How to Pack the Ultimate Picnic

We swear by these picnic tips:

Pack resealable plastic bags

That'll let you eat now--and later.

Light is easy

Why haul a huge, hard cooler halfway around the park? A soft fabric version is just as roomy--and easier on the arm.

Serving sandwiches?

Pumpernickel bread is sturdier than white and won't get soggy.

Avoid leftovers

They don't stand a chance under the relentless sun. For easy portion control, pack your picnic in pre-slotted containers.
