five mile trail “I’m tired how much farther?” “Can we turn around???” 😑

[@zyourzgrandzmaz]

Parents fault for telling the nine year old they're going on a small walk than take you on the path your grandparents went to school on .
My dad was terrible he'd pack a single bottle of water and a few Pepsi's. Than wed go on a 9 hours hike in 30° weather. One of my siblings would always throw up or pass out by the end.

I can imagine any predator eyeing up those little snacks.

[@petrap1769]

they are way too small for that. selfish parents

[@Uncle_Jacob]

Too small for what LoL

[@apollinevilbois7212]

On the contrary, it's much more bénéficient for them than staying at home and being overprotected

[@SPCLPONY]

Those kids are lucky having parents that do something good with them versus just handing them a cellphone or video game.
