picnic gear

Basket and blanket

Picnic gear is the collection of items brought along for eating outdoors—baskets, blankets, coolers, portable chairs, plates, utensils, and the like.

The term covers anything that makes outdoor dining more comfortable or convenient: We loaded the picnic gear into the trunk.

It suggests casual, recreational outdoor meals rather than serious camping equipment.
