Ah, so much gratitude for spring here in the UK too 🍃 It's warming up, and the birds have returned - it's beautiful. I'm loving the experimentation with this coffee... I've found myself putting olive oil in more and more things, is coffee the next?! 🤣
@@MarkYoungBushcraftthan you have some serious sized woodpeckers "over there"😊. Not sure if we can have such woodpecker damages here in Europe. Maybe on dead trees?
Great video as always Mark! I am Norwegian and I can't pronounce that word LOL. I have also seen people make them out of wood and they work really well. Olive oil is very healthy for us all. I have heard people putting that and also coconut oil in coffee to make it smoother. I really need to get me a micha pot. I love coffee in the woods and my favorite is "bush coffee" in my canteen cup right on a fire. Have a wonderful day!🙂
Lovely spot, Mark. Woodpecker. I'll have to think of interesting ways to make and enjoy my cup of tea...I don't think tea oleato would be very appealing, but who knows?
Yes, pileated woodpecker. I was watching them do the damage but could not get a shot of them. Tea Oleato. I will give that a try. Thanks for commenting
As always, thumbs up. I can imagine that this brew would be quite tasty. I was personally glad that you did not use Starbucks coffee. That stuff is horrid in my opinion. lol However there seems to plenty of folks who believe very differently on that subject. Years ago my wife and I were in the Seattle airport while traveling through. We both badly needed some coffee and so were enticed by a brand known as "Seattle's best". Even though neither one of us waste food and will eat stuff we do not like in order to keep from wasting it, If memory serves me correctly, I don't think we were able to finish that coffee, it was soooo bad. That coffee stands out in my mind as probably the worst coffee I may have ever had. Starbucks coffee reminds me of that coffee that we relabeled "Seattles worst" coffee. Connie and I were in the Anchorage Alaska airport yesterday on a return trip from having been down South for a month. Having jet lag and a bad need of coffee for both of us, I passed by the Starbucks booth and on to one that served Kaladi Brothers coffee, a local roaster. They were two very good cups of coffee that really hit the spot.
LOL.. Seattle's worst. Love it Lonnie. I think, at least around here, Starbucks was the first place serving "good" coffee, or at least the first place people took notice of in a big way. There have always been small craft roasters and coffee shops that made better coffee but they were not a big chains. Let me know if you try this recipe out. Thanks for commenting
What a wonderful spring day! We’ve had a couple nice days, then it snowed like crazy, and now we’re back to never ending cloud and rain. You mentioned Costco. I’m a late hold out, and have just started enjoying the store. However, I’m guessing you’ve noticed that they don’t seem to have a clue about keto. There may be no starches, but there almost always seems to always be a ton of sugar.
Hi Jim, There is a lot of not-good stuff to eat at Costco for sure but, if you look around you can find a few Keto items. I get my monk fruit there as well as olive oil, keto granola and a few keto snacks. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Yeah yeah, don’t get me wrong. There’s tons of good food there for keto. Like I could never afford almond flour, if I had to go somewhere else, for example. But it’s those "keto" snacks that I’m talking about. They have a couple good ones, but most of them are very sweet.
Mark, it's always a pleasure to have my morning tea and discover that You uploaded a video. IMHO, Costco's Kirkland EV Olive Oil is the best out there.
Mark did you secretly drink four or five cups of coffee? I think it was Mark jumping up to 7-8 meters off the ground grinding his whole bean coffee on the tree for his fifth cup.
Mark, another cool video from the forest. The coffee is also very good, I also used almond milk even though I'm not on the keto diet :) In my country - Poland, in the city of Gniezno, we have a museum of the beginnings of the Polish state. This museum presents, among others: firlejki (scand. tvare) from the early Middle Ages. This tool has several dozen proper names in Poland: firlejka, mątewka, rogólka, rogal, kutewka, mątwica, koziołek and a few others :)) Regards
I certainly can understand the olive oil taking away some of the bitterness And the var whisk, ( t is silent) is of a soft 1/4" feather stick? Fun coffee visit.
The tree was damaged because you had an itch in the middle of your back that you couldn’t get to. 🤪 The scenery looks great. Starbucks sells olive oil in the stores here In California. A manager at the local place I go to gave me some for free. To be honest, I just get basic coffee, so I had no idea they added olive oil in some of their recipes. Wait, was there a small fan at the bottom of the stove? It looked like it was hooked up to a power bank. ✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦✌️
Yes, I normally make coffee in the Moka pot starting with hot water to shorten the brew time and make a less bitter taste. I did not do it this time but may in the future. Thanks for commenting
Mark … I both love you and your channel; I truly do. It pains me that you mentioned Star••••s coffee shop. They lost my business forever when they refused to mail paid for product to the Middle East during Desert Shield, Desert Storm, and Enduring Freedom. Not only did they do it, they were proud they did it and bragged about it. The men and women who were over there (and several were/are my friends) were over there because our Commander in Chief ORDERED them to go. Whether or not you agree with the conflicts or not, that was a lousy and unconscionable way to treat our men and women in uniform!!! Star••••s actually bragged about it!!! Please know I will forever love your channel love the man behind the channel, but because a couple of my friends left blood over there, I felt like I had to say something. Until your next video and beyond, respectfully, happy trails, best wishes, take care, be safe, the Lord’s peace, and God bless!!! Chuck Knight. ✝️👨🌾
Sir respectfully I think you’ve been misinformed of the situation you are referencing; I would know, I was in retail management in the U.S. for Starbucks, at least during the more recent military operations under GW Bush; I wasn’t old enough during the initial conflict in Desert Storm. The stores in my area had collection bins for people to purchase coffee and then have local people ship coffee to people stationed overseas. As a company, Starbucks did not want to handle customers product, which it was once they purchased it whether they took possession or not, and then potentially have it not go to where it was intended to. Starbucks as a company isn’t a shipping company and the logistics of trying to get coffee there from customers in good condition was too difficult a challenge. But again to that point, we let customers buy coffee and give it to local groups to ship to the military…At that point it was out of our hands and between the customer and the people in the local organizations. Granted, I can’t speak to what was being done on the other side of the country but that is what we were doing in our region (about 120 corporate stores) for at least a time. So take it or leave it but I think you may be broadly vilifying a company over a very nuanced situation without actual direct first hand knowledge. -a Starbucks retail management partner 2002 - 2015
I am sorry to hear of this controversy. I can't comment on it but I can say our Canadian Tim Hortons coffee shops did set up shop in the conflict zones
Mark, the tree damage looks like a leftover deer or moose rub from the fall to me. That would be my first guess based on similar damage done by deer in the midwestern part of the US. May second guess would be a bear rub or clawing at the tree. Really enjoyed your video and and thank you for sharing.
Depends on how high the damage is . Looks to much damage for moose or deer . Do you get wood pecker around there . I'm in Australia so not great with your wildlife . If you were here in Australia I'd say cockatoo.
Enjoyed the hike outdoors with you. Are you a ways from the base in N. S. that would be a major target of Russia in a nuclear attack? Be safe my friend.
I had a friend who told me years ago about where in NS the target zones were. He was in the know at the time. Something to think about. Thanks for commenting
Great video, i also enjoy por over coffee outdoors. I would be interested in how to make a tvare, if you dont mind making a video. Thanks for sharing, enjoyed as always.
Mark, do you know the old trick of putting a big pad of butter in your coffee before bed? It's supposed to keep you warmer at night due to the slow burning lipids. This kinda reminds me of it. Ever tried it? Future episode?
I have not heard that one. I have a video on Bullet Proof Coffee that uses butter and I agree eating fat or protein at night will help keep you warm but I wonder about consuming it with caffeine will cancel out the benefit. Thanks for commenting
Great timing. I cam back from that trip and found an imbedded tick. That inspired me to make a video this week on ticks. Hope to have it out this weekend or next. Thanks for commenting
Very interesting coffee make, enjoyed the process. I think coconut oil would also be good. The shredded bark on the tree looks like bear marking because it appeared quite high, as if the bear was on it's hind legs. The camera can be deceiving on height so if it was actually lower I will say deer antler scraping. If there are mainland moose in that area I may have guessed those as well if high. Thanks for sharing you day out. :) :)
Hi Jacky. Good guesses but it was pileated wood peckers. I was watching them at work but they flew off before I could record them. I will try the coconut oil version. Thanks for commenting
Nice review . As a coffee enthusiast from the Country of Brown Cheese i like this.. Starbucks i need to order online i guess when living here far North in Norway. But this is a must try ,,, Visp bushvisp
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Visp yes . sound about the same on Norwegian and English , we say in "bushen" when out in the dense forest or bush for an all-round word when out camping and hiking the forest . Kaffeost is not the same as Brown cheese . kaffe ost is white and very different taste.. kaffeost you can make at home look "oppskrift-pa-kaffeost"
Right on Mark, nice looking cup of coffee. When I see that kind of damage to a tree I always think it is Woodpeckers that do it, although I haven't caught one in the act so I'm not certain. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Steve. You are right on. I actually watched a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers working in the tree. They flew off before I could get their picture. Thanks for commenting
I didn’t know you lived in a post card!! Absolutely stunning!
I am blessed to have this so close to my home. Thanks for commenting
Love the video Mark! Your hike/coffee chat videos are my favourites. Cheers from Ontario - having an Oleato right now while watching this!
I am enjoying making these videos as well. Thanks for commenting

Hi Jonny. You are a bit ahead of us I think. Soon though. BTW... I have recorded my review. Longer than I would like but hopefully comprehensive
Not sure how high the damage was, but I think it is from 🦌 or elk. They rub their antlers against trees to get rid off the skin.
Reasonable guess. We don't have elk but we do have moose. In this case it was woodpeckers. Thanks for commenting

Actually quite good. Thanks for commenting
Beautiful setting and an interesting variation on a coffee. I'm going to try it (probably at home, though). Thanks, Mark!
I tried it at Starbucks and at home a few times before making it in the woods. Somehow tasted better in the woods. Thanks for commenting

Glad you liked the video. I have been to Cornwall and enjoyed the scenery there as well. Thanks for commenting
Mark, is that tvare made from the tip of a conifer? Possibly for or spruce?
Yes, it could be made from the tops of any evergreen but I find fir and pine to be the easiest to work with. Thanks for commenting
would really like to know how to make at Tvare. looks interesting

Perhaps timing could be improved by tweaking the sequence -- pre-heat the moka pot, heat and froth the milk, then finish the moka pot.
Yes, I normally make coffee in the Moka pot starting with hot water to shorten the brew time and make a less bitter taste. I did not do it this time but may in the future. Thanks for commenting
Is the olive oil used a light olive oil?
No, it is an extra-virgin olive oil. Dark and full flavour. You could try a light version if you wanted to. Thanks for commenting
