- Backpacking with kids can be hard, but is incredibly rewarding and creates opportunities for memories they will never forget! I take my oldest daughter backpacking into the Uinta Mountains and have an amazing time catching fish and unexpectedly meeting up with my friends @ChristianPaulPhotography and @Packsalot

"Get your kids outside" what a great theme for the video. I am looking forward to the load out video for this trip. As a father you will never regret the time you put aside for your kids.
😁😁 thanks, David! That video is coming soon!
Yah I'm also excited for the load out, u have a daughter that is 5.5 yrs old so I'm thinking it will be time to take her soon enough, we already camo and hike a good bit so I'd like to start prepping early for more backpacking style.
Funny thing is, my son wants the heaviest pack he can get. I'm trying to limit him to 12lbs, but he says he wants to carry my pack (about 26lbs)...😅
Isn't this better than playing games on a screen? These are the adventures everyone will cherish for a long time! Thank you for sharing.
I have 12 and 5 yo grandkids and I've taken the 12yo on some multi-day trips both by myself and with his Dad. Thanks for making some family backpacking content like this. It's cool to see as 99% of what's out there is about backpacking with just the adults.
Very nice well put together video. Amazing memories made for everyone, especially Maylin. Well done on getting her outdoors and making it a special experience for her. It was a pleasure spending the weekend with you all. So much fun to witness that first fish for Maylin. Thanks for the shoutout and fun times. Can't wait to go again. Say hi to May from me. Have a wonderful day.
@@Packsalot thank you so much, Steve!
Could not stop smiling.
Incredible! I absolutely love this! So inspiring.
Thanks man!
This is the best!! You’re a great dad! This is exactly what my daughter loves to do too! Funny how much fun it is when you get out there!
Thank you!
Love hiking with my girlie!
This is the most wholesome backpacking video I've ever seen.
My daughter loved going hiking with Mom. She's an adult now and still goes hiking, backpacking, and did a van build. Also, I need to get a hiking stuffy
We all could use a hiking stuffie!
I love this! It makes me so happy to see people spending quality time with their kids, especially outside. You and your wife are awesome parents, and your daughter is going to cherish her memories!
Thank you!!!!
Mine stayed there with me and loved and still go do it to this day! One of the best things I ever taught them was to get outside
Awesome trip! So glad May enjoys the outdoors that much and you’re able to take the whole family out as much as you do! Rad dad Devin!
Thanks a ton man!
This is awesome! As a new father I'm really enjoying this family oriented video - hope to see more in the future!
Thank you!
Awesome video! Your daughter is adorable! This had to be quite the treat as a father. Thanks for sharing the experience with us.
😊😊 thank you!
You have an amazing daughter! So glad she loves backpacking!
I gotta say Devin, I’m a long time sub and I’ve seen and loved SO many of your videos but watching this one and seeing your dad side and the JOY this experience with your daughter brought you was so sweet! Thanks for sharing this and I wish you guys many more adventures and special memories! Happy trails and God bless!
Thank you so so much! I hesitated at first if even filming this trip, but I also wanted to share with my audience how fun it can be to be out with your kids. Thank you for sharing this. 😊
That was wonderful. I’m enjoying backpacking with my now 22 year old daughter. We always did day hikes but wanted to try backpacking a few years ago and love it. Great video. Certainly puts a smile on anyone’s face.
It's always great to take your kids out on adventures. I've taken two of my boys over the years and while only the youngest has enjoyed it I have memories to love of them having fun camping and backpacking. My youngest has signed up for an outdoor adventure club that his school has started. He can't wait for it.
Awesome! I love it!
Way to go May! Good fish. Good folks to meet up with. Great video Devin!
Thank you!!
Great Video Devin and awesome job May, catching a few fish! Thank you for sharing the experience with us.
Glad you enjoyed it!
So great. As a kid we went car camping a lot. Some of my favorite memories.
Camping, backpacking, hiking, fishing, riding bikes, it’s just about being outside together. 😊
Took each of the kids on self-supported camping bike touring trips on their own bikes starting at 8. Many, trips just the two of us. Such great memories. Now they go together, and have introduced friends to bike touring.
I'm moving into backpacking now, and one son enthusiastically joined me for an overnight recently and thanked me for inviting me. I told him it really was his gift to me!
The best is when they get big enough to carry most of the gear...😂
So much fun. I've been following your channel for a while. My son and I talked with you on the trail that day for a bit. Thanks for all you do. Great video with your daughter.
Ah yeah! Thanks for stopping to chat for bit!
This was just so wonderful. So much goodness packed in this trip! Your daughter is adorable and so fun!
Thank you!!
Love it! Can't wait to take my girls! A great video! Thank you for the content. Core memories unlocked!
This couldn't come at a better time! I've got my sons first backpacking trip with me coming up next week, and your videos on backpacking with kids have been invaluable Devin!
Ahhh rad! Dude have a great time!
Wow what a great trip. Does my heart good to see you guys spending time together. Wish there were more parents like you.
🦉
ahhh thank you! Just trying my best over here.
It was great running into you guys up there. May has a ton of character already, and it's great to see that she enjoyed her time with you so much.
Cherish that!
I couldn't pay my 15 year old daughter to go backpacking with me (she loves her Dad but not the outdoors).
Very cool. Congrats.
So awesome meeting you! Just a fun and memorable weekend!
Love this!!! Best video ever!
I love it we just took our first backing trips with our who is 15 he loved it. I wash we got our kids out early in life.😊
That is awesome!
Very cool man! Been backpacking with my daughter for a while now too and she always has a fix with her as well. Great stuff…thanks for sharing and encouraging others to get out with their kids.
Great job, Dad! Awesome memory for her and you!
Love this, Devin!
Good stuff. I have to do this with mini me soon ✌️
YES! Because we started our kids young on short trips like that, by the time my son was 10 he wanted to hike Pictured Rocks with me and finished the whole 42 miles with grit and determination and a lot of joy.
@@markrico1917 amazing! I love that!
That's great she likes backpacking. I've taken my nephews out and they seem to like it. Especially the fishing 😅 Seems no matter what I'll bring and carry way more stuff.
Ey nice fish!
“Dad it’s still filming.” @7:30😂
Woah, I didn't realize Miss Mae was the same age as Rugged Mountain Mister! I think Mr. Fox and Mearffy Elsa would get along famously! That "Not a joke" line by her at the lake reminded me of when Rugged Mountain Sister started to display a little teenager sass! Oh my gosh, reminds me of taking Kieryn (RMS) out! So awesome and so much fun! Ya the hiking community has always been super nice and encouraging to my kids as well! its one of the reasons I've stuck with it and brought them to so many meetups and trips! I'm glad to hear that I've got about the same weights dialed in for Mister and I that an experienced outdoorsman has. Fantastic video man!! Really enjoyed it!
Kids are amazing! I love how involved your kids are with everything too!
Most wonderful thing ever going out w your daughter!
Just had my daughter 2 months ago and already cogitating about future backpacking expeditions with the little girl, great timing for this. I'm going to give her a light jesting hard time and weigh those stuffed animals, tell her they better be multi use or they ain't coming.
@@danieldeviers9934 love it! Your sleep and her sleep will be better by having the stuffed animal with you! 😊😜
Awesome positive video!
I cannot wait to go out for Scottish adventures with my daughter(when she grows up a bit, she only 1 year and a half lol) I got my X-mid 2 and everything ready haha😅😂
This was such a great trip! Good times! Your daughter is adorable! Great to get out with you again Devin! 🥾
Seriously such a good time! Thank you my friend!
You are living the dream mate
Trying... but thank you!
There's been two videos since then, but neither the kid gear loadout video teased. I'm definitely interested in that! 🙂
Currently being edited. So it’ll be one of the next few videos! 😊
@@BackcountryExposure Awesome, glad to hear it! 😄
Thanks for this video! I had just asked about this on a previous video.
Great video. Got to get my kids out again
Well done Sir! I backpacked and camped with my boys a lot, but wish I had taken my daughter out.
Thanks! I love getting my girls out on the trail. My middle daughter is less enthusiastic about backpacking, but she still loves to camp. So I typically do car camp trips with her instead.
❤
Love this content! Inspiring and wholesome.
I'm curious how you choose your gear for a trip when you have a lot to chose from? For example, you have a fleet of sleeping pads. Why did you choose the Exped and the then Kilos? Also, you mentioned how much you like the REI Flash so why choose the Gregory on this trip? Genuinely curious because as I buy gear, I'm buying 1 of each needed item so I only need to make the decision once but you are making the decision each trip since you have a lot to choose from. What goes into those decisions?
Just started getting my 8yo son out camping a couple times this year. I was looking forward to a few more camps this year, but I just tore my meniscus (knee) and will be on crutches for 6 weeks...😢
Oh no! That’s not good! Hope you get a good recovery though!
What a great video! This was a welcome change from the normal hiking content and it looked like your daughter loved it! I'm working on making a kids backpack now and am excited to see the upcoming load out episode. Do you think the 20 liter size was ideal?
For a 10-14" torso, 20 liters is a good size. That's the issue with my daughter. She's got a 12" torso on a good day, and any of the 40 liter sized kids packs from REI, Osprey or Deuter are still too tall for her.
@@BackcountryExposure Thanks! I'm making the torso adjustable but she's at 13" right now so around 20 liters sounds right.
My daughter, the same age, has been asking to go with me. Unfortunately, I’m recovering from shoulder surgery right now. Any pointers outside, of smaller days, snacks, movies on your phone, and a card game? Also, what about the bathroom? How do you get them pumped up for that as most adults hate going in the woods, lol? I’m hoping I can take her in the fall. And great job dad!
Even just getting out for some car camping is good. It's just about getting outside and being together. :) Oddly enough, my girls prefer going in the woods than a pit toilet. But we also taught them super young to go, so they are used to it. Lots of encouragement, good vibes and making them feel comfortable will be good. Also, ha ha, pants down to the knees only, otherwise they pee into their pants. ha ha
@@BackcountryExposurethanks for the heads up. We have been car camping a bunch, but always with bathrooms. She really wants to go. Do you pre-dig a cat hole for her at camp? This is my biggest backcountry fear with my kiddo, lol
Have you heard of Mosquito Soap? Apparently, in countries qhere insects are a huge issue, they use a soap with natural ingredients that repells all sorts of insects and lasts all day. I want to try it.
I haven’t heard of that. I’ve seen all sorts of natural repellents. It was also just the peak of the hatch.
Devin, in the shadow did I see you using the Ace Pro with a small shotgun mic?
Darwin is nervously about to use one for the first soon.
@@JarradShaw yeah I filmed this on the Ace Pro with a Rode Video Micro. It did okay I think, but wouldn’t be my first choice for filming. The mic kind of gets in the way. A wireless lav mic is a better choice, but I needed to easily get my daughter talking too.
Good call. The DJI or rode wireless would have been better, but I totally see your point making sure your daughter was captured and heard.
I think the video was really good brother. Especially the picture quality. I am deeply amazed by that device.
My Grandpa took me fishing at 7, and when I caught one, he made me hit it over the head.😢 I never fished again.
Yowza!
well.. i don't need to do that
Wholesome video, but it would be great if we could teach the next generation how to be kind to ALL animals including fish. Teach them how to forage and grow their own food instead! 🌱💚✌🏽
Burning wood from a forest of small slow growing trees is not a good thing. So is maiming the fish that control insect life. Sorry if I offend you…
@@woodchip2782 you’re absolutely welcome to share your thoughts. 😊
You have an amazing daughter! So glad she loves backpacking!
