Consider the possibility that you are wrong. It seems to me I'm arguing with people that have relatively little experience outdoors, while I have significant experience, and have seen first-hand how quickly things can go wrong.
I grew up taking months long summer vacations to a cabin that my father was building in the middle of British Columbia. No running water, outhouses, no road, you had to hike in or paddle down the lake. Fishing for Kokanee and Rainbow Trout. First time I went up there I was negative 6 months old and we went up there nearly every summer after that until I got out of high school. When I was around 6 years old we went up there in the middle of winter when it took cross country skiing about half a mile on the frozen lake to get there.
I've literally been that kid being taken into the outdoors by my parents.
