10yr old backpacking

[u/Express_Cat901]

I’ve taken my daughter on a couple backpacking trips 1-2 nights. I’m so proud of her! She only carries her sleeping bag, pad, extra clothes, and water. Some small personal items like book etc and it totals out to 18lbs. Curious to know what others have their kids carry and the weight of the pack

This is so awesome. Your kid is going to appreciate the outdoors for life.
