Tips & Warnings

• When deciding the style of picnic pack you'll need, there are a few things to consider. Picnic trolleys have rolling wheels and long telescopic handles that make it easy to transport picnic supplies for large groups, but are only convenient for flat surfaces. Choose a backpack if you are active and adventurous. Small fold-up picnic packs contain the bare essentials such as flatware and cloth napkins.
• Many picnic packs come with extras like picnic blankets, mini salt and pepper shakers, cutting boards, tablecloths and other convenient items which eliminate the need to purchase them separately.
