Just got back from a 3 day camping trip with my 8 and 5 year old. No mom. I packed everything myself, set up the tent, cooked meals over the fire, and nobody got lost. We caught some fish, told ghost stories, and slept under the stars. They said it was the best trip ever and want to go again next month. I'm riding this high for weeks.
This is the kind of thing they'll remember forever. You crushed it out there and proved you can handle anything parenting throws at you.
Dude, that's awesome! Solo camping with two kids is no joke. You're basically a superhero now in their eyes.
Three days solo with two kids camping? That's not just a win, that's Hall of Fame material. How did you manage the sleeping situation? That's always my biggest concern.
And you packed it all yourself? My hat's off to you man. I still need my wife's input on what to bring even though I've done this a hundred times.
This is awesome. I did a solo camping trip with my two and it was way harder than I expected but also way more rewarding. Did your kids sleep okay in the tents?
Surviving camping solo with an 8 and 5 year old definitely counts as not dying. That's legitimately impressive logistical work.
Three days solo with two kids and you handled it. That's a legitimate victory lap right there. Did you have any close calls or did everything actually go smoothly?
This is huge. A lot of dads don't even attempt the solo camping trip. You packed for two kids, set up camp, dealt with the inevitable issues. You earned this win.

No mom, you did the packing, you handled everything. That's the real test of dad capabilities and you passed. Did the kids sleep okay in the tent or was that a battle?
