Everyone likes to take a hot drink out in the field while hunting, fishing, watching their kid's football game, or standing around on a frozen lake ice fishing. So a thermos is usually one of the items that is brought along to warm your spirits. The only problem is a long day in the field or out on the ice eventually allows the contents of your thermos to cool. While pondering this dilema the other day as I folded some laundry, I encountered yet another pair of almost perfectly good socks where one had a hole in it. Naturally unless you have another matching pair with a similar hole, you end up with a half pair of good socks. Now, instead of sending both socks to the rag bin for future painting jobs, dedicate the good sock as an insulator for your thermos. Just slip the sock all the way up over the thermos and enjoy a little warmer coffee or chocolate throughout the day.  |

maybe I have a "expensive" thermos I not sure cause Ive had it so long I cant remember how much I paid for it, but man I can drink coffee out of it all day and have one on te way home and its nearly as hot as when I left in the morning. But a good tip non the less. something I have always done is fill the thermos with piping hot water about 5 minutes before my coffee is ready to go in, dump the water out and the thermos is pre warmed. |

That is a good idea and myself I use an upperpart of a boot liner that wore out on the bottom and wrap it around my thermos which helps to keep it warm. But I would like to know what a good make "name" of a thermos is. Bassaddict mentioned he had a good thermos . |

The name on the bottom of the thermos is home presence. |
