Shoshannah Shand's second child was six weeks old when she took her on an overnight tramp for the first time - along with her toddler.

The Christchurch solo mum of two has thousands of followers on social media for her adventures with her children.

She says kids love the outdoors,  and she wants parents to know that getting into the backcountry is do-able.
