This guy is so underrated. Should have a million subscribers by now.
Freakin agreed! He should have so many more!
Facts
@@MonkeyMikeOutdoors just his 1790’s survival series episodes alone should put him way on top. Looks like a A LOT of effort went into making the series. Hope he carries on and continues.
Agreed!!
That's very true
My grandfather worked for GM&O railroad many long years ago (he retired in the late 60's). Anyway, he made what he called hobo coffee but he didn't put the grounds in the rag as you did. He would start his water boiling and add a handful of coffee grounds to the boiling water and boil for a couple of minutes. He'd remove it from the heat and go ahead and make his breakfast. Then he would pour his coffee through a piece of flour sack or a handkerchief into his cup filtering out the grounds. Even when he was at home making coffee he made it the same way. It was pretty strong but delicious. Great video... I love your enthusiasm.
My younger brother was in the Sea Scouts, there he learned to make, was he called Cowboy Coffee. Similar to what you described but they would broken egg shells. This was to help settle the coffee grounds so during odd the coffee was a little easier. Me, I just use a Moka Pot.
This is how I do it when I don't have a coffee filter at hand
You can leave the coffee.
It go to down .
So long not stur it stay dare.
You can drink it slow .
There is much about real-world survival people need to know. I wrote a book called Survival Backpacking for every situation and Occasion. It's been a decent seller. This book was based on my own life experience camping, hiking, trapping, traveling, and a lifetime of living out of what I've raised, trapped, and shot over the years.
I LOVE this " hobo" series! I hope there's more. I've always been very interested in the Great Depression era. My Grandfather was a WW1 veteran.
I think about him alot. 100 years ago, he would have still been in the USArmy air service. He would have been fresh back from France. He would have just met my Grandmother.
Very cool!
Just like the old fashion military way of making coffee we used the steel liners of helmets to make coffee and we used a clean sock
What is this mythical "Clean Sock" of which you speak? :)
Indeed. Thank you for watching!
@@WayPointSurvival
~In the bush we made Camfire Coffee in about a 48 ounce large tin can, drill a hole on each side for a wire handle. 3/4 full of water boiled over a fire then we just throw the 'pre ground coffee' directly in (no need to filter). Boil then take off the fire, put in a small amount of cold water to "scare the grounds down" to the bottom. Pour and enjoy.!
~Also look up & listen to one of my 'very' favorite songs. Coincidentally it is about Hobos:>> Big Rock Candy Mountain, by: Harry McClintock (recorded in 1928).
~Please find the lyrics and read the words to this wonderful song.!
I hope they were White Sox and not toxic(and highly carcinogenic) red dye like he's got in his bandana. I wear a red or a red white and blue bandana every day. A new one turned my forehead solid red and tinted my hair pretty good. So I think I'd use my dirty dye-free sock before I'd use my bandana.
Maybe if you boiled the dye out a couple times and then just used it as a filter.
I can't even drink anything with Red#3 or Red#40 without getting bad heartburn. And I just fact checked and it says it can cause headaches which I got the other night after eating chocolate covered cherries that unfortunately had lots of dye. Should have read first instead of waiting til they turned my mouth bright red.
I think a hobo would probably just make this like "cowboy coffee" where you just add the hot water to the grounds in the cup, stir it up, and then let the grounds settle to the bottom.
Some would definitely do that.
I love cowboy coffee and so do my friends once I've made it for them.
Hi from the UK. I have a fascination for the hobos and itinerant travellers and their lives. Thank you for making these films, we mustn’t lose the knowledge of these hard working people and the old ways
👍🏻🤗
My Dad showed me how to do this when I was 8 or 9, although he would carry a few sugar cubes for me until I got used to drinking it black. 50 years later, I still do this while backpack- hunting when a quick cup is all that's needed to warm my innards..🙂 Great channel, James..
Thank you so much!
Sure was sad to hear Dan Lutz has passed. All of us in the bushcraft and backwoods camping community all feel the sadness of this loss. What a wealth of knowledge he possessed..!! Farewell, Mr. Lutz... until we meet again. 💪🇺🇸
When you do cowboy style you save the grounds in the tin and keep reusing them and stretching your coffee supply longer.
Brilliant. I spent 50 years as a hobo and you always seem to come up with better ways than what I learned. The way we made coffee in the jungles ( when camps were still called that ) was kind of cowboy coffee. We took a gallon tin can, threw ground in the bottom, slowly added water to about an inch from the top, added a egg shell, a tiny pinch of salt, topped with a twig overlapping the sides, then brought to a boil. The twig helped prevent boil over. A few minutes at boil, then carefully removed from fire and set on the ground. A little cool water would settle the grounds. Wait a few minutes to brew right , then carefully ladle the coffee in our tin can cups. We would save the last inch, and add about 1/2 as much water and boil for a pretty good second helping out of the ground or for those that didn't care for real stout coffee.
Thanks so much for all the great tips and ideas. I really do appreciate it!
You and I could easily write a set of books on the subject if we worked togather. @@WayPointSurvival
i drink coffee and use beans if you put the tiniest pinch of salt in with the grounds it takes the bitterness away and the flavours flow great video i watch a lot of your videos i just got myself 2 fire sticks as in a video of yours i hunted high and low have not seen them before but got them now.
A pat of salted butter is fab too!!!😁👍🏻
Yes, that is also a useful trick. Thank you for watching and glad you were able to find the resources you were looking for.
I'm going to try your tiny pinch of salt suggestion!
Nothing like a warm cup of coffee on a cold day! Great video!
True, thank you for watching!
I don't use rag . I just pour grounds in cup and boil it. Then last after boiling a few minutes pour in cool water into can . That will settle the grounds to bottom of boiling can. Makes it easier cowboy coffee is made that way out on the ranches. Great video thanks
Thanks for watching!
I think that's why it's hobo coffee not cowboy coffee. I think it's more about the process of making the coffee. Extra steps keep you engaged and distracted from your troubles for a while and focus on the simple things.
Haa ha haa i like your intros. Super video... i never made a coffee in this way!
Thank you so much, my friend! Hope everything's going well for you and I'm getting ready to go over to your channel and watch your newest Christmas carving video.
Love the video. I use my canteen cup as my coffee pot, and do it cowboy style without filtering the grounds. But i do roast and grind in the cup. Its nice to show people that you dont need fancy tools and a little creativity (and needing your morning coffee) can get it done.
Indeed. There are many simple things that can be done without a lot of money or tools. Thank you for watching!
Cowboy coffee...don't you steep or boil the grounds in the coffee pot then pour a cup of cold water in to make the grounds go to the bottom of the pot?
I found it easier to chew the beans to a fine powder then I bring my water to a boil and drink mmmmm but your method looks intriguing I will have to try it thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you for watching!
Lols
This is awesome brother, love this hobo series you have going!!!! Keep up this fantastic content!!!
Thank you so much!
I love the way you delv into the different time periods of our history and pass on the knowledge! I also like that you take the common man approach. Thanks for sharing my friend 🤠
Thank you so much, and I'm glad you're enjoying the channel!
You have some of the best, practical, and real life survival tips in short, precise, and clear videos. Thank you so much!
Thank you for watching and for all the kind words!
Loving this series and can't wait to see more. The hobo is something of a mystery that is being unlocked as we watch the channel. Hope there's more on the way.
Another good tip. I’ve done this before with ground coffee, but honestly never thought of grinding coffee beans in the field. Thanks for sharing
. - Tennessee Smoky
Thank you so much, and glad you liked it!
An axe head, or hammer, works well as a coffee grinder,, Best of luck.
@@WayPointSurvival Great video! I keep the cotton string from bird seed bags, also dog and cat food bags have these to. I wind them around a two and a half to three inch piece of folded paper. Comes in handy for multiple things. Also, I like the enameled cups, blue or black for heating water in. CAUTION!!!! Be VERY CAREFUL when drinking and handling cup, gloves for the hands. Do not know personally, BUT supposedly a piece of duct tape on the rim makes for easier drinking when still very hot. Stay safe and GOD bless ALL.
Another great video! My grandfather used to take in hobos for work around the old place, cutting wood, etc. He paid them with a little money and food, and a warm place to sleep for the night. This was back between the wars.
Thank you so much!
Sounds like a good man
I absolutely enjoy watching the different bushcraft coffee videos, this one was one of the best! Thank you for the great content!!!
Thank you so much!
I love these videos gotta stay informed just incase the grid goes down
These videos bring back so many camping memories for me. I started out sleeping rough and over the course of twenty years or so I ended up having a nicer place than one of the apartments I used to live in. But that's a bad thing, I need to go back to basics. Great video!
Thanks so much!
I enjoyed this one as well. The Hobo ways I find very interesting. Unfortunately they are often misunderstood as a tramp.
Or misunderstood as a bum. Thank you for watching!
The hobo heater vid is why I subscribed. Just getting started watching all of these, but so far I'm loving all of the great bushcraft ideas!
Thank you so much, glad you like the channel and welcome aboard!
I started using a bandana cloth when I ran out of coffee filters, it's a little bulky to get in the machine but it works perfect. My wife got me a $1 reusable filter to use instead of the cloth, sadly it doesn't keep tight and I end up with grounds in the coffee.
I really like this teabag Idea with the cloth, might try that next time I'm out in the woods.
Take care!
Thank you for watching and glad you found it useful!
@@WayPointSurvival real hobo coffee is made from partially dried raccoon droppings and cigarette butts
AWESOME! Thanks for this, James!
Also, you could probably upload a second copy of this video with the title "how to grind coffee in the woods" because I never even thought it could be done! :-)
All the best!
Thank you so much, yes, that would be another alternative title for this video!
you can also put your beans in a cloth, put that on a rock or a wooden log and beat it with your shoe heel ;)
If you want to be efficient put the grounds in the water and let them boil freely together. Then tie your cloth around your cup and once the water is boiling pour the boiling water and coffee grounds into the cloth and let it filter the coffee into.your cup. You can ever squeeze out every last drop. Love your videos bro. Thank you!
Thank you for watching! Glad you're enjoying the channel.
I always put the gound coffee right in the water. Remove from heat when done. Drop a little cold water on top to settle the grounds. That's why the cowboy always throws the last bit from his cup onto the fire. lol
Yes, that's another way to do it.
Ahhh! Had to make a coffee for this one! This is way cool way point! I can't count the times I have or heard of people heading out and forgetting coffee filters! And the special name hobo coffee!!!! LMAO!!!!!!!! This is fantastic! Love it. Another academy award winning video! GOD BLESS YOU!
Thank you so much, and God bless you too!
You have one of the best channels I've found on the internet. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
My father traveled all over the western USA when he was young man, probably the greatest adventure in his life, he would tell us stories about his train days and hoboing around, he told us of the hobo camps and the common pot, going hungry at times riding over the Rocky mountains sitting on s Caterpillar tractor on a flat car. Hot put in jail a couple times , got throwed off a moving train by a railroad dick. Hard times but made great memories, dont know if l could be that tough and strong. Thanks for your wonder channel, l just wish dad was around to watch it.
Another great video. Really enjoy the hobo series. When I was researching the history of some areas I lived in, I found a few news articles of hobo activity around the towns. Interesting reads.
Thank you, they are indeed a fascinating people.
Hi from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing your thoughts and adventures in camping different time period
Thank you for watching!
That was great! Please keep making these videos. That looks like fun way too make coffee.
It goes against all those high dollar products too.
Thank you so much!
Great hobo series so far.
Thank you so much!
Really enjoying the Hobo series! Thank you James, God Bless.
Thank you for watching and God bless you too!
Almost everyone's favorite subject, COFFEE! We are heading out for a family get-together at Mother-in-laws. Our oldest living uncle who has not been doing well recently will be present. I had the items packed, before watching this video, for coffee and a few treats Uncle A loves. Now I am doubly sure I have chosen to bring what Uncle will enjoy!
Loved the video, as usual. I just wanted to let you know that the ferro rod and striker came in today and I was thrilled and surprised at the size. I am so very pleased, thank you.
Excellent! So glad that you like it. It's rated for 12,000 strikes.
I can't wait to try it. I've never been camping, but stocking up on gear and learning a lot from your videos.
I like the improvised "hobo mortar and pestle"
Thank you!
James , good video , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Thank you for watching, God bless you too!
Great idea.
More grinding time (finer grounds) results in less boiling time, and of course, stronger coffee.
Thanks for your channel, really enjoy it, Brother. God bless!
Thanks so much and God bless you too!
That’s incredible. I make pour over coffee on the stove with a plastic filter but I never thought of using a cloth as a filter. I bet that is such a good boost to morale.
I’ll have to try this. It seems like a nice alternative to doing it the cowboy way which is delicious.
I love simple survival knowledge, if it worked in those days, it will surely work today, thankyou for the great video👍
You're welcome!
THAT IS GREAT!! no grinder necessary for fresh outstanding coffee BIG thank you James God bless!!😁✌💚
You are most welcome and thank you for watching!
Great video, I use a coffee filter tied with cotton string like a tea bag.
Thank you so much!
I carry small mesh bags for making coffee ☕ you can put in the billy can when the water's boiled, about 2 minutes after is better, I then let it steep. 😉 other times when I need rest I use a coffee sachet and drink quick to get on, particularly if I'm stealth camping and the smell of real coffee would attract attention. Pack, #leavenotrace and go.
Great job James...now I want to go out and have a cup of fresh coffee! Take care...Robin
Excellent! It really is a fun way to make a cup of coffee!
This looks like real fun.
I might have to find me some coffee beans and do this.
Go for it!
My Dad is a retired CSX engineer. When i was a kid, I’m 43, in the late 80’s i got to take a couple illegal rides with him. Southern WV, VA area. When i was really little the trains still had a caboose, with a crew of men that looked like they worked in the mines. Those are great memories and this video makes me want to hop a train. Im going rifle hunting in the hills of Southern WV tomorrow above the New River. There are still trains that travel the the other side of the river and i will likely hear that train whistle in the morning. Im going to use this coffee recipe on my primus stove tomorrow . God Bless and God speed in all your journeys .
Thank you so much for watching and for sharing a little of your story! May God bless you and yours as well!
I worked for the railroad almost 40 years. I loved the cabooses...
Hated when they replaced them EOTDs.
Your “grinding stick” (pestle) also makes a very good weapon for in close fighting. Held in a closed fist, with an inch or so jutting out on each side, can deliver blows raking across face and throat, and direct blows to groin, solar plexus, jugular veins, eyes, ears, etc.
Not all hoboes were gentlemen. Some needed to be retrained from time to time. The human animal isn’t always like Mother Theresa. He’s sometimes like Al Capone.

Very true! I'm sure there was some pretty interesting brawls that took place in those camps from time to time. And some of them may have just been for fun!
James is a good person he has tought me a lot I like his hobo coffee he makes great videos and even prayers over his food how cool is that thank you James god bless you and your family again thank you
I enjoy your videos so much. Another option is putting the coffee in the can and boil it, then strain it through the cloth onto your cup. Guess that’s more of Cowboy coffee, but it works.
Very true!
Turkish coffee could have been stronger and overall faster with less clean up. It only takes a couple minutes for the grinds to drop.
Yes, but I wanted to demonstrate how to grind it as well as how to use the handkerchief as the filter.
@@WayPointSurvival Your video was great BTW. Not many Americans have exposure to the Turkish coffee style and would be less appreciated. So I think just having a caveat as a comment is the proper place for this.
Great way to make coffee on the fly love it.
Thanks!
Nice video. U can put the coffee straight n2 the water, let it boil for 5 mins, then pour a SMALL amount of cold water on top. The cold water will sink any unused grounds 2 the bottom, & won't drop the temp of boiling water enough 2 hurt it. But, nice video. I enjoy all u put out. Thanks 4 all ur info
Yes, and that is called cowboy coffee. However, I wanted to show the way that you could do it using a handkerchief as a coffee filter.
I learned something new today. In fact, this method will be my new standard coffee making practice for camping.
Excellent, thanks for watching!
It's not nearly as romantically nostalgic...but Folgers makes single serving size coffee bags, like a tea bag. Works pretty well.
I didn’t have a lot of manly influence in my life growing up.your videos make me feel like I didn’t miss out on quite as much😊thanks for the awesome videos.
Thank you so very much! I really appreciate the kind words.
Um good coffee! Thank you for the demo! Have a Great Day!
Thank you for watching!
The Ethiopians have a coffee ritual that involve the same technique only the ground coffee beans are kept inside the pot with no packet and the pieces just fall down, first serving is the first boil, the coffee will taste a bit watery, then they reboil with fresh water and each boil the coffee gets darker and stronger. I suggest using the bandana on your cup as a filter when you pour the coffee so pieces wont fall into it since you don't have a coffee pot but a can. but I'd say teabagging the coffee like that is keeping the coffee from releasing its essence.
EDIT: After reading like 4 comments I have learned I'm saying nothing new :)
You can also use a can, or a mini paint can and put denatured alcohol or yellow bottle heet inside the brick with carbon felt. No soot with these fuels. Have a hole in the middle of the min paint can or a regular can so that can be used as a simmer ring.
Yes, you can do that. However I would not recommend using the yellow bottle heet as there are toxic byproducts in the fuel and the fumes from the fuel additives for gasoline. Denatured alcohol is meant for stoves and is a much safer alternative.
When I learned to do that cans were just tin cans. Grounds were tossed in the water. You could wait a let it settle or sprinkle some cold water on top. I liked the rag idea.
Yes, that would be more in line with what is commonly called cowboy coffee.
I just found your videos and this is the 2nd one and I love them already😁 thanks
Thank you so much, glad you are enjoying the channel!
Great video, thanks! It does make me think of a famous quote.
If this is coffee, please bring me some tea; but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee. - Abraham Lincoln
Well said!
You might want to check out this video showing Jack Hargreaves. The show was called Old Country and he talks about and demonstrates how things were done when he was a child. In this episode he talks about all manner of sticks and how there were used, from ratting stick to toasting forks to bindle sticks. The design of the bindle stick he shows makes a lot of sense.
forgot the link LOL th-cam.com/video/Gt7r2iMYqnI/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much, I'll have to check that out.
For grinding the beans, you can also put your coffee beans in a cloth, put that on a rock or a wooden log and beat it with your shoe heel ;)
Yes, that would be another way to get it done!
Your “coffee packet” is a very good idea. A clean, cloth bag - say, a CLEAN sock? - would work well. Then, for more coffee, we “Wabash the used grounds” by just adding some new ones atop them.

Absolutely!
We should ask James Hoffman to research the best way to make hobo coffee. It’s so interesting.
Looks good James. Take care.
Outstanding 👍 as always 💯🏆
Thank you for watching!
A cup of coffee is great on a cold day but I've found it a lot easier to make a strong cup of Yorkshire black tea when I'm in the field.
Thanks for watching!
Great video. I wonder how long those cooking cans last before they leak around the bottom seal. I guess you could always make another one easy enough. Look forward to seeing the next video.
Quite a while. Of course, you could easily transfer it to a tin can by simply melting it. Thank you for watching.
Excellent source of containers of n trash cans and affordable 😁😊
Thanks man!
Wonderful amazing it was really fun to watch
Thank you for watching!
I make it cowboy style. No filter. Put in cold water then grounds on top. Bring to boil. Take it off as soon as rolls. Put back on. Do the same. Sprinkle cold water, to settle grounds. I do like your site.
Yes, that's definitely another way to get it done!
He's a great instructor.
Thank you so much!
So simple, how did I not think of this to grind coffee 😂
Thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked it!
Try using a small poke bag, it helps serving as a coffee filter bag
Thanks for the video. Very interesting and educational.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for doing the coffee video.
Thank you for watching!
Rather than use the handkerchief. You can put the coffee grounds directly into the water. Bring it to a boil a couple of times. Let it set then. Pour a little bit of cold water into the coffee mixture. Wait a couple of minutes then all of the coffee grounds will fall to the bottom. This is how cowboy coffee is made.
Sure, you can do that. Hobo's would also use a sock to filter their coffee in.
Really enjoy the hobo series…..reminds me of the stuff I did when I was very young…
Great, thanks for watching! Also, I'm always open to ideas to showcase on the channel if you have any interesting tips or techniques that you want to share.
Great history but also really useful stuff! New sub
Thank you so much and welcome aboard!
I'm not sure how many did but from what my grandfather taught me many hobos also had a hand made steeping bag made of a flour cotton bag material. One flour bag would make a good number of bags this would give them some bartering tools. because a well made steeping bag would last a long time and had a multitude of uses. I make them to this day for camping. And carried them while I was active duty Army in Iraq so I could have coffee when ever I wanted. with the canteen stove and cup.
Excellent idea!
I think it’s a good idea to carry the stick for the pestle because it wouldn’t be wise to try and acquire a new one each morning. It’s the perfect size. Plus, it could be used as a baton for cutting firewood with the knife.
You really don't want to be getting your bindle wet with coffee every morning. A cloth filter is a great idea, just carry something specifically for this purpose.
Sure. Just wanted to demonstrate some of the multi-purpose uses of the bindle. Thank you for watching.
When pouring several cups, line up the empties and pour straight across the row and back again. That way the grounds on the bottom don't agitate between cups and the last guy doesn't get all the grounds and silt.
Good idea. Thank you for putting this in the comment section and for watching the video!
i have another way i learned in the philippines. grind it up and put the coffee in the water, heat it and filter it through the cloth into your cup. i carry a little linen bag for coffee.
Great tip!
I like your Hobo/ homeless stove/ heater to, 1/2 corner block, fuel & gas stove burner grate. They're perfect for all types of camping
James, I really enjoyed this video. I like how you get into the hobo character. Alan R.
Thank you so much!
Don't have to use your bindle cloth. Put the coffee directly into the boiling water the add a teaspoon of cool water when it's brewed to drop the grounds.
Yes, that is commonly known as cowboy coffee!
Thanks for sharing this video. Very enlightening.
Thank you for watching.
Great video. Now I need to start looking for metal spice cans.
Thank you, I got mine off of Etsy.
On the road, a simple cup of coffee could be a great source of comfort!
Very true!
Excellent as always. Much appreciated! Love and blessings from Ontario Canada!
Thank you so much!
Love this channel
Hobo series rocks!
Thanks!
Makes a lot of sense to do it this way especially if you don’t have any modern contrivances!😂 I can see why they would carry whole coffee beans in order to keep their kit less messy. I’ve accidentally spilled plenty of coffee grounds in my day and it always makes a huge mess! I have always been interested in Hobos and Tramps since I was a kid growing up in Louisiana in the 60s and 70s. A few would hang out along the levee by the railroad tracks. Just watched a couple of videos about them recently but never understood the difference between Hobo and Tramp! In the videos each side would argue that the other was lazy and never looked for work, plus both sides claimed the other side were alcoholics.😅 I did see that after the civil war, soldiers who were used to walking, would walk town to town in order to find work, so they called them Tramps due to all the long walks they made and Hobos just stuck to the railway lines. Please correct me if I’m wrong? Great video!😊
Thanks. The difference between a hobo and a tramp is that a tramp will only work if forced to and a hobo travels and looks for work deliberately. They did not like each other and generally wouldn't even camp together if they could help it.
Cool video and neat way to ground the beans. It seems a waste to put the grounds in the rag though. Your rag gets dirty, if it wasn't already and wet. Now you have to dry it...
Turkish coffee is made by just adding the grounds to boiling water. No need to filter, the grounds just sink in 1 min after you take it off the heat.
Sure, that's another way to do it!
