Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Kids at the Campfire Cub Scout Survival Talk

I've been tapped to give a "survival" talk to a group of Cub Scouts, something past hug a tree and carry a whistle.
How to do this, without scaring the children, I plan on talking to the parents and leaders there present, and making suggestions as to clothing etc (the average 10y/o aren't shopping for their own clothes). Talking to big online retailers of camping stuff, there's not a lot of companies making decent stuff for kids. The coat and sleeping bag is easy. For an adult, an argument can be made that a winter parka, the puffier the better (trapped warm air) and long enough to reach thighs if not knees (assuming climbing harnesses aren't needed). So too kids, big puffy synthetic long parka. As long as they grow more north then east/west, it will last them. Sleeping bag, Wiggys regular 0 degree MARPAT on special $120. Fold the excess under them, they will grow into it, they will be warm, and it will last them into and through adult hood. Synthetic undies, wool/pile, puffy pants.

We treat environmental hypothermia all year round in our ED in the Bronx, Kids, due to size and lack of body mass are 100 times more susceptible to hypothermia then adults, Suggestions welcome.
