Picnic Packing
Whether you’re planning a daytrip to the lake or adventuring in the greenspace behind your yard, going for a picnic is always a fun summer tradition. You’ll never forget your favorite snacks and treats, so here’s a helpful list of non-edible must-haves for your basket:
- Blanket. If your destination is table-less, make sure to pack a blanket large enough to fi t you and your friends. Yoga mats placed under the blanket will keep you more comfortable on uneven terrain. Tip: put the blanket inside a fi tted sheet with weighted items in each corner – this will form makeshift walls around your picnic area to keep unwanted critters away.
- Mosquito-repellent clothing. The last thing you want getting in the way of a good meal is unwanted pests. Now you can even fi nd clothing that repels mosquitoes and is available in both men’s and women’s tops, pants, shorts and hats.
- Water bottle. Keep hydrated with an insulated water bottle, espe- cially if there’s a hike to reach your destination. Always pack more water than you think you’ll need – especially if you plan to cook and clean with it.
- Utensils, plates and napkins. How many times have you had to use your fi ngers to scoop the last bit of something out of a jar, then
proceeded to use your pant leg as a napkin? Baby wipes work great as a quick sanitizer. Your friends (and pants) will thank you.
- Portable speaker. Country, rap, blues or rock ’n roll – whatever your preference, be sure to crank the tunes on a portable speaker. Just don’t rely on one that only works with Wi-Fi, as you likely won’t have access to any.
- Umbrella. Beat the heat with a large stand-alone umbrella to pro- vide some shade during peak sun hours. Tip: if possible, set up near trees – you’ll get the shade you need and added privacy.
- Garbage bags. Be respectful of the area you’re visiting and al- ways be sure to leave the space in the same condition it was when you arrived. Use one bag for garbage and one for recycling. (NC)
