Picnic basket with all the trimmings
NAMEUncommonGoods Picnic Backpack
WHAT IT IS A backpack with a front pouch that includes two forks, knives, spoons, plates, wineglasses and napkins, and a bottle opener/corkscrew. The bigger pouch is insulated to keep food cold. Outside pouches hold a wine or water bottle and a cellphone. The pack is 10 inches wide, 18 inches long and 9 inches deep.
HOW IT WORKS Load up the larger pouch with food, store utensils in the straps of the smaller front pouch. The sling-style strap wraps around your chest and back.
THE GOOD Even on a hike lasting more than 90 minutes and on a day that was more than 90 degrees, the bag is no chore to carry, the food stays chilled, and every item remains in place.
THE BAD It doesn't come with a blanket; the cellphone holder isn't meant for a smartphone.
