I like Farbeware classic stainless steel percolator. It makes the greatest coffee aroma! [

Starbucks Via instant coffee. Boil water and pour. Quick and easy. Cost a little more but tastes very good for instant.

Absolutely. The original drip coffee maker
I have had the same Melita cone type filter coffee making apparatus since 1996, bought it in Hong Kong while working on the new airport. Back then it was under British rule and everyone had tea, so I had to figure out a way to have my coffee. Still have the same stainless vacuum mug that I bought for that trip too!

I can't remember the details of the coffee that a late friend described from years as a Boy Scout camp counselor, cook, and chaplain. It was some sort of boiled coffee recipe in a large pot that was kept warm. You would pour out a cup for yourself and add a fresh cup of water to replace what you took out. At some point it got too weak I assume and you would start a fresh pot, but there was a little more to it than that.
A memory from Boy Scouts at a chilly fall camp out was one father who was drinking out of a ceramic mug. It was just cold enough that when the hot coffee hit the cold mug the difference in temperature cracked the entire bottom off of the mug. So the circle of ceramic and the hot coffee fell directly on the toe of his hiking boot. (He was also known for his comb-over -sort of- covering his bald top. Over the course of a weekend with no showers his thin, unwashed comb-over turned into 4, or 5 individual cork screws of hair across his head)

Ive run it from a 1200watt Victron, which worked just fine and yet it tripped a 2000watt no-name. Go figure
Now I just keep a 4000 watt 24v Inverter in my camper, since it also has no issues with powering the air conditioner (not for long, the batteries can't take it.. but its nice to cool off for about 10 minutes once it gets really hot. Open the windows, run fan on high, close windows, AC for 10 minutes.... good for long enough to fall asleep)
ThermaCELL.... As in the bug repellent system or the shoe heater?We have a pot, put it on the propane stove or a fire, add grounds after a boil, let it bubble a bit, add honey and chaga, delicious, now we do the same at home. Our camphost friend just picked up a Thermacell, can't wait to have a look at it, he lives outside of Duluth. We'll meet up north of there.
Sorry, I forgot which forum asked which question, asked and I already answered.

A Mainstays Coffee maker from Walmart. DH uses an expensive Keurig at home. I tried to buy a cheaper Keurig for the trailer. DH prefers to use the $20 Mainstays from Walmart instead when camping using Keurig pods. He used a KitchenAid kettle for instant Starbucks coffee in the Aliner before. But after we moved to the Darkside, he upgraded to the Mainstay. We still have instant Starbucks packets in case the Mainstays breaks down while camping. DH also makes lemon & ginger hot tea for me on cold mornings. It helps with my nausea from being a long hauler.

Bug, mosquitoes in particular, but I wonder if they'll work for black flies, horrible little buggers.

@Susan Premo… Thermacell repels Mosquitoes, gnats and black flies. We love using them. If you buy from Costco, and it doesn’t work for you, you can always return back for a refund.
I have the MR450 , the patio shield torch and the new radius zone model.

There's two versions. One is the blue rectangles the other is the liquid.

We've done this while camping but don't like cleaning out da press. The good thing about a paper cone drip is it takes 2 minutes to clean out and rinse.

A reenactor friend shared this on Facebook.
A coffee recipe for a Civil War military hospital from the “The Hospital Steward’s Manual,” by Joseph Janvier Woodward, published in 1862:
“No.1. Coffee for ten men.
"Put 9 pints of water into a canteen, saucepan (or other vessel) on the fire; when boiling, add 7 1/2 oz. of coffee; mix them well together with a spoon or piece of wood; leave on the fire a few minutes longer, or until just beginning to boil.
"Take it off, and pour in 1 pint of cold water; let the whole remain ten minutes, or a little longer; the dregs will fall to the bottom, and the coffee will be clear. Pour it from one vessel into another, leaving the dregs at the bottom; add 2 teaspoonfuls of sugar to the pint. If milk is to be had, make 2 pints less of coffee, and add that much milk; boiled milk is preferable.
"REMARKS. - This receipt, properly carried out, would give 10 pints of coffee, or 1 pint per man.”

Late me add, anyone who likes good coffee, friendly dogs and campfire conversations,,, needs to come up and camp with us this summer. This photo was taken a few years back. We didn't know these kids. Gromit was put down this winter. ![[V]](/smileys/smile_dissapprove.gif "Dissapprove [V]")

If it weren't for a 2 day drive each way I'd take you up on that. I plan on spending a few days in the UP when I retire in seven years. First stop near Dayton for a few days, then UP for a few days, and across to South Dakota for a bit. Eventually end up in Alaska for a couple weeks. The return route through Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and across the southern states back home for the winter. May head into Florida keys for a couple weeks during the winter.Late me add, anyone who likes good coffee, friendly dogs and campfire conversations,,, needs to come up and camp with us this summer.

That's seriously close to how we make our coffee, every day. Mors Kohanski, Canadian outdoors teacher. Don't know where he got it.
I use a percolator with a filter. Take a fender washer that fits loosely over a ¼" drill. Drill through a pack of basket filters while pressing down the washer on top and with scrap wood on the bottom. Then slip a filter into the basket (tight fit) and percolate! You will never go back.
