Not really a MYO project, but i thought it would fit better in this forum than the gear forum.
When i go hiking i really enjoy to zip a wee bit of whisky in my sleepingbag before going to sleap. I thought long and hard before i finally found something whick is light enough to serve as whisky flask. Here are some pictures:
Sorry for the poor quality of the pics, but my webcam isn´t very high res. I also put my mouse and keyboard in the pics as reference for the size.
This package contained yoghurt, i ate that, cleaned the package and now i have a 8 g (0.3oz) 200 ml (6.8 fl. oz) whisky flask. I don’t know if you can get something similar overseas (i’m from europe) but i’ve also seen these packages being used for orange juice etc.

先ず始めに、よく洗う。次に底部分を切り取る。
中側の芯を切り取る。
小さい注入口のボトルなどに差し込んで自立できる。
キャップに小さい穴を開けて、さらに細い口先にも応用できる。
不要なときは丸めて収納できる。

At first I wash it well. I cut a bottom share next.
I cut an inside core.
I insert it in bottles of a small injection mouth and can become independent.
I open a small hole to a cap and can apply it to thinner lips.
When I am unnecessary, I round it and can receive it.
Oct 12, 2006 at 1:37 pm #1364735Met a couple hiking that shared their scotch with me at the summit (thanks, guys!) out of a Platypus – nominal cost ($4.50), only slightly more weight at 0.7 oz, , widely available, no taste from the container, and no cleaning involved. But then I guess it would only qualify as “BYOG”…

Arigato.Feb 6, 2007 at 9:04 am #1377309Park City IceWater Company sells water in a 16 fl. oz. flask of similar design. Weight is 0.5 oz. I used a bent paperclip to remove the small internal valve.
