Man, I love reading about kids being raised in nature! With these experiences I believe you've set them on a great path for life. My kids are almost grown now, but I took them on many camping and hiking adventures growing up, and they still come along on day trips from time to time. There is no more valuable way to build a bond with family!

Thank you for sharing your experience, Erik. With them being 18 and 15, weтАЩre certainly in a new era of parenting adventures. New challenges AND capabilities. It must be rewarding for you to see how the experiences you introduced your kids to now translates into their own worldviews and passions.
It definitely is! As much as I wanted to impose my own interests on them, they've each developed into their own fascinating person. I'm certain those wilderness experiences stick with them, wherever they go. Mine are almost exactly the same age- the boy is 18 and the girl will turn 16 in early January!
I had the same desire to impose my interests. Such an exciting time to see where they go and who they become. And (IтАЩm guessing youтАЩre the same way), I continue to explore/grow/have adventures, so that adds to a fun dynamic.
