How to Get the Most Out of Your High Camp Flask

How to Get the Most Out of Your High Camp Flask

Built for a Lifetime of Stories and a Legacy of Toasts

Whether you're setting up camp at your favorite weekend spot or sipping craft whiskey at a backyard barbecue, your flask is designed to help you celebrate in style. More than just a travel companion, our flasks unlock new experiences, allowing you to cheers the moment and elevate every adventure.

From the beginning, we’ve never compromised on materials or aesthetics. Each High Camp Flask is built to be passed down through generations like a vintage watch. But like any heirloom, a little bit of regular care is the secret to ensuring it performs perfectly every single time you pour. Here is everything you need to know about caring for, cleaning, and getting the most out of your flask.

The Secret Is In The Steel: Sip, Rinse, Repeat

Nobody wants their top-shelf craft whiskey tasting like yesterday's dark roast coffee. Thankfully, you never have to worry about that. All of our flasks feature an ultra-premium, sommelier-grade electropolished stainless steel interior for zero flavor impact. Because our products are completely plastic-free, they won't absorb lingering odors or flavors the way plastic lids and containers do.

How to Clean Your Flask

Because of that ultra-smooth interior, cleaning is incredibly simple. You do not need harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.

  • Hand Wash Only: Skip the dishwasher. The intense heat and harsh detergents can damage the vacuum seal and exterior finish over time.
  • Soap and Water: Simply rinse your flask and tumblers with warm, soapy water right after you finish your drink.
  • Air Dry: Turn the flask and tumblers upside down to let them dry completely before reattaching the lid. Allowing it to thoroughly dry is the secret to preserving the integrity of your next beverage pour.

Note: If you own the Torch Flask, taking care of it is even easier thanks to its screw-off bottom cap for easy cleaning.

Our products enable you to enjoy your favorite drinks anywhere.

Temperature Mastery: Vacuum vs. Double-Wall Insulation

Whether you're packing hot coffee for a crisp morning surf check or a chilled spirit for a summit cheers, your gear is built to handle the elements. While all High Camp products safely handle both hot and cold beverages, it helps to know how to pack based on their specific insulative properties.

Insulation Type Models Best For
Double-Wall Vacuum Firelight Flask, Parkside Flask, Highball Shaker Up to 24-hour temperature control (hot or cold)
Double-Wall Torch Flask, Parkside Magnetic Tumblers More immediate pours or sharing within a few hours

Pro-Tips for Performance

  • For Heat: Fill your vacuum-insulated flask to the top to minimize air space, seal it tightly, and keep the magnetic tumblers attached. Since heat rises, you can even store the flask upside down in your pack for maximum retention.
  • Pre-Chilling: For an extra frosty pour, keep your flask in the refrigerator before filling it, or drop some ice directly into it.
  • Warning: Do not put your flask in the freezer. Extreme expanding cold can permanently warp the stainless steel and ruin the vacuum insulation.

The "Don'ts": Protecting Your Investment

Your flask is rugged, but there are specific steps you should take to protect your gear:

  1. No Carbonation or Dairy: Do not put sparkling wine, beer, soda, or dairy in your flasks. Carbonation creates pressure build-up that can damage the threading and void your warranty. Dairy can release CO2 as it spoils, causing similar pressure issues.
  2. Protect the Finish: While the finish is incredibly durable, it can dent or scratch if dropped on rocks or rubbed in sand and dirt. To keep it looking pristine, transport it using the microfiber sleeve included in your box.

Cheers to the Next Adventure

By treating your High Camp Flask with a little bit of respect—a quick hand wash and avoiding the dishwasher and freezer—it will be ready to elevate your experiences for years to come. Pack your favorite vintage, mix up a batch of Manhattans, and get out there. Adventures are best shared with friends.
