Hands down, best channel I have seen. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and adventures. I really like tea in the woods, for some reason, yet at home I prefer coffee. Of course I make a big production of my coffee which would be unpleasant outdoors.

From USA. Came across your videos recently, enjoy them, Thanks. I do enjoy watching the coffee tradition and the Thumbs up. I get great chuckles seeing the well used, well broken in pot with many seasons of tar on it. Used, not abused. I have wondered through many of your video's, if it was instant coffee or ground you use, now I know. Nothing like a good cup of dark coffee and great scenery. Happy trails.

This movie brought back very fond memories of my trip to Helsingborg, and Oland (Stora Alvaret). The first morning I made coffee and my host kindly emptied it out and made "Swedish Coffee". She used a lot more coffee than I had. I quickly learned. It was one of the most memorable weeks of my life. I really enjoy your videos Erik. All the best to you. Tony

Myself I'm boiling the water, put the cattle to the side and add the coffee. Then I put it over the heat again and let it get a quick boil, just so the rolling boil make the coffee mix and there are no dry coffee laying on top of the water. Put the cattle to the side again and let it all settle until you can pour it without any coffee grains.... approximately 3-5 minutes. I prefer it strong as you but by not boiling the coffee from the beginning you avoid a little of that bitterness that cover the good coffee taste. I grew up with it this way in your neighbor country in the west. Amazing videos and great work!

great clip and coffee cooking tips, thanks Erik. i like to take a coffee break(thermos) on top of a mountain on my cycle home each day and would love to add a coffee cooking ritual when i have time/energy. only strong coffee does the trick for me too, i love the extra spoon you added when you were ready already, nice one.. ! i'll make a simple stove and keep an eye out for one like yours. what other special treats do you enjoy in your moments of peaceful solitude.. ?

Whatever our tastes, I think it great to get on a 'brew' in the outdoors in a convenient spot, relax, take in the surroundings, check equipment, plan ahead and so on. Good video.

I picked up a Primus LiTech kettle as well and tried your technique. Your method worked perfectly. No grinds! That makes a great coffee. It's as good as a French Press or better. However, I don't think I'm going to live long enough to have that amazing patina that your kettle has around the outside, though. Thanks!

Erik, when you finish the boiling process it is better to add to the coffee some little cold water or, even better, the snow, that makes the coffee settle down the pot faster and easier, try it. Meanwhile, I would like to thank you for your great videos, one can dream watching them. The light was so beautiful over there. Have you done a video with the Northern Lights?

Great, thanks for sharing :-) When I'm outdoors I only drink coffee in the mornings (after sleeping outside) and for special moments like to pamper myself when it's wet or nasty weather. Otherwise I normaly broil tea or drink a simple soup throughout the day to quench my thirst. If it's nice and warm I just drink plain water.

Sometimes I use coffee that they sell like tea bags. So you just boil your water and place your "coffee bag" in the water. Some coffee bags have a little string, like a tea bag, so you can dunk it up and down. These small coffee bags are very easy to carry. I like Maxwell House.

I’m going to try making some fresh coffee this way. The firebox stove is a cool way to enjoy wood fire and cook. I usually carry Starbucks Via instant, which is good and strong. That is for morning and maybe lunch. For later, and especially before bedtime, I love a cup of HuKwa tea with a teaspoon of honey. Very relaxing. I don’t know if you can get HuKwa in Sweden. I buy it from Mark Wendell company in MA, USA.

On a canoe trip down the Suwanee river 6 of us , most in solo canoes , spent a couple of weeks on the river. Towards the end we were running short on coffee grounds. Let me back up for a second. We would make the cowboy coffee in a large , well used , 16 cup coffee pot over the fire. When we realized there would not be enough grounds by using fresh grounds each morning for the rest of the trip. We came to the conclusion that we would keep the old grounds in the pot and add a small amount of the fresh grounds each morning for the rest of the trip. It was different but pretty good coffee each morning. That proves the old saying about everything tasting better when camping ..... is true. LOL ,LOL

in eastern europe they always made this kind of "cowboy coffee", from coffee beans, ground coffee (grinding the beans with a mill). then either boil the water over a fire or with an electric boiler (in the offices). when water boils, coffee is ready. only later they got instant coffee or machines. im not much of a coffee drinker, if coffee is too strong i get too impacient and edgy for office work (loose diplomacy when dealing with problems and having to find work arounds).
