There are many ways to have a good time in the summer. For example, you will enjoy a picnic with your family or friends. This is an opportunity to show your culinary talents and breathe fresh air, replacing the tightness and heat of the city with a forest or seashore.
First of all, you need to take a sufficient amount of food for a picnic. All products should be ready to eat, and dishes prepared so that they are convenient to eat in nature. When making sandwiches, make sure that the filling does not fall out of them, do not take too juicy fruits and vegetables that are difficult to peel. Cut the salads at home and put them in containers with lids, and mix the dressing for them and store them separately in small glass jars. You can refuel your meals just before meals.
Stock up on drinks. It is best to choose options that are not too sweet - they only increase your thirst. Pack lemonades, kvass, fruit drinks and beer in a thermal bag or thermal backpack. Additionally, take a thermos with hot tea or coffee - it is better to drink fatty or sweet foods with warm liquid.
Choose the right dishes. It is best to stick with plastic or paper. Portion meals can be eaten directly from the containers in which they were brought to the picnic. For the rest, disposable plates and cups are fine. Cutlery can also be plastic, but you should take a normal metal knife with you. If you are going to cut meat, you will need several such knives.
Dress properly. Even on a hot day, do not forget your windbreaker - cold snap or rain may start at any time. A warm blanket won't hurt if someone gets very cold.
Place mosquito and midge repellent in your bag. Blood-sucking insects can ruin your holiday a lot. Special mite pencils will also do the trick. Don't forget sunscreen. You can also take some medicines with you, such as a remedy for an upset stomach. If children are traveling with you, take hydrogen peroxide and plasters - you can quickly treat the wound with liquid, and protect it from further dirt with a plaster.
Don't forget about hygiene products. Stock up on wet and dry wipes. In nature, a special disinfecting hand gel is also useful, which replaces both water and soap.
