Camping isn’t just a family matter — plenty of childless adults love running amok in the open wilderness as if they were children too. And nothing goes better with good old-fashioned nature appreciation than some good old-fashioned spirits, or liquor, beer, and wine as they call it nowadays. But with all the potential for danger with glass bottles and vessels from which to drink your spirits in the wild outdoors, you’d do well to plan ahead and transfer your potable of choice into one of these rugged, outdoor-ready receptacles to prevent any messes and further injury than the bit of a headache you might have the next morning.
GSI Outdoors Vortex Wine Glass Gift Set – $39.95 $28.95
Glass wine bottles can present a bit of a hazard when adventuring in the outdoors, whether it comes from spillage or breakage. Mitigate those circumstances altogether with the awesome Vortex wine glass gift set from GSI Outdoors. Constructed from durable neoprene, this tote transports an entire bottle of wine inside the soft-sided carafe with a unique two-stage cap and wide mouth opening that makes transferring the contents of the bottle as easy as simply pouring it in, and pouring a serving a steady and splash-free affair. A folding side compartment reveals two nesting wine glasses, and the carafe even includes an erasable panel on which to record the vintage, varietal, uncorking date, or whatever information you deem pertinent. An adjustable shoulder strap makes this one of the easiest ways to enjoy the fruits of someone else’s labor in the great outdoors.
GSI Outdoors Leather-Wrapped Flask with Shot Cups – $42.95 $34.95
If you like your spirits a little more, well, spirited, this 10 oz leather-wrapped flask from GSI Outdoors should carry enough to keep you satiated for the evening. The stainless steel flask is accompanied by two matching stainless steel shot cups, each of which will hold at least one ounce of that sweet, powerful potion. The shot cups are nestled into a molded leather cap that snaps neatly over the top of the flask, keeping all the necessary components for a warm and fuzzy evening tidily contained in one smart package. Ron Swanson would be proud.
GSI Outdoors Vortex Hand Blender – $99.95 $89.97 FREE SHIPPING!
Who says blended margaritas require a Mexican beach, or even an electric blender for that matter? Chances are good your campsite will already have its own blend of sun and sand, so all you’re missing is a way to crush the ice into boozy submission. Problem solved: just remember to pack your GSI Outdoors Vortex hand blender! The 1.5 liter pitcher and snug-fitting lid with pour spout are constructed from BPA-free resin, and operation is facilitated through a two-speed hand crank that can make a fine snow out of your ice, depending on how determined you are. If you want to use it for something less festive, it will also work great as a food processor for those mid-party chips and salsa cravings. It includes a C-clamp to secure the blender to a tabletop, tailgate, or whatever surface you’re working with, and the entire device nests right in the pitcher for easy storage. What are you waiting for, muchachos? Get that party started already!
