My wife and I have a one year old girl. We have done a fair amount of car camping and day hiking, but want to go on an overnight backpacking trip with her for the first time. Bear in mind we have to dogs that will be with us as well. We are planning on buying a backpack style baby carrier as our girl is getting to big for the "Ergo" carrier momma usually uses.
Soooooo, here is the plan. We hike about a 10 mile loop. 6-7 miles on day one, remainder on day 2. Momma carries the baby in the carrier and some food. Daddy carries 2 lightweight backpacking tents that we own. One for me and the dogs, and one for Mom and Baby. I will also carry 3 sleeping pads, water filter, water, food, and sleeping bags for the 3 humans. The dogs will be packed w/ dog food and dog water.
So what are your thoughts??? What temps are too low? Can you recommend a chiropractor?, does anybody have experience backpacking w/ a baby? etc.....
Thanks in advance
