please this only for folk who like coffee the i just ask about the fleece jean did not say i was gone to take them with me. Just as a fact i work out in the cold all the time
so i know that the jeans would not be good to take on a hike. all well back to the coffee have any of you seen those coffee filter that campmor sell they look like a small 4cup filter with a stick thur them and you put a tsp or two and then let the hot water drain thur to your cup. just wondr how well they would work on the trail.
use whatever you heat the water in. Two birds, one stone.
Got almost the exact same mug from when my daughter was in the hospital. No REI label, but it was free.
I used to carry the Nalgene for hot tea and coffee. Now I don't because of the Bisphenol A. I drink hot tea with milk and honey pretty much all through the day Fall through Spring. I would remove the handle. But what sort of plastic is it? Perhaps the same as what I'm drinking out of now. Hmmm. What's this? Made in China. No recycling label. No friggin idea. I guess I'll be tossing this one then. Next.
I was talkin' bout Wolf, not you

Coffee
I was addicted to coffee and I didn't want to take coffee on my thru. I stoped drinking it a couple of weeks before I left. I was drinking about 6 - 10 cups a day before I stopped. The first month went O.K. without it. I would drink hot chocolate in the morning when it was cold out. That didn't last long. I soon started using instant and used that for the rest of my hike.
I have just purchaded a one cup French press coffee maker. It doesn't do a bad job and the next time I go out hiking I'll take it. It looks like an insolated mug. Put the coffee in add boiling water and let it set for a couple of minutes. You that insert a plunger that had a fine screen in it and push it, along with the coffee grounds into the bottom of the cup. I brought it at a Christmas Tree Shop for a couple of dollars.

I'm a hardcore coffee drinker, but don't drink it on the trail. I hate to cook breakfast on the trail. I prefer to break camp early.
If I was going to do it, I'd carry an insulated mug - as has already been mentioned.

I like my Big Sky Bistro French Press Mug.
The last hike I was on the other guys gave me grief because of the number of Coffee singles that I packed into my food bag. I use between two to three when I brew. if you squeeze them as you finish up your cup you get that extra espresso shot effect as well. I was doing just cowboy coffee until a while back but this just makes too much of a mess.
Snow Peak 450ml Titanium mug.
A few years back all the coffee companies came out with single serving coffee in pods. If you could find those you could boils some water, drop in the pod, let it steep, then fish out the pod and drink. I personally use a jetboil with the french press kit.
I like making tea from scratch, from the leaves I mean. There is a particularly good brand of Orange Pekoe that I like, Barbours. Other than that I like different sorts of teas from leaves. I like Russian style teas. Chai type of teas with heavy cloves and spices are particularly good for hiking in cold weather with lots of milk and honey. I will also make tea from local tree bark and stuff, or mix some of that in. Tea is very natural and the more simple you keep it with good ingredients boiling hot water clean metal or ceramic mugs and no fancy gadgets the better it is.
Barbours, King Cole brand, Orange Pekoe.
