Snacks
Hoard a stack of Musubi’s onigiri for an easy on-the-go meal. The tiny balls of rice, filled with savory bites of tuna and house spicy mayo or vegan sour pickled plum, come individually wrapped with a square of nori for utensil-free noshing. $2.75–3.50, grindmusubi.com or 2134 SE Division St

Gear
Finally, something you can reliably turn to when saying: “Hold my beer.” Fifty Fifty’s vacuum insulated tank growlers keep your beer (or rosé—not judging) frosty cold while the double wall keeps condensation from getting the inside of your backpack all wet. Huzzah! $33

Picnic
Modern Cabin’s locally made multilayer blankets were explicitly created for picnicking on semi-damp ground. The bottom is waterproof nylon, with a layer of cushy batting above. Bonus points for the hidden pocket that fits a phone. $125, moderncabin.biz
