What age do the kids start carrying packs?

Started my daughter on carrying a pack at about 9. It’s mostly when hiking since we don’t get to do much meat packing out here in TX. Picked up a new pack from Gregory for her this year that fits her well with a 30L capacity

Got mine started early.

I started my kids out with camel pack's at 8yrs old , there small and and comfortable and they love drinking water out of them and can carry some snacks for the day as well . I think the key is not giving them a pack that's to big or awkward so they can enjoy there time out there , and if they happen to get one you can still get it tied on there so they can help with the pack out.

My kids had backpacks very early. They graduated to larger packs regularly and finally got mystery ranch popups.
