Wild | Life Outdoor Adventures Review – Kit #4: Take Cover
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 back-country.
This month’s activities include: Wild Shelters, Tarp Master, and Base Camp.
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 Wild Shelters: Learn about animal shelters, where the best place to build your own shelter, about debris hunts, and fun did-you-know facts.
#2 Tarp Master: Different ways to rig up a tarp, tie a taut-line knot, a step-by-set guide to setting up your tarp shelter, fun games to play out in nature, and how to tell how much daylight is left using your hand.
#3 Base Camp: Creative ideas to use your imagination and some decorations for your shelter: lights, lanterns, creating a communication device out of tin cans, extra protection from the elements, a welcome sign, painted rocks, or building a trellis. Did you know facts and great card game ideas.
Enjoying the last weekend of warm summer camping, until the snow came. Staying up late to check out the tarp tent in the dark and craft glow stick toilet paper animal eyes for their camp (idea from Kit #2: Into the Night)
Recommendations: My husband and I cannot believe how amazing the Wild | Life Outdoor Adventures kits are! Each box is very well thought out, with a great mixture of crafts, facts, and learning while getting outside in nature. We have received a few different Wild | Life Outdoor Adventure boxes to review over the last few months and are constantly blowin’ away! (See the reviews for the other boxes here.) My kids and their friend had so much fun with this box on our recent camping trip in Kananaskis, Alberta. Upon arrival at the campsite, they immediately set up their tarp (with some help) and continued building and playing in their homemade camp over the course of the weekend. They were constantly using items and building crafts from this kit and their past kits. I love how each of these kits builds on the previous kits adding more useful outdoor gear to our collection each time. I do wish that I could purchase a sibling add-on kit or some of the gear separately (such as a second tarp, headlamp, backpack, or other main items). I’m not sure who loves the Wild | Life Outdoor Adventures kits more… Mom and Dad, or the kids?!
