Pick up one hot coal half the size of a golf ball and simply drop it in the pot of coffee after the boil is gone and settled down to just under boiling. Eurica! Down go the grounds as the coal cools and also sinks to the bottom. Process not guarenteed if the burning medium was dried buffalo or cattle chips. This is absoutely certified from my campfire cowboy coffee experiences learned as a Boy Scout many years ago.
That's a great tip docgipe. Thanks. Great article Summer. We put large rocks around our firepit and let the coffee steep on those after pulling the pot out of the fire as they kept the coffee warm. I think the grounds in the coffee are kinda part of the tradition. Like tealeaves in tea.
...this a great memory when a man and a boy really did have time to sit on a log by the fire and watch the coals die. Those were the days that do not appear often any more. My many back up men as leaders seemed to be in their second or third childhood watching the fire and listening to the call of the loon on the nearby lake. I often wonder what the present kids will remember as they sit by the dieing desk top all alone and jittering games of the net at my age when they get there. I'm afraid cowboy coffee, the call of the loon and dieing campfire will be unknown values.
I hear ya docgipe. One of the blessings of Canada being relatively unpopulated is that there are vast tracts of wilderness close by. Not many take advantage of this anymore.
