Think about a romantic little picnic with your sweetheart. All right, even if you are married, your spouse should still be your sweetheart and a picnic is a romantic gesture. Just the two of you, a walk in the woods and a picnic basket. Screeching halt! Who is going to carry that stupid basket? It is cumbersome and the wicker scratches the legs of the bearer. There should be a better way.

There is. Save the romance of the picnic by purchasing a picnic backpack. You will no longer be lugging the basket that makes your legs look like the cat got mad at you. You will not feel the pain of carrying the basket because backpacks are designed to carry all day long.

Backpacks have been popular for at least the last 30 years. From kindergarten through college, students carry their books back and forth in a backpack. First used in the military and then by hikers, backpacks allow a person to carry a larger load easier than holding that same load to the side or in front of you.

Think with me about a backpack that has a strap or pocket for each knife, fork, cup and plate. Additionally, there is an insulated pocket to keep food cold and bacteria free. How romantic is food poisoning? Doesn't the picnic backpack sound like a great idea?

Picnic backpacks are lightweight. The waterproof lining keeps the melting ice from dripping down your back and the insulation prevents condensation. Not only are they great for the little get away in the woods but also for almost any family outing. Take lunch and have a trip to the beach. Pack it for your next road trip and save the expense and calories of fast food.

Many local stores will have picnic backpacks in stock. For an even larger variety, try shopping online. You will find many choices of colors and place settings. There is one just right for your family.

Not only do picnic backpacks have an advantage over a picnic basket, they are a much better choice than an ice chest. Which would you rather carry? Would you prefer a backpack that fits over your shoulders or an ice chest with two handles? Most people would choose the backpack. Everything you need for a picnic lunch is neatly packed inside. The napkins and tablecloth are kept dry. What else could you ask for?

Did I mention, "My hero?
