Your typical flask will hold 8oz of hootch, which falls ridiculously short for anybody who doesn’t want to run out of whiskey on the first night of a week-long backpacking excursion in the backcountry.
A fifth of whiskey is 750ml. The little travel bottles you get are 325ml. If you hop on Amazon, you can pick up this beautiful (and beautifully-light) 400ml Silverant bottle made out of pure titanium. It’s a real thing of beauty. It also strikes a really nice balance between going without enough and going with too much.
The backcountry is always more enjoyable when you’ve got ol’ Mr. Booze to dull some of the aches and pains at the end of each day.
I hope y’all are enjoying your days off with good friends and good food! Enjoy!

Is it worth the trouble carrying one of these on a miles long foot journey through the backcountry? It depends. Sometimes it is worth the trouble, sometimes it ain’t. In my opinion so much of a question like this depends on what other luxuries you’re taking. Taking this lantern usually means foregoing some other luxury.
