No screens. No stress. Just sunshine, sausages & simple good times.
Let’s face it - the scroll can take over. Phones, tablets, Netflix, notifications… it’s all too easy to spend weekends indoors, side-by-side but totally disconnected.
At HECK! we’re all about real connection and real moments - and nothing brings that to life like fresh air, a bit of dirt on your shoes, and something sizzling on the grill. So here’s your nudge to unplug, step outside, and live life to the full (together).
Ready to ditch the screens and get stuck in?
1. Hit the hills (or the Nearest Nature Path)
You don’t need a map and compass. Just grab your crew and head to the nearest green space - nature trail, park, woodland walk or even a local footpath.
Set a fun challenge:
🔎 Spot five different flowers
🐾 Count dog breeds
🌳 Climb a tree (yes, adults too)
HECK! twist: Prep some chicken sausages in wraps or bake some sausage rolls to take as walking snacks.
2. Pack a Proper Picnic
Food tastes better outdoors - that’s just a fact.
Let everyone help prep: sandwiches, fruit pots, sausage bites, and flapjacks. Chuck it all in a cool bag and head to the garden, park, or beach.
No phones. Just delicious food, real convo, and maybe a game of rounders or cards to keep it playful.
3. Cook (or BBQ) Outside
Rain or shine, there’s something magic about cooking al fresco.
Fire up the BBQ, bring out the camping stove, or grab a firepit if you’ve got one. Get the kids involved:
🧤 Tongs in hand
🍢 Skewer-making pros
🌭 Sausages = non-negotiable
Try this: Chorizo-style pork sausages in tacos with grilled corn, avo & yoghurt. Messy = mandatory.
4. Camp… In Your Garden
Who needs a campsite? Pop a tent in the garden, light the BBQ, toast marshmallows and tell silly stories under the stars.
Zero screen time. Maximum memory-making.
5. Turn Nature into the Playground
Whether it’s collecting pinecones, leaf art, nature scavenger hunts or puddle-jumping, let the outdoors do the entertaining.
It’s low-cost, high-reward - and a chance to let imaginations run wild.
Why It Matters
When you ditch the screens and get outside together:
✔️ You all move more
✔️ You talk more
✔️ You make memories that stick
It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence.
And with HECK! in the mix, you’ve got easy, tasty food to fuel the fun - whether that’s a mid-walk bite, a post-puddle fry-up, or a picnic with all the good stuff
