I'm the only wine drinker in the family though, so in the future I may just stick to scotch or bourbon unless bringing another wine drinker. edit: Sorry MN_Lindsey, missed the no comments part. Here's a good drink - make 1L jack palmer mix in a nalgene, drink a cup, refill with bourbon or whisky. Shake gently. Enjoy! |

The secret to this recipe is dehydrated tomato juice, aka tomato paste, which can be reconstituted at a 4:1 ratio. This is seasoned to my taste, you should season it to yours. Combine the following ingredients in a small leak proof container: 3 tablespoons tomato paste 2 ounces vodka 2-3 dashes Worcestershire sauce 1-2 dashes hot sauce Lowry's Black pepper Pinch MSG Paddle deep into the wilderness, add to 12 ounces of cold lake water, stir well and enjoy. |

Nalgene bottles carry alcohol very well- they were originally designed for medical use, so they don't absorb/interact with alcohol. |

mirth: "I had a bandit that started leaking through the seams last summer. Only drank maybe a glass or two worth over a couple nights. Unknown if pressure from within the barrel made it happen or if it was a defect. That’s good with everclear, too. Just limit it to 3-4 oz per nalgene and don’t drink more than 2! Good with orange koolaid mix as well with breakfast on layover days. |

White Pine needles boiled in water over the fire or portable stove. Pour through a bandana to filter the needles & sticks out. Pour into a cup that has a couple fingers of bourbon in it. Sip & enjoy fireside. Our favorite for this blend is Jim Beam Vanilla. |

I don't have any exact measurements. I guess the amounts get less and less as the trip goes on: A few fingers of Everclear in the Nalgene (because it's the most efficient alcohol to lug!) A fbit of country time lemonaid, fill up the nalgene with water A handful of freeze-dried cherries. Shake, pass around. |

Serves 1 - 4 Required ingredients: 1 Hydroflask growler (64 oz) 64 oz of your favorite beer 1. Pre-chill your Hydroflask growler by filling it with ice water 2. Take growler to your favorite brewery and fill it with your favorite beer (ask bartender to dump the ice water) 3. Store refrigerated as long as possible, including the drive to your entry point - keep it in a cooler 4. Convince your friends that it's worth portaging in (it helps if you remind them that you are willing to hand carry it on all portages...) 5. Enjoy your Delicious Cold Beer around the campfire on the first or second night out (duration that the beer will stay cold is dependent on the outdoor temperature - perhaps experiment with underwater cooling methods). Your friends will be willing to portage a growler (or two!) next time. |

Then, later after dinner and a bit of fishing, I take a last slow paddle to the sunken Whiskey and pull her up. Then returning to camp I get a fire going. I put my canoe away, and sip on the cool spirit as the aches of the day slip away ... slight vanilla and caramel notes dance on my tongue as I sip the dusk away and observe the stars waking up. Not a bad way to end a great day in the timber! |

In cold weather I drink Fireball Whiskey and Powdered Hot Apple Cider. I also will bring a nice sipping Bourbon in colder weather. In warmer weather I drink camp Margaritas-two to one mix of Tequila and Cointreau that I mix with either Limeade drink mix or Margarita drink mix. My other go to warm weather beverage is Vodka with any fruity beverage drink mix. |

Bandit Wine. It comes in convenient 1L boxes with a screw on cap, so you can break up the weight into multiple packs. It also, in my opinion, tastes much better than Bota or Black Box. Whiskey, filtered lake water and half a lemon-lime Nuun tab. Get your booze and your electrolytes at the same time! |

Shimbo: ""Delicious Cold Beer" That growler will double as a great coffee thermos, so you can brew in the evening and have a cold camp on the morning with hot coffee. I usually bring a 24 oz thermos for 2 of us. My favorite BWCA/Quetico beverages are 3 oz of everclear mixed in a quart Nalgene bottle with Mio Lemonade or Orange Koolaid. Be careful with the stuff though. It can put the hurt on you, but can also be used as backup stove fuel. Forty Creek whisky with coffee or a bit of water, or boxed Pinot Noir to round it out. I may smuggle the occasional Surley Furious in as well. |
