Outdoor recreation is necessary for every resident of the metropolis. In order to make it as comfortable as possible, you should think in advance about what things you should take with you on a hike or trip.

What to take to nature with an overnight stay:

• Sleeping bag and tent... If you are not extreme, then of course you need a warm shelter from the night coolness and rain.
• Warm blankets and warm clothes.
• Phone with gps.
• Waterproof shoes.
• Mosquito repellent, sunscreen. If the picnic takes place in late May or early June, it is worth taking a remedy for ticks, since there are especially many of them in the forest at this time.
• Knives... It is worth taking not one, but several.
• Bottle opener... If you plan on drinking wine, you will also need a corkscrew.
• Cutting board... It will be good if it is lightweight, plastic. You can even take a few, then cooking will be much faster.
• Dishes... For a picnic, a disposable one is best, you can take a plastic one, but keep in mind that you will have to wash it later. Don't forget cups, forks, spoons, bowls for salads, kebabs, etc., they can be either plastic or iron. If you plan to cook fish soup or porridge, you should also take a pot.
• Iron tongs, fork, spatula... You will need them if you will be grilling or grilling vegetables or meat.
• Brazier... Better if it is foldable. If you have a barbecue, you do not have to look for some kind of cooking devices on the spot. It is convenient to place both nets and skewers on it, so you can easily cook any dishes on charcoal.
• Nets, skewers.
• Lighters, matches, igniter, paper for starting fire.
• Firewood or coal... Take them only if you are going to rest in an area where it is difficult to find dry branches or the other day it rained heavily (then you simply cannot find dry firewood).
• Hatchet... It is needed for chopping wood. If you are using coal, you will not need this tool.
• Bedspreads, rugs.
• Disposable tablecloths.
• Towels, napkins.
• Folding furniture... Of course, you can do without folding chairs and a table, but if you have them and have the opportunity to take them with you, take them. With such furniture, your stay will be as comfortable as possible.
• Process water... It is worth taking a little more, especially if there is no body of water nearby.
• Wet wipes, toilet paper, soap, girls will not hurt a mirror and a comb.
• Beach towel... It will be needed if you plan to rest near the water.
• Swimwear, swimming trunks... They can be useful not only for relaxing by the water, but also for sunbathing, for example, in a forest clearing.
• Things for entertainment... To make a picnic in the summer in nature as interesting and fun as possible, you should take care of entertainment. For this, a ball, cards, rackets, a guitar, a radio or a battery-operated tape recorder, fishing rods, a camera, a camera, an air mattress, etc. can be useful.
• Toys for kids... So that the children do not get bored and do not beg to go home, it is worth thinking about their leisure time. For them, you can take a kite, jump ropes, hoops, soap bubbles, buckets, shovels, molds, inflatable circles, coloring books, board games, etc.
• Warm clothes... Outside the city, in the evening it can be pretty cool.
• Garbage bags.

Such things must be taken with the calculation of the number of people who are going to get out into nature all together. It will also be useful if the company takes another supply of equipment for the night. Perhaps some of your friends want to join the company unscheduled.

List of what to take to nature with an overnight meal

• Drinking water, drinks. It can be mineral water, juices, compotes. It is very good to freeze such drinks and transfer products with them, this will keep their freshness for as long as possible. You can also take a thermos with boiling water and tea or coffee bags in stickers.
• Salt, sauces, spices, vegetable oil, vinegar, sugar. Salt is necessary in any case, sauces and spices are required for kebabs, vegetables, meat, salads, etc. Vinegar and oil are useful for dressing salads and cooking vegetables, sugar for tea.
• Vegetables, herbs... They can be eaten fresh, used to make salads and sandwiches, and baked over charcoal.
• Fruit... They will serve as a wonderful dessert or light snack.
• Bread, lavash, flat cakes... For dessert - cookies.
• Meat, poultry, fish... They can be picked pickled and cooked on site, or if you don't plan on starting a fire, cooked, fried or baked.
• Cheese, sausages, sausages, smoked meats... Sausages and sausages are great for charcoal cooking, cheeses and sausages for sandwiches.
• Products for sandwiches... It can be different cuts (salmon, boiled pork, etc.), sprats, cheese paste, butter, etc.
• Salads and sandwiches, it is recommended to cook directly in nature, but at home you can make blanks for them.

It is best to transport food in a basket, it will not only look more aesthetically pleasing than an abundance of bags, but also save your food from damage. A thermal bag is good for transporting food, it will protect it from damage.

For the preparation of salads, you should take blanks. It will be possible to cut and mix them into a single whole already on the spot. If you make salads in advance, season them with a sauce based on mayonnaise or sour cream and take them with you in nature, they may leak on the road, as a result of which they will become tasteless. They can also disappear if the road to the place of deployment is long.

The list of what to take in nature with an overnight stay may vary depending on the preferences of vacationers and their number. Each of them has the right to make changes to the top things necessary for a comfortable time away from home.

Doctors about what you need to take to nature with an overnight stay (video):

What to take in nature with an overnight stay if you have to get to the place of deployment on foot?

If you have to get to nature on foot, you will have to take with you a limited set of things, since a large amount of all the utensils necessary for rest cannot be physically taken away with you.

Plus, if such a walk is planned, all things necessary for rest should be divided between the whole company. Naturally, each participant in the outing will have to take a sleeping bag and blanket separately.

Savages to nature!

Now vacation time has come. Hurrah! But the economic crisis continues (if you are reading these lines when it has already ended, then I congratulate you ... Alas, but most people have less money, which means that there will also be less for rest this year. But you still want to rest, That is why I propose to recall the grandfather's method of rest, namely, in the bosom of native nature. Yes, yes, it is native, and not some Turkish or Egyptian, Finnish or Thai. After all, many can no longer afford it (or maybe not already , but simply), the maximum for which our fellow citizens are enough is to buy seeds in an online store and plant them in their dacha.

Therefore, I propose to relax on our blue lakes with fresh water, overgrown with curly birches, our wide, in no hurry rivers with gentle banks, in our pine forests filled with healthy air. This is where I call you. I am sure that many have not been here for a long time, and if they have been, it will still be useful to read my article on outdoor recreation.

What to take with you for a comfortable stay in the forest, on the river or lake?

Well, you are already reading this article, so you are thinking of heading off to rest not somewhere abroad, but in our home country. But the rest, wherever it is, should be comfortable. It is good if you (or someone you know) regularly make such trips and have all the necessary equipment. If not, then you still have to buy something, and do without something or replace it with improvised means. But first you need to choose the place where you will go. Usually we go where we ourselves or our friends have been, or at least have heard good reviews. Another option is to choose a place you like on the map, and we are interested in it already on the Internet. In any case, you will have to purchase a map of the area where you will rest, and the road along which you will go to this very area.

1) Map (atlas);

Well, that means we decide where we are going, how we are going and on what. Now we start getting ready.

Where are we going to sleep? I prefer a tent (not in a car or outdoors), and I advise you too. For a more comfortable sleep, you can buy another 2 * 2m air mattress and stuff it into the tent. If it's a pity for such a mattress, then buy an ordinary one for swimming for one person (it costs 3-4 dollars). I put my sleeping bag on the mattress and sleep is excellent, no worse than home, besides, an air mattress and a sleeping bag take up much less space than a bunch of blankets, rugs and pillows.

The next step is cooking. You will have to cook on a fire, the main dishes are a pot (if not, a pan will go), you can take a frying pan, but decide this after you think over the diet. I usually take:

2) a kettle, a frying pan, an old kettle, skewers, plates, mugs, a couple of salad bowls, cutlery, etc.

For the pot on the spot, I cut out two spears and a crossbar from the hazel, so the camp stove is ready.

3) Food. This, of course, is up to you, but I dare to recommend some products:

Meat for barbecue (if there is a spring or lake nearby, it is better to store the meat there)

Fish for fish soup

Stew

Cereals, pasta

Potatoes

Vegetables, herbs, fruits

Liters 20 water (it depends on the residence time). I collect 5 liters of clean water in kegs.

Seasonings, salt, sugar, instant soup.

I advise you to think in advance what day you will eat. Raw meat and fish, for example, are best eaten in the first couple of days, and then start stewing.

4) To adapt the parking lot for a long and comfortable stay, it would be nice to take with you:

Hatchet

Sapper blade

A couple of skeins of rope

Tablecloth

Multiple bedspreads

Several dry logs (you never know rain - there will be something to dilute)

Equipment

Fridge

Litter

Bedroom

Towel

Remedies for incisions.

Warm. socks

Night clothes

Raincoat

miracle rugs

Batteries

Record player

Soap accessories

Dish detergent

Sun glasses

Hookah charcoal

Cigarettes

Telephones

Rubbish. packages

Well, what about without clothes? What to take - decide for yourself, I will only remind you to take warm clothes just in case (even if you are driving in incredible heat).

If you like fishing - take a fishing rod, there will be time to do. Although I prefer to spend time in nature, idle idleness, sunbathing, swimming, playing cards, badminton, gluttony, etc. In short, in a word, if you don’t forget anything and the weather is favorable for you, then you can have fun.

I wish you a successful stay!

1. Before thinking over a picnic menu, you need to choose a good location. If you already have a favorite and verified place, then that's just fine, and you can move on to the next item.

If there is no such place, then when choosing it, give preference to the river bank next to the forest. The only downside is that you may be spending a lot of time on the road. Another option is a city park, where there are already places for barbecuing or just for gatherings.

2. Consider the composition of the company in which you would like to spend your day off. After inviting friends to a picnic, immediately distribute "responsibilities" between them - what exactly to whom to take, buy or prepare.
