5 useful items to make your picnic a success

You can’t drag a ceramic table service to a picnic. As dishes, many take disposable plates and glasses to nature. However, true barbecue gurus know that there is nothing better than specialized camping utensils.

The Tramp TRC-053 set was created with an eye on 4 persons. For each person , it provides one copy of a flat plate, a soup bowl, a mug with a volume of 230 ml, a knife, a fork and a spoon. The only common element for the whole honest company is a miniature salt shaker. The cookware is made from safe food grade plastic.

So that there is no confusion on the table, the components of the camping service are painted in different colors: blue, red, green and beige. The utensils from the set withstand Spartan conditions of use, do not bend under load and, rest assured, will not melt from hot products (shish kebabs directly from a skewer or the same sausages from a grill).

When folded, the dishes take up a minimum of space and will not burden the camping burden with heavy weight. A fly in the ointment in a barrel of honey - no cover or shipping case. To store the set, it is best to allocate a separate package. Upon arrival home, plates, cups and cutlery from the camping service can be washed in the dishwasher, which negates the complexity of caring for it.

The weather is an unpredictable thing. At one moment, she pleases with a clear sun, and at another, she can spoil the impression of the rest with a drizzle. Yes, and direct sunlight on a hot summer day is another “pleasure”.

An awning will serve as shelter from the sun and rain in nature. For example, a model from the Tramp portfolio with the full name Tent 3x3. The numbers in the naming of the product indicate the size of the canvas in meters. The fabric for the awning was 75D/190T Taffeta PU polyester with a "passport" degree of water resistance of 4000 mm of water. Art. This means that the product will be able to protect even from heavy rain.

The awning has 8 reinforced places for attaching stretch marks. It also has reinforced corners. But racks for the out-of-the-box model are often not included - they must be purchased separately or the awning can be fixed with improvised means (directly on trees or between two cars). For greater reliability, the central seam of the awning is hermetically glued.

Tramp Tent 3x3 will not become a heavy burden either for a picnic or even for a hike - thanks to a weight of about 700 g, it fits perfectly into the concept of traveling light. The same awning model is offered in larger dimensions: 3x5 m, 4x6 m and 6x6 m. It all depends on the number of people in the company with which you are used to relaxing in nature.

Auto -refrigerators and thermal bags are two key areas of activity for Ezetil. With them in nature, food will stay fresh longer, and drinks will stay pleasantly cool.

The model from the Travel in Style series holds about 30 cans of drink with a volume of 0.33 liters each. However, loading it to the top with the conditional Pepsi-Cola will have to be done infrequently. The interior of the thermal bag is much more useful for meat and other perishable products, along with plastic and glass containers. Well, any small things in the manner of lollipops for kids can be placed in one of the two isothermal outer pockets.

In order not to let the cold out of the bag once again, it has a Hook-and-loop valve for quick access to the contents of the main compartment. The cold in the inner compartment of the bag lasts for 6-7 hours, and with the use of frozen batteries - up to 12 hours in a row. It doesn’t matter if the thermal bag is in the trunk of a car or under the open sun: the cold is kept by a reliable 8 mm insulating layer in combination with an external reflective fabric that prevents the accumulation of solar energy on the surface of the bag.

Ease of carrying is by no means the last parameter when choosing a thermal bag. The special shape of the product (the back wall is longer in height than the front wall) ensures a comfortable “fit” of the bag on the shoulder. Having an optimal capacity, the model is useful for picnic trips, trips to the beach, as a container for transporting perishable products from a supermarket located far from home.

You can’t take a sofa with you to nature. But the table and several chairs will fit in the trunk of a car without any problems. Of course, we are talking about folding tourist furniture here, namely the TimeEco TE-042 AS set.

When folded, the set is a compact case with a carrying handle. "Squad" of chairs is stored right inside the case. The total weight of all elements of the set is 8 kg with a small "tail". Moreover, each of the chairs has a load capacity of up to 80 kg, and the table is able to withstand loads of up to 30 kg.

In the materials for the manufacture of the frame of the table and chairs, aluminium dominates (section 24 mm). MDF is used as a tabletop, and a combination of 70% PVC + 30% terylene is used as seat upholstery. Above the ground, the seats of the chairs rise at a level of about 38 cm. The height of the tabletop, in turn, is subject to change from 54 to 70 cm by adding additional segments.

In fact , the TimeEco TE-042 AS set turned out to be resistant to many hardships and damage during use, which is reflected in the reviews for the model. And the price tag on it cannot be called exorbitant. The table and chairs will become indispensable companions of any picnic, nature outing or fishing in a friendly company.

Without portable acoustics, outdoor recreation is already unthinkable - Bluetooth speakers burst into our lives, it would seem, recently, but they managed to fall in love with a huge audience. On a special account, she has JBL brand products.

In 2019, the range of JBL wireless speakers was replenished with the Flip 5 model. This is a moderately vociferous representative of the portable acoustics detachment in a barrel case with a fabric braid. The speaker has only one emitter, but it perfectly transmits bass, provides a clear sound of the “middle” and elaboration of high frequencies. With playing the lion's share of modern genres of music, JBL Flip 5 copes with a solid "five".

The wireless connection of the speaker with a smartphone is stable within a radius of about 10 m. Moreover, in one sitting, two mobile devices can be tied to it at once, alternately switching between them if the company has different tastes. Instead of the JBL Connect + function, the models “brought up” the newly minted synchronization option with their own kind PartyBoost. The only pity is that it does not fit with previous generations of the speaker.

The autonomy of the Bluetooth speaker remained at the level of its predecessor in the face of the JBL Flip 4 - about 12 hours of playback of audio tracks at medium volume. Also, the model retained water protection according to the IPX7 standard(despite the open charging port). Henceforth, the energy reserves in the JBL Flip 5 battery tanks are replenished through a symmetrical USB-C connector (from “zero to hundreds” in just 2.5 hours).
