Camp Minibar
Cocktail hour at the campsite doesn’t have to mean settling for cans from a cooler or swigs from a passed bottle. A few key pieces turn the outdoors into an open-air speakeasy.
You’re gonna need something to wash down all the venison.
1. Hydro Flask’s 20 L Day Escape Soft Cooler Pack keeps ice at hand for 36 hours. With padded shoulder straps and a simple ziplock-type zipper, the backpack is made for easy transport and accessibility. $200; hydroflask.com
2. Tote essentials in a rugged Mystery Ranch Bindle Pack, with a burly poly-canvas exterior and seatbelt-web carrying strap. Two inner pockets keep supplies organized while the main 19-liter chamber swallows bulky barware. $65; mysteryranch.com
3. Protect your campfire cocktail with the supremely smooth, stylish and secure 10-ounce Purist Maker bottle. The inner silicon-dioxide lining provides a glasslike finish, while the Scope Top lid features a clever rotating outer ring for spill-proof, 360-degree sipping. $40 cup, $16 top; puristcollective.com
4. To be a true outdoors mixologist, you need a quality shaker. Combine Otterbox’s stainless steel Elevation 20 Tumbler with its Shaker Lid for libation creations. The built-in screen strains precisely—and there’s a removable polyresin shot glass! $30 tumbler, $20 lid; otterbox.com
5. Gerber’s Armbar Cork has a full locking blade, corkscrew with lever arm, pry bar, bottle opener, scissors and can opener. And at only 6.5 inches long, this slim outdoor bartending multitool ultimately means more room for booze. $39; gerbergear.com
6. Glass bottles are destined to break. Instead, transfer your booze into a double-wall stainless steel bottle. None are as handsome as High Camp’s clever Firelight 750 Flask: Two tumblers attach magnetically to the top and bottom, and the silicone plug cap makes a satisfying bottle-pop at each open. $125; highcampflasks.com
7. The trio of beautifully made stainless steel blades in GSI’S Rakau Knife Set—the santoku chef, serrated bread and paring—zip up alongside a 7x11inch bamboo cutting tray that makes quick work of any drink prep. $70; gsioutdoors.com
