1 corkscrew: A "corkscrew" is a tool for removing corks from wine bottles. It usually has a metallic helix that is inserted (or "screwed") into the cork of a bottle, and is then pulled to remove the cork. It has a different shape to a "bottle opener" which uses a lever action to remove (or "prise") a cap from a bottle.
2 bottle opener: A "bottle opener" is a tool that removes metallic caps from bottles. It has a different shape to a "corkscrew" which has a helix-shaped screw to pull a cork from a bottle. A Swiss army knife will usually have both a corkscrew and a bottle opener attached to it, and enough tools on it to make someone like Macgyver very happy.
3 rug: A "rug" is a (usually decorative) thick piece of fabric that covers the floor. It is usually smaller than a "carpet" and usually made from wool or cotton. Brian has brought a rug with him to the picnic so that he can sit on it and not get his clothes dirty.
4 pack: A "pack (of playing cards)" is a complete set of cards (usually 52 in number). Brian has brought a pack of playing cards so that he can play poker during the picnic. In other contexts, a "pack" can refer to a gang or group, and also a container that is carried by people or animals, for example: The pack of Italian schoolchildren all carried the same type of heavy backpacks.
5 chips: In the game of poker, a "chip" is the small disk that represents money. Brian says that he has brought some "poker chips" so that he can play poker at the picnic. Note that a "potato chip" (or "crisp" in British English) is a thin slice of potato that is usually eaten in front of a football match on television.
