Picnic gatherings are always accompanied by fuss. And the process of organizing trips to nature does not exclude the situation when the thing necessary for rest is not provided or forgotten. A clear answer to the question: “What to bring for a picnic?”, As well as a detailed analysis of an approximate action plan in the lap of nature will help to avoid this.
We will proceed from the fact that upon arrival at a place that is better to choose in advance, the whole company is secretly divided into three camps:
- the male "backbone" organizes the cooking area of the main dish;
- Women's "battalion" serves an impromptu table;
- Kindergarten enjoys outdoor games.
Kitchen
The cooking zone involves the mandatory presence of a hearth, which will help to build:
- barbecue;
- coals or dry firewood (both options will not hurt);
- a means for lighting a fire and several (!) boxes of matches, which are used to disappear without a trace.
In addition, the following accessories will be required: barbecue grill, skewers or a pot with a tripod. The decision of what to take with you on a picnic from the listed accessories directly depends on the method of cooking on an open fire and culinary intentions.
Canteen
To equip the dining area, the table itself (a thick oilcloth tablecloth) and seats (warm rugs or special rugs) are needed. Ideal option is folding furniture.
What food to take on a picnic? Products for sandwiches can be cut in advance, but put them in different containers, and form a snack already in place. An alternative to burgers and hot dogs can be baked pizza or pita rolls. In this case, the filling should not contain perishable products, such as mayonnaise and butter. Replace them with possibly soft cheese. Of sausages, it is better to give preference to smoked varieties. Washed vegetables and fruits are more conveniently cut in nature so that they do not have time to lose juice and freshness. Water must be taken with a reserve for both drinking and for technical needs. And which products to take? At a picnic, it is worth grabbing tea, cookies and sweets, which will become a pleasant and warming final point of the mini-holiday.
Unexpected "forgetfulness"
It often happens that the fact of the absence of important things is discovered far from home and is accompanied by perplexing questions of the following nature:
- "Where is the meat? In the refrigerator ..." - forgot the kebab.
- "And what salt?" - did not take salt.
- "Is there only one knife?" - did not think about the knife and cutting board.
- "Lech, don't you smoke?" - hoped that everyone had matches or a lighter.
- "Now the wind will send smoke in our direction and it will be normal ..." - they forgot the mosquito repellent.
- "And the phone of the" Khan "..." - did not charge the camera.
Expendable materials
What to bring on a picnic besides food? Disposable tableware speaks for itself, so it’s better not to save on it by providing individual sets,
and also sets for products on a common table. This also includes paper dry and wet wipes, toilet paper.
At least one cloth towel will always come in handy. Dense garbage bags will help to keep clean not only nature, but also the trunk of your favorite car. It is prudent to put warm clothes and hats with you, even if you don’t have to use them. Soap and a flashlight will be needed for sure.
When the training camp is almost completed, the question still continues to pop up in my head: "What should I bring with me?" For a picnic, you should take the ball or badminton, because joint outdoor games are interesting for both children and parents. And if you could not foresee everything to the smallest detail, do not get upset. After all, there is nothing more valuable in the world than time spent with loved ones. A collective search for a way out of an unforeseen situation will become a small adventure.
