Picnic Guide

Picnic Guide 


Activities in the fresh air - what could be tempting for grown tired of asphalt and offices of a city dweller? Meet the family, with friends and go on nature ... This weekend to remember for a long time and give the sea of positive emotions, strength and energy. But the organization Picnic requires not only the desire and opportunities, but also responsibility, both to the environment, and before resting with you. Guide picnic etiquette will help you anticipate all the nuances of rest, as well as prevent possible trouble. 

What you need to know the owners picnic? 

First, specify the weather at the weekend, so that your plans are not rosy collapsed because of your own folly. This can be done on site Gismeteo, for example. Of course, the weather is almost never a predictable one hundred percent, so be prepared for the worst. Negotiate in advance with all the invitations that you will do in the event of a sudden downpour or a hurricane. 

But even if the weather does not threaten disaster for your holidays, still make sure that your guests have had the opportunity to escape the small troubles, such as the scorching sun, gnats and mosquitoes, rain a little, cool evening. That is, taking the warm blankets, a few sweaters, a large umbrella from the sun, ointment from mosquitoes, biting, sunblock, etc. 

Secondly, to determine in advance the place for a picnic, so do not have to travel about half a day on the outskirts in search of a clearing. If in the vicinity of your place of deployment will be another group of guests, try to make sure that does not interfere with each other. Make sure that your dog (if you get them with him) is not swirled around someone else's table, and children are not bored of my curiosity. 

Thirdly, put immediately in the trunk of the car, folding chairs and table. Of course, you can arrange a "banquet" and spread out on the grass cloth, but much more aesthetic and more practical to put snacks and salads on the table. 

Fourth, consider that of the products and dishes you will take with you. Picnic best suited for cold and simple snacks such as sandwiches, fruit, vegetables, salads, salinity ... Do not forget to inquire in advance whether your guests have any food allergies to avoid acquiring unwanted products. And, of course, all that you take with you, must be pre-cleaned (vegetables, fruits), well-cooked (sandwiches, salads) that did not have to go with a picnic in the hospital because of poisoning. Do not forget to "vizitovskuyu" mineral water and water for hand washing. If possible, keep some food in the cooler bag. 

The list of necessary for a civilized picnic items also includes plates, cups, spoons, forks (out of unbreakable materials or plastic disposable utensils), napkin. Corkscrew - the important thing, which is often overlooked. And the seizure of a lightweight cloth, which will lay products from insects. In addition to alcohol, take care and other drinks, as is usually worth taking a drink from the "Visit". 

Below is a list of things that can be useful at the picnic. Examine it and mark the actual items for themselves. 

Household items:

What you need to know the guests? 

Even if the owner Picnic takes all care about cooking for yourself, it does not mean that you have to go empty-handed. In this case, no one should get a huge basket of products, otherwise a lot of food can just get lost, but something a little not prevent - a few sandwiches, a kilogram of grapes or a bottle of wine. 

If you want to bring your dog or cat, ask the hosts picnic. Perhaps they want to protect your vacation from unnecessary trouble. If the end of the picnic are products that do not put them in a package "for our dogs" without the approval of this master. 

If you would like to invite anyone with them, ask in advance if you can do it. Invite strangers without the knowledge of the hosts picnic or spend time at the neighborhood picnic - it is simply indecent.
