Adventures and celebratory drinks are just one way to describe what this company, High Camp Flasks is all about. High Camp Flasks designs barware products for your favorite spirits for you to enjoy after a day of outdoor adventures. The gentlemen behind this innovative and exciting company are Whit Gautreaux and Nic Barisone.

The idea of High Camp Flasks initial product, "The Firelight Flask," came from Nic while he was on a camping trip with his brothers. As evening rolled around; it was time to pour some whiskey in his favorite whiskey cup. Upon doing this, one of his brothers who didn't have an extra cup asked Nic if he had another cup that he could use. He didn't want to use the only cup he had, which he uses for coffee. Unfortunately, Nic did not have an extra cup, and that's when he discovered the idea. He thought of creating a stainless steel canister that can secure a couple of tumblers for these type of adventures. His focus for the design aesthetic must have a "cool" look and marketed as an alcohol product.

After that, at a friend's wedding, Nic met Whit. They instantly hit it off as friends with both having that love for the outdoors. Whit happened to have an engineering background, and as Nic shared his idea, that's when Whit took his expertise and brought the idea to life. Whit strives for perfection and loves the idea of bringing something from paper to reality. The partnership was secure, and High Camp Flasks was born.

In this podcast, Nic and Whit talk about their experience with working with China manufacturers and how they almost had to throw in the towel, and how running a Kickstarter campaign is stressful but yet a fantastic tool to leverage. Both of these gentlemen are relentless. They believe in their vision, and they are on their way of building a lifestyle company that lets them be where they want to be...the outdoors.

High Camp Flasks is an innovative company that found a niche where the opportunity is robust. I am excited to see what is coming up next in their product line. I cheer to you, High Camp Flasks, for your tenaciousness and to be doing what you love.
