RE: Am I crazy?
Giving your children the experience of the outdoors will stay with them for a life time. My son is 4 an to get out of the house without him now takes an act of congress.
I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said " take your kids hunting or spend your time hunting for your kids"
Its a huge world out there with all kinds of wonders in it, for me its great to experience those wonders again for the first time.
