• Scenic View: Set up your dining area where you can enjoy the scenic winter landscape, such as near a snow-covered lake or forest.

2. Dress Warmly

• Accessories: Don't forget hats, gloves, scarves, and warm socks to keep extremities warm.

3. Setting Up the Dining Area

• Insulated Ground Cover: Use an insulated picnic blanket or ground cover to sit on and keep warm.
• Portable Heaters: If possible, bring a portable outdoor heater to keep the area warm.
• Comfortable Seating: Flamefield’s foldable chairs with added cushions or blankets can make seating more comfortable and warm.
