Personally, I carry a 12 cup percolator. I need WAY more than a cup or two of coffee when I'm out camping. However, I have been considering getting an AeroPress. Everyone who gets one of these seems to rave about them.

For camping Big sky french press/mug. There are others out there (nicer and more expensive) but I like the 16 oz capacity, the fact it is insulated, it is plastic, (drop it in the rocks no big deal) all for around 12 bucks.

Well, I guess I've resisted long enough. I just ordered an AeroPress from Amazon.com. It was $27.95 with free shipping and it comes with a tote bag to pack it for camping. I'll post a review after I receive it.

I don't always take a jet boil, I didn't know if there was a good "unbreakable" french press or another way to make coffee other than with a peculator.

I'm going to see about the folgers bags, that may be the way to go.

Warhammer, I'm really curious about the Nalgene Bottle press, I have one, take it with me so this would save me from carrying TWO things.

I think I may have found my chair:

It's a bit weird, with only two legs, but it rocks (in the forward and back sense, not the headbanging, "dude, this band rocks!" sense), it folds up very small, and it's reasonably light at 18 ounces. And, the cost isn't too bad, at about $60.

I've ordered one and I'll post a review when I've had a chance to try it out.

OK, the Alite Monarch chair finally arrived, and after a couple of days messing about with it I have to say it's the real thing. It packs reasonably small (say, 5" by 13"), it's light (about a pound and a half) and it works. Reading the reviews posted by others at the REI website, I was a bit concerned that it would be somewhat complicated to assemble, but not a problem. Color coded and everything.

It's smaller than I expected, and only lifts your rear about 8 inches off the ground, but it's comfy and stable enough (even after a few drinks!), and a side benefit of being a little bit low to the ground is that it fits inside my tent very comfortably; I think that will be nice if it's raining. It has found a permanent place in my camping checklist.

It may not be for everyone; your own legs effectively function as two of the chair legs, so it won't stand up when you do, and getting settled into it involves a learning curve. I thought I might have pulled a stomach muscle the first time I tried to sit in it, but at least I learned there are still some muscles in there somewhere.

Two thumbs up!

It's all a luxury if you are just wanting to "survive". Just like backpacking, it's all about your desired level of comfort! How much weight do you want to "carry" to be comfortable!

My ck list
1 sleeping bag
2 12pack of beer
3 matches
that's all i need for the weekend
