Babes in the Woods: Hiking, Camping and Backpacking with Babies and Young Children, a book project by Alaska instructor, parent educator and mother Jennifer Aist. Paperback. From the author: "This book is the product of miles and miles of trails with my four children either in my belly, on my back or on my heels. Perhaps more importantly, it is a product of many families learning to camp and returning home to share their expertise. From their travels and my own, I have learned hundreds of tips and tricks to make the wilderness more accessible for you and your kids. This book is intended to not only inspire families to adventure with their young children, but also educate them so that they have a safe and meaningful experience. You’ll feel equipped to plan a short day hike, a car camping trip, base camping adventure, boating excursion or backpacking trip. It is my most sincere hope that it will help more and more families begin a tradition of sharing our great backcountry with their children."
