[dozzer]

hi guys.

I recently bought a stanley classic hip flask http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stanley-Cla...KB8E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1287086202&sr=8-1 and i think it will come in handy if im out on and about (especially in the cold ) and it got me interested in what kind other people may take out with them.

lets see what you carry and show us your poison lol

Mrs Bilmo bought me this in St Malo when we first met. It is pewter and holds 100ml or 3½ oz. I don't use it so much these days, but when I do I carry Ricard.

Generally a dark rum in my flask.

 

[HeltorChasca]

Mines a 100ml (approx) silver hip flask wrapped in Elephant hide that I got for my 21st birthday.

In this 5 minutes I've got a shlurp of this year's utterly ethereal Noyau..........hc

They are great bottles. Perfect for such fine fluids.

Here's mine.It's pewter so it's quite heavy.I'm not sure how much it holds but certainly not enough.

Currently:Vodka!

 

[Ekdog]

I drink more wine than spirits, so I carry a bota .

 

[JonathanD]

I drink more wine than spirits, so I tend to carry a bota bag.

Are they made out of buffalo scrotums?

No, they're usually made of goat skin, the interior of which is coated in pine pitch to make it impermeable.

I used to have a lovely glass one with a leather cover which came from my grandad, my pack fell out of a storage rack on a bus in Biarritz once and smashed it clean down the middle. I still haven't had the heart to tell my dad

Nowadays it's a cheesy cheap stainless Jack Daniels number which I picked up on fleabay. It's a good size around 6oz, nice and slim and has a good seal on it so I'll probably stick with it for now.

Love the pewter ones guys, bit more classy than stainless
