Cowboy Coffee and Campfire Cooking! Green Beret Bushcraft Camp Part Five
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- Part Five of the Green Beret Bushcraft Camp Build using traditional gear and hand tools only! During this episode I use a natural spring for water, show you my favorite fire lay that I call the "elevator fire lay", show you how I make my coffee, and cook some oatmeal for breakfast.
This series is about a return to more traditional bushcraft skills and enjoying myself doing a solo overnight camping trip, while building the bushcraft camp with more traditional bushcraft gear. I have chosen to use vintage camping gear like an Oilskin Tarp, a selection of leather and waxed canvas items, and some hand forged items that are truly one-of-a-kind like my marlinspike. In addition, there are some items that would be considered more modern mixed in there.
The focus of this series was not teaching the skills by the numbers; it was meant to show "skills in context" as they would be used in a bushcraft camp setup.

This is so relaxing to watch. The man in his natural habitat, enjoying a good old coffee.
I don't care if your 5 feet outside your backdoor. I appreciate the time and effort that goes into these videos. The content and teaching style is what most are here for. Thank you for what you have done and what you do now. No matter where its from.
Well said. We care about instruction not about whether they are representing every potential hardship. I know so much work goes into making the scenarios and videos. Kudos to him.
I second that...
The instruction is valid whether their in the back yard, or deep in the bush.
Yup.....the content in the education is worth more than location....
That tripod trick was possibly the best thing I've seen on RUclips in the last several months! So cool!
Bushcrafter: Hold The sticks like this. Now wrap the cord around this and over this and under this and then back around here and... This guy: Put the loop over the sticks. Now flip the middle stick over.
For real
When I brew my "Cowboy" coffee I keep a little cold water on the side. Add grounds when water is warm, let come to rolling boil for 2-3 minutes. Add the cold water and that will pull all the grounds to the bottom. My old man used to grab a cold rock from the lake to do the same thing as the water. The boiling pulls a little more acid out of the beans ... smooth cup o joe.
Stop making me hungry!!! Sheesh! Pass the coffee please.
Spring water, NOTHING is better!!
Thx for the vid, and don't worry about background noise, it's fine.
That is so cool. You are like listening to a woodsy Bob Ross.
Thanks! I liked Bob Ross!
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret Your voice is steady, clear and relaxed. It's really excellent for imparting the knowledge that you're laying down. Cheers!
That is such an apt description of your teaching style. Great comparison badkarma11.
Bros Cut is going to be generational🔥😮💨
Love this format! You and Corporals corner are my new favorites.
Dave rounds out my best three.
Ok, you got me back at Chock full of nuts....love that coffee!
Moccasins, my favorite footwear, the preferred footwear of woodsman for years (hard sole or soft sole, low cut or high top as terrain or weather dictates). Coffee and Oatmeal simple and quick, perfect. I like to add a little butter if I have it handy. Really enjoying this series.
GREAT TRICK WITH THE TRIPOD BUD.
Good practical advice with enough technical, for good measure.
One of the best channels out thee on survival and outdoors skillsets. Totally underrated channel. No fluff and flash just useful knowledge and info
Nice outing my friend love the old school set up .
I just love coming across easier ways of doing things. That tripod lash though. Wow. That alone was worth the entire video. Thanks brother!
Love the cowboy coffee
I just had to watch this video over again (lost count) .Definitely not the first,third or fifth. Thanks to Shawn for recommending you Matt, and Dan. I really do appreciate your work.
We all focus on fire skills, nice to see cooking skills and of course coffee skills highlighted! Maybe a suggestion for additional content is to talk about other semi-permanent camp needs. How to manage food storage away from animals, human bodily function concerns, and such. I enjoy your delivery and respect your knowledge sharing. Thank you and your family for your military service!
After you brew the coffee...if you swirl in cold water, the cold takes the grounds to the bottom. 😊👍
Cowboy style's what's kept me happy.
Any filtering traps the essential oil... where the caffeine resides. Giddy Up! -11b4p 82nd
You will never guess what I had for breakfast. I came into my office turned on the computer and started your video while eating breakfast. Sumatra coffee, steel cut oats and a 1/4 cup of raisins. LOL Bruce from the City of Orange in Orange county California.
I see you measure ingredients like my favorite RUclips cook, Cowboy Kent Rollins, I like it and that coffee looks mighty tasty (that’s not saying much coming from a guy who drinks instant Folgers). Glad to see your co-star Ripp Sleeve is still hangin’ in there too, hope he makes it to the end of the series. All jokes aside, I’m diggin’ the format and think it’s pretty cool to see the basic stuff like coffee and breakfast, I get to learn something from it as well as get ideas for what to bring and do when I’m out in the woods, so thanks for that and looking forward to the next episode.
Ripp Sleeve had me laughing pretty hard
I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking of Cowboy Kent Rollins with that!
Another one of my favorite youtubers. Great food with country comedy. "Ripp sleeve." Well played.
I always was thinking your favorite cook is gordan ramsey
Awesome video and over nighter!!!
Thank u for bottle toggle idea!
GB2, thanks for the vid. Good call on the raisins.
Fastest tri-pod ever. Thank you for the lesson good sir! 👍🏼
Relaxing to watch
"Precision cooking" always the best. :O)
LOL! You and Connie do some serious “Precise Living” up there in AK! Learned a bunch from you, too! Be safe!
@@chaaazgould4828 Glad you enjoy the videos.
Besides skill one of the things that stands out in your work is the tone that comes through on your videos... the tone of respect for resources. It's lacking in so many you tube survival skill people. Much respect for your work.
That caterpillar develops into a tiger moth
would someone please buy this man a new flannel and slippers?? sheesh! Dude deserves better. HAHAHA!! Love your videos. Please keep them coming. Thank you
Finally someone that has the right idea, you can only take so many layers off before you get put on a list, no law about puttin more layers on.
Thanks! Keep doing what you're doing.
"I'm pretty sure it's safe to drink... cause I've drank out of it." Absolutely love it.. haha
New to your channel sir. Thank you for everything 🙏🤌
I love being the first up at camp, starting the fire and enjoying a cup of coffee while the camp is still quiet. I cheat though and use a camp percolator. Awesome content as usual.
Me too on the getting up first. It's all about the camping. I love to set up and cook.
I just found your channel and I've been heavily binging all your stuff. Just wanted to say, it stuck out to me again in this video: the way you voice and explain your stream of consciousness is exemplary. Thinking out loud and letting us know all the things you're keeping in mind while you work out how you're going to do something, it really helps reinforce good habits of how to think about solutions. Thanks a bunch man, keep the content coming.
Several months behind you doing the same things. You are correct, watching Joshua teach is great, he understands that some people need more visual than spoken words to learn. I'm a fan.
Thanks Josh.
Try Turkish coffee or the finest grind possible. I live in Israel and that's how we make our coffee daily. Ummm ummm good!
That Tri pod idea is great
Arguably the most important C of all.
If you shock the cowboy coffee with a bit of cold water it helps the grounds settle a bit more.
Mors kohanski
I was just about to say the same, I usually add a tablespoon of cold water after mixing, and leave it for 3-5 minutes to settle. No grounds in the cup :)
Where we go hiking/backpacking there are plenty of lakes and streams in the area we frequent. Only thing we have to worry about is purification and not drinking water sources that are contaminated with mercury (etc.) from mining. Whenever you find a water source like the spring you found, it really simplifies life. ;) Great video. Thank you.
At last....A REAL camping helper. I was amazed that I had not thought of doing the tripod tying that way. So easy and secure. Thanks heaps.
You have invented a new flavor, maple chock full o'nuts
Just rewatched this and man I can’t wait to get back out for some dirt time. !!! Add a little bacon and some fry bread to the mix of breakfast and you will want a nap after it lol!!! Great video the first time I watched and better the second time around.
Nicely done,nothing beats a warm brew in the morning
Im enjoying your videos.
The Australian ‘swagmen’ used to use their bush pots as their primary water container when walking from jobs, including during the middle of summer when temps in the sun get up to 117 degrees F. The main issue that stops people from doing this these days is that we don’t want to have to carry the pot in our hands all the time, but if you could come up with a way to make a large bush pot with a screw on lid that sealed properly so it could be carried in the top of a pack without spilling I reckon you’d make a fortune, that would another function to the already very versatile bush pot. The Vargo ‘Bot’ (bottle pot) is an example but it’s too small for carrying a decent supply of water and would need a bail handle etc but would great, as long as your next camp site where you would use the bush pot for cooking is also near water to replenish your supply until your next camping spot. But a 32 Oz bottle of water on your belt and another 120 Oz bush pot full of water with a sealed lid in your pack to replenish your bottle from every hour in summer 👍🏻
tasters choice instant coffee. the best
I forget a lot of stuff, but I'm going to remember the tripod tieoff.
Small goals to start with, for me
Porridge is the best thing for breakfast in my opinion.
Finally, someone who brought a lighter!
What I call "practical bushcraft"
Yes ! But those things are made in Covid land, and I've had more than a few that crapped out after 3-4 uses. That's why you should always have other means available for fire making... Extra lighter(s), Hurricane matches, ferocerium "fero" rod, magnesium shavings bar, magnifying glass... ...
Like your shirt got one just like it wouldn't give it up for the world.
There was an Artesian well on my grandpa's farm cold and refreshing on a hot Georgia summer's day. Nice trick with the Tripod. Stewed raisians
always a great addition to a meal. Stay safe.
Yours are without a doubt the finest survival type videos on here, always watch each one to the end, thank you for them, from the UK.
If you add a little cold water to the coffee right before you pour it, it helps drop the grounds to the bottom. Give it a try!
When your coffee is done, add a little cold water. I will drive the grounds to the bottom.
Everyone keeps saying that, but all the grounds are already at the bottom without the cold water. I'm not saying it doesn't work, I just haven't needed to do this step to get the same result
Thumbs up!!!

During my hitchhiking days I camped in a field with trees keeping me hidden from the road and in the middle of the night the road construction people set up the lights which I slept through, I even slept through them turning on the lights. What I didn't sleep through was the jackhammer. It was a rude awakening. Awesome video my friend.
Thanks , learning more every video,that oatmeal is looking good I like raisins and ground sunflower seeds in mine.the tripod trick is gold.cant wait for the next vid.Drive on.Northern Nevada ridge runner.out.
I want to go home from work now and make raisin oatmeal, why haven't I ever thought of that lol
Have you tried this?
Bring a campfire kettle full of water to a boil. In a bowl, mix eggs (shells and all), coffee, salt and 1 cup water. Pour into the boiling water and let sit for a few minutes. Pour in 1 cup of cold water and when coffee granules and eggs rise to the top the coffee is clarified, it's ready.
I haven’t tried that. I just do it the way I showed in the video. Grounds all sink to the bottom and it’s ready.
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret I have never tried a percolator before. I got a mixpresso electric one on amazon after doing some research ( Brands all seem like a mixed bag for such a simple machine. ). Made a nice smooth pot with the yellow and black original roast. Thanks for turning me on to it. I have only ever tried drip and cold brew.
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret Folks are making this more complicated than it needs to be. I boil mine for a few minutes, set it aside for a few and pour. No grounds, smooth, rich flavor. Done.
Awesome! I learned several new things on this one. I need to look up the knots and practice. I really don't know any of them and best uses.
You have a great voice for this kind of stuff. We need you for Cardinal baseball play by play! Love the work! Honest and forthright. Keep it up!
Subscribed just based on the super quick tripod
Can't beat cowboy coffee. I always made it in the Tactical Operations Center (TOC) on the last day or two at the National Training Center (NTC) during winter rotations. The large generators were usually taken down and only a small one was left on to power the radios. The small generators would trip if a coffee pot was connected.
I've been taking oatmeal when I head out for a long time, it's easy to pack, quick to make, I also had raisins.. Now for coffee, I usually will take the instant of the coffee bags (like tea bags) there also easy to pack and quick to make.
You're an espresso machine man. That creamy on top is called Crema. It's the essence of a tasty real quality coffee. Easy set up tripod. Thanks for this video, Sir.
In Europe we call this style "turkish coffee", and for a full cultural appropriation (or how I see it, appreciation :P ) we call the cream "caimac". Since I learned how to make it a few years back, I've donated all my other coffee-making devices and I'm left with a simple pot and the stove. Love the brew and it also gives the process a sort of ritualistic aspect.
Great tip for the quick tripod.
Great video as always and it's also relaxing to watch. You're doing are great service for everyone that wants to learn about bushcrafting techniques etc. I've always had a great amount of respect for the SF guys. I am a retired paratrooper and went to jumpmaster school in the 1980s in Bad Tolz, "West Germany" when 10th group had a small detachment stationed there running the school. The team members there were the most professional and no nonsense soldiers I've ever had the pleasure to train with and be trained by. Airborne!
"Marlin Spike Hitch" for the bush pot toggle -- great tip! Better than what I was doing and I'll make the change next time out. Thanks!
I just found your channel and we are on the same path. As I watch this episode, I can only think that Kephart would have enjoyed sharing a camp with you. I’ll keep watching. Skillet
It's only Cowboy coffee if it's made for Cowboys. Yours is Gray Beard Coffee. But "Cowboy Kent Rollins" would be proud of you.
I'll have to agree with your wife, I'm not a fan of cooked raisins in oatmeal are cooked in anything for that matter, I can tolerate them Raw but prefer currents. Appreciate all you do thanks!
I usually buy the instant single serving. Or buy the coffee in the tea bag but I am going to definitely try that great video 🇺🇸
Got to love some cowboy coffee!
Thank you that this didn't turn into one of those blackrifle coffee plugs.
Nahhh I just like regular coffee. Now if BRCC wants to make a Gray Bearded Blend for me (like a good cheap house blend 😂) we might be onto something.
I lived in SLC Utah. (Where they’re main building is.) they’re coffee isn’t any better than a bag of Folgers 1850
Ok, the tripod loop was very cool !!! Haven’t seen that before 👍👍👍
Had to make me some oatmeal after watching you, just not over a campfire.😊
That was the easiest tripod I ever seen. Going to remember that.
I've got to learn about "fisherman's loop". That tripod technique is ingenious.
Look on my 11 Essential Knots video
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret Accomplished. Thank you.
Someday I'd like to have a sanctuary like that of my own.
Mr. Joshua
Greetings from across the ocean!
Where I live we add a glowing piece of charcoal or wood to the coffee...it will whistle and dance for a couple of seconds and send the grounds to the bottom... it also gives a little flavour, and if you add just a liiitle pinch of salt...it just brings up the flavour of the coffee (it's a question of taste, bacause I do not put sugar or honey to my coffee, so the slightly salted flavour is ok).
Thanks for your work and your teachings... there are too many sofa coachers and tv stars coachers on the loose out there... and this can be quite dangerous for the "green-horns" in bushcraft or prepperedness!
You never know when those little skills will be necessary...people who laughed at me yesterday might be begging at my door tomorrow...
In this moment I am confined to my house because of the Co19... neither me nor my son are allowed to go out shopping...so we will have to eat, drink and ass-wipe with the "reserves" crazy-dad piled-up... we will be out of bread today... I can live with my "sailors' cookies" but my son likes bread very much... As I think I still have a bag of flour and some yeast I promised him I'll bake some bread tomorrow... and if we are short of butane (which I prefer to keep for hot baths) I 'll cook it in the charcoal outside! Tomorrow "crazy bushcraft dad" will be the belly-filling hero!!!
Thank you
Thank you, warrior. Like seeing a Zippo. I was never a smoker, but appreciated lighter talent. Gandolf smoke rings from a pipe, too.
Awesome thank you.
I usually prefer a birch stirring stick myself but that maple stirred coffe looks good.
Gotta try that new technique.
I've been impatiently waiting a week for this video! Good stuff as always. Thank you, and Keep it up!
The end of that pipe looks like radioactive water is coming out lol
that tripod trick was awesome
I've been watching your videos for a long time, and this is the first time I've ever seen you with your hat off. And it was just for a moment! You should take your hat off more often. ( 2:56 ) Freakin killer hair, and the cut looks great on you. Thank you for your service and all your doing now.
The sound of that bottle fillling up with that tasty water is so damn satisfying. There is a trail near Grandfather Mountain called Profile, its gnarly hike to the top and there is a pipe fed spring near the top. Nice reward for the tough hike to the top
I'm with you Josh with the raisins in oatmeal. I am thinking about mixing it and sticking dried banana or trail mix in it . That construction noise must have been a right killer lol.
That noise drove me insane
You are so right about chock full of nuts.
Fantastic video👍
Great video...I like that fire setup. You could put the coffee grinds in at the first and let them boil with the water.
Makes the coffee too acidic for my tastes
Cowboy coffee- for people that say coffee is too acidic. If you actually boil it for 2-3 minutes, it breaks down the acid. Also, leave a little room to add a little cold water. That drives the grounds to the bottom. Depends on how big your pot is, how much you add. Picked up those tips from a chuck wagon cook that has a youtube channel (Cowboy Kent Rollins)
Nice clean concise work, bro! DOL!
I have enjoyed watching this series and I saved it to watch it again.
Howdy, new sub doing some backtracking here, checking out the many interesting videos you've made, very good material you cover, very thoughtfully taught. I had to do a double take on this one, seems we are both Chock Full O Nuts fans, never heard anybody admit it before; it is great tasting coffee, been a fan for decades. In our brave new world, finding certain items is getting tougher, brands like our coffee is hit and miss these days. As a matter of fact I'm drinking the last of my CFoN as I type this, the last trip to the store our brand was still MIA. Next time you look for raisins, get a bag of the stuff I use, it has raisins, dried cranberries, dried cherries, and dried golden raisins; this mix is just amazing in the mornings. You can thank me later. Best wishes, keep the shiny side up.
Yep, stayed for the coffee part. Nice.
