Backyard Bushcraft for Kids

By Ethan Wilder Brooks

Give kids the confidence to explore the outdoors safely-starting right in the backyard.

Backyard Bushcraft for Kids is a practical, beginner-friendly outdoor guide for ages 8-14 that teaches safe bushcraft skills through simple projects, calm explanations, and adult-supervised practice. Instead of overwhelming young readers with extreme survival advice, this book helps kids build real outdoor confidence through shelter building, basic knots, tracking clues, nature awareness, weather observation, fire safety lessons, and beginner survival practice.

Inside, young adventurers will learn how to notice their surroundings, prepare for changing weather, understand outdoor risks, build simple practice shelters, tie useful knots, identify animal signs, respect nature, and develop the calm thinking needed for safe outdoor exploration.

Perfect for family camping, homeschool learning, scout-style activities, weekend backyard projects, and screen-free outdoor fun, this book turns practical bushcraft into an age-appropriate learning experience. Every activity is designed to encourage responsibility, curiosity, patience, teamwork, and safety.

Whether your child is brand-new to outdoor skills or already loves camping, hiking, woods, trails, and nature projects,

Backyard Bushcraft for Kids gives them a safe place to begin.
Start building outdoor confidence today-one backyard skill at a time.
