Enjoy a cup of coffee when you’re camping miles away from the nearest Starbucks. Richard shows you how to use the GSI Java Press, a great tool for brewing co…
Haha! He’s a coffee snob! I can’t even drink sodas. I’ve got a major issue with getting dehydrated. Caffeine is definitely something you want when dehydrated.
The pain is that glass even in a relatively sedate camping mode will get busted. We broke a french press sitting in a Camper. Jet Boil has a french press setup that I want to try for camping/winter rifle matches. It is pretty self contained and is a metal carafe. Since the press stores inside it doesn’t take up any more room than the regular stove/container.
I say you use that survival gear in real survival situations like that grill in the last episode to cook up an animal you caught like a snake or a fish. Because the way I see it, its not survival just camping and having fun outside.
I’m an American expat and I just had a huge BURST of cognitive dissonance. ‘Cause I was thinking, “WTF? This isn’t survival gear. This is how we make coffee every day! There’s a press like this on every kitchen table.” Then I realize that most Americans probably use electric drip machines.
Did you even watch the whole video?
“Obviously if you’re out in the middle of nowhere and you’re wanting to stay hydrated, caffeine is not the best way to go. You want do drink as much water as possible.” He just doesn’t expect there to be such stupid people out there to take his jokes so seriously. Lol.. You should relax a little.
“Any evidence that caffeine promotes the loss of water from the body has been greatly overplayed in recent years. If you are already dehydrated and consume heavily caffeinated drinks, then there might be a very mild risk of it getting worse. But generally it makes no difference if people drink coffee, tea, cola or water.”

This is pretty much exactly how I make my morning coffee at home or camping. The only exception is I grind the beans first. For backpacking, cowboy up and just dump the ground coffee into a canteen cup of boiled water and let it sit for a few minutes. Grounds don’t matter. You can chew em up.
Id say give it away wouldnt be as fun as the stove to shoot. Im not a big coffee person Ill stick with my mountain dew for caffine and water for everything else. (plus sweet tea and milk)
Not much of a coffee drinker myself. This was the first time I’ve tried the apparatus. Worked really well. I guess it’s kinda hard to screw up the manufacturing process unless the grinds get through the press

I poop in is a little bit then drink it
Take a shatter proof container of freeze dried coffee. One less thing to carry. Leave the press at home (or at Walmart).
Please destroy, shoot, blow up, torch, drop off a cliff. It doesn’t matter. Just destroy.
i use the coffee single pack like a tea bag, blow that POS up .

Yeah, I won’t.

Don’t drink coffee when you’re dehydrated…its a diarrhetic
Caffeine is definitely not your friend when dehydrated

sorry why is this dude doing this and i know its fun to learn how to survives and all but i just wonder what is the reason and purpose of this.
destroy it by throwing it over a mountain, 🙂 then give it away as a one of a kind special edition giveaway.
Single serve Vietnamese coffee filter/”press”. Simple, easy for a single cup, rinse to wash.

A press is on my shtf survival supply list. I just need to add a manual coffee grinder to my suplies. Give it away!
I like this guy, he actually put some effort is his videos!
I use a french press myself…great way to do a single mug. But blow the shit out of it anyway.
Give it away.
Nice video
give it away! I live in Sweden and this is the standard here for making coffee.

Give it away. It looks handy.

I love French press coffee. Don’t destroy it; out in the wilderness we need to conserve resources. Save that bullet or dynamite for a

I would really like that French press.

what a bad idea… Coffee dehydrate the body like the beer does. So you will need more water to rehydrate…
so drink coffee is the worst thing to do in a SHTF scenario…
