Something else that I do that simplifies eating outdoors when we get to camp...I bought a wicker basket that is rectangular and I'd say about 16 inches by 8 inches . I keep it on the stove in the kitchen (we rarely use the stove, so its a good place to store it as it fits perfectly). I have it filled with pretty much anything I need for cooking outside on the grill, so that at dinner time, all I have to do is carry that to the picnic table. Inside I have paper plates and plastic cups, a wire utensil holder with our utensils and salt/pepper and meat seasoning, a cutting knife, small cutting board, aluminum foil, dish towel, table cloth and clamps, papertowels, Pam cooking spray, a few ziplock baggies, and the grill light that clamps to the grill, and other misc. items. SO MUCH easier to take that to the picnic table vs many trips for these items.
I took this concept and adapted it to our nightly s'mores ritual. I now have a plastic box with a lid already set up with everything we need: graham crackers, chocolate (tho if it's really hot this goes in the fridge), marshmallows, telescoping marshmallow roasters, lighter, and our favorite fire starter, an idea picked up from this board: cotton balls and vaseline.
I am looking for other ways to adapt this simple concept. We already do it for our cleaning supplies. What else? Just occurred to me that I can do it for our beach outings (baby powder for sandy feet, sunscreen, hats, etc., all in a plastic carrying basket with handles).
