It’s no surprise that many of us GeekDads and GeekMoms out there enjoy adult beverages. My girlfriend and I both love a good whiskey on occasion, and she’s also a bit of an oenophile (or in other words, she likes wine!). And while we can always have our favorite drinks at home, it’s nice to be able to occasionally have them while camping or at an outdoor event.
Enter High Camp Flasks. In their own words, they make “flasks + tumblers designed to help you take the bar with you to the backcountry on your next adventure.” High Camp Flasks recently sent me out a few of their products to take a look at and try out for myself.
Parkside Flask 750ml
The Parkside Flask comes in two sizes: 750ml and 375ml. It’s an all-in-one wine flask made of sommelier-grade stainless steel, and available in four colors. The 750 ml size retails for $125 and has two magnetic tumblers, while the 375ml retails for $89 and has just one. High Camp Flask sent me a 750ml model.
Each flask comes with a protective sleeve for storage. The sleeve can also be used to clean the cups after finishing your drink.
Here are the specs:
Parkside Flask 750
• Volume: 25.4 fl.oz (750ml) – 1 full bottle
• Includes two 10.5 fl.oz (315ml) wine tumblers
• Weight: 25 ounces (1.6lbs)

• Volume: 12.7 fl.oz (375ml) – 1/2 full bottle

Firelight Flask 750ml
Like the Parkside, the Firelight Flask comes in two sizes, 750ml and 375ml. While the Parkside is designed for wine, the Firelight is for cocktails and spirits. The 750ml size is $129, while the 375ml is $95. There are four different finishes available; High Camp Flask sent me a 750ml in copper finish.
As with the Parkside Flasks, the Firelight also comes with a protective sleeve. Here are the specifications:

Torch Flask
The Torch Flask comes in both a 6oz and 9oz size. Both have a magnetically attached 3oz shot glass. The 6oz size retails for $99, while the 9oz size is $109.
The Torchlight Flasks have a screw-off bottom as well, allowing you to add ice to the flask if desired as well as having a wider mouth for pouring into the flask.

High Point Flask – Final Thoughts
Each of the items that High Point Flasks sent along exude quality. The finish on each of the flasks is sumptuous, and the construction from the silicon-sealed bottle caps to the fit of the magnetic tumblers is flawless. I brought along the Firelight Flask with us on a recent day trip, and the flask maintained a steady room temperature for our whiskey the entire day.
The protective sleeves are a nice addition to the purchase, but for even more protection, stylish wool cases are available for all the different flasks. The prices for those range from $18 for the Torch Flask Wool Case, up to $25 for cases for either the 750ml Parkside or 750ml Firelight flasks.
Altogether, I’m very impressed with the offerings from High Camp Flasks. They combine high quality design with stylish aesthetics to create products that you will be able to enjoy for years. And from now until December 9th, High Camp Flasks are on sale for Black Friday with a “Buy More & Save More” – 15% Off $100+, 20% Off $200+, 25% Off $300+, as well as free shipping at $150. So if you’re looking to pick up some flasks for yourself or as gifts, now’s a great time.
