You're never too young to go camping and canoeing. Certified canoeing instructors Rolf and Debra Kraiker have paddled thousands of miles together. Their sons, Kyle and Brendan, ages 9 and 12, have logged more wilderness miles than most adults three times their ages. In this compilation of practical advice and personal anecdotes, the Kraikers, both certified canoeing instructors, provide expert guidance on such topics as introducing children to the wilderness, preparing formula in the bush, choosing and packing food, selecting the right camping gear and clothing, training young paddlers, ensuring safety in all situations, and campsite activities to keep young campers, from infant to teenager, occupied and entertained.

This review is from: Cradle to Canoe: Camping and Canoeing With Children (Paperback)
The overall content of the book is decent. The author clearly knows their stuff about camping/canoeing with babies & toddlers. There's lots of books out there on how to car-camp with your kids, this was the best book I found talking about really camping - tents, wilderness, no water, no bathroom type of camping. Makes it a rare gem. The most useful part for us was the checklists in the back. We've gotten waaaay better at not forgetting things because of those lists.
