RE: Coffee Tip for Campers or Travellers
I still make cowboy coffee. I use a coffee pot sometimes unless I am hunting alone or just with one other person. Then I just use a small sauce pan of about 2 pints. Boil the water, throw in exactly a half a handful of coffee plus 2 smidgeons, boil for 3 seconds, then remove from the fire. if you cover the pan, it will work better. Let set for 4 minutes and then pour 1/4 cup of cold water and the grounds will settle. If the pot has a bail, then swing the pot around with your arm as if you were winding up for a fast pitch soft ball throw. This setlles the grouds too and alarms everone in camp, which is fun.
