The earlier you set out, the easier the overall trip

#3  SET OUT EARLY

Everything takes a lot longer when you have kids. This is especially true when you’re preparing to bring them on an outdoor adventure. Plan the day with the goal of getting started early, then get up an hour or two earlier still. Doing this will make things less stressful and safer, because you won’t be rushing. Plus, you’ll get to camp earlier and generally just have more fun. And if others are expecting you, be prepared to impress them when you show up early with the whole family in tow.
