Make arrival at a picnic spot simpler by putting the first setup items where they can be reached without emptying every bag. Gather a picnic bag, a ground covering, tableware, cleanup supplies, and suitable food storage.
Set it up
Put the ground covering and any table covering at the top or in an outside compartment so they come out first.
Put the idea to work
Group tableware together and keep cleanup supplies in a separate clearly marked pocket that remains accessible throughout the outing.
Finish and keep it useful
Pack food using storage appropriate to its needs and plan the return space for containers and everything you brought with you. Avoid placing a heavy bottle on top of soft fruit or delicate food simply because it fits last.
What do you need to unpack first when you arrive at your picnic spot?
