A stainless steel one from Ikea is the mainstay usually full of Sloe Gin or port. I've just bought a plastic one from Tiso that I've yet to try. My pewter one from a wardroom is a little too delicate for camping/outdoors.

I have a sigg bottle, the little black 0.6l job with cup. the only trouble is after i've filled it up i'm only left with 10cl of spirits :D
believe it or not i've had gin and tonic in there before but i wouldn't mind filling it with 15 or 18 yr old glenfiddich.

In the woods if possible.

Sounds like good stuff, never tasted it though. Anything like Ricard/Ouzo/etc.?

And what's this stainless flask? Is it a hip flask? Never seen one at Aldi.

Just got another 4oz hip flask at British Heart Foundation swap shop, £1.40p. Trying to decide what to put in it now, don't think I need any more fuels... :)

Excellent choice my man :)

Its also nice if you leave your hip flask out and on the floor this time of year (somewhere safe) as nearly frozen sambuca go's all gloopy and tastes fantastic!

I always chuck a bottle in the freezer, but it dosen't stay there longer than a day or three, well... maybe two, sometimes less than one thinking about it.

Due to spending the last hour thinking about hip-flasks, or more the contents... Just made a compulsory purchase.

It holds half a bottle of spirits (400cl) so i best get the rum half empty while i wait for it to arrive :)

Cheers!

Yes, its a nice moral booster to have in the sticks. Sat under a tarp in the pouring rain with some port or maybe some rum, brandy, sherry or whiskey to drink straight or added to hot chocolate...hmmmm, a bushcraft party :dancer:
