Finally, warm days have come, ahead of the long-awaited weekend or vacation, and with them the opportunity to go out into the countryside with family and friends for recreation. When going, of course, we must remember that a picnic basket is the most important necessary attribute of a successful holiday. Undoubtedly, it is much easier to pack a travel bag than a suitcase for a two-week trip to the sea. But still, what should you definitely take with you?

Picnic basket contents list

A huge range of leisure goods is now on sale, including a picnic basket. Many are already equipped with the necessary utensils and appliances. But in addition to 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.

1. A large oilcloth or disposable tablecloth. She will serve as a makeshift table for us.
2. Plaid or bedspread, onwhich will be comfortable to sit in front of the "table".
3. Small silicone or inflatable pillows - again for comfort.
4. If the picnic basket was sold without utensils, don't forget to purchase disposable forks, spoons, plates, glasses.
5. Good knife. In a large company, the problem of "setting the table" will be solved faster if you stock up on several knives.
6. Cutting board, corkscrew and opener.
7. Barbecue.
8. Barbecue sets that include barbecue skewers.
9. Kettle or cauldron for cooking fish soup, if your picnic is combined with fishing. Large ladle with a long handle.
10. Soap (better laundry), kitchen towels, wet wipes and regular wipes.
11. Firewood for barbecue or charcoal (which is much more convenient), matches.

Of course, everything recommended will not fit in any picnic basket, then take a few items.

Many other useful things will come in handy on vacation, among them - a first aid kit with a minimum set of medicines for first aid, insect repellent, equipment for games and entertainment (balls, badminton, cards, dominoes), a camera, a hammock, hats and sunscreen, a cooler bag, warm clothes and a tent for overnight camping trips and more.

Picnic set

Think over in advance the menu of your future feast. Remember that it is strictly forbidden to take with you products that quickly deteriorate, for example, salads and cakes will be out of place. That's what's mostsuitable for a camping feast:

- Bread (preferably sliced), pita bread, crackers.

- Vegetables and herbs (should be washed and dried in advance).

- If you don't plan to barbecue, take ready-made baked meat, sausages, vegetables that can be easily baked on a fire.

- Mandatory product - potatoes. After barbecue, what else can compare with this camping delicacy?

- Water, juices. It is highly undesirable to take carbonated drinks, as they can upset digestion and increase thirst. It is better to choose mineral water.

Well, the picnic basket has been assembled and the groceries have been purchased. There was little left to do - so that the weather did not fail and upset the plans with unplanned heavy rains. Have a nice holiday!
