Chill out.

Take your snacks and sips on your next adventure if you please—Oniva's backpack cooler has your *ahem* back. It has a roomy interior that holds up to 30 cans or a whole spread of sandwiches when closed. (There’s an insulated, water-resistant lining, so you can pile in the ice.) And thanks to that roll-top design, all you have to do is unroll when it’s time to picnic. The padded, adjustable straps go easy on your shoulders, while the attached bottle opener lets you pack one less thing. Expandable side slots for water bottles and a front pocket for your accessories and valuables, too? Oh yeah.

Thanks to this portable cooler, life's a walk in the park now. We've got plenty of ideas for picnics of all sorts, but here are a few to start—just be sure to let the ants know they're not invited. First off, a French-inspired outdoor feast, eight perfect picnic foods even newbies can whip up, and a Food52 Shop special roundup of all your picnic essentials.
