No matter how sad it is to admit it, outdoor recreation can not always be called pleasant. Insect bites, abrasions, and sunburn are not uncommon during a picnic. Let's figure out how to reduce the side effects of such a vacation to nothing.
It is necessary
backpack, first aid kit, knife, phone battery, garbage bags, flashlight, spare shoes, cellophane raincoat
Instructions
Step 1
We collect the backpack.
A picnic basket is not a great idea, in fact, it is only good for a photo shoot. What you need is a backpack: comfortable, with wide straps and an external pocket, so that the necessary little things are at hand.
If you are going on a picnic for a day, 1.5-2 liters of clean drinking water will be sufficient, but if you are planning a long hike for several days and you probably know that you will meet a trusted source on the way, feel free to stock up on a filter system. It will allow you not to drag too much with you. Do not pack too much food as it can spoil on the way. Try to limit yourself to what is necessary.
Be sure to take a first aid kit, which should contain allergy pills, a universal antiseptic, a patch, anesthetic, a wide bandage, activated charcoal and panthenol.
Also included are a folding multi-purpose knife, trash bags for cleaning up after yourself, a spare battery for your phone, a flashlight and a spare pair of shoes.
Step 2
Be careful.
When choosing a picnic spot, consider the dangers that may lie in wait for you. For example, don't build a fire too close to the tent; do not eat unfamiliar berries; do not make sudden movements when meeting wild animals, etc.
Step 3
Dress appropriately for the place and occasion.
Heeled shoes and skinny jeans are not the best choice for a trip to nature. Prefer sportswear and shoes, and bring a cellophane raincoat just in case. Also, do not forget about sunglasses, which will protect your eyes not only from the sun, but also from dust and gnats.
Step 4
Prepare only proven foods.
If you are not an experienced mushroom picker who knows the forest like the back of his hand, do not tempt fate and cook only what you brought with you. Grilling is always the ideal solution for a picnic, but if meat was not part of your plans, you can bake potatoes over charcoal, make a vegetable kebab, and chop it all up with fresh vegetables.
