Finally, warm days came, ahead of a long-awaited weekend or vacation, and with them - the opportunity to go into nature with family and friends to relax. Going, of course, we must remember that a picnic basket is the most important attribute necessary for a successful holiday. Undoubtedly, collecting a hiking bag is much easier than a suitcase for a two-week trip to the sea. But still, what is necessary to take with you?
List of required picnic basket contents
Now there is a huge assortment of leisure products on sale, including a picnic basket. Many are already equipped with the necessary utensils and appliances. But besides kitchen utensils, much more is needed. It all depends on where you are going, for how long, how you plan to relax, and what you will do.
- Large oilcloth or disposable tablecloth. She will serve us as an impromptu table.
- A blanket or bedspread, which will be conveniently arranged in front of the "table".
- Small silicone or inflatable pillows are again for convenience.
- If the picnic basket was sold without dishes, do not forget to purchase disposable forks, spoons, plates, glasses.
- Good knife. In a large company, the problem “set the table” will be solved faster if you stock up with several knives.
- Cutting board, corkscrew and opener.
- Brazier.
- Barbecue sets, which necessarily include skewers for barbecue.
- A pot or cauldron for cooking fish soup, if your picnic is combined with fishing. Large ladle with a long handle.
- Soap (better household), kitchen towels, wet and ordinary wipes.
- Barbecue firewood or charcoal (which is much more convenient), matches.
Of course, everything recommended does not fit in any picnic basket, then take a few points.
Many other useful things are useful on vacation, among them - a first-aid kit with a minimum set of medicines for first aid, an insect repellent, equipment for games and entertainment (balls, badminton, cards, dominoes), a camera, a hammock, hats and protective cream from the sun, a cooler bag, warm clothes and a tent when camping with an overnight stay and much more.
Picnic Food Set
Think in advance of the menu of your future feast. Remember that it is strictly forbidden to take products that quickly deteriorate, for example, salads and cakes will be inappropriate. Here is what is most suitable for a camping feast:
- Bread (preferably sliced), pita bread, crackers.
- Vegetables and greens (you need to wash and wipe in advance).
- If you do not plan to grill kebab, take ready-made baked meat, sausages, vegetables, which can be easily baked on a fire.
- Mandatory product - potatoes. What else can be compared, after a barbecue, with this camping delicacy?
- Water, juices. Carbonated drinks are extremely undesirable to take, as they can upset the digestion and increase thirst. It is better to choose mineral water.
Well, and the picnic basket is assembled, and the products are purchased. It remains a matter of little - so that the weather does not disappoint and does not upset plans with unplanned heavy rains. Have a good rest!
