Game Day Ready: How to Have the Ultimate Tailgating Experience
Are you ready for the ultimate tailgating experience for the Super Bowl? Whether you're a die-hard fan or just looking for a fun way to spend the day with friends and family, tailgating is the perfect way to get in the game day spirit. And with the right gear and a little bit of planning, you can make sure your tailgating experience is one to remember.
First things first, you'll need a great setup to plan and prepare for your tailgating party with family and friends. This means choosing the perfect spot, setting up tables and chairs, and making sure you have all the necessary equipment to keep the party going. And when it comes to equipment, the Out-In-About Box™ is a must-have.
Start with a Plan
- Choose the perfect spot: Whether you have the luxury of actually being at the big game, or you’re setting up in a driveway or backyard look for a spot that has enough space for your group to set up tables, chairs, and equipment.
- Plan your setup: Make sure you have all the necessary equipment, including tables, chairs, coolers, and a portable grill or stove to use with your camp kitchen.
- Make a menu: Plan a menu that includes a mix of savory and sweet dishes, as well as beverages that satisfy everyone’s preferences. (Check out some popular recipes below!)
- Pack the right gear: Make sure you have all the necessary gear for tailgating, such as plates, cups, utensils, napkins, and a first aid kit. If your tailgating requires you to travel to a destination, a camp kitchen is the perfect piece of camping equipment to pack all your gear in.
- Bring games and entertainment: Pack some games, such as cornhole or a portable speaker for music to keep the party going.
- Dress appropriately: The weather can be unpredictable during the Super Bowl, so make sure to dress in layers and check the weather forecast wherever you’ll be celebrating.
- Arrive early: Get to your tailgating spot early to secure a good spot and set up before the game starts.
- Clean up: Make sure to leave the tailgating spot clean and dispose of all trash and recycling properly.
- Have a contingency plan: Make sure to have a plan in place in case of inclement weather or other unexpected issues.
- Consider bringing the Out-In-About Box™: It's a great solution to store all your supplies and equipment in one place, and it's lightweight and easy to carry.
