Re: What's in your hip flask?
Not really keen on spirits so I take either methadone or mushroom tea. If it's a special occasion, then a mix of the two. It helps with the alien abduction trauma.

Ooh methadone. For those who struggle to sleep I can recommend a nice methadone and nightnurse cocktail 

May the bridges you burn light your way

Re: What's in your hip flask?
Southern comfort or Jack Daniels Honey is my usual tipple from the flask. However seeing as Santa was kind on the bottle front this year it looks like a few trips will be Southern Comfort nights!

Re: What's in your hip flask?
I do drink but not usually when I'm bikepacking, the older I get the less inclined I am to indulge for some reason. What happened to TLS guys?Bearbonesnorm wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 4:31 pm Anyone else not drink or am I alone in a sea of p1ssheads?![]()

Back together and touring again unfortunately.

Calvados or cognac but we did get a taste for 7 year Havana Club a few years

Port , Brown Brothers if I can get my hands on it, but ......any old port in a storm as they say will do !
Re: What's in your hip flask?
I can't abide spirits but will drink an occasional G&T. I'll drink a bit of red wine and port but mostly prefer beer. There's no way I'm carrying sufficient beer for a piss up on a bivy so camping is a strictly dry affair for me. Being in my 50's I try not to drink too much for a couple of hours before bed anyway.Bearbonesnorm wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 4:31 pm Anyone else not drink or am I alone in a sea of p1ssheads?![]()

I don't drink coffee either, the only hot beverage I'll drink is green tea.
Re: What's in your hip flask?
I have a thing for making sloe gin, damson vodka, and variations of for bivvy trips, best i have made recently (well made in 2017 and just opened) is plum and sloe vodka, in which i put fennel seeds and black pepper corns, gives it a lovely fruity taste with a little spicy aniseed kick, slides down a bit too well...

Maybe that's finally the solution I've been looking for!Bearbonesnorm wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 5:20 pm Ooh methadone. For those who struggle to sleep I can recommend a nice methadone and nightnurse cocktail![]()

Nice one Mike, good too see you're using it!

Ardbeg, Old Pulteney, last trip had some Daftmills (beautiful dram). Though I've also tried a wee bottle of Jägermeister as a chaser to some Old Jock beer very nice 

Re: What's in your hip flask?
In Mike's case it's what's on the outside of his hip flask that's important

Re: What's in your hip flask?
It may be heresy, but every trip I've been on with my mate Matt has been accompanied with a hip flask full of coffee liqueur. It's become a little tradition for us. Its lovely in the morning under the tarp with a strong coffee as well.
Re: What's in your hip flask?
Is it bad to say I have 4 hip flasks? One even has some mini shot glasses included, had some good nights with that!
