I've done quite a few canoe camping trips, including two this year already, but I'm thinking I'll try my first solo trip once the bugs die down a bit. I'm curious if I'll be bored out of my mind alone or if I'll enjoy it.

Piggybacking here to ask if anybody's done it with someone younger than 2? Thinking of taking my kid when they are ~14 or 15 months for a short car camp to test it out.
I do mostly portage camping so try to keep my weight down. I'm pretty happy with doing cowboy coffee over my stove, but I use a modified James Hoffman's french press technique:
- Boil water, add coffee. Add lid, wait ~5 minutes.
- Stir and scoop out foam floating on top. Return lid, wait ~5 minutes.
- In one single pour, pour coffee from pot into another pot, watching that the sediment remains behind.
- Pour from second pot into cups to serve.
I find doing this I get a really clean cup with practically no sediment, and don't need to bring any additional equipment with me.
Cool, thanks! I've signed up. Got James Brown Live at the Apollo as my first and I'm digging it so far.
The guy who pretended he had never tried potatoes before, the first time he met his girlfriend's parents. "Ooh Po tay toes, these look very interesting!"
Oh the mesh sounds good!
But yeah, car camping is fun cause of the kinda things you can bring without worrying about weight!
