I had no idea this sub forum existed. I grew up back packing in SW Florida. I've done good chunks of the AT mostly around the terminus's, but never thru hiked it. My tastes lean towards old school relatively heavy style of back packing on the cheap. Dry ramen smeared with lard and flavor packet sprinkled on cheap, thicken that with instant mash potatoes cheap. These days I mostly only get to hike the first 30-45 minutes of any trail I can get to easily in the cascades or east side seattle suburbs, with my four year old.

So like three threads I've tried post in and they've gone archival. Oh well.

Epitope posted:How do you enjoy hiking with your kid? . Patience, if he wants to stop a talk to a slime mold or throw rocks into a stream we stop a do that. I let him control the pace. Sometimes that means slow, slow, slow. Sometimes it means we a run for two miles. He's into documentaries and likes fungus, volcanos, and animals. So we try to look at those things. I also try to keep track of time and elevation changes. The goal is to get him tired without having to carry him back.
