Cowboy Coffe:
I picked this method for making good camping coffee up on a week long hiking trip on the Bogon High Plains earlier this year, and have been using it on outings ever since. It's very simple, and does not require very much material to do. I will attatch photos for as many of the steps as I can, but they aren't particulalrly good quality (Taken on a smart phone :_fiu: ) and the pot of coffee photographed was made on a stove (As our night long camp out fell on its face
iange: ). Anyhow, without further or do, lets get into it!!
You will need:
1x Billy can/Cooking pot of some form
3 teaspoons of ground coffee, IE Vitoria (I have found to three teaspoons to work the best for me, but these things are always best altered to personal taste, so experiment!!)
A source of heat (Fire, stove etc)
A little bit of cold water, out of a canteen etc (About 1/8th of a cup works for three teaspoons of grounds, but obviously more coffee needs more cold water and vica versa, but not a lot of cold water is required)
Sugar/Milk/Other coffee additives to personal taste
Method:
1. Fill the billy can/Pot with enough cold water for the volume of coffee you wish to make:

2. Spoon in the coffee grounds and stir them in (You will not achieve a smooth consistency at this stage, that doesn't matter, all you want to achieve in stirring at this stage is to break up clumps of coffee and have the coffee in the water rather then floating on top)

3. Place the pot/billy onto the heat, and allow it to boil:

4. When it boils remove the pot from the heat:

5. Add the cold water to the pot, but DO NOT stir it in, how this works is the coffee grounds cling to the colder water and sink to the bottom, allowing you to pour the coffee out, minus the grounds.
(No photo for this step)
6. Distribute sugar (If taken)

7. Pour out the coffee:

8. Enjoy!!

Hopefully this helps out those of you that didn't know how to do this already.
Cheers,
