Outdoor Kids in an Inside World

fullDescription

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “An imperative call to action” (Nick Offerman) to get children off their screens and into nature, with tips for bonding activities that teach the importance of outside time and build tough, curious, competent kids—from the host of the Netflix series and podcast MeatEater
“A revelation for families struggling to get kids to GO OUTSIDE, or to just stop using the darn smartphone.”—Michaeleen Doucleff, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of Hunt, Gather, Parent
In the era of screens and devices, the average American spends 90 percent of their time indoors, and children are no exception. Not only does this phenomenon have consequences for kids’ physical and mental health, it jeopardizes their ability to understand and engage with anything beyond the built environment. 
Thankfully, with the right mind-set, families can find beauty, meaning, and connection in a life lived outdoors. Here, outdoors expert Steven Rinella shares the parenting wisdom he has garnered as a father whose family has lived amid the biggest cities and wildest corners of America. Throughout, he offers practical advice for getting kids radically engaged with nature in a muddy, thrilling, hands-on way, with the ultimate goal of helping them see their own place within the natural ecosystem. No matter their location—rural, suburban, or urban—caregivers and kids will bond over activities such as: 
• Camping to conquer fears, build tolerance for dirt and discomfort, and savor the timeless pleasure of swapping stories around a campfire. 
• Growing a vegetable garden to develop a capacity to nurture and an appreciation for hard work. 
• Fishing local lakes and rivers to learn the value of patience while grappling with the possibility of failure.
• Hunting for sustainably managed wild game to face the realities of life, death, and what it really takes to obtain our food. 
Living an outdoor lifestyle fosters in kids an insatiable curiosity about the world around them, confidence and self-sufficiency, and, most important, a lifelong sense of stewardship of the natural world. This book helps families connect with nature—and one another—as a joyful part of everyday life.

     Starred review from February 21, 2022
     “Kids need to understand that they are not above, outside, or apart from their physical environment,” writes Rinella (The Meateater Guide to Wilderness Skills and Survival), host of the MeatEater TV show, in this gem of a guide. He begins with a “prescription” for how readers and their families “can begin to see nature eye-to-eye,” which involves parents leading by example and, if needed, starting small, such as with treks in the yard, the local park, or even on an apartment building’s balcony. He suggests a bevy of activities: there’s camping (start with car camping), foraging (fun because of kids’ “natural curiosity”), gardening (which teaches kids “patience and hard work”), fishing (an “incredible relationship-building and mentoring tool”), and hunting (with the thoughtful acknowledgment that it might not be for everyone). Rinella’s enthusiasm for outdoor activities is contagious, and he offers plenty of fun stories from his own adventures with his family, as when, while on a berry-picking outing to stock the freezer, Rinella discovered that his youngest was feeding his crop to the dog. As useful as it is charming, this should go a long way toward convincing readers to get up, gather the family, and enjoy what nature has in store.

     The noted outdoor adventurer offers antidotes to the soft, media-driven lives of youngsters. Rinella is far from the first writer to lament the "indoorization" of modern kids, but he brings strong credentials to bear as a veteran outdoorsman, Travel Channel and Netflix TV host, and author of The MeatEater Guide to Wilderness Skills and Survival, among other similar books. He begins with a thoughtful consideration of the late biologist E.O. Wilson's concept of biophilia, the idea that humans are wired to appreciate nature: "We already know, both instinctively and empirically, that when kids and adults interact with real nature, they get mental and physical health benefits." Granted, Rinella's kids may take a deeper dive than most: In an early passage, he ponders the interaction of goopy deer fat, a fast dog, and raiding magpies, the latter of which perform an interesting calculation to see whether they can grab the fat before the dog gets to them. "I recognize that butchering deer and feeding fat to magpies might seem a bit extreme," writes the author, "especially for parents who are struggling just to get their kids out of the house for an hour-long hike in the park." With each interaction with nature, those kids learn a little more about how the world works and, by Rinella's, become better-adjusted human beings. So how to get the kids to drop their phones and joysticks? The author argues that adults must be better gatekeepers of their children's lives through outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, and hiking and by reading about nourishing topics with them indoors--books about dinosaurs, trees, astronomy, and the like. It's not a foregone conclusion that such skills and knowledge will help save the planet--"Our kids will be left to experience, or perhaps endure, whatever it is that they inherit from us"--but at least they'll be better prepared for whatever comes. A smart, ably argued case for taking the kids out of their rooms and into the world.

     Host of the podcast and television show MeatEater and author of a number of books on hunting, survival skills, and cooking wild game, Rinella is an avid outdoorsman and a father. In an era when children spend an overwhelming majority of their time indoors, Rinella here provides a manual to bring nature into family life. During the pandemic, unsurprisingly, statistics show people clamored to get out into the outdoors and areas free of people; over ten million Americans went camping for the first time. Rinella shares ways even those in urban environments can find outdoor bliss (his first two children were born while they lived in a less than 1,000 square foot apartment in the middle of Brooklyn). Family camping trips, fishing, foraging, gardening, and exploring wildlife are some of the activities he covers. Rinella posits that hunting can be used to teach self-discipline, gardening can spark creativity, and outdoor learning can teach children to adopt a growth mindset. VERDICT Fans of Rinella's popular show and nature lovers will enjoy this manual to outdoor pursuits.
