Tips for Packing a Picnic* Start by planning your menu. This will help you determine how much food and drinks you need to pack.
* Pack your food in reusable containers. This will help to keep your food fresh and prevent it from getting soggy.
* Use ice packs or frozen gel packs to keep your food and drinks cold.
* Pack your food in a cooler that is the appropriate size for your needs. A cooler that is too small will not keep your food cold, while a cooler that is too large will be heavy and difficult to carry.
* Pack your tableware and cooking utensils in a separate bag. This will help to keep your food clean.
* Bring a blanket or chairs to sit on. You may also want to bring a canopy or umbrella to provide shade.
* Don't forget to bring entertainment, such as games, music, or books.
* Be sure to pack a first-aid kit and bug spray.
* Leave no trace by packing out everything you pack in.
