Review: Trekmates Flameless Cook Flask

It's 5am, and you've been woke up by the rain beating so hard on the canvas that you're starting to think maybe it's in your head and you will never ever not hear it. It cold, its wet, and either there are wolves in West Flanders, or that is some serious wind. Nothing would make you feel better than a nice hot coffee...well maybe being indoors might, but lets be real here. There is too much wind for your cooker to stay lit, and you really don't want to have to de-sleepingbag anyway. That's when you need the Trekmates Flameless Cook Flask.

Available here

This little flask will save your life. I can't give you all the technical details, but I am able to give you the jist. It's a stainless steel cup, inside a plastic one. The heating pack chemicals goes into the plastic one, and the water for your coffee goes into the metal one, clip the lid on and wait 10 minutes. Ta-dahh hot water without leaving your tent (It doesn't create any fumes, so it's totally safe to use inside your tent).

It might seem a little gimmicky to you, but that just means you've never experienced a Belgian winter morning under canvas!

I give it 5 stars! Cannot wait to give the rest of this line a try!
