i love backpacking, and i have a 6-month-old son. i've been searching for a really informative book on taking babies & children out into the wild, and this was the first book i read where i sighed and said "here it is, what i've been looking for." this gets into a lot of detail, and covers more than just backpacking - canoeing & kayaking & bicycling trips with little ones, too. there is a heavy emphasis on safety & responsibility. one of the most useful books i have found on the subject. (Alice Cary's book is also good.)
You can do it all WITH kids, too!

A great book for new parents who don't want to give up all the things they loved to do before they had kids. You can still camp, backpack, canoe, cross-country ski, etc.; just bring them with you. This book is a great reference for everything from clothing, to what to expect, to equipment, to dealing with diapers. The authors base their book on extensive experience including anecdotes about a 3 month trip in the back country with two little ones.
