I liked Solus suggestion with the brewing basket and purchased both sizes since shipping was about as much as the basket.

This seems to be the right thinking IMO. The basket is very light but reasonably strong. The smaller size (medium) was bigger than I thought it would be and that will be the size that should interest canoe trippers. The larger size will be regulated to steeping cups of tea on the home front.

Boil water, throw grounds directly in (cowboy coffee) and strain through filter into cup. Presto.......No heavy complicated press, no little bags to fill etc. etc. Thanks Solus, this will be a significant upgrade for me with very little sacrifice in terms of weight or bulk  :thumbup
