        "On our longest day, we packed nearly 9 miles... and the girls did beautifully.  What impressed me most about the packs [Campers] was that neither girl complained about sore shoulders or necks.  You've designed a great pack!" - Barbara Tewksbury, NY

The Camper has been recommended by Frank & Victoria Logue, authors of many outdoors books, including Kids Outdoors.

"Dear Tough Traveler, My children's packs came today in the mail! I am SOOOO impressed with them. I ordered 2 Campers and 1 Ranger for my children who are 9, 7 and 4.... They are beautiful!! My children are thrilled to have packs just like ours. I am VERY impressed. I read over your web site many times, and was so skeptical about spending so much money on packs for my 3 kids. We looked at small day packs for the kids and other external frame packs but wasn't able to find anything that seemed right. I can hardly wait to try these out."
Barbra-Sue Nelson of Alaska... and see below for the follow-up after giving the backpacks a try:

"We outfitted our kids ages 4, 7, and 9 with two Campers and a Ranger pack. We hiked in 5 miles of the Summit Trail in the White Mountains of Alaska. There we base camped and did some day hiking (mostly relaxing and enjoying the open country). While the trip in took us 6 hours to hike (taking several long breaks). The hike out took our little hikers only 3 hours. We were sooo proud!!  All three of them carried their own loads and most impressively, our little one walked the whole way in and the whole way out, a first for her.  Thank you for making quality backpacks for kids!!! We had a wonderful time exploring a small corner of Alaska and have made wonderful memories that I hope some day my children will cherish (I know I will)!
Blessings Friend!!"
