Hello #gearmeout crew! Excited to talk mishaps with kids tonight. We have ...ahem. a few of those! :)

replying to @Todd_the_Hiker @Todd_the_Hiker @UST_Survival So adorable! I love their trekking poles! Too cute! #gearmeout

Q1: What disasters have you been an unwilling participant in while taking kids outdoors? #GearMeOut


replying to @UST_Survival @UST_Survival @kokuaelli Greetings #GearMeOut from the San Francisco Bay Area where I'm back from Mexico.


replying to @naturetechfam @naturetechfam It's all about the campfire stories, at least that's how I look at it! #gearmeout

A1: #GearMeOut Honestly I don't want to be a willing Participant in any disaster. But Kids have a Nack for finding trouble.

replying to @UST_Survival @UST_Survival A1: This one time, when my kid was a toddler, he walked right into a duck pond. Guess he decided it w… https://t.co/zZBK7e6Sk0

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 @kokuaelli That looks like a fun beach, not too great for hiking though. #GearMeOut

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 @UST_Survival Nice! Hopefully no mishaps there - it's too beautiful! #Gearmeout

replying to @beckyjlomax @beckyjlomax @kokuaelli @TRooseveltNPS Sounds like an amazing reason to miss the chat though! I hope you have fun. #GearMeOut

replying to @kokuaelli @kokuaelli @UST_Survival That was their Christmas gift from Grandma and Grandpa...they needed their own hiking sticks, of course! #GearMeOut

replying to @UST_Survival @UST_Survival @kokuaelli Actually the water was shallow enough to walk all the way past the rock in the distance. #GearMeOut

replying to @sue_squared @sue_squared @UST_Survival That's awesome! Hopefully it was warm enough for a swim! #Gearmeout

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 @UST_Survival @kokuaelli How was the trip? #GearMeOut

replying to @kokuaelli @kokuaelli @UST_Survival not really. although it was summer in Newfoundland. but even then it was a cool day. #gearmeout

replying to @kokuaelli @kokuaelli @UST_Survival Only a rearend accident earlier in the day. #GearMeOut

replying to @Todd_the_Hiker @Todd_the_Hiker @UST_Survival That's a sign of good times though. #Gearmeout

replying to @UST_Survival @UST_Survival Yeah, at least they were still small enough to carry back, so they didn't get dehydrated. But we sure did! #GearMeOut

replying to @UST_Survival @UST_Survival A1: The whining and crying of “are we done yet” starting 1/4 mile in. #GearMeOut

replying to @kokuaelli @kokuaelli @UST_Survival It most certainly is...there is no such thing as a mud puddle that can't be crossed! #GearMeOut

replying to @naturetechfam
@naturetechfam @UST_Survival That's the worst we've had too. With nowhere to fill up, everyone falls apart.
#Gearmeout

Q2: What lesson did you learn from a mishap when you were a kid that you still remember? #GearMeOut


replying to @sue_squared @sue_squared @kokuaelli I wonder what the ducks thought of the whole experience. #GearMeOut

replying to @RCGibby73 @RCGibby73 @UST_Survival Ooooh, that's our favorite. (sarcasm). LOL #gearmeout

A2: #GearMeOut I remember this very well. Just because a leaf is green and large does not mean its part of the lett… https://t.co/UYJhuXE7Tb

replying to @sue_squared @sue_squared @UST_Survival Yikes. Not good. If it was somewhere warm, I'm sure that would be much better. #gearmeout

replying to @UST_Survival @UST_Survival @kokuaelli they freaked out and swam away really fast LOL #gearmeout
