Youth Adventure Kit (Classic)

HMW Outdoors

  • The YAK makes shopping for new scout gear, student backpacking or outdoor education gear EASY.  The YAK includes more than 20 different items in a single kit, to reduce your time shopping.  Each of item has been selected for its form and function, to ensure your student is prepared.  The YAK include 9 of the 10 Essential Systems (at this time we don't include food), Camping toiletries so there is no need to raid the household bathroom, a unique 70L long haul pack, that your student won't outgrow, and an integrated sleeping system with a 25° sleeping bag, sleeping pad and camp pillow (all included).  Outfitting your student is now easy.  We spent a lot of time taking the guesswork out of planning. As parents ourselves we want to make sure they are warm, dry, comfortable, protected, challenged and happy. This is what the Youth Adventure Kit does.

Introducing the
Youth Adventure Kit

The YAK includes everything a student or new scout/backpacker needs to get started.

Go here for the YAK Story (careful this is the long description)

When we say everything, we mean EVERYTHING. In building this kit we consulted Outdoor wilderness camps, BSA, GSA, Trail Life USA, USMC, high school outdoor education planners, BSA camp directors, outdoor experts, avid hikers, and campers, through hikers and day hikers, moms and dads.

The YAK is intended to be your students Outdoor Adventure Toolbox.  They will not need each item for each trip.  

For example:

  • The XL microfiber beach towel is best for camp situations when swimming is likely, on a camporee its extra weight.
  • If it's a day hike, then only the Essentials are necessary in a backpack already on hand or in our soon to be announced YORK 35.
  • For backpacking, from the Mess Kit a student might decide to only take the bowl and spoon, leaving the plate and using the pocket sharp tool ;-) for double duty.

The point is the YAK is a toolbox, as they mature and prepare for different adventures, their YAK will be ready to support them.

We believe so much in this kit that our own children use it when they are out adventuring.
