Unfortunately your list is incomplete. Wink
I need a coffee pot with the perculator parts.  I may give up my Venti, Starbucks, but I have to have a good subsutuite.

OK, I'll one up you on the coffee.  I'm seriously considering bringing my (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) this year so I can brew the real Swedish coffee I like so much:  (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

I've become a Swedish coffee snob after visiting there twice in the last year.

OK, you are a coffee snob! Shocked
Have you used the thermos press yet?  I looked at the lexan press at a local store but was not that impressed.  I like the glass one we use at home brews a great cup of coffee.

I thought for a short time of bringing a warming set up for Cognac.  But the glasses became an issue.  So I thought I could warm a stainless steel cup and then pour the cognac in and enjoy the sunset/moon rise.

I use that Thermos press every morning and it works great.  It's a little big to bring with, but it might be worth it.  It seems pretty durable.

fishingbuddy:
your comment about warming up cognac in a stainless cup brought to mind the following.
when i used to "group travel" with 3 other guy's, it was a real chore because they wanted to party more than travel and fish.
one night. (Tequila" night), actualy everynight turned into Tequila night, but i digress, one of the boy's brought out a bottle of cognac and was explaing how it should be properly consumed.
by then my fellow paddlers were pretty well inebriated and since i'm a very light drinker, i was babysitting as usual!!
well, one of the "boy's" decided he would try the cognac, the "right" way and while the rest of us were setting up a makeshift card table, our friend was hovering over the fire, "warming" his cognac Undecided Undecided.
unfortunatley, he was so drunk, he was using a PLASTIC cup and got it so close to fire, it melted and next thing we hear,  is a yell and turn to see a giant ball of flame shooting into the air!!!
As often the case, the good Lord was watching over the drunk and other than some singed eye brows, he was okay Undecided Undecided.
Okay, being  a relative term to those guy's!!!
it's funny now, but at the time, not so much Wink Wink.

I hope nothing like that befalls me during the upcoming trip.  I hope to enjoy a bit of Very Special Old Pale on several evenings.  Especially if we meet with with others, while in the Q.  My next task is to unpack everything and recheck it then pack it up for the last time.  The clock counts down.
