Do you still fly kites nowadays? I'm thinking of taking my little nephew and niece out in the field to go flying kites. I used to make one but now I just buy them from the shop.

I do....I fly one every year in Alaska on our annual backpacking trip....trips the team members out. I have a parafoil kite weighs in at 5 oz..

Nah, I gave that up years ago. The last time I did it was last year and that was just because a girl I was digging thought it would be fun.

Yes me and my wife have to kites. We always take them to mountain lake beaches when we go swimming. Plus we see a lot of other people with kites.

Me and my mom used to love to go to the parks and fly kites

I used to love to fly kites but I haven't in years. I guess it would be a good thing to keep you busy when you are camping. I may have to invest in a kite or two and take them for the kids next trip.

Pack a big round silver one up to a fourteener. Plenty of wind up there and a new sighting for the UFO buffs.

I love to fly kites. When I was at Myrtle Beach we bought one of those two man kites. Wow was that difficult to get up there. We had so much fun with that thing.
