every time i watch you great videos i have to rewind because i keep getting distracted by the awe of the beautiful scenery swear you are the luckiest man alive or maybe the smartest .. !!
He is absolutely the guy you want to get advice, tips and tricks from! I've learned more from this man in just a few days of watching his videos, than I'd learned from all of YT in many months! From the proper fire to use to the best shelters; and how to make a nice tent stove, alcohol burner and a hot cup of coffee! He absolutely knows his stuff!
Great video, the view is amazing. This is the way I make coffee while camping as well, I think it's the best. A word of warning: I broke the brass tube on mine a few years ago. The manufacturer does not sell the tube alone, they will sell the top and tube for a few dollars less than a new unit. I cut and threaded the tube and it works fine. I remove it for travel. I use a moka pot at home, same thing with a pot on top.
I love your voice. Listening to you just gives me a nice calm feeling. And watching the coffee brew from start to finish was one of the most satisfying sounds! I could almost smell the coffee in the crisp fresh air. And the view! Goodness. Thank you! Please keep making videos! And tell Connie shes doing a great job!
Hello Lonny I have seen the Coffee video and i like it very much A good Cup of Coffee is always the best that you can get in the wild Greetings and all the best Yours Frank
Lonnie I will always enjoy your videos because you always have alot of very educational information and I always love that because I have seen alot of other people's videos and nothing comes close to the awesome videos you make
Only thing better would have been to enjoy a cup of jaw there with you Lonnie, any brew would taste great with that scenery! That's a cool little piece of kit for sure.
A man that can sit still with a good cup a joe is a friend a mine! Just wanted to add that GSI (great co. btw) makes an "indestructible " french press coffee maker. Looks like less weight and fewer parts. Either way, yeh!
That`s a good system , I just seen one of them around here the other day forget where though -I`ve got the machine that makes the fuel for that it works really good too . LOL
I use the snowpeak 700 mug with a jetboil lid and coffee press with the plunger cut to size. Makes good coffee, only weighs about 6 oz. and you don't need to carry a second cup.
I have looked them up on Amazon before. They apparently no longer make this aluminum 4 cup version. They do however make a stainless steel version which I would prefer anyway. Just do a search for "GSI mini espresso 4 cup" and you should have no trouble finding it.
Great tutorial. Been wanting an espresso maker like that one since I saw it years back when we had a Sportsman's Warehouse in town. When I went to buy it they had closed up and left the state. We still have Cabella's and REI stores local but I haven't driven out there to check if they have them. Might just do that after watching your vid.
Hey there Lonnie and Connie. I recently found your channel and am loving your videos. I see you using a lot of surivval/bushcraft related tools and products. Have you ever considered signing up for Amazon's affiliate program? It works by you sending traffic to their website from your videos, you don't have to add anything you your videos, just a link in the description. For example you use the GSI 4-cup, you could put a link to that product in the description of your video for people to purchase. If people buy it with your link, you make 8-12%+ from the sale. I don't mean to bug you with this and I'm not trying to profit or anything, but I just thought it might be helpful to both you and your viewers. I'll be watching! Take care, J
Yes I am aware of that but just have not got around to it yet. I certainly should and hope to sometime this winter. Thanks for the info. I was not aware that the cut that I get would be that high.
I did prepare a cup of coffee for my self to watch this video, didn't want any issues there (lol). ¿Where did you get the cup you drink from? and ¿are you going to rebuild the shelter some time? I did enjoy those videos very much... Thanks!!! and farewell!!!
The coffee cup was a gift to me from a friend. You can get them on Amazon.com now. Just do a search for "chubby coffee mug" and you should find it. Yes I am going to build a new shelter but don't know when or where yet. It may not get done until next Spring. You are welcome and thanks for watching.
Thank you. Yes I sometimes carry a side arm. For this trip in this video however i had my 12 gauge loaded with 3 inch slugs. It was laying just out of camera view.
This coffee maker eventually broke on me when transporting by snowmachine on a winter campout. The brass spout broke off. So for my everyday coffee maker for home I got the Stainless steel Bialetti Venus model and love it. I have had it for several years now. To replace this one here in this video after it broke, I found an aluminum standard 8 sided Bialetti Moka Express at a thrift store. I wish it was stainless but otherwise I love it.
Ah, I was wondering abouyt that. GSI also makes a coffee maker that has a pot on the top that doesn't have a spout. I think that would be more durable.
@@angelus_solus Yes I have seen that GSI stainless on the web and liked the looks of it. It was quite similar to my Venus model but had butterfly wire handles much better suited for fire use. It is called a GSI Moka Espresso Pot on Amazon.
Hey Lonny, big fan of your videos. Your coffee maker looks to be based on the old greek/italian machines. An Italian girl taught me that the perfect amount of water to use is enough to cover the brass inlet port half way, but that may be too much for your cup, and you should get an even nicer cup out of it by tamping down the beans - it slows down the water and keeps in it contact with the beans for longer. It looks like the base of your alcohol stove is about the perfect diameter to use too.
The amount of water is up to you. Italians drink short coffees, and they drink it in a few sips... Including me. Nice thick liquid, darker than coil. However you are 100% right about the packing. The ground mixture has to be tightly packed in there, and when you screw the top part on - it should compress a bit more. This way a higher temp is required to heat the bottom part up, the more pressure builds in and the steam/water passes trough it harder. As a result you get much better extraction.
The packing and the amount of water go together. Therefore you can get different sizes of these espresso makers. So water up to the brass valve, like Alexander said. I would add that you should better use espresso powder instead of regular coffee, it makes a huge difference. I'm not sure why that is though.
Alexander I've got one like that yeah, Bialetti. Makes a richer brew if you fill the filter cup and tamp it very lightly. But you're getting several shots of espresso at a time, so I always share and add water to each cup for americano style.
Great video. Just a word of caution. I was injured a few years ago by an alcohol stove that lit and blew the fuel bottle I was too close to, although not knowing the time. Just take care with the alcohol fuel stoves and lighting. God bless and always enjoy your videos. Take care Lonnie :)
If I was lost in the deep woods, I'd want this guy to find me, especially with that coffee maker. Looked mighty good if the temp was below freezing! 💙☕🍵
Thanks for the video, and your kind welcome! I was wondering if you drank coffee, and sure enough, truly a man after my own heart! Be safe out there my friend!
@@dirtroadfarmsjimmideanreen2458 Just google Bialetti Moka Express, it brews coffee in basically the same way as his brewer with less fuss. I use mine with a trangia stovetop when hiking, works great!
Hah! I knew you would eventually make a video regarding that espresso maker! We all nearly fell off our logs when you first showed it in your video a few weeks back. Snow capped mountains, pine scent in the air and fresh brewed coffee.. Nothin' like it in the world!! Blessings to you and your wife my friend.
Great to see your wind guard/shield. And to hear how you made it. I like that you take your time speaking. It's like you feel we're right there with you. Coffee looks great btw.
Hi Lonnie, That boiler 4 cup size may refer to the Italian cup size. I use the espresso version it has the same shaped boiler and safety valve, t's also a 4 cup size... If that helps any. our respects to Connie, Hope she is ok. nice visiting with you. Take care coz we care Duncan & Rebecca
Hi Lonnie, I was able to get the same coffee maker as yours since the last video. I really like it , they make a great cup of Joe! Thank you for your info and another great video. Take care Bud!
Lonnie.....I know this is long past the time that you published this but hopefully this tip will help you even now.....since you have an aeropress, if you put a wet aeropress filter under the top portion of your stove top espresso machine or your moka pot, it will filter out the fines that come through and give you a cleaner cup of coffee. I learned this from James Hoffman's YT videos,who is a great resource for coffee knowledge and I remembered that you mentioned that you do not like the particulates that can come through in this kind of brewing process. James also has a great series of videos on the Aeropress you might find interesting. Take care...
I no longer have this moka pot since it busted on a snowmachine trip. However i have Six others of various styles and sizes (thrift store finds). I use a stainless steel Venus model from Bialetti for my everyday coffee brewer now and do use a Aeropress paper filter in it. You are right. I like using the filter so much better than going without.
You learn alot from those who have been where you'd like to go. I like your gear. I'm curious as to the maker of your canteen and coffee maker. Also curious as to how long it took to shoot that video from the point you started recording to finish. I enjoy your videos. They help me to enjoy life. Thank you for adding good things to life and not bad things.
My "canteen" or water bottle is just a standard stainless steel water bottle. The lid however is a stainless steel lid as well that i found at a thrift store on another stainless water bottle don't know the brand name for the lid. I have three or four of these type water bottles and do not know the maker of any of them. They are pretty common here in the United States. The coffee maker is called the 4 cup GSI mini espresso maker. I know what you mean about good things / bad things. We have to wade through far too much "bad things" in life to want to experience them on purpose.
I was waiting for this one since i saw it in one of yours videos. I love that maker ,love your setup and its seem to be so fast to get a brew. What a view at 9:24 for drinking that brew !!! Thank
Mr. Lonnie i almost fell out of my seat when i thought i hear you say "my expreso maker at home " jus didnt picture you as a man with a fancy coffee maker :) you always make these videos fun god blesses you and yours
Espresso isn't a fancy coffee, it was litteraly the Red Bull of it's day. If you went to an espresso bar you wouldn't even sit. Just take the shot and be on your way back to work.
Thank you for the field tutorial on making coffee. I haven't tried making coffee in the higher altitudes and perhaps this is the reason for the espresso maker? I boil water and pour it through a single cup strainer of my fav ground bean. I like the use of the cheap denatured alcohol.
The reason why I like this mini espresso maker is because of the resulting smooth non bitter result. This maker seems to make much better tasting coffee in my opinion than any old fashioned perculators or drip types I've tried including the ones with gold coated foil screens/ filters or paper filters. I also personally enjoy the process of making the coffee using this method.
I broke the brass neck off of mine and so had to replace it with a different style but the same concept that works the same way. I still use mine daily and I agree that the process of making the coffee is part of the reason for making coffee. I just enjoy the whole process. I even roasted my own beans for several years using a hot air popcorn maker. I recently went back to buying whole roasted beans due to the difficulty of obtaining raw beans.
Great espresso maker, I've had 2 for about 20 years in fact one of mine has been around the globe from Asia, Europe and back. Now your use of a gas treatment bottle is a top tip... low cost fuel bottle that is marked well and don't leak. FYI I've forgot once burned up gasket in one.... reason I've got second one while locating replacement gasket.
I have forgot to add water in one of my moka pots once and it got very hot but thankfully I caught it before any damage was done. It had a silicone gasket which handles high heat quite well.
That mountain in the backround is magestic
every time i watch you great videos i have to rewind because i keep getting distracted by the awe of the beautiful scenery swear you are the luckiest man alive or maybe the smartest .. !!
All the face foliage ain't jes fer small critters to overwinter in, its a sine of hiz deep wizdum.
Nothing beats a good cup of coffee on a hike !!!
That thing is great I wish I had it last weekend on my trip that would have been great.
Thanks Lonnie, Nice coffee maker for sure! Beautiful Background!!
He looks like the kinda guy I want to get camping advice from.
He is absolutely the guy you want to get advice, tips and tricks from! I've learned more from this man in just a few days of watching his videos, than I'd learned from all of YT in many months! From the proper fire to use to the best shelters; and how to make a nice tent stove, alcohol burner and a hot cup of coffee! He absolutely knows his stuff!
There isn't anything better than a nice hot cup of coffee out in the sticks.
Great video, the view is amazing.
This is the way I make coffee while camping as well, I think it's the best.
A word of warning: I broke the brass tube on mine a few years ago. The manufacturer does not sell the tube alone, they will sell the top and tube for a few dollars less than a new unit.

Hello Lonny
I have seen the Coffee video and i like it very much
A good Cup of Coffee is always the best that you can get in the wild
Greetings and all the best
Yours Frank
Thanks Lonny. My have to try that. Your videos and camera work are getting very polished! Well done.
Oh yea.. Coffee snobbery out in the wildland.. I'm all about it! Excellent video, sir!
Lonnie I will always enjoy your videos because you always have alot of very educational information and I always love that because I have seen alot of other people's videos and nothing comes close to the awesome videos you make
Thank you for introducing make great coffee.
And I felt very peaceful.
Interesting setup. ....but it is easier and faster with a small French press. ...and I believe it will taste just as good.
Only thing better would have been to enjoy a cup of jaw there with you Lonnie, any brew would taste great with that scenery! That's a cool little piece of kit for sure.
A man that can sit still with a good cup a joe is a friend a mine!
Just wanted to add that GSI (great co. btw) makes an "indestructible " french press coffee maker. Looks like less weight and fewer parts.
Either way, yeh!
That`s a good system , I just seen one of them around here the other day forget where though -I`ve got the machine that makes the fuel for that it works really good too . LOL

At 2:41 I thought, "did I miss him add the water?" Suspicions confirmed at 3:49. I'm lol'ing. Nice setup Lonnie.
oh my gosh that Is amazing where can I find ONE of those Espresso makers
I have looked them up on Amazon before. They apparently no longer make this aluminum 4 cup version. They do however make a stainless steel version which I would prefer anyway. Just do a search for "GSI mini espresso 4 cup" and you should have no trouble finding it.

You can get these online if interested. Amazon for instance has them. It is a GSI mini espresso 4 cup
Thanks for the info. Now I know what to search for it as.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival Used to be Coughlans. Came with a blue enamel demitasse.

Never wanted a cup so bad as after watching that ending lol. Screw Juan Valdez
Good Lord Alaskan Starbucks hahaha!!!!
Great video Lonnie, I have a unrelated question do carry a side arm in the bush ?
Thank you. Yes I sometimes carry a side arm. For this trip in this video however i had my 12 gauge loaded with 3 inch slugs. It was laying just out of camera view.
That'll work
I like this idea. At least it's made of stainless and won't leach aluminium in to my drink like others will.

Subbed!
Great. Glad you subbed. I hope you will find many many videos here that will interest you and be entertaining and/or helpful for you.
Looks great.. But you need some cream and sugar in there.. 😜
There's elk down there.
this man can gut a moose solo . and pack it out. im subscribed for a reason. plus his voice helps me sleep
haha me too. I have insomnia and watch these videos to help me relax and sleep.
oh yeah, he is the Bob Ross of smart and thrifty camping and survival skills.Great show,as pleasant as it is usefull.
Usually when someone is talking to you you don't sleep. lol
Bob Ross also lived in Alaska
he is the Bob Ross of bushcraft.
I was watching for a few seconds before I suddenly noticed the landscape in the background and I go "Holy cow!" 😲
It's a Bob Ross landscape in the background - and thinking about it a kind of Bob Ross foreground too. ;-)
3:28 his finger is spot on, thats some excellent production value right there.
What you get when you combine MacGyver and Grizzly Adems? A mountain man that can rig up a good cup of coffee and look cool while doing it.👍
DarkWolf76 Lonnie put the oo in cool . He's a total natural.
Great timing. I'm doing a series on Coffee in the Woods on my channel and I will be showing an espresso maker in a future video. Thanks for sharing
"I forgot to put water in there"... you're the best man, we've all done it. Please keep doing what you do.
Watching Dusty Hill in his freetime making coffee.😄
Love the ZZ-Top style and your calm voice. Keep up the good content.

"espresso powder instead of regular coffee" The difference is the grain size only.
Yup, it comes down to how fine the beans are ground. Lonny says he does this himself - which is best for a good cup of coffee also.
Alexander I've got one like that yeah, Bialetti. Makes a richer brew if you fill the filter cup and tamp it very lightly. But you're getting several shots of espresso at a time, so I always share and add water to each cup for americano style.
Nothing beats sitting in God‘s garden drinking an extremely satisfying cup of coffee.
What a great backdrop. Alaska is so beautiful. Stay safe, my friend.
Still loving every video Lonnie! Could you give us a quick primer on a campfire percolator coffee pot... Please!
that view behind you, man I would love to have a cup of coffee and look at that all day. great chanel and video
Great video. Just a word of caution. I was injured a few years ago by an alcohol stove that lit and blew the fuel bottle I was too close to, although not knowing the time. Just take care with the alcohol fuel stoves and lighting.
God bless and always enjoy your videos.
Take care Lonnie :)
If I was lost in the deep woods, I'd want this guy to find me, especially with that coffee maker. Looked mighty good if the temp was below freezing! 💙☕🍵
bravo bravo If i may say so this is one of the coolest vids ever also I learned how to make coffee outside today! THANK YOU!
I want a cup of coffee now...lol. Now that is a good brew with a great view!
All hail the sacred holy bean which we call coffee!
Thanks for the video, and your kind welcome! I was wondering if you drank coffee, and sure enough, truly a man after my own heart! Be safe out there my friend!
8:16 when he whips out that Leatherman like a boss
I know you cant help it, but your vids are very relaxing as well as informative. From the forests of Cornwall, England
"Ahhhhh" is right! Thanks Lonnie!
Very impressed with your knowledge and the way you improvise to get things done
That was a great video, love the coffee brewer. keep up the good work. love watching your channel.
Hey Lonnie, you always share to us new ways of enjoying the wilderness ;) Take care.
Thanks Lonnie.. Beautiful View! You make me want to go outside and perk my coffee.. Love your videos.. God Bless.. Bill
Looks like a great cup of coffee... I gotta get me one :) Thx for another great video! And awwww man... u're store is offline :(
DavidC
It’s an Italian design, they make espresso and drink it out of very small cups: hence 4 cups to them is about one of our cups
What's the name brand so I can order one!!!
@@dirtroadfarmsjimmideanreen2458 Just google Bialetti Moka Express, it brews coffee in basically the same way as his brewer with less fuss. I use mine with a trangia stovetop when hiking, works great!

As always another great video Lonnie. The coffee went great with the scenery that surrounds you my Friend. Thanks so much for sharing. :)
will say I like the one shown. mine is different. more compact I'd say.
Production quality! I love it. I can tell the hard work you put into these videos. Keep it up!
Great to see your wind guard/shield. And to hear how you made it. I like that you take your time speaking. It's like you feel we're right there with you. Coffee looks great btw.
That was a very good looking cup of coffee. I make cowboy coffee all the time. Be safe, brother.
Epic background!
That is the coolest coffee maker I've ever seen! You have what amounts to a camp-side Keurig!
Hi Lonnie, That boiler 4 cup size may refer to the Italian cup size. I use the espresso version it has the same shaped boiler and safety valve, t's also a 4 cup size... If that helps any. our respects to Connie, Hope she is ok. nice visiting with you. Take care coz we care Duncan & Rebecca
it is a 4 espresso cups coffee maker, or a 4 people moka
Apparently they are calling it 4 cup because it will make 4 doppio sized drinks
nothing like a good cup of jo... in the bush.... with nature. Mmmm....
Hi Lonnie,
I was able to get the same coffee maker as yours since the last video. I really like it , they make a great cup of Joe! Thank you for your info and another great video. Take care Bud!
Keep up the good videos Lonnie!!! I don't know u but I can tell ur a good man

Great cup of joe Lonnie surrounded by beautiful scenery. You getting snow on the homestead yet? We are suppose to get some here real soon.
Ernie
No, no snowfall yet. Last I looked at the forecast it was predicting possibly next week.
Mr. Lonnie i almost fell out of my seat when i thought i hear you say "my expreso maker at home " jus didnt picture you as a man with a fancy coffee maker :)
you always make these videos fun god blesses you and yours
Espresso isn't a fancy coffee, it was litteraly the Red Bull of it's day. If you went to an espresso bar you wouldn't even sit. Just take the shot and be on your way back to work.
That´s exactly my way of brewing coffee!
What a beautiful setting.. I have never had the pleasure of enjoying a cup, with that kind of majestic mountain view... Thanks for sharing..

Now your use of a gas treatment bottle is a top tip... low cost fuel bottle that is marked well and don't leak.
FYI I've forgot once burned up gasket in one.... reason I've got second one while locating replacement gasket.
I have forgot to add water in one of my moka pots once and it got very hot but thankfully I caught it before any damage was done. It had a silicone gasket which handles high heat quite well.
Nothing like a good cup of brew!
keep being you! you look so at peace! :)
That's the best lookin cup of joe I've ever seen. makes me want to make coffee on a mountain top now.
Loved it my friend
That's cool. After I charge my battery, I'm checking how to make the alcohol stove.
