We have two tents and it has been 10 years since I camped. My girls are 3 and 7. My wife says let them test camping in the yard. What do you all suggest?

This week, I want to recognize Sharon Prahl. ✨ Sharon just hit a massive milestone in our community: Level 6 - Rarified Air! But what really stands out isn't just the rank; it's her attitude. As soon as she leveled up, she immediately turned around and thanked the community—shouting out members like @Jake Hill and @Jim Flach for helping her get those final points. She also put out a great reminder for everyone here, encouraging us all to check out the classroom, keep sharing our stories, and keep answering the polls. As she perfectly put it, "we learn so much from each other". That is exactly the kind of collaborative mindset that makes this campfire burn bright. Sharon is also building an incredible space over in her own community, Health Upgrader-. If you ever struggle with pain, lack of energy, or want to upgrade your health without the overwhelm, her group is dedicated to helping holistic-minded people gain physical and mental energy to fuel their missions. Sharon actually went from barely being able to walk a half-mile due to injury, to hiking the Grand Canyon in just 6 months—so she knows exactly what it takes to get back out on the trail! @Sharon Prahl — thank you for bringing your energy and for helping make this a space where we can all grow, learn, and stay in touch with the outdoor environments we love! 🤝 If you want to dial in your holistic foundation and get your energy right for the backcountry, her community is absolutely worth a look Link Here Where the Map Ends, The WILD begins!!
