Wild | Life Outdoor Adventures Review – Kit #6: Go Boldly

Inside each Wild | Life Adventures kit you will find everything you need to create a new and amazing adventure outside in your backyard or in the backcountry.

This month’s activities include: The Sky is Not the Limit (Exploring Above), Dig Deep (Exploring Below), and Outside In (Exploring Within).

Each of the Pack-tivity cards clips nicely inside your Field Notes journal (from kit #1:Bear Essentials Kit) for future use and to take with you while you are out exploring. Each month there are three tri-fold activity cards.

The activity cards will provide you with many tips and facts about how to use the items and equipment in the kit. Each of these cards provides fun activities and inspiration to get outside as a family and explore the wide world we live in.

#1 The Sky is Not the Limit: All about exploring above. How to use your binoculars (very informative even for an adult!), using your binoculars to see stars and constellations, different phases of the moon and how to make a lunar calendar, and bird-watching information (common Canadian birds and interactive bird identification map app)

#2 Dig Deep: All about exploring below. Understanding the history of our world and ancient civilizations through knowledge of the different types of rocks (Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic), observe and learn by collecting your own rocks, how to make an underwater viewer to see the different Canadian Freshwater fish in the lakes and rivers and a backyard bug exploration game.

#3 Outside In: All about exploring within. Becoming an explorer while practicing mindfulness to help see and appreciate your adventures and surroundings, create a sound map about what you hear, collect samples of things you can sketch, target practice with your slingshot, get to know a tree, and all about summit flags.

Our last camping trip of the year was at Upper Lakes in Kananaskis, Alberta. The perfect day for a hike near the lake.

Recommendations: Another exciting Wild Life Outdoor Adventures kit put to good use by our family! So many fun games, educational learning activities, and awesome gear. Our collection of great quality outdoor gear for the kids has been expanding, thanks to these Wild | Life kits. The items that we have been receiving in each Wild | Life box are so awesome that even us parents want to use them all the time. We really do take that backpack from kit #1 on all our outdoor adventures (see the reviews for the other boxes here). Just when we think we have found our favorite outdoor item from one box, the next box has something just as great or better! For me, the binoculars are that item! As a family, we have at least two pairs of binoculars that we have had for well over a decade but used less than a handful of times. I could never see great out of them so didn’t like using them. With the binoculars from this box… I can see everything perfectly! Everything is in focus and they are comfortable to use. I guess you could say these binoculars are now a “staple” for our outdoor adventures. As a family, these boxes continue to blow our minds, month after month.
