Bushcraft Store Cupboard

[Bothwell_Craig]

Soggy boots used one of those during a weekend he seemed to get on with it very well. but best to ask him

I really liked the idea but i dont like using plastic cups

I use one of those but the taller travel mug model (it's just a cafetiere)

I'm a serious java junkie and that mug and some top quality coffee gets me my fix in the outdoors every time

Looks like the first one mentioned, comes down to carrying two cups again.

for the coffee could you use a small muslin bag, like used for herbs.

I bet you could do that...

Think about it, a sort of small mill style bag that you take out of the cup, with all of the coffee grounds.

For my set up this is the best idea so far, because it only adds one little thing to it, and you get real coffee.

I notice that a lot of us take Marvel type dried milk powder but to me it just doesn't taste milky enough (I spose cos It's made from skimmed) so what I do is add couple of spoonfulls of coffee whitener to the mix and to me it tastes much better.

BTW where can I get chilly flakes? I've tried at my local supermarket (Morrisons) and can't find any.

Another one for coffe this time from SWMBO, 70 denier tights(new of course) cut the toes off deep enough to hang in you cup/mug and touch the bottom, stretch around the rim, put in coffee grounds then add hot water, you can still stir and when strength is reached simply gather up edges from around the rim and remove,

Bizzarely, I do not like coffee whitener because it is too creamy. Good idea will have to try. Have often thought it is a bit weak, but I do drink semi-skimmed so not such a big diffrence.

At morrisons, but may be that you have the regional issue. Living in the land of curry, nearly all the supermarkets have stuff like that here.

You could try a Somerfield, they tend to have a lot of weird items. Sainsburys might not be a bad idea, because jamie oliver is always using them.

Good idea that, but have a weird feeling that tights have a taste. They would really work well, because you could make a wire frame for them.

... but have a weird feeling that tights have a taste...

I don't want to know how you found that out

The only thing I can think of is, we used to use it as a filter for something at work(in the power shop, i think), and ended up griping them with teeth, while trying to tape them in place.

First time I was sent for them, thought I was being sent for a 'long weight' .

I guess as my wife thought of it I best be the one to try it, and it works, no sediment, no decernable taste difference. i used brand new ones(no fabric softner or cheesers) and swmbo can still use the main bit as leggings. i'm waiting for some guests to come round so i can some tight filter coffee for them and make all the perculator noises ala nescafe.
