    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.

    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.

Whenever you find a water source like the spring you found, it really simplifies life. ;) Great video. Thank you.

    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.

    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!!!

      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.

    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 👍🏻

    Like your shirt got one just like it wouldn't give it up for the world.

    You sure looked comfortable on that mattress! Wish I had know about that technique sooner.
