Picnic Checklist

In the former article, we suggested that you start a picnic checklist, heighten it over time, and keep it handy for picnic prep. Here's a list to get you started. Scratch out the items you don't need and add others until you have the perfect list for your family. If you keep the list on your computer, you can print out a new copy whenever you need it.

We advise keeping picnic and camping items in large containers in the corner of your stable where you can grab them in a occasion and be ready for an outing.

* Ice for cooler (we prefer those "blue ice" blocks that can be icy in the freezer and reused)
