Good stuff. Will keep this in mind this year.

Thank you! Glad it was helpful.

Thanks for the video. You always have great ideas! Perhaps I should make a candy trail for newb friends. 🍬

Thank you! There is something special about candy!

Great tips Neal, some of those edits remind me of our trips as kids to R-ranch and Tahoe. You guessed it it's Curtis. Loving your channel. I'm into edc items myself. Very good to see you and I hope to catch up sometime soon!🙏

Great hearing from you! So many fun memories from R-Ranch and Tahoe. I haven't thought about R-Ranch in a while. I did move to Tahoe after high school and loved living up there! Let's connect. What's the best way?

Would you recommend doing any exercises for your kids to get them in shape?

One of the things that I do with our kids as we go on what we call a family walk almost every night after dinner. I also like to walk my son to school. I think that helps just get them outside. Get them used to moving his legs and it also gives us more time to talk. When my daughters and I were training for half dome, we did a lot of hikes around our Area and we would also walk in our neighborhood at night.
