Same here, I envy this man's commitment to enjoying the simpler things in life. My wife and I as well as our two small children are seriously considering leaving the city life for a more simple way of life. God bless and best of luck.
@@mike.p.1400 Try sitting in L.A. traffic since you have the right mindset. My mindset is getting to work on time because my family depends on me to do it. You think Ukrainians are pretending to be content with their situation just because they have the right mindset? Those people are thinking about staying alive along with their loved ones. It's easier to enjoy your life journey when you don't have anything else to worry about. You have already paved your own road at this man's point.
I left the news and negativity behind years ago, and my life hasn't been better than it is right now. I don't have a TV and I camp often. Slowing down has had the best impact on my health than seeing a team of doctors.
Words of wisdom …….I love it . and ditto on “Yellowstone” ……while Kevin Costner has done some great movies , this show is Hollywood’s typical use of excessive violence and vulgarity (and I’m no saint by any standard). Slow down…..we should all heed this advice.
It's to the point where artificial has even become artificial. I lived lies for so long but it was a mistake. I feel much better now having accepted that I don't need the acceptance of the fake masses because God and family come first.
Wife and I started out together very poor. One of the first things we bought was a percolating coffee pot. Made the best coffee and we still have it after 28 yrs.
I’m a city boy from Akron Ohio and I love this channel! I’m a school teacher and I spend my summers “slowing down”. It’s so fun. Garden, French press coffee, then around noon I switch to beer. Work in the yard, play some music, nap. Repeat! God Bless America!
Gave my grandpa a Mr. Coffee years ago went to see him the next weekend, it was sitting up high on a shelf in the kitchen, could tell it was used (once), I asked him why it wasn't on the counter. He only had a few words for me. "I don't drink instant coffee either". Always made his coffee in a coffee pot or peculator, pure grounds and time and patients. Rethought my future gifts. Grampa was always about quality and time. "If your going to do some thing take your time and do it right or don't do it at all" Your Canadian Friend and Fan
Someone gifted my grandfather (WWII vet a mr coffee in the 70s or 80s when they first came out and he did the same thing, used it maybe once then put it away. When my mom asked him why he didn’t use it he said it didn’t get the coffee hot enough because he liked it “piping hot.” He used a percolator on the stove.
Dwayne is a modern day prophet. I could listen to him for hours. He has a fabulous voice and his philosophy on life is compelling. Bet his coffee is damned good, too!
"Customize your life"- I love that and it’s so true. If you want to control your anxiety and your stress, slow down. That’s what I’ve been doing for several years and it works great, but I still get caught in the ways of the conditioned thinking, but I’m aware of that right away and I stop…and slow down. I get up at 4:30 am everyday (including weekends) and I have a routine that it’s enjoyable and don’t require rushing. I get up, feed my cats, brew my coffee ( similar to Dwayne’s way) enjoy my cup of coffee, do the bathroom thing, take a shower and do everything in the NOW. I’m not thinking about work, I’m not thinking about how much work I have to do today, I don’t care nor think about it, those thoughts aren’t allowed in my brain. I simply enjoy the moment with a soothing instrumental music in the background while I do my routine. That’s my meditation method, stay in the present moment because that’s where I live. I don’t live an hour away from now. I live right now. I do this all the way until I get to work at 6:30 am ( I don’t have to be there until 7:30am, though) I get there and begin my day preparing what’s to be delivered that day. I’m in logistics, so by the time employees start arriving, I have everything ready and we open for business. And I try my best to stay in the present and do things following steps I developed in order to reduce stress in employees and customers. We don’t jump from 1 to 5. To get to 5 you have to go through 2, 3 and 4 and this makes the day at work more enjoyable. I love watching Dwayne’s videos. He uses every second of every one of his videos to say something interesting and helpful. That’s very valuable. Stay present my friends.
Best coffee experience for me was my percolator over a fire in the Wasatch Mtns with plain old Folgers in the 1960s. Now I am a geezer and we grind our coffee fresh every morning from fresh roasted beans from Bisbee AZ's Old Bisbee roasters, delivered by mail weekly. No better coffee, but the experience is not so magical as that old campfire coffee. When we go up the mountain and combine the two, heaven is close at hand. I am greatful for Dewayne's simple approach to life.
My friends and I go camping about 4 times a year, usually on a friends land sometimes at a hunting lodge (yeah, not really "camping" but no cell or wifi or stoves). First one up is responsible to get coffee going (usually me). Nice sitting by a creek, perc in the coals, peace and quiet. Once everyone is up, we all get breakfast going (about 6 or 8 of us), more coffee made, games (and liquor) come out, then dinner. Life is simple, when you decide it should be!
I rose before the sun, watched this as I was cooking my coffee, and went outside to see the sun rise. I cherish my peaceful mornings. Bless you and yours. 😃☕️
I have that same coffee pot in my camper I have had for over 25 years. Guy I used to Elk Hunt with got it for me. Ed passed awhile back. While at his elk camp, he had some rules. You leave your problems at the gate to get up here. You dont badmouth or bitch at his camp about people. Coffee is made in a peculator, not a machine. And most of all, you leave his camp a better person. Watching these videos remind me of Ed
Finally! A simple man with simple yet powerful message more folks need to hear. I've been of this mindset all my 65 years. And thanks for showing folks denim ain't dead. Plus, good coffee and a fine cigar in the Hill Country! "It don't get no better!"
You’re my kind of people. The world would definitely benefit from slowing down and doing things in a more collected and wholesome manner. There’s no substitute for a good pipe/cigar and a hot cup of coffee in the morning. Life is yours. Good stuff, brother!
I've got a college degree in the area of psychology and I have to admit to you are a natural human psychologist. SLOW DOWN is the best advice in this modern world.
I have consumed a lot of coffee in my life but the one most memorable was with my mom in 1983. We had just purchased some acreage near Chevron Canyon, Az and took a ride to check out the area. At midday I built a small fire and brewed some coffee similar to what you did in a pot like yours. While sitting in the shade we ate and drank coffee on our property for the first time. I have never had a better cup of coffee. Along with the aroma of the coffee there was the smell of the pinion pines, crows making noise and a nice breeze. Mom and I shared a lot of coffee and whiskey over the years but that day remains a treasured memory.
I would get up at 3am, fill my french press with water. Microwave for 5 minutes while brushing my teeth. Grind up some good whole bean. Set up my press. Take shower, get dressed. My coffee has been brewing all the while. Press and go. Sipping some strong brew easing down the road. I'm retired now. Same routine but now my doggy (big black German Shepherd) gets me up every day about 7 or 8. Best alarm clock in the world. lol
I remember way back when everyone had a percolator. When that thing got cranking, it would fill up the entire house with that angelic coffee smell. At my Grandpa's house I noticed that he would pour some of the steaming hot coffee in the saucer, blow on it for a second and either drink it right from the saucer or dump it back into the cup. At my tender age, I didn't realize that after the percolator is done, that's some scalding hot coffee. To this day, I want my coffee sipping hot, not luke warm that you get in a restaurant. Nice job on the video!
I roast my own beans and brew in a French press. I’m used to my coffee taking time. It’s worth it. It’s my time to slow down and relax. Same with how I shave. I use a straight razor. The extra few minutes it takes to make a lather and strop the razor is quiet time for me. A great way to start the day off right. Thanks for the wisdom, Sir.
Sir, you are as much a philosopher as a cowboy. Thank you for all your insights and wisdom as well as the instructive tutorials. Blessings to you and your family.
My first job I was eleven. My Dad, God Bless him, came home everyday that week seeing me watching the boob-tube. He grew up in North Alabama. Plowed using two 'ole Army mules on my Grandad's farm. He words to me was "boy have a job before next week or I'm throwing your a** out the front door." I have been working every since. Worked 40 hours a week through HS. Never missed a day of school in three years. I was up every morning at 0400 delivering papers. Always had a hot pot of coffee on the stove. I like it strong & black to this day. Today I grind my own coffee. Pour hot water over the coffee grounds in my Chemex. Peets dark roast. No Kuerig in my house. Thanks Dewayne.
I stumbled across your channel and so glad i did. It so nice to find someone who thinks like you! I like how you view life and your wisdom and willingness to teach what you know. I don’t watch TV any more I usually just watch down to earth people on RUclips. I also use a percolator. I get my coffee ready the night before and than just plug it in in the morning. I also have a percolator that you can use on the stove or camp fire. There is nothing like percolator coffee!
Forget Yellowstone, YOU need your own TV show. So much sage wisdom in these videos. Hope you get that land in TN, that's where I live. I'd love to have a cup of coffee around a campfire with you cowboy
You’ve saved a lot of people time and money seeing psychologists if they just listen to this advice on slowing down and having a good cup of coffee. Our world is going to fast and people are way to “uptight”!
I really appreciated when Dewayne talked about checking out 'Yellowstone' from the library, hearing it'd mirror his way of life and appeal to him, only to find it's just Hollywood's glitzy take with no resemblance. It's a cool reminder of how real life, with its genuine, custom-made moments, often beats those scripted versions we see on screen. It's neat how he encourages us to seek out the authentic stuff over the flashy but fake. Thank you for the reminder to slow down. Keep the gold coming, Dewayne
I randomly clicked on your video after the cowboy coffee guy looking for a better cup of coffee and came away with a better way to relearn how to live. Thank you!
My father taught me to make old-school Arabic coffee and I can tell you it really does feel good to take those 5-10 minutes to slow down, smell the coffee, watch it, filter it, and sip it.
Speaking from the UK I totally agree regarding the sheep narrative… in no time at all we are retired and sit wondering what happened to the last 60 years! I now live on a river boat and do my own thing.. ( all be it under the watchful eye of government and river police)… I envy Americans who have the vastness to travel and the freedoms to protect yourselves 👍🏻🇬🇧🇺🇸
Many people live as sheep: docked, dipped, and wethered. Slowing down is great advice. Let's us chew the grass slowly and enjoy the sunshine. If you gotta be a sheep, then be free-range, relaxed, and proud. God Bless!
I like your way of thinking i am 65 retired commercial construction supt. Now that i am retired i had a hard time slowing down till i screwed up my back just had surgery now i have to slow down. thanks for your videos the world needs to listen
I agree slow down I've been preaching this also , I'm a mountain man reenactment lover and I carry it over in my real life. Here's to u my friend coffee ☕ time .
Wild West Wisdom at its best. I think it was either Mark Twain or Will Rogers who said, "It doesn't take a lot of words to speak the truth." Thank you Dwayne for speaking truth in these crazy times. People want to "Make America Great Again." Well.....Dwayne is steering us toward True North. 🇺🇸 I come from a military family; My Grandpa Joe flew in WW I, my Uncle John flew in WW II, and my Dad Jim flew in Vietnam. They've all 🎖🎖🎖"Flown West" (R.I.P.) but if they were still here, I know they'd be watching this channel with me. 🙏God Bless you Dwayne, & God Bless America. 🇺🇸
You are so wise. I appreciate your perspective of life. Been percolating my grounds on the stove every morning for at least 30 years. And yes, the Texas Hill country is beautiful. Blessings.
You are right Dewayne. Even in urban set-up it's not too hard to make REAL coffee. A turkish coffee pot (I highly recommend smaller ones, no more than 2 expresso cups capacity), turkish coffee grade grinder (or buy it ground), a stovetop - et voila! Just make sure you watch it like a hawk and take it off the stove before it all runs out. And remember - the grinds are there at the bottom of the pot - careful as you pour it out. P.S. I only call it turkish because that's how it was introduced to me. It can be rightfully called Greek, Armenian or Arabic - whichever you prefer.
This is exactly how we learned, and make our coffee. Enjoying the process and the fruits of our labor. We’re living our lives too fast. Thank you for the “facts” of a healthy lifestyle.
🙌🏻 Finally someone else who doesn’t like Yellowstone. I made the mistake of buying it. Didn’t even unwrap the second dvd. Great talk. So glad we found your channel tonight. God bless!
Without evening knowing it I bought that same percolator last week (Coletti Bozeman). Man oh man does that thing make a fine cup of coffee! Been a while since I’ve used one, but 4 minutes was the trick, Thanks!
I Know how to bushcraft, Camp and cook in the wilderness, and of course make coffe. But I really enjoy watching you do it in a great place when I'm stuck in the city and can't. Thank you. It's a calming thing that brings me back to where I need to be.
These videos are so nice! I percolated coffee over a fire for the first time with my friends on a trip recently, I did it completely wrong, but it was still cool to do it in a more involved way!
That was some fine looking coffee. I could almost taste it. And thank you for preaching the slow down. The folks I know are so busy we don’t have time to enjoy each other anymore.
To keep your coffee pot easy to clean afterwards, before placing the pot on the fire, coat the bottom and sides with liquid dish soap and the pot is easy to clean up. I bring a very fine strainer to cover the cup and then I pour the coffee through the strainer. My swedish grandmother cracked a raw egg on the surface of the water to catch the coffee grounds; it makes a clear pot of coffee. The smell of sizzling bacon and fresh eggs cooking over an open campfire on a misty morning looking at the snowcapped South face in Colorado . . . This is life! 😊
Dwayne speaks a lot of truth,, fortunate I feel like I’ve got a good amount of my life ahead of me and I realized to slow down early on, life is more enjoyable when you stop to appreciate it
Customize Our Coffee and Our Lives ! What a great Video and Once again a great message. It is our life and I believe God wants Us to find the Joy in it . You are right about a hurried life . Keep this message going 😇
I watch your videos and you take me back to reality and slowing down. Everyone is in too much of a hurry. I'm old school and I like your way of explaining stuff. You make me relax. Thanks for your attitude
Great video . I have the same coffee pot and the aroma that comes out of that coffee pot is awesome! You’re absolutely right we all need to slow down. Thanks
Hubby and I do coffee up in a percolator when we are winding down and I'll toss a tablespoon of Christmas spices every once in a while , especially in the winter time , we quite often turn the lights off and put our oil lamps on and listen to old radio shows from the 40's , he'll be listening and I'll be quilting , sometimes yahtzee by lamplight 😁
Great video! I hate when I see people needlessly covering their coffee pots and pans with blackened soot because they cook on "flames of a wood fire". Always cook on "hot coals", never flames! BTW, percolator coffee pots have been around since the 1800s, so I'm pretty sure the true Cowboys and Vaqueros also brewed their coffee in percolators/coffee pots directly on the coals.
Nothing is better Han a good cup of coffee. An old fashioned percolator is the best way to fix a strong, steeping hot pot of coffee. I agree slow down and enjoy everyday. God bless. - Tennessee Smoky
Ukrainian folk here, and that's waht I was hoping but wasn't expecting to find. Each video is honest, real and down to earth. You are talking to us, you are not recording a video. Just you and us, viewers.
My wife and I love our percolator coffee pot... it was my grandpas and your right live your own life and we don't care what other people think God bless.
Well sir you have a new subscriber. Just found you this morning. This is the 2nd one this morning. My wife and I have slowed down a lot. In the last few yrs. Especially me. But enjoyed your vids.
Thank you Sir! I have enjoyed each and every one of your videos. Not only do I enjoy the topic but I also enjoy the message you have to go with it. Thanks again!
I just stumbled onto your channel here and I must say that I have found a kindred spirit here. We both have been hit with the same club, if you will! I love what you're doing and I love this channel that I just found. I totally agree with you about "Slowing Down"! I'm 75 years young and have been down the road a bit. I'm fed up with the rat race, dog eat dog life and people and I have slowed down ON PURPOSE I live in Kingman Arizona and love the pace here. You do have some Commifornia transplants that seem to bring their crazy ways with them. I'm a transplant myself from there but have slowed down on purpose. I think that's why I identify with you so much. Do keep up the good work that you're doing.. And know that there is someone out here that is rooting you on! Keep the faith my brother!
Howdy from the UK! I have only recently started to take my coffee without milk/cream to reduce the amount of lactose/sugar I consume in a day, it is scary how much I was drinking in my four or five lattes a day. It is taking a bit of time (no problem there) but I am gradually appreciating the different flavours and nuances in real coffee which milk tends to mask. I still can't do it without sugar or sweeteners though!! Of course, being a Brit a good cup of tea wins hands down :)
Thank you for your kind and warm advice Sir, ...it comes at a very emotional time in my life, and your words feel just right. I am a coffee drinker myself, and I got a number of coffee pots to slowlly brew a good cup. I find, and try my time with coffee, to be in peace with the world.
Slow down wait a minute is the best damn advise in life. Patience is the key to a happy relaxed life.
Came here for the coffee, ended up with a whole new look at life that is now making me re-think my entire life. Definitely subscribing.
I was just about to comment this and it’s my feelings exactly
Same here, I envy this man's commitment to enjoying the simpler things in life. My wife and I as well as our two small children are seriously considering leaving the city life for a more simple way of life. God bless and best of luck.
@@mike.p.1400 Try sitting in L.A. traffic since you have the right mindset. My mindset is getting to work on time because my family depends on me to do it.

I came for the stoic philosophy, I brought my own coffee.

Every time I listen to Dwayne my stress level goes down and I'm cool the rest of day keep up the good works
Yes he has one of the most calming voice.
Ditto.
Agreed!
Yep ..But then I realise they're coming for our children
Words of wisdom …….I love it .
and ditto on “Yellowstone” ……while Kevin Costner has done some great movies , this show is Hollywood’s typical use of excessive violence and vulgarity (and I’m no saint by any standard). Slow down…..we should all heed this advice.
The last half of video speech is 💯. This guy is aware of how fake the world has become. Respect!
It's to the point where artificial has even become artificial. I lived lies for so long but it was a mistake. I feel much better now having accepted that I don't need the acceptance of the fake masses because God and family come first.
I'm 65. I slowed down 15 year ago. Slowing down and a few blessings is how I've made it to 65.....happier than ever.
Slowed down considerable after leavin the service ... slowed down so much I sometimes sense that I might be goin backwards ... which is fine by me.
I feel relaxed simply watching this man make coffee, smoke a fat one and tell us to just chill. Needed that.
It works wonders. The Dude abides.
😂💯💯💯
Wife and I started out together very poor. One of the first things we bought was a percolating coffee pot. Made the best coffee and we still have it after 28 yrs.
Two cups of good coffee served in mismatched mugs off a cinder block. Perfect! Keep up the good work. 👍
It's a beautiful thing.
I havent watched televisuon in over 10 yrs. Completely opened my life.

As the wind blows, the grass grows and the sky is blue. Slow down and notice. Good advice Dwayne, I'm with ya on this one.
"Customize your life.
Slow down.
Find ways to enjoy things."
Words of wisdom 😎💪🏻
Finally! A simple man with simple yet powerful message more folks need to hear. I've been of this mindset all my 65 years.
And thanks for showing folks denim ain't dead. Plus, good coffee and a fine cigar in the Hill Country! "It don't get no better!"
I’m an old retired cop with a new motto “Slow down, Relax” I love it!!! I got my cigars, now I need a percolator!!!!
"Life is yours, make it a good" best advice I have heard
I'm really starting to like hearing this guy's voice. It's so soothing and relaxing.
You’re my kind of people. The world would definitely benefit from slowing down and doing things in a more collected and wholesome manner. There’s no substitute for a good pipe/cigar and a hot cup of coffee in the morning. Life is yours. Good stuff, brother!
I feel like you are my uncle giving me sage advice on horses and life. Thanks for sharing your life with us!

My first job I was eleven. My Dad, God Bless him, came home everyday that week seeing me watching the boob-tube.
He grew up in North Alabama. Plowed using two 'ole Army mules on my Grandad's farm.

Wow… that pot of coffee made me rethink a lot about how I’m doing life.. Amen and Amen brother.
You are absolutely rite
Keep it simple and real
Slowdown
Keep it away from the ratrace.

Completely correct about slowing down; we all have become a sheep. Thanks for your videos sir, Texan here myself. God bless
You’ve saved a lot of people time and money seeing psychologists if they just listen to this advice on slowing down and having a good cup of coffee. Our world is going to fast and people are way to “uptight”!
I really appreciated when Dewayne talked about checking out 'Yellowstone' from the library, hearing it'd mirror his way of life and appeal to him, only to find it's just Hollywood's glitzy take with no resemblance.
It's a cool reminder of how real life, with its genuine, custom-made moments, often beats those scripted versions we see on screen.
It's neat how he encourages us to seek out the authentic stuff over the flashy but fake.
Thank you for the reminder to slow down.
Keep the gold coming, Dewayne
I randomly clicked on your video after the cowboy coffee guy looking for a better cup of coffee and came away with a better way to relearn how to live. Thank you!
I believe everything you said between 6:00 to 10:55 is the cure for depression
"Life is yours, make it a good one." Love it brother, the little things in life are the most fulfilling...
My father taught me to make old-school Arabic coffee and I can tell you it really does feel good to take those 5-10 minutes to slow down, smell the coffee, watch it, filter it, and sip it.
I've got a coffee pot just like yours, and make my coffee just like you do when camping. Great message too--I'm sold. Love it.
@AmericanPatriot14 To be honest, I've had it so long I don't remember who the manufacturer is. Sorry!
Speaking from the UK I totally agree regarding the sheep narrative… in no time at all we are retired and sit wondering what happened to the last 60 years! I now live on a river boat and do my own thing.. ( all be it under the watchful eye of government and river police)… I envy Americans who have the vastness to travel and the freedoms to protect yourselves 👍🏻🇬🇧🇺🇸
A good coffee and a cigar is the best to remind you of a simple life. Time to SLOW down and truly enjoy life.
Nothin like a pot of coffee and a Marlboro in the mornin and a glass of bourbon and a cigar in the evening.
Many people live as sheep: docked, dipped, and wethered. Slowing down is great advice. Let's us chew the grass slowly and enjoy the sunshine. If you gotta be a sheep, then be free-range, relaxed, and proud. God Bless!
I like your way of thinking i am 65 retired commercial construction supt. Now that i am retired i had a hard time slowing down till i screwed up my back just had surgery now i have to slow down. thanks for your videos the world needs to listen
Glad to see another good ol Southern boy bringing back the old days. Enjoy your videos brother.
I agree slow down I've been preaching this also , I'm a mountain man reenactment lover and I carry it over in my real life. Here's to u my friend coffee ☕ time .
Wild West Wisdom at its best. I think it was either Mark Twain or Will Rogers who said, "It doesn't take a lot of words to speak the truth." Thank you Dwayne for speaking truth in these crazy times. People want to "Make America Great Again." Well.....Dwayne is steering us toward True North. 🇺🇸 I come from a military family; My Grandpa Joe flew in WW I, my Uncle John flew in WW II, and my Dad Jim flew in Vietnam. They've all 🎖🎖🎖"Flown West" (R.I.P.) but if they were still here, I know they'd be watching this channel with me. 🙏God Bless you Dwayne, & God Bless America. 🇺🇸
Yessir, great video. I hardly any TV other then old westerns on GRIT. I enjoy a good cigar and camp fire or cowboy coffee and relaxing.
You are so wise. I appreciate your perspective of life. Been percolating my grounds on the stove every morning for at least 30 years. And yes, the Texas Hill country is beautiful. Blessings.
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Simplicity is a beautiful gift 🙏🏽♥️
What I wouldn't give to bail on school and come hang out with this guy. The wisdom is always appreciated.
I like the way you smell the rose,s thanks
My brother uses a percolator when we go camping, and it's so good. Thanks for the talk, Dwayne.
You are right Dewayne.
Even in urban set-up it's not too hard to make REAL coffee.
A turkish coffee pot (I highly recommend smaller ones, no more than 2 expresso cups capacity), turkish coffee grade grinder (or buy it ground), a stovetop - et voila!
Just make sure you watch it like a hawk and take it off the stove before it all runs out.
And remember - the grinds are there at the bottom of the pot - careful as you pour it out.
P.S.
I only call it turkish because that's how it was introduced to me.
It can be rightfully called Greek, Armenian or Arabic - whichever you prefer.
This is exactly how we learned, and make our coffee. Enjoying the process and the fruits of our labor. We’re living our lives too fast. Thank you for the “facts” of a healthy lifestyle.
You remind me of my uncle, God rest his soul. It's nice to hear a similar lesson to what he'd give me when I was a kid.
Thanks for the videos!
🙌🏻 Finally someone else who doesn’t like Yellowstone. I made the mistake of buying it. Didn’t even unwrap the second dvd. Great talk. So glad we found your channel tonight. God bless!
Thank you Ron Swanson for the percolator tutorial and the life lesson
Man, that's probably the best advice I've heard in a long time. Slow down, life is yours. Make it a good one.
Great video! There's nothing like a good cigar and campfire/cowboy coffee!
Without evening knowing it I bought that same percolator last week (Coletti Bozeman). Man oh man does that thing make a fine cup of coffee! Been a while since I’ve used one, but 4 minutes was the trick, Thanks!
I Know how to bushcraft, Camp and cook in the wilderness, and of course make coffe.
But I really enjoy watching you do it in a great place when I'm stuck in the city and can't. Thank you.
It's a calming thing that brings me back to where I need to be.
These videos are so nice! I percolated coffee over a fire for the first time with my friends on a trip recently, I did it completely wrong, but it was still cool to do it in a more involved way!
That was some fine looking coffee. I could almost taste it. And thank you for preaching the slow down. The folks I know are so busy we don’t have time to enjoy each other anymore.
This guy is the definition of a real man.
To keep your coffee pot easy to clean afterwards, before placing the pot on the fire, coat the bottom and sides with liquid dish soap and the pot is easy to clean up. I bring a very fine strainer to cover the cup and then I pour the coffee through the strainer. My swedish grandmother cracked a raw egg on the surface of the water to catch the coffee grounds; it makes a clear pot of coffee.
The smell of sizzling bacon and fresh eggs cooking over an open campfire on a misty morning looking at the snowcapped South face in Colorado . . . This is life! 😊
I just bought an old coffee pot at an estate sale yesterday. You’re right, for something good you need to be patient. Slow your roll!
Dwayne speaks a lot of truth,, fortunate I feel like I’ve got a good amount of my life ahead of me and I realized to slow down early on, life is more enjoyable when you stop to appreciate it
Customize Our Coffee and Our Lives ! What a great Video and Once again a great message. It is our life and I believe God wants Us to find the Joy in it . You are right about a hurried life . Keep this message going 😇
I watch your videos and you take me back to reality and slowing down. Everyone is in too much of a hurry. I'm old school and I like your way of explaining stuff. You make me relax. Thanks for your attitude
Great video .
I have the same coffee pot and the aroma that comes out of that coffee pot is awesome!
You’re absolutely right we all need to slow down.
Thanks
Hubby and I do coffee up in a percolator when we are winding down and I'll toss a tablespoon of Christmas spices every once in a while , especially in the winter time , we quite often turn the lights off and put our oil lamps on and listen to old radio shows from the 40's , he'll be listening and I'll be quilting , sometimes yahtzee by lamplight 😁
We love our perc'd coffee.....regardless of how long it takes. You can keep all the other methods. Just our opinion..... Thx for sharing.
This guy gives a lot of good, simple, common sense advice.
Great video! I hate when I see people needlessly covering their coffee pots and pans with blackened soot because they cook on "flames of a wood fire". Always cook on "hot coals", never flames! BTW, percolator coffee pots have been around since the 1800s, so I'm pretty sure the true Cowboys and Vaqueros also brewed their coffee in percolators/coffee pots directly on the coals.
Nothing is better Han a good cup of coffee. An old fashioned percolator is the best way to fix a strong, steeping hot pot of coffee. I agree slow down and enjoy everyday. God bless. - Tennessee Smoky
Ukrainian folk here, and that's waht I was hoping but wasn't expecting to find. Each video is honest, real and down to earth. You are talking to us, you are not recording a video. Just you and us, viewers.
I agree, A good cup of coffee is definitely worth the time and effort!
You are so right about slowing down. God bless you for this insight. We’re all in too big a hurry.
The best advice a guy I used to date gave me, was to slow down. To be patient and learn to wait. 1 of the best peices of advice I was ever given.
My wife and I love our percolator coffee pot... it was my grandpas and your right live your own life and we don't care what other people think God bless.
Not only do you make good coffee you are also a Great Philosopher. I liked your take on "Yellowstone".
Well sir you have a new subscriber. Just found you this morning. This is the 2nd one this morning. My wife and I have slowed down a lot. In the last few yrs. Especially me. But enjoyed your vids.
Thank you Sir! I have enjoyed each and every one of your videos. Not only do I enjoy the topic but I also enjoy the message you have to go with it. Thanks again!
Your right on target. I know I fall in the category of needing to slow down. I also need to camp more and just relax with nature.
I'm with that life is crazy.. slow down relax back to the basics and enjoy the little things that mean something to us.
I love that big red coffee container, looks very charming.
I just stumbled onto your channel here and I must say that I have found a kindred spirit here. We both have been hit with the same club, if you will! I love what you're doing and I love this channel that I just found. I totally agree with you about "Slowing Down"! I'm 75 years young and have been down the road a bit. I'm fed up with the rat race, dog eat dog life and people and I have slowed down ON PURPOSE I live in Kingman Arizona and love the pace here. You do have some Commifornia transplants that seem to bring their crazy ways with them. I'm a transplant myself from there but have slowed down on purpose. I think that's why I identify with you so much. Do keep up the good work that you're doing.. And know that there is someone out here that is rooting you on! Keep the faith my brother!
This channel is genuine gold. Thanks, Dwayne
Howdy from the UK! I have only recently started to take my coffee without milk/cream to reduce the amount of lactose/sugar I consume in a day, it is scary how much I was drinking in my four or five lattes a day. It is taking a bit of time (no problem there) but I am gradually appreciating the different flavours and nuances in real coffee which milk tends to mask. I still can't do it without sugar or sweeteners though!! Of course, being a Brit a good cup of tea wins hands down :)
Good reminder.....in All of Life...Slow Down enjoy life.....Number our Days Hours Minutes ....Customize your Life!!!
Words of Wise
Thank you for your kind and warm advice Sir, ...it comes at a very emotional time in my life, and your words feel just right.
I am a coffee drinker myself, and I got a number of coffee pots to slowlly brew a good cup.
I find, and try my time with coffee, to be in peace with the world.
