So at the milsurp store, they had flasks. I figured what the hell and bought one. It was only like 15 bucks, and it's made in China. Allegedly out of stainless steel.
The directions say to not keep alcohol in it for more than 3 days. Why not? Is this normal? Or is my flask just a piece of shit? |

I wonder if its the same one they sell at Walmart for 3.97? I bought 2, one for a back up. I keep rum in it when I go out of town, etc... Buddy told me not to keep the alcohol in there for long or it will create a green film. Havent had an issue with it, but it is consumed within 3 days when I fill it. They also have a little small yellow funnel in the camping section for lanterns and kerosene. I use it for filling it. |

I've really never understood the purpose of a flask, and I'm Irish.  Why would I want to carry a minuscule amount of liquor with me everywhere.
Just put a handle in your bugout bag huh? That's kind of the part that makes me mad. It was intended for a BOB, but if it can't store alcohol for more than 3 days, it makes it useless for bugout alcohol. I can't fill it, put it in the bag and forget about it. |

Just put a handle in your bugout bag huh? Don't really drink liquor much, and beer is out for the BOB...So, I'll just be drinking water.

I remember being out in the field during basic training in 85, mixing some lemonade powder into a canteen of that lovely "Eau de Swimming Pool" and thinking, I could be a rich motherfucker if I could invent powdered beer. Yes you would, and I would buy it!

Years ago, I bought a really nice stainless steel flask that held I think 9 oz, and was famous for taking it to parties and out to clubs
and stuff. It actually was really cool. I always kept Jack Daniels in it, and even if I had some in it, it was still fine weeks later. Unfortunately, the seal for the cap eventually went bad, and the stupid hinge that held the cap broke. I super glued the hinge, but need a seal for the cap, otherwise it leaks. Haven't felt the need to carry any booze in quite a while though. |
