Unlike a regular summer picnics, a stoner summer picnic can’t take place just anywhere.

You can even include your picnic as part of your summer daycation. There are plenty of options to have a summer picnic for stoners — it’s just a matter of deciding on where.

Transporting the Food

Need to keep your food warm? Instead of having to put it into another container (or multiple containers!), just keep it in the cookware — it gives the picnic a laid-back vibe. If the dish has handles, secure it with zipties (through the handles and across the top), or by tying a dish cloth around it tightly.

Keep all the other picnic essentials in the same container for easy, convenient transport. This includes sunscreen, paper towels, napkins, trash bags, etc..

Keep the beverages in the cooler with the ice, so they’ll be plenty cold by the time you reach your destination.

A few more tips for transporting food:

Pack two containers – one for cold items and one for nonperishables and the tableware. This keeps the cold beverages and food together so they stay cold longer, as well as prevents condensation from getting on the dry items.

Pack your picnic basket (or box) in reverse order, so everything is easy to reach when you’re ready to unpack. Layer your basket: Nonperishables on the bottom, then the flatware and tableware on top of that, and then the tablecloth draped over and tucked to cover everything.
Prior to your picnic, save condiment packets from any fast-food restaurants you eat at. These are travel-size and perfect for any summer picnic for stoners.
Always bring garbage bags, just in case there aren’t any trash cans at the picnic spot. Throw any roaches, stems, ash, and other weed-related trash into your own trash bag to tie up and throw into the trash bins.
