Lakeside Picnic {ing} Tips
Lakeside ! Having minimal and convenient gear can really elevate your comfort to the next level. A portable hammock, a folding chair and blankets are essential.
Outdoor excursion to the lake, require a few essential items can make all the difference in ensuring your safety and comfort. First and foremost, a well-stocked first aid kit is crucial for addressing any minor injuries or ailments that may occur during your adventure. I love Coleman’s mini travel kit. I have been using it for years. It’s great for the playground as well. Additionally, a water filtration canteen provides a convenient and reliable means of obtaining clean and safe drinking water from the lake. This ensures hydration without the need to carry heavy water bottles. You can always bring your own water in a Canteen and drop a water purifier pod. I don’t recommend plastic bottles for anything, especially not bottled water. I avoid it as much as possible. When the plastic bottle heats up in the sun, it’s totally toxic. I literally never leave home without my stainless steel water canteen or for the longer days or camping trips I bring a larger insulated classic thermos. You know, the big green one our parents had in the 70’s. It’s worth every penny. I bought mine in Whole Foods market in NYC over 8 years ago. Love it. Good for everything. Lastly, don’t forget to pack a light sweater. As temperatures near bodies of water can fluctuate, especially during the evening or in cooler seasons. Believe it or not, it works in every season. I prefer natural fibers with Cashmere being my “go to” every time. It trumps everything. This versatile layer will keep you warm and cozy, allowing you to fully enjoy your lakeside experience. By having these essentials on hand, you can enhance your outdoor excursion and be prepared for any unexpected circumstances.
