PICNIC BASKETS
Picnic Baskets
We love going on picnics. Everyone gets to play and have fun or just relax. It's also a great way to bond with your kids and make memories that last a life time. I love them. We like to be ready to go on the spur of the moment.
Here's what we have ready to go at all times.
In a crate with flip lids (you could use any storage bin):
1 single burner stove (screws on top of a propane bottle- use a chubby bottle, they are more secure)
1 can of propane
1 box of matches
1 tea kettle
1 coffee pot
6 coffee filters
1 small container of evaporated cane juice
1 box of instant cocoa
1 bread knife
1 serving spoon
1 pkg. of paper cups
1 pkg. of plastic flatware
1 pkg. of napkins
1 pkg. of paper plates
6 pk. of bottled water
1 sm. jar of pepperoncini's
1 sleeve of crackers
1 bag of chips or snack mix
1 can of nuts
1 pkg. of cookies
1 bottle of sunscreen
1 can of bug repellant
1 pkg. of wipes
1 bottle of hand sanitizer
1 cribbage board
1 deck of cards
1 note book
1 pen
1 Frisbee
1 container for catching snakes and lizards or other critter
Then in a small ice chest we put in our cold food and ground coffee beans.
We bring a jug of iced tea and a jug of water (for making coffee and cocoa). It may also come in handy for the car’s radiator- you never know!
