   Great For Birding
   The Carson Adventure Pak is a great birding kit for youth. The binocular is 5×30, which is good for birding and good for children. The lower magnification means less “handshake”, and a more stable image. Also, this binocular is a smaller size which is good for younger hands. Most of the items in this adventure kit seem durable and well made. The cord for the binocular is thin, but seems sturdy. The only problem I have discovered so far, is that the thermometer on the whistle does not work. I bought two kits at the same time (one for each of my children) and both of their thermometers read 80 degrees at all times, even inside our home. I am not going to return these kits over a defective thermometer. My main reason for this purchase was to provide my children with a decent pair of binoculars, all the other stuff was just a bonus.Contents: Binocular (5×30) with flip-down eye cups and neck cord, whistle with built-in thermometer, flashlight, compass, lens cleaning cloth, and carry pouch for all items.Pros:The binocular works well and is sturdy.The flashlight works and seems sturdy enough for my kids.The compass is cool, and my kids have loved using it to find out which direction we are walking.The carry pouch is a MUST for children to keep all the items together. It is made of thin material, but I don’t foresee my kids ripping or tearing it any time soon (they are ages 7 and 9).Cons:The thermometer doesn’t work on the whistle (I bought two kits, and neither one worked).The carry case for the kit does not have a shoulder strap. It does have a loop for wearing on a belt and it has hand strap sewn down inside the main compartment of the pouch, but my children don’t normally wear belts and the hand strap makes for a bulky nuisance hanging off the wrist when they are trying to bird-watch. It would have been better if the carry case had a shoulder strap.I gave this item 5 stars despite the two cons that I listed. This was a great purchase for my kids and they are each happy to own their first pair of binoculars. It was cool to see my son run to get his binoculars when he saw a large Cattle Egret land in our front yard this morning.I also purchased Fun With Nature (Take-Along Guide). This book combined with the Carson Adventure Pak will get any child on their way to discovering nature while having fun. I recommended both purchases!

   Great for that young explorer.
   Bought this as a gift for a child who was more excited about it than I thought they would be. Working flashlight (you supply batteries), compass and optics, they couldn’t get through the packaging fast enough to make a new adventure, well as much adventure a 9 year old can muster. Take note that these are toys and at the price point, I expected these to last shorter than it will take you to read this review, and to my surprise I was wrong as this is a 3 month late review (this was a holiday gift). Great to see a child explore and use thier imagination instead of being entertained by something on a screen for once. So if you have a young adventurous youth this is a fine way to get them involved with something that doesn’t have a control pad.

   Comprehensive, good quality
   My kid like it. Took it on a hike, he used the compass and he likes the whistle with the temperature on it. Binoculars are sturdy and usable for 7yr old.

   Great present for my Grandaughter!
   She loves my compass and tries to use my full size binoculars but just too much to handle. This kit was the perfect Christmas present and she love’s it. only thing that keeps this rating from a 5 star is the carrying bag. It’s a half size too small and too difficult for a 6 year old to pack the stuff away.

   Just OK
   I bought this set for my daughter to play “safari” in the house along with a tent she already had.I like this set for some reasons and then I don’t like it. The binoculars are great for a child. I have looked through them myself and found them to focus well and feel durable. The flashlight is weak. I don’t mind that because I didn’t want her beaming herself in the eye on accident with a really bright light. My gripe about the flashlight is that when you put it in the bag this set comes with, it turns on VERY easily. Great way to drain the batteries if you’re not careful. Also, the bag needs a strap. Other reviewers have mentioned that, and it’s true. Once everything is in it, it is too bulky just to carry in one’s hand. ****Pay attention*** The whistle. My daughter was walking around indoors on carpet with the whistle in her mouth. She tripped, over her own feet, and landed face first on the carpet. Her 3 bottom teeth were pushed out. Trip to the ER, xrays, prescription pain medication, emergency dentist visit, and finally extraction of the 3 teeth. Thank god they were her primary ones, but she’s not due to get her permanent teeth in for a couple years. My advice, if it’s a younger child (she’s 4)…take the whistle away. I found that the thermometer on the whistle was not accurate anyway.

   Great Starter Set
   This item arrived packaged securely, in great shape and is a perfect starter set. The binoculars require no adjusting and are clear. The compass works adequately and is a great beginner compass to learn how to properly use one. Instructions are packaged with the kit to teach proper use. The whistle is a cute addition to alert others and the thermometer works with Farenheit on one side and Celcius on the other. The flashlight, although small, is a perfect size for little hands and provides adequate light. I think that this is an awesome beginner set and it comes with a package to keep it all neatly tucked inside with a loop to attach to a back pack or belt. After seeing the set, I wished that I had ordered an extra set or two and recommend it if you will have other siblings or friends over to explore with your child.

   Well worth the money
   I bought this for my 6 yr old grandson.. they camp a lot and he was so excited to use it! The quality of the binoculars and the compass was above my expectations! He had lots to tell me when they got back from their first camping trip after he had received it!
