I searched for tactical condoms in order to post something funny, and came upon this:

I'm not sure if that service is real or not, but I can think of quite a few times it would have been very useful... :rofl:

A coffee maker that weighs 12 pounds? Before you put 85 ounces (5+ pounds) of water in it? On the bright side, it does fit the Yeti Rambler (whatever that is) and with a "crush-proof chassis that can withstand 1500lbs load" you can use it as a jack stand in a pinch. All for only $330. If the electrical cord had enough tensile strength to function as a tow strap then I'd consider it.
I've started to pare down my junk that I bring along when I go out. I used to bring a French press, Kelly Kettle, & hand grinder so I could have good coffee on the trail. I might decide to do that again, but for now I just bring those Starbucks VIA packages or Barry's tea bags. All of the extra effort is just not worth it for me most of the time. Crappy coffee is still pretty good when you're outside.
In the spirit of D-web thread drift, how do you like that tea? I usually drink Typhoo but currently have a box of Lifeboat I'm working through. How would you compare it with other teas? If Barry's is strong I'd give it a try.
The amount of weight and space needed for the tea setup is hard to beat.
I use a Jetboil, French press, and coffee pre-ground from whatever local coffee shop that is convenient. My biggest issue is cleaning out the French press afterwards. I was thinking of switching to pourovers since the filter can just be tossed along with all of the grounds.
Starbucks VIA packets are good for like a thimble's worth of coffee, and instant coffee in a jar turns into something completely awful in a while (beyond the point of being outside making up for its crappiness).
Check this out, Mike; I might consider this for the next trip.
The jetboil->french press setup seems to work pretty well for us too. The cleaning isn't too bad, but then again my standards for cleanliness on the trail may be very relative too.
My brother in law is from Dublin and swears that Barry's is the best Irish tea. I really like Barry's but I do prefer the loose tea. It seems richer. Anyways Barry's makes a decent, relatively strong tea that's a little more malty than most English teas which seem to be more fragrant and perfumey.
I don't go crazy cleaning it, but I hate putting it away wet with a bunch of coffee grounds in it.
The next pot's boiling water will kill the nasties.
When I used to backpack, I would do a pour over with a reusable cotton filter.... that was hard to clean & questioned ones level of cleanliness.
