A Stanley Brand Ambassador, in the summer, McKenna Peterson captains a commercial salmon fishing boat. Come winter, she is a professional big mountain skier traveling the world in search of big lines and soft snow. A Mother’s Lessons In Fishing And Health I am a commercial fisherman by trade, spending long summer days on the ocean in Alaska hunting and catching salmon. It is grueling yet rewarding work; the harvest of many pounds of fish to help feed the world. As the captain of my fishing operation, I make the decisions and hold the responsibility for my vessel and my crew. It is a high pressure, high stakes job where the stresses match the rewards. My mother is a fly fisherman at heart, our family home is surrounded by abundant rivers that carve through unspoiled wilderness and empty desert plains. She finds peace in being outside, rain or shine, fish biting or not. Mom’s relationship with fishing is much different than my own. Fly fishing and commercial fishing have little in common. I applaud the catching. Mom revels the process. Our differing approaches to angling are comedically evident when we fish together at home in Idaho. I, very much the beginner, need to be constantly reminded to approach the river quietly and with intent. Mom says “let it fish”, in response to my impatient cast and re cast. She replaces my fly when lost and helps to untangle my line when I would rather just cut it off and start over. Always calm, collected and with a smile; classic mother behavior. Since the world turned upside down and this pandemic became our new reality, I have been isolated at my mother’s house in Idaho. On March 17th, I started to feel sick. A headache and cough eventually progressed into crippling weakness, fever and fatigue. The sickness would come in waves, overwhelming my body as quickly as it would subside and then overwhelm again. Unexpected and severe. In a matter of days, my independent and confident lifestyle was capsized by fear and vulnerability. 32 years old; sick, scared and deeply confused about the future of our world, I am not feeling like the rugged captain of a fishing boat. The beautiful thing about family being that love supersedes age and autonomy, I am grateful to be in my childhood home. With diligence not to become sick herself, mom is helping me to navigate the ups and downs of this strange sickness. She consoles my worry and untangles my angst, reminding me to be gentle with myself and approach this challenge with patience. The healing process feels just like fishing, mom’s way. In between working from home, taking care of a sick daughter and being the rock of our family; mom escapes to the river. Our family text message chain has been flooded with photos of Rainbow Trout and German Browns, creek scenic and sunsets. It brings me joy to imagine my mother driving down dirt roads in the rain, looking for her secret fishing hole, excited for whatever the day will bring. She approaches the river calm, collected and always with a smile. ABOUT STANLEY The Stanley brand has a rich 100+ year history.

One of the perks of being part of the Stanley team is reading all of the Stanley stories that folks like you send to us every day. Some stories are about how the Stanley bottle that dad brought with him on an ice fishing trip helped them stay warm on a frigid ice fishing trip. There are also the memories of watching dad take his Stanley bottle to work with him every day and later returning with it after a hard day at work. All of these stories exist because of a special guy. A guy that is better known as Dad. With Father’s Day being right around the corner, we figured we’d give you a hand picking the right gift for Dad with the help of our Stanley brand ambassadors. From gifts for your pops to buying something special for a new dad, all of these are great options for the guy who would rather be nowhere else but in the outdoors with his family.

It’s January in the Sea to Sky corridor of British Columbia and warmer than normal temperatures from the current El Niño continue to play with our emotions as we sit around the table and enjoy a few of Canada's finest bottom shelf pilsners. With a lingering uncertainty of snow or rain in the days ahead our minds began to wonder what old man winter had in store for the future? A few beers later winter stoke kicked in and we boarded the pilsner buzz train heading full speed into internet space, analyzing local weather models and forecasts along the way in order to better guide us towards a powder paradise destination. Our journey to the internet and back led us to believe we had only a short window of opportunity for good snow and limited time to prepare. With powder on the brain and an urge to camp in the snow we scrambled our gear together and headed up the Sea to Sky gondola for a backcountry adventure. Upon exiting the gondola we were greeted with cooler temperatures and could see the snow line dancing in the trees not too far ahead. We cinched our ridiculously heavy packs to the shoulders and clicked in to tour mode. As we traveled up the valley, slowly but surely snowflakes began to fall gracefully from the sky as if to welcome our presence into the mountains. This phenomenon of snow forming from freezing water vapor in the atmosphere is rather simple in definition but incredible in its beauty and ability to coat the mountains white with a deep blanket of snow we call powder. One foot sliding in front of the other we left only but a disappearing trail behind as we continued up the valley watching the mountains as they faded from sight and into the clouds of old man winter's home. A few blissful hours later we found ourselves standing where the mountains meet the valley, a perfect spot for basecamp. With tired legs and achy backs we embraced snack time and rehydrated from our Stanley mugs. Daylight was becoming dim so we secured camp and hunkered down in a nearby clearing in the trees. The stoke was high as we burrowed into our insulated cocoons listening to the howling storm while snowflakes brushed along the walls of our tent. In the morning I peered through a small window of our tent to see the fresh snow that had fallen overnight. With an eager appetite I woke the others and prepared a healthy batch of coffee into my trusty Stanley Master Vacuum Bottle, enjoying the companionship and simple pleasures of camping. Knowing our window of opportunity would be short lived and the avalanche danger high in the alpine we kept our decision making conservative and rode some perfect low angle slopes adjacent to camp. Our powder paradise became a reality as Mother Nature provided us with bottomless turns all day, packing in as many laps as our legs could handle. As expected the weather saturated our paradise with rain but we continued to hoot and holler all the way back to camp where cold beers, whiskey and hot noodles awaited. We poured from our flasks into the evening reminiscing on past adventures and embarrassing moments. The stories became exaggerated and the laughs louder as I shared close quarters with my favorite people and as the snow we came for turned to rain, I slowly dozed off into a dreamy state with the potential of the next adventure on my mind.

For a 105 years, Stanley has been known as a classic symbol of being #BuiltForLife. While that can be hard to define, it’s easy to identify. It’s that inner badass that pushes us to do remarkable things and wring the most out of life. Much like the legendary strength of our products that now have a new look, born out of a century old legend. This new look includes the return of our old mythical bear. ABOUT THE STANLEY MYTHICAL BEAR The original bear symbol was born from the folklore of the Stanley brand, a recurring character in many of the stories we hear from our community. He made his debut with a crown that had lightning bolts around it as a nod to the inventor of the Stanley bottle, William Stanley, Jr. He has lived through a few different iterations over the years, while the epic stories keep coming. Since 1913 people have been telling us tales about being outside with their Stanley bottle, whether it be around a campfire, on the ranch, or wondering in the woods, when suddenly a bear shows up. Of course, nobody else was there to corroborate these adventures, and those who were,(?) may have had a few too many to remember. And so, the mythical bear was born. The Stories Tend To Go A Little Something Like This: Dear Stanley, My wife and I went camping. After a few drinks and swinging some tunes around the campfire, we decided to turn in for the night. I was fast asleep and could have sworn I was dreaming when I heard something ruffling around the tent—it was a bear. I woke up with adrenaline running through my veins, reached for my Stanley, and turned in the dark to hit the bear. I was aiming to be a hero, instead I ended up hitting my wife on the head. Well, she turned and whacked me on the side of my head. While the two of us saw stars, the bear didn’t want any part of this and hit the road. Sincerely, The guy with a wife tougher than his Stanley bottle These tall tales get bigger and wilder each time they are told. In fact, it’s why we love them so much. What better way to remind people that the best stories out there are the ones that get better over time and the ones you tell your friends around the campfire (while you’re drinking from your Stanley, of course) than putting that mythical bear right smack-dab on the front of the bottle. So that’s what we did. He’s affectionately known as Stan. And he’s looking right at you, waiting for your next story.

It’s not easy to reinvent a classic, but we took on the challenge. When the best could use a refresh, our team at Stanley didn’t want to create a new legend, we just wanted to give the hero a clean shave. You know, like when a super hero gets a new cape? We did something like that. After months of fine tuning, we’re proud to unveil the improved Stanley Classic Series Collection-- brand spankin’ new for spring 2019. With bigger volumes, stronger durability and better usability, the Classic Series, most recognized by its iconic hammertone green finish that you know and love, has been the go-to vessel for generations. Your granddad may have kept coffee in his Stanley bottle on fishing trips, your dad may have taken that same bottle to his jobsite, and you’re probably still taking that bad boy camping with your pals. By now, that bottle probably holds more stories than it does coffee. It’s been a badass bottle and we’re not telling you to get rid of it, we’re just here to let you know that there’s a new kid in town. Our latest edition of our classic series is cut from the same cloth and is ready to take on new adventures with you, regardless where the road takes you. BIGGER, STRONGER, BETTER: WHAT MAKES THE NEW CLASSIC SERIES SO GOOD? We’ve heard your Stanley stories. We’ve read your reviews. We’ve seen you and your bottle in action, and we took all of those things into consideration when creating an improved series. UPDATED DOUBLE WALL DESIGN The Stanley Classic vacuum bottles and jars now feature increased capacity, without needing to increase the overall size of the vessel. MORE DURABILITY Just when you thought a Stanley was fit to survive a zombie apocalypse, it got even burlier. With the updated construction comes an increase in durability and overall stronger bottle. THOUGHTFUL DESIGN ELEMENTS We told you we’ve been listening to you. We’ve added in the features you’ve been asking for such as a new pour thru stopper design for a smoother pour, and a redesigned handle for better grip. All off these things combined bring you an overall improved drinking experience. What’s The Deal With The Winged Bear? Who Is He? Where Did He Come From? Everyone’s got a good bear story to tell. We’ve heard them all. Even the one about the guy that hit his wife with a Stanley bottle instead of the bear, knocking out his wife in all of the madness. His wife doesn’t believe that there was a bear in the first place, but she probably doesn’t remember much about the night after getting slugged with the Stanley. In case you’re wondering, this is a true story. The new mythical bear logo is inspired by you and all of the people that make Stanley the legendary brand that it is today. The new logo will be featured on our products to signify the tall tales, amazing stories and long-lasting memories that have followed Stanley products throughout the last century. From reeling in the fish of a lifetime to fending off an inquisitive mountain lion at the picnic site, the winged-bear is there to remind everyone that the best stories are often shared with friends over a beverage or meal.

Since O.G. and bottle innovator William Stanley introduced the first all steel vacuum bottle in 1913, the name Stanley has come to mean a trusted and reliable friend to generations. Whether it's the thermos that your granddad got for his 15th birthday that he still uses to this day, or the swanky chrome and black switchback you picked up for a long weekend camping trip, our bottles are made for life and for a lifetime. And when we say a “lifetime” we ain’t fooling: we’ve got a Stanley vacuum bottle here at HQ that was run over by a truck years decades ago and still has coffee in it. Not a single leak. That’s a real bruiser of a bottle right there. When you get to be 100 years old and you make bottles as tough and beloved as ours, you hear some fantastic stories about how people use our products. We’ve heard so many over the years that we coined a word for it: Stanleyness. It’s more than just having an old bottle kicking around that you break out for a sip now and then, it’s a way of a life. And to the people who cherish our bottles like a member of the family, the essence of Stanleyness is about adventure, fun, and pushing things to the limit. These are the stories that define Stanleyness, gathered straight from 100 years of real history from real customers. These are the story of the Unbreakables. 13,435ft - Hot Coffee At Low’s Peak, Mount Kinabalu “It was 1.30AM, the temperature had been near freezing for most of the night. I put on my jacket and long johns, headed out to the camp pantry with my Stanley outdoor vacuum bottle. Honestly it was the first time I’ve ever tried using it. “I poured in a few packets of coffee and sugar, added boiling water, locked it up tight and placed it in my bag and got ready for the hike to the summit at 2.30AM. By the time we were on the mountain, pretty much everything I froze. The warm water I brought in a separate - non Stanley bottle - was ice cold halfway up, so I had doubts as to whether my Stanley bottle filled with the hot coffee I made earlier could withstand what the mountain had to offer. My team reached the summit at approximately 6:00AM, by that time the sun was almost up and the temperature was at freezing point. We snapped a few pictures, and I finally took out my Stanley bottle, shared a cup with my buddy and I dare say the coffee was still boiling hot. Instant coffee never tasted as good as it did 13,435ft up in the sky. My Stanley bottle has proven its worth, no doubt.” -Mohamad Adam Bin Mohamad Yakob Like A Phoenix From The Ashes “My mother bought me my Stanley thermos in 1979 when I joined the plumbing trade. I was working in Maryland years ago and the hotel I was staying at had a freak gas explosion and burnt down to the ground. I was not there at the time, but all my belongings were. I lost everything I had on me there. After the fire was put out and the rubble sifted through, the only thing left standing, basically untouched? My Stanley thermos. “I’ve used that thermos every day since then. It’s not green anymore and has quite a few dents, but still keeps my coffee piping hot all day, every day. I use it at work and when I am hunting or fishing. It is very seldom not with me. It joined the workforce with me and it is going to retire with me!” -Greg Gillard A 1600 Foot Bounce “In 1978, I worked in an underground mine. While waiting to go down to working level, my Stanley was knocked from my hand and rolled into the shaft. I wrote it off, but later that day when checking the sump pumps, I found it floating in the sump. It was banged up from falling 1600 feet and the cup was missing, but otherwise completely solid. I’m still using the same thermos to this day!” -Monte L. Generation To Generation “As a young boy, I can remember with warm feelings my father getting up early in the morning much before dawn. Sometimes I would get up and see the Stanley sitting on the counter next to my father’s huge lunch box. I can remember dad mentioning that there was only one thermos worth packing into the woods - Stanley. He used to say that there was nothing worse than lukewarm coffee. I could remember thinking that one day I would grow up and proudly pack my Stanley into the woods. I soon grew up and went off to college. During the summers I worked in woods. I bought my first Stanley that first summer and proudly carried it off to the woods. When you had a Stanley it was a status symbol. “Now 35 year later, my own son has gone off to college and is working construction during the summer. I get up each morning at 5AM and pack his lunch and fill his first Stanley. He said that it is an amazing thermos. He too proudly carries it onto the job site. My grandfather, my father, myself and now my son all packed Stanley thermoses. From generation to generation, Stanley thermoses remain a family institution. Someday, my grandchildren will pack a Stanley.” -Dennis H. A Badge Of Honor, A Bullet Graze “My Stanley classic bottle has endured 10 years of extreme abuse across the US, Mexico, Central America, Chile, and Peru. While it is now officially the ugliest thermal bottle on the planet, it works like the day it was purchased. Its badge of honor is a bullet graze obtained on a construction site in Guatemala during a robbery attempt. I plan to be buried with Stanley.” -Dave Moreno Stanley Vs. An 18 Wheeler “This is short and sweet: My husband unknowingly dropped his thermos under his truck. He then rolled over it with all 18 wheels, loaded at 80,000 lbs. When he noticed it was gone, he backed up to find it - rolling over it again! “When he got out of the truck, he pulled out the thermos - which only had minor scratches on it! He poured out steaming hot coffee that had been there for at least 8 hours.” -Anonymous Think you have a tale of #Stanleyness that belongs in the canon of Stanley Stories? Let us know!

Our fans aren’t just adventurers and mischief makers - they can be some of the most creative, innovative people in the world. We’re talking certified geniuses when it comes to taking something that already works better than anything else at keeping food and drink hot or cold and finding totally unexpected ways to use a Stanley. Yeah, we’re talking about you. Did we get your attention? Over the years, we’ve seen some pretty out-there uses of Stanley products that we just have to share with y’all. Be forewarned: These are all user generated ideas, so proceed at your own risk! A Stanley Bottle Lamp Years ago, someone turned one of our classic Stanley bottles into a fully-functional lamp. We use it every day at Stanley HQ! If you want to turn your Stanley into a lamp like ours, House of Hawthornes has some pretty straightforward instructions. Let there be light! Ship Hot Or Ice Cold Coffee To A Bud Look, no one is saying you should willfully subvert U.S. Postal code and ship anything less-than-legal across state lines. In fact, we’re definitely saying NOT to (sorry home brewmasters). But we’ve heard tales of enterprising folks who, looking to surprise and delight their friends, filled a Stanley bottle with piping hot coffee/soup/etc, packed it up tight, and overnighted it to their friends across the country. The bottle arrived with the contents still steaming. #BallerMove Shipping Vaccines No joke, we’ve had scientists and researchers tell us that they’ve packed Stanley bottles with ice and used them to ship vaccines. Stanley’s unparalleled thermal retention technology means that the vaccine stays viable and protected on a long trip. Gives new meaning to the phrase “my Stanley is a real lifesaver!” Cooking Food In A Stanley Since our bottles retain heat just as well as they do cold, a Stanley can be a great way to cook simple healthy meals like oatmeal, dried beans and whole grain cereals. The dudes at Thermoscooking.com can get you the skinny on that. Transporting Cooked Hot Dogs This is apparently a thing people do with Stanley flasks, particularly in europe. Hey, we don’t judge.

SEATTLE, WA (July 12, 2017) – With an entire category built on the technology they invented, the team at Pacific Market International’s (PMI) STANLEY brand continues to perfect upon double-wall vacuum insulation. For spring 2018, the Stanley brand introduces Ceramivac™ technology, combining the smooth-fired feel of a ceramic mug with legendary Stanley insulation. Ceramivac™ finds its way into a new collection – the GO Series of new vacuum bottles and vacuum tumblers. And while the iconic green hammertone color and finish will remain the bedrock of the Stanley brand, the team is infusing fresh new colors and finishes into the collection for next spring. “Stanley took the best features of ceramic – its smooth finish and familiar feel – and simply made it better with the application of vacuum insulation, resulting in a new option for those consumers who prefer a ceramic experience but still want the durability of stainless steel and the thermal benefits of vacuum insulation. We’re excited to introduce your new favorite, the GO Series with Ceramivac™,” states Kelly Kraus, Vice President of PMI’s Stanley brand. With double-wall vacuum insulation and a Ceramivac™ finish, the new GO Series with Ceramivac™ is car-cup compatible, dishwasher safe, BPA free and carries the brand’s lifetime guarantee.

Introduced in spring 2017, Stanley is adding new vacuum water bottles to the Master Series which utilizes QuadVac™ technology – adding a double layer barrier to the double wall vacuum insulation for industry leading thermals. The most durable water bottle on the market with double density stainless steel, the Master Series is a professional grade hydration solution for extreme conditions. Available in both 36- and 22-oz sizes, the Master Series Vacuum Water bottles are leak-proof, packable thanks to the fold-down, locking finger loop.
