Picnic Supplies

I have been looking into picnic supplies. Not because I know much about it — I do not. But that is usually the best place to start.

I read through a bunch of notes, found some things worth passing along, plus a few product recommendations, and figured I would share what stood out.

Here is what I found.

Things to Know

• → Packit is the best insulated tote for cold stuff without the bulk
• → Fitted tablecloths with clips are your best bet.
• → Titanium cups are the best for outdoor use.
• → Skip the solar lights for an evening picnic
• → Frozen water bottles are the best ice-free cooler hack

Stuff to Buy

• ↗ Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter — Lights charcoal evenly without lighter fluid.
• ↗ Grill Rescue Bristle-Free BBQ Cleaning Block — No bristles to shed. Safer and just as effective.
• ↗ Kingsford Heavy-Duty Charcoal Chimney Starter — Bigger capacity. Good for longer cooks.
