Besides, at that point it really becomes backpacking, which is an entirely different activity. As far as horses/mules, I'm not so sure. I've ridden horses, but I would not consider myself any expert rider by any stretch. I would not feel safe having unexperienced children riding horseback under my supervision.
Besides, I camp much less frequently than most of the other things I mentioned in my list. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://people.connexer.com/~roberto http://www.connexer.com
