Backpacking Childs Equipment - A Pack
for Every Lil' Camper

Backpacking childs equipment will be no where near as heavy as the gear carried by an adult. A child feels all grown up hiking along a mountain trail with their own backpacking gear on his/her back. However, the amount of gear they carry has to be in proportion to the child's size. An adult usually accompanies a child on any such outdoor backpacking or camping trip. The heavier gear, such as a stove will be in the adult's backpack. Adults also have to be careful that the child's gear itself is suitable and will not put any undue strain on the back and shoulders.

Backpacking equipment for kids includes a smaller scale of items including food, clothing, first aid supplies and water. An overnight trip in an outdoor environment should have a sleeping bag on the backpacking checklist of necessary gear. And it's always nice to have a warm snack or a hot drink if the weather is cold.
