Great project Professor. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks

I found some of Nessmuks letters posted online and while reading thru them, realized that a very similar system that he described exists present day in the boundry waters of Minnesota. Different lodges situated on different lakes accessable only by canoe and portage. I watched all of your videos and your dehydrated meal in a pouch with the asparagus reminded me of the meals we carried along up there. altho things might have changed since the 1970s

@cuffem311 Thanks for asking! There are some other variations in Nessmuk's hints, but this is the easiest and lightest. The others require forging. I appreciate your questions and comments.

@huguenot67 The coffee pot is a repro of a Civil War coffee boiler. Google should turn some options!

@mem7048 The completed trivet weighs 6 oz. The 10-32 bolts are 2 inches long, which is the right height to cook over coals.

Where can I get one of those coffee pots?

[cuffem311]

I always wondered where you got those things

Nice, lightweight (relatively), neat trick to take camping and bushcrafting! Not being an ultralight backpacker I can definitely see a few of these in my future. Thanks for the tip!
