Took my kids camping solo and we survived
My wife had a work thing so I packed up the truck with my 6 and 8 year old and we hit the trail. Made a fire, cooked hot dogs, told ghost stories, and nobody cried or complained. On the drive home my oldest said it was the best day ever. I'm still riding this high 3 days later.
Dude this is awesome! Camping with a 6 and 8 year old solo is no joke. How did you handle the bedtime routine in a tent? That's what I'm most nervous about for our first solo trip.
