PJ gives us brilliant satire and his response is Dr. Phil helping us to live a "contented" life. Tis a cruel world.

I think I will start work on next months beginner fishing tip and leave the entertainment aspects to the experts.

Yeah . . . well . . . my wife still thinks I'm funny even if you guys don't.   Tongue


I think your funny PJ, in that twisted " Oh NO he didn't way" Grin
And any guy who sends a picture of themselves "sunning" on the beach with libation in hand and has a wife who laughs at it, should count his blessings over a leisurely cup of camp Joe every paddling morning Wink

Thanks PhantomJug for the laugh Grin.  If some of your statement didn't ring true, it wouldn't be funny.  Different strokes for different folks, but I get ya on the piddling, wasting time, weakest of the herd sorts.  The Jetboil frenchpress takes exactly the same time as taking down my tent, so it works for me.  Two tasks at once.

A good laugh, indeed Grin. Efficient..... Cool, that's why I drink instant. Dont want to cut the tackle box down so the french press got ditched. Cant ditch the Outback cause boy and the I like fish pizza to much, bread and chocolate cake too. So I take pictures to pass the cooking time and let the youngster catch a few more ZZZ's so we're efficient on the portages, and I get some utter silence. We all have our methods of madness. PJ your a lucky man to have gotten it so young, kudos. Here is to the morning cup and all that follows, Skoal! Wink

I just tried some. Italian Roast is much better than Columbia.

I believe in traveling light but make no sacrifice on coffee in the woods. I lug a moka pot (quick and strong) and fill it with Gene Hick's blends   (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)
(Signature blend for lighter roast, Canoe or Fishing blend for darker).

Worth the weight.


I tried the asian instant coffees described in this thread and was not overly impressed. I usually use a press at home but wanted something, shall we say, a bit different for trippin. I found Solus's comments stuck with me for a long time so I gave the "moka pot" a try. Impressive indeed. Strong and a tad thick but not bitter. I think I have found a new friend.

On a big trip it's a tad heavy and I worry about breaking the handle while in the pack. It also uses a fair amount of coffee per cup............but it's pretty dang good!
Makes one cup BTW

I've broken handles (both in and out of the woods), Bialetti does sell replacements (and replacement gaskets), usually I just make do with a improvised "hot pad" of some sort. I agree the weight is extravagant but the end result makes it worthwhile.. The combination of a Pocket Rocket and a Moka Express 6 is one of the quickest ways to coffee I know.  I carry that combo when I drive too - road coffee without compromise.

Instant coffee is an abomination not to be endured.
