Great tasting Cowboy Camp Coffee Bushcraft Style

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

If you enjoy learning about campfire coffee roasting then check out Mark Young on KZbin. He was a major inspiration for me to do this video. kzbin.info Another channel that recently had a good campfire coffee video that I enjoyed and it also inspired me was EconoChallenge kzbin.info

[@ericwood3709]

Have you considered doing a campfire dandelion coffee? I saw you did one about making it at home, but it occurs to me that it would make for a good camp coffee solution, since you could source it on-site.

[@utubit22]

not bad Lonnie :) was so happy that you started from scratch. exactly why I choose to home roast with a pan rather than a specified roaster ;) practice makes... well much better than no practice. still can't understand why people cook their coffee tho... 0_0??

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

Sorry Eric. KZbin does not always let me know when a reply to a comment comes and so I missed this one until now when I was searching for something else. No I have never done a dandelion roast on a fire. It ought to work fine though and certainly be a great camp drink.

[@leoseven9343]

Thank you. I Will check it now. And I Will try it in my videos.

[@RelyeaRonnie]

Your wife is an excellent camera person !!! Zooms in and out at the right time and angles are perfect for seeing what your doing.

[@SouthernPatriot1]

Ronnie Relyea I agree! Connie is a great camera person!

[@scarfydog8684]

Ronnie Relyea yea and is breathing like crazy and constantly clearing her throat

[@elliegirl5076]

She makes Lonnie look good. 😋

[@D9everything]

"So what'd you do this weekend?" "Oh, I made a cup of coffee."

[@pparker768]

And, didn't even make enough for her too.

[@00_ELECTRICWIZARD_00]

[@EconoChallenge]

The best part of this demo and many others you have done is the great stories you add. Thank you, Lonnie.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

I put a link to your channel in the comment that i "pinned" to the top of the comments of this video. You along with Mark Young on KZbin were in part, inspiration for this video. Thanks for watching.

[@martymartin2894]

Of all the different videos like this I've watched on KZbin of camping and survival. This man is way ahead of all the rest and naturally gifted.

[@wolfheartoutdoors2056]

Exactly! He don't need all the fancy gear.

[@klodoen1]

I quite agree. Lonnie and Connie are good salt of the earth people.

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Just something special about drinking coffee in the woods. And getting that smoky flavor from the campfire is, just plain delicious.

[@bigunone]

My dad used to use a 3 pound coffee can that he bent a spout into. He would then fill it about 3/4s of the way up with cold water and set it on the fire once it came to a rolling boil he would shake out a hand full of grounds into his hand and dump it in. He would pull it off the fire with a pair pliers and let it simmer for a bit, then using a clean tshirt as a filter pour it into another can using the appropriate language if the shirt flopped into the can dispersing the grounds back into the coffee,

[@The_Warrior526]

LOL!

[@cmcclellan9721]

VERY Appropriate, I'll bet made me smile.

[@Incubansoul]

I am fluent in the appropriate language lol

[@Pinhead101]

You sir, have my deepest respect. The way you made just one cup of coffee was like nothing I personally witness before. Thanks

[@66windar]

love your contributions to u tube Lonnie. You are a 1 in a million

[@joybickerstaff194]

Jeeper Atheart Hello, I second ur comment!!! Have a wonderful day

[@KE4YAL]

Thanks Lonnie great video. My Grandma when the coffee finished brewing when she set the pot off the fire she took her wooden spoon an tapped the side of the pot she said that made the grounds settled to the bottom. Just a little something from my childhood

[@dustynevada7769]

You can also add a bit of cold water to the coffee to settle the grounds.

[@ElderlyFatGuy]

I still throw in an egg shell to settle the grounds. I know it's an old wive's tale, but my wife and I are old.

[@russellg1274]

So thats why Ive seen eggshell and coffee mixed. Thanks Dave. Something I hadnt thought about in decades. A mystery finally solved.

[@rickbloom1869]

I've made lots of cowboy coffee. Tapping the pot may help but either way, it cant hurt. Egg shells and water? I doubt they do anything. In my experience the thing to do is exactly what lonnie did here. Give the grounds a bit to settle and dont shake it up. Personally i prefer a coffee sock or a filter screen. Also, some people, like me, don't mind a chunk or two in our coffee to chew on. I used to roast coffee on occasion for a friend that had a roastery and coffee shop. Part of that process is tasting the beans by chewing them up. I developed a taste for warm roasted coffee beans. I especially like them covered with chocolate.

[@jessginn5476]

Rick Bloom egg shells work better than any other method besides filtering. Works best with fresh egg shells that still have a little of the egg whites stuck to the shell

[@mccalltjtm]

Thanks Lonnie for the cup of coffee, I really enjoyed the visit.

[@Auriam]

When I first saw the title of this video I wondered how making cowboy coffee could possibly take 18 minutes... and then I saw that you were actually roasting the green beans - wow!

[@mutevosburg9800]

Thanks Connie and Lonnie great video

[@mrtaylor9123]

I can't think of one of you guys videos that I didnt enjoy and learn something 👍

[@scarletjoehandsome2360]

Another really great video! In times like these, nothing is more calming than watching you making coffee from the bean up.

[@robinversailles7585]

It's always a soothing and refreshing experience to visit with Lonnie in one of these videos. Very much akin to watching a Bob Ross painting episode. He deserves a wider audience, perhaps even a TV show.

[@DaveA1051]

The best part of waking up is Lonnie’s roast and a cup 😁

[@Woodenarrows]

Thanks Lonnie, and Connie. Great video, interesting hints and tips and a great 3 day bean story :-)

[@MarkAJ311]

Nothing I love more than cowboy coffee! This is great Lonnie.

[@a_drifting_proton]

very cool guy... i liked his beard! the way he narrate was awesome and the demonstration was excellent.... t

[@Dutch_Prepper]

Great video Lonnie! Nothing better than a strong cup of coffee in the bush.

[@TeroZone]

Nice video. I learned from northern parts of Lapland in Sweden and Finland to set the grain when the water was boiling. When you set the grain, you boil again, take out let it sink a little, boil secon and a third time. Then let the coffey sink to the bottom. Guess there are different ways. Nice to see the traditional roasting too. BR Tero

[@Vladimir-hq1ne]

Oh those antique coffee roasters that so rare almost no one seen them. Dieselpunk-styled, helm-rotated, brass, cast iron, and bronze made.

[@TINMAN]

Thanks Lonnie.My father was an actual cowboy.He did quite a bit of broc busting in his day which he payed for later in life,but the memories were well worth it.He said that they would put egg shells"half shells" one or two in the bottom of their coffee pot and it would take the bitterness out of the coffee.It does work,give it a try some day.

[@area46241]

That was just plain fantastic! The pot hanger is brilliant. I never knew the beans crackled two times...love this channel!

[@Chris-yo4ks]

Coffee was made like this WAY before the time of cowboys. Roasting and grinding the beans dates back to the Ottoman empire (14th century). While in Bosnia, I grew to like the "Home made coffee" which is finely ground roasted coffee, and prepared almost exactly as you show. This is my preferred way of making coffee......I mix the ground right into my cup, pour boiling water over.....spoon of honey, stir, let it settle, and a perfect cup of coffee. Of course, this makes a MUCH stronger cup than the HORRID stuff sold at gas stations......and better than most coffee shops. IMHO Great video.

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Great video! The whole family watched it just now!

[@terryw.milburn6414]

Great seeing You Connie & our 'Ole-Buck; Couldn't think of a better way to end my day. Sure made me drool a lil Hah Thanks, Friends ! ATB Terry God Bless

[@tammielewis2438]

I was amazed at the color of the creek. I'll bet that is some really COLD water! Fun video.

[@tompanetti75]

Thanks Lonnie and Connie. Great story too.

[@Jackalopestravels]

I always smile when you pull out that Victorinox Forester (they call it a Trekker now, and the new Foresters come with a silly corkscrew). Truly one of the most useful pocketknives ever made.

[@WalkWild]

Nice to see the bean cooking part! Good Job Lonnie 👍🏼

[@LaurentGouzouAKALynx]

Hey Lonnie that's the Burtonsville suspenssion rig and the Mors Kochanski cow-boy coffee. I really like That suspenssion rig because IT does not need anything else than your knife and few sticks. I am big fan of all what Mister Kochanski had brought and help to discover to many generations of outdoorsmen and women as well as woodsmen and women. I saw Mark vid on roasting the beans and now after seeing your IT gives me the boost to try IT either😉 Ciao from Québec ⚜

[@X_explorer]

Fantastic vid! I like observing earth, explore and meditate...

[@DUTCHHUSKY66Treesandforest]

Thanks for sharing, I always find your video's a nice calm moment in a busy week, enjoy them a lot!!

[@alfredomartinez6485]

Thank you for the video and for showing us how you make all of the tools you use in your project. I am very fascinated you know all of these neat tricks to cook out in the woods. Thank you!

[@josephirwin1168]

Thank you, Lonnie and your Kind wife, for sharing your experience , I'm learning quite a bit, Your a good woodsman.

[@garyw5627]

Another Great video Lonnie/Connie! Makes me want to get back up there again. Where I lived in Chitna, we had a cow and two calves hanging around for much of the spring and they were as curious as that one was. Lonnie by the way, I just tried my first bow drill fire on Sunday and had great success after opening up the notch in my hearth board. Went from nothing to fire in about 10 mins. I used red oak for the hearth and the spindle and cut a locust sapling for my bow and used 550 cord. I was amazed at how easy it really was. Thanks for all of the videos that you do.

[@sosteve9113]

very nicely done Lonnie,this is how its done the old days you appreciate even more a cup of coffee when yo see how much effort there is in it,then rather take a instant package right of the shelf thank you for showing all these small tips and tricks atb Steve

[@aurtisanminer2827]

Cowboy coffee is all i make while out in the woods. It’s just so easy and i need fewer supplies that way.

[@joshknight6145]

This is a great video having coffee outdoors that would be fun

[@cadetmccoy]

pouring a little cold water around the edge of your pot, and down a spout if you have one, will make most or all the grounds intantly sink to the bottom you can do it however you want but this is an easy way to cut a corner. love your videos lonnie and connie i would pay colledge level fees to get this much first hand natural knowledge thank you so much.

[@graceomalley1037]

Thanks so much, Lonnie & Connie! I sure do love my Coffee, especially in the outdoors.......

[@band1986]

Please don't take this the wrong way but in a lot of ways you remind me of my grandpa who has since passed. These videos make my days a little bit better because I can pretend that he's still here.

[@kensbugoutjourney3556]

Thanks Lonnie. As a coffee addict I will def be giving this a try.

[@cavetreasures5475]

Coffee forever ! Thanks Lonnie and Connie :-)

[@DennisKhaye]

I cook like you do Lonnie, "That looks about right." Thanks for doing what you do.

[@TuckerSP2011]

Nice demonstration! I'll bet that coffee tasted good! Loved seeing the curious moose 😊

[@mustangsally5901]

Looked like wonderful coffee, thanks for showing us the ropes.

[@grayeagleswolves]

Hi Lonny and Conny I enjoy your video's love how the cowboy coffee is made I bet it was a rich flaverful tasting cup

[@mrniceguy3750]

This is great stuff...fresh coffee in the woods, awesome 👏

[@jefftuttle7890]

Great video Lonnie and wife. Always enjoy your videos because I always learn something. Beautiful place also. I know that coffee was delicious. Most people don't know that if you brew the coffee like you did it will be well worth the work. Heavenly good.Thanks and God Bless.

Hello to you both from France., The wildlife thought that coffee smelled so good cooking on your campfire. Take care because we care, Lonnie and Connie, see you next visit...

[@tonynapoli5549]

Thank you Lonnie and Connie for sharing this video, 🇬🇧

I liked the moka pot video with the fancy feast stove! Now, the only thing missing is a percolator video.... Happy brewing!

[@TheFunkymunky22]

Thanks Lonnie and Connie!

[@WilleyGHD3]

Just a bunch of Kudos for ALL that you've shared over the years. Thanks from the Heart!!!!!!!

[@halfway2hell]

Another great video Lonnie & Connie! What a great recipe for out in the Bush.

[@BornRandy62]

our church still makes coffee like that with ground coffee. . they go one step further and drop an egg into the mix to clarify the mix. hense the term egg drop coffee. it removes the muddiness and leaves clear clean coffee.

[@frankofthehowardfamily9065]

Thanks Lonnie. Great stuff as always guys

Totally awesome man! Loved this one!

[@jeffhebert9643]

Now you've got me needing a coffee...gotta go. Thanks for the video.

[@pacificpermaculture]

Thanks for the great video ! ! I like that you kept it basic ! !

[@uatafoc]

Nice video Lonnie! Here in Brazil we have the "café tropeiro" that can almost be translated to "cowboy coffee", but thats have one more step to be done. After coffee boils, we add a hot ember from the fire pit. Just grab one and loosely clean the ashes and put inside the pot. One about fist size its ok. Its prevent the coffee powder to rise up when you put in a cup. All the ground coffee powder sticks to the ember...

[@johnyork8708]

I love you and your wifes style, you earned another subscription sir.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

Awesome. Thanks for subscribing and welcome to the channel.

[@brianspencer4220]

Hi Connie & Lonnie: I'm impressed. That was a really a complete review of the process. Its time consuming but sure Looks worth it. Thanks Brian 77

[@piperjon8949]

Mmmm Coffee! Best cup of joe I ever had was made on the banks of the White River (Arkansas), in a big enamel pot with river water, and jus plain ol coffee. I like my fancy brew, but MAN I still remember how good that coffee was. Used the same method as you, so now I think I really want to try my hand. Thank you for the teaching, I love your videos!

[@SKarlsson]

Just like downtown. Fantastic. And moose!

[@jonnyboat2]

I just made my ground coffee in a small pot. I let it come to a rolling boil for about 4 minutes. That is way better than a drip coffee maker. Such a difference in flavor. I didn’t try sinking the grounds with cool water. Worked fine and I didn’t want to cool down or dilute the hot coffee.

[@kennyoakley3360]

we love your channel in Cape Breton ,Nova Scotia Lonnie.cant wait until the next one my friend!!

[@ericwood3709]

Rustic setting and methods aside, this is basically how Turkish coffee is brewed, even to this day, although they do traditionally cook the coffee over hot coals as well. They use a very finely ground coffee in a little copper kettle. It's got bit of an hourglass shape to it, which I guess helps to keep the grounds in it when the coffee is poured out. I've made it myself a couple of times using such a kettle and some finely ground coffee from Europe, and it's pretty good! Definitely different from the usual American brew.

[@SensaiMan]

I can smell the great coffee in London, thanks for sharing your skills.

[@timkaldahl]

Great minds think alike, and so do ours. The first thing I thought was that you needed a peg for your pot handle, and you did it. Then you started roasting beans and I thought, just like popcorn, and then you said that.

[@187WCB]

Lonnie, your asthma sounds like it's a lot better now. Glad to see. From your Canadian neighbor across the Alaskan border.

[@aktrapper6126]

Excellent job Lonnie, and Connie is fantastic at filming. I'll have to give this a try. I do love my coffee, especially that first cup in the morning. Looking forward to some good camping coffee.

[@chuckkelly3976]

Hi folks...Thanks so much for posting that one.l could almost taste that sip lol..Gonna get some green beans ourselves and try that for sure..Enjoyed the moose encounter too.We had a black bear last year come for breakfast in Algonquin Park.

Hi Lonnie. Great video! I am a coffee lover as I am sure you are to by your often mentions of coffee in your videos. Nothing like a cup of coffee at a camp fire. Thank you.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

I was recently "tagged" to do a video on making coffee in the woods. So one of my soon upcoming videos will be on that subject. As you say, I enjoy a good cup of "joe" when in the woods or at home.

[@jentrue]

@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival I look forward to that video!

[@paulb9062]

Thank you Lonnie .catching up on your videos great stuff

[@snsfabricating]

After the coffee is brewed, if you will pour a small amount of cold water in the pour spout, all the grounds will settle to the bottom. Still fine looking camp coffee.

[@joaquin-jacknava2696]

Thanks for sharing a cup of coffee with us. Great video. 👍

[@jeffgrier8488]

Great video as always! I have always been told that if you ad a little cold water after you pull it from the fire, the grounds will all settle.

Thanks to you and your wife for taking the time to show us nearly everything from the wooden handle you made up to the "taste test". I hope to have my technique down in time for Deer Camp this year and see how it compares to the gas station and store bought coffee. Take care.
