How to Pack a Picnic for a Day Hike
- 1). Purchase a sample-sized bottle of good wine. Try red, as it does not have to be chilled, unless you're going to be near a creek (where you can chill the white).
- 2). Get some good cheese, preferably fresh mozzarella. Slice it about half an inch thick.
- 3). Get some crusty bread. If it's too long to fit in your pack, break it in half.
- 4). Fill a film canister with olive oil. Tape the top shut firmly and place it in a plastic sandwich bag.
- 5). Place two tomatoes in a paper bag. Pack this bag in your backpack last.
- 6). Get a good bar of chocolate and a few oranges.
- 7). Pack cups, a sharp knife, a butter knife, a few paper plates, a corkscrew, a blanket and a hand towel.
