WILD CAMPING WITH A YOUNG TODDLER | Camping and hiking in Scotland's mountains with a one-year old

In today's video, we take you with us on our first weekend of wild camping and hiking in Scotland since we had our son who is now a 23 months old toddler. I was a little nervous about wild camping with a young toddler but we had such a lovely time. I share share some tips with you along the way on what did to make sure it was enjoyable for successful and everyone.
Thanks so much for watching!

Have you tried camping with your little ones? How have you enjoyed it? Do you have any tips to share? We had a lovely first wild camping trip with Ben and we are so thankful the 5 mile travel limit has been lifted now in Scotland and we can get back to the mountains!

[@BairnandaBackpack]

Replied! Happy adventuring!

I’m planning on a camping trip with my 4 year old daughter soon I’m excited I can’t wait

[@BairnandaBackpack]

@@babycrow8261 Have a brilliant time. 😀

Wow so beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Prepping for a 3 day camping with my 19 month son.

[@CissaCarvalho]

This is so awesome. I have a 28 month old but we don't do munros with her yet as she likes properly walking and stops a lot to explore. She won't stay on the carrier for too long! We've not tried wild camping over the weekends yet but she absolutely loved our spring camping holiday last year.

[@BairnandaBackpack]

It takes so long to get anywhere with toddlers! 😂 Have fun when you finally do get the chance to camp and happy exploring!

[@chrishatton865]

Hi absolutely love your chanel.. I'm a big time camper but had a 3 year holiday when I had my daughter. Looking at taking her on her first camp 🏕next month.. wish me luck 🙏.. I firmly believe some of the best memories a parent and child can make are when out camping..wholesome family values.. 👪💯💙

[@BairnandaBackpack]

Aww, you'll have the best time! Enjoy your new adventures together! Totally agree - outdoor time is the best possible family time. 😁

Hey, ihr drei! 😉 So cool, euch auf KZbin sehen zu können! 👍 😁 Ben wächst und wächst... 🙈 😂 Sicher mein persönlichstes Abo ever! 😂 Liebe Grüße aus dem Allgäu Manne✌️

[@BairnandaBackpack]

Hey Manne, danke für den netten Kommentar :) Hoffentlich können wir auch bald wieder in den Allgäuer Bergen unterwegs sein. Liebe Grüße aus Schottland! 😃

[@rachaeldoherty4060]

What a fantastic experience for Ben from such a young age! Thanks for making camping with a toddler seem so easy and fun!!

[@BairnandaBackpack]

He is a star and makes it easy and fun for us. Thanks for making a guest appearance in the video! ❤️

[@stumpyjumper88]

Great video! Looking forward to camping with my 3 year old after lockdown!

[@BairnandaBackpack]

Have fun! I love making these memories that will last a lifetime for them. We are desperate to get back out too and so missing the freedom to roam Scotland's beautiful mountains! ❤️

[@SarahRichardsGraba]

Thank you for this! I found your channel from your hiking video when i started hiking with my then 9mo old at the beginning of summer... She just turned one and I'm going to try camping with her next weekend! I'll be with a group but my spouse is staying home, so I'm a bit nervous but your video helps me feel confident that I can do it. Thank you again!

[@BairnandaBackpack]

Good luck Sarah! You'll rock it with your little one and you'll be making amazing memories too! Have fun. ❤️

[@OlliesDadventures]

Totally showing this to my wife to persuade her to allow me to take my little girl wild camping 😜😜 Done 5 wild camps in the Lake District with my 5 year old son but really want to spend the same quality time with the wee lassie too! Thanks for showcasing the possibilities. Do you still get out together? ❤

[@conornisbet1264]

Best video yet!! A great watch!

[@BairnandaBackpack]

It had some great guest stars, what can I say?!?

[@caroljenkins54]

Looks like great fun and the Scottish scenery looks amazing!

[@BairnandaBackpack]

It was beautiful! So lucky to live in such a stunning country!

[@MiyakoFromJAPAN]

Everyone look so happy going camping and hiking! Thank you for showing the nature. It is s o beautiful, I miss Scotland!

[@BairnandaBackpack]

We had a lovely time. Come back and visit any time! ❤️

What a beautiful landscape!!!

[@BairnandaBackpack]

We are certainly lucky to live in 'bonnie Scotland'. Thanks for watching!

[@BairnandaBackpack]

We are so lucky!

[@PracticalMom]

I loved this! Thank you for sharing your experience, products and tips! You live in a beautiful country with the most ideal and scenic camping locations. I am a little jealous

[@BairnandaBackpack]

Aww, that you so much for watching. I am indeed very lucky to have such beautiful mountains so close to where we live. ❤️

[@swilhelm3180]

It truly is remarkable how we perceive nature when very young like we see here. I really doubt if its necessary to bring toys for children or even if it its wise because most young people will explore nature though of course, one needs to vigilantly watch them all the time, especially if its rough terrain. If there are toys they're more likely to draw less of nature into those growing minds and just focus on the toy which of course they have at home. Seeing him draw on the walls with the charcoal: How many adults would think of using nature's pencil like that? Pretty resourceful at 2 years old!

[@cuddlepotbootcamp]

This was so very lovely!

[@BairnandaBackpack]

Aww, thank you! I loved recording this memory for Ben. ❤️

[@gettingoutwiththekids]

Love how you can wild camp in Scotland, cant do that in England except a few areas. Lovely scenery.

[@BairnandaBackpack]

We are so very lucky! Hopefully it can stay that way if people respect the nature and take everything home with them! Thanks so much for watching. ❤️

[@MountainsPassionPetrDakota]

Very nice ! Brought back good memories from our 1st family camping in a similar family tent in Cairngorms years ago when our daughter was 2 years old. I remember to carrying her on my back in a baby/todler carrier up to the mountains tops in the 1st years...fortunately she is walking the hills now with me, using her legs 😁 Well done you all to making it together 👍

[@BairnandaBackpack]

Aww. Sounds like you had a lovely time and so amazing you have always shared your love of the mountains with your little girl. I am definitely looking forward to our little one being old enough to take to the hills himself and lighten our load. I can't wait to get back to sleeping on the mountains too once we don't have to carry him as well as the camping equipment! ❤️

[@avadiahhallel9119]

Beautiful video and family! I thoroughly enjoyed:) I've always been interested in what it would be like to go camping with a little one. I would love to someday!

[@BairnandaBackpack]

I was a little unsure before we decided to try it but it was so worth it. Thanks so much for checking out my video! ❤️

[@SorgiStories]

And I thought a 6 hour driving trip from Milwaukee to St. Louis with a toddler (giving my wife four days off) was an adventure! This is awesome...and someday HAVE to get to that beautiful terrain. Red button smashed, fellow family storyteller!

[@BairnandaBackpack]

That sounds like quite an adventure too. We visited Wisconsin a few years ago and loved it. Milwaukee is beautiful! You'd love Scotland. It is indeed beautiful! Thanks for checking out my channel! ❤️

[@SorgiStories]

@@BairnandaBackpack You got it! Thank you! Milwaukee & Wisconsin are places you could easily miss...and miss a treasure trove of amazing experiences. Probably, in some ways, like Scotland!

[@suzannethomson8175]

Loved this video! Beautiful landscapes and happy campers...what more do you need?! 😊

[@BairnandaBackpack]

Absolutely. Very happy (and one exceptionally cute) campers. We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful country!

[@SevenInAll]

Your pictures of the "view" at the summit when there was no view at all made me smile. Yep, that's how well the weather cooperates sometimes! You guys are very brave to camp with your little one! I'll be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of camping, although I haven't actually tried it since I was growing up. The scenery around where you guys camped almost makes me want to rough it out for a night, haha!

[@BairnandaBackpack]

Hehe. Yes, that's the weather in Scotland! Luckily Ben seems to enjoy being in the mountains just as much as we do we so he makes it easy! Camping is just such a great way to explore Scotland. Thanks so much for watching! ❤️

[@gurjitsidhu]

brilliant video Kara!! Can’t believe I came across this video! Hope you are doing well :) I want to go camping with my almost 3 year old but last time I camped was for DOE when everything’s planned for you haha. This video has been helpful ❤I’ll check out your other ones too

[@BairnandaBackpack]

Hey! What a small world! 🌎 We now have our 5 year old Ben and 1 year old twins and have upgraded to a campervan. Still exploring the mountains though! Give us a shout if we can help with your adventures! ♥️ Hope your whole family are well!

[@ruizhang4231]

Lovely camping experience! I loved your views from top of the mountains. We actually just had our first camping with the boys last week. They loved it, although I didn't sleep very well😂

[@BairnandaBackpack]

Hehe. I didn't sleep very well either with Ben practically on top of me. He was so excited to be sleeping in the middle of us! 😂

Its really beautiful

[@janamariehristova9658]

Wow, so beautiful. Now I really want to come see Scotland. That's great that you can still wild camp there. BTW, we have the same cook stove and it's fan for keeping in the car for those spontanious cook outs.

[@BairnandaBackpack]

We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful country and have the opportunity to camp wherever we wish. The cooker is great, so compact and easy to take everywhere! Thanks for watching Jana! ❤️

[@janamariehristova9658]

Thank you for making such great and interesting videos. I really appreciate them.

[@alyshock22]

The landscape looks amazing. We just bought mattresses from Vango, I didn't know it's a scottish brand :)

[@BairnandaBackpack]

It is indeed so beautiful and we were so thankful to be outdoors in the mountains after having a 5 mile travel restriction for so long! I appreciated it so much! Thanks for watching Alexandra!

[@ClaireIona]

Awww I so wanna go camping 😁💖 awww look at Ben sleeping hehehe 😅 My brother is Robin from the KZbin channel walk with Wallace not sure if you’ve heard of him but does a lot of wild camping. I’ll have to bug him until he takes us hehe 😁💖 That looks like a great tent we could do with a bigger one. Aww looks Ben had a fantastic time it’s a great idea drawing on the wall with caracole 😁💖 #leavenotrace 😁 it’s so true we gotta take all of our stuff with us there should only be flat grass left behind. It would be lovely to collab some time and maybe even meet up and do a camp 😁💖 Looks like a brilliant trip really enjoyed watching 💜💜

[@BairnandaBackpack]

Aww Claire, I will need to check out your brother's channel! Sounds awesome. We had such a great time and Ben so loves it. That would be lovely! Send me an email (it's in the description) and we can absolutely have a chat about a collab at some point! We are lucky enough to live in such a beautiful place. ❤️
