This is one of our favorite companies – Backyard Safari! If you read KLY, you know Rosie was in a nature-based preschool and we were fortunate to get her into a similar charter school for next year. We are big believers in the advantages of exploring the great outdoors – at any age!
Backyard Safari makes products that encourage children to find the fun in exploring the world around them. And stay safe doing it. They have three new products and we were fortunate to try two of them this afternoon. Both were big hits, hard to choose a favorite. Every hiker needs a good walking stick. Rosie and I had a blast, using it to check for quicksand and dodge imaginary alligators that hide in the swamps. The head of our walking stick is wolf and Rosie promptly made up a story about how it keeps us safe from wild wolves and other creatures. She even did a fun “howl at the moon”!
After exploring our imaginary swamp and being chased by alligators, we set up Base Camp. The Base Camp Shelter came with a badge/patch and a Field Guide that included several “missions”. What adult kid doesn’t love patches and missions! I am absolutely no good at setting up tents/assembling anything and I was able to put together the Base Camp Shelter pretty easily. The pole system is very cool – easy to put together and take down.
After we put up our Base Camp Shelter, it was time for lunch and this was the perfect place to enjoy cheese sandwiches, yogurt and bananas. Can I admit that lunch is my favorite part of adventure? Rosie had a blast hanging her lantern from the roof of the shelter and arranging her field guides and gear in the net pockets on the side wall. She imagined there was a storm and we were taking shelter, safe from the elements.
Backyard Safari’s gear will help you and your kids enjoy exploring nature with guides, instructions, ideas, and just cool stuff! Everything we have tried from them has been high quality, rugged, and appealing to kids and adults alike.
Are you ready to explore? Backyard Safari has a FREE pdf of their Essential Field Gear Pop-Up Field Guide. It includes these handy 10 field tips, plus great ideas to get you started on your own safari! And enter to win this Backyard Safari Outfitters Adventurer Kit: “Gear up for adventure with this VALUE PACK of field essentials.The WATER TIGHT CASE is like an extra pocket for keeping valuables safe and dry. The RETRACTABLE CARABINER CLIP attaches easily to belts, packs, or cargo vest. Lets small gear and other gizmos extend 14†then zip quickly out of the way.
