Doing Stuff Outdoors-17

Hello Outdoor Enthusiasts,

Thanks for clicking and downloading the podcast.  The theme for DSO-17 is 'Kids and the Outdoors'.  Brent Kimber of Utah is a father of three young children.  Before the kids came along he used to enjoy endurance sports.  But now he's turned his attention to outdoor activities he can do with the children as a family.  Brent has a few tips on how to introduce your kids to the outdoors.

Spending time with children in the outdoors doesn't always have to be about organized hikes or skiing trips.  Sometimes it's just about spending time together doing simple things.  We'll meet a grandfather and his grandson enjoying each others company at the beach flying a kite.

My 'Outdoors Ramble' today is related to this.  It's all about the importance of play for kids and adults too.  It was posted in the blog at doingstuffoutdoors.com on July 28th.

Also today on the show some podsafe music from Denis Kitchen of New York.

If you have audio comments, suggestions or questions about the show call our new 'Comments Line' at 206-600-4557.  I'd also love to hear about some of your outdoor adventures.  Call them in to the podcast.  You can email us at [e-mail].  And if you haven't done so already please subscribe through iTunes.

Next time on Doing Stuff Outdoors we'll check in with artist and film maker Cory Trepanier in the Canadian Arctic.

Thanks for listening,

Gary
