Making a Good Pot of Campfire Coffee 

Came here for the coffee, ended up with a whole new look at life that is now making me re-think my entire life. Definitely subscribing.

Every time I listen to Dwayne my stress level goes down and I'm cool the rest of day keep up the good works

I'm 65. I slowed down 15 year ago. Slowing down and a few blessings is how I've made it to 65.....happier than ever.

Wife and I started out together very poor. One of the first things we bought was a percolating coffee pot. Made the best coffee and we still have it after 28 yrs.

Slow down wait a minute is the best damn advise in life. Patience is the key to a happy relaxed life.

The last half of video speech is 💯. This guy is aware of how fake the world has become. Respect!

I feel relaxed simply watching this man make coffee, smoke a fat one and tell us to just chill. Needed that.

I’m a city boy from Akron Ohio and I love this channel! I’m a school teacher and I spend my summers “slowing down”. It’s so fun. Garden, French press coffee, then around noon I switch to beer. Work in the yard, play some music, nap. Repeat! God Bless America!

Two cups of good coffee served in mismatched mugs off a cinder block. Perfect! Keep up the good work. 👍

I have that same coffee pot in my camper I have had for over 25 years. Guy I used to Elk Hunt with got it for me. Ed passed awhile back. While at his elk camp, he had some rules. You leave your problems at the gate to get up here. You dont badmouth or bitch at his camp about people. Coffee is made in a peculator, not a machine. And most of all, you leave his camp a better person. Watching these videos remind me of Ed

I would get up at 3am, fill my french press with water. Microwave for 5 minutes while brushing my teeth. Grind up some good whole bean. Set up my press. Take shower, get dressed. My coffee has been brewing all the while. Press and go. Sipping some strong brew easing down the road. I'm retired now. Same routine but now my doggy (big black German Shepherd) gets me up every day about 7 or 8. Best alarm clock in the world. lol

The best advice a guy I used to date gave me, was to slow down. To be patient and learn to wait. 1 of the best peices of advice I was ever given.

I came in to make coffee, I came out learning a life lesson. I appreciate this, sir. Thank you…

"Customize your life"- I love that and it’s so true. If you want to control your anxiety and your stress, slow down. That’s what I’ve been doing for several years and it works great, but I still get caught in the ways of the conditioned thinking, but I’m aware of that right away and I stop…and slow down. I get up at 4:30 am everyday (including weekends) and I have a routine that it’s enjoyable and don’t require rushing. I get up, feed my cats, brew my coffee ( similar to Dwayne’s way) enjoy my cup of coffee, do the bathroom thing, take a shower and do everything in the NOW. I’m not thinking about work, I’m not thinking about how much work I have to do today, I don’t care nor think about it, those thoughts aren’t allowed in my brain. I simply enjoy the moment with a soothing instrumental music in the background while I do my routine. That’s my meditation method, stay in the present moment because that’s where I live. I don’t live an hour away from now. I live right now. I do this all the way until I get to work at 6:30 am ( I don’t have to be there until 7:30am, though) I get there and begin my day preparing what’s to be delivered that day. I’m in logistics, so by the time employees start arriving, I have everything ready and we open for business. And I try my best to stay in the present and do things following steps I developed in order to reduce stress in employees and customers. We don’t jump from 1 to 5. To get to 5 you have to go through 2, 3 and 4 and this makes the day at work more enjoyable. I love watching Dwayne’s videos. He uses every second of every one of his videos to say something interesting and helpful. That’s very valuable. Stay present my friends.

Dwayne is a modern day prophet. I could listen to him for hours. He has a fabulous voice and his philosophy on life is compelling. Bet his coffee is damned good, too!

Gave my grandpa a Mr. Coffee years ago went to see him the next weekend, it was sitting up high on a shelf in the kitchen, could tell it was used (once), I asked him why it wasn't on the counter. He only had a few words for me. "I don't drink instant coffee either". Always made his coffee in a coffee pot or peculator, pure grounds and time and patients. Rethought my future gifts. Grampa was always about quality and time. "If your going to do some thing take your time and do it right or don't do it at all" Your Canadian Friend and Fan

I really appreciated when Dewayne talked about checking out 'Yellowstone' from the library, hearing it'd mirror his way of life and appeal to him, only to find it's just Hollywood's glitzy take with no resemblance. It's a cool reminder of how real life, with its genuine, custom-made moments, often beats those scripted versions we see on screen. It's neat how he encourages us to seek out the authentic stuff over the flashy but fake. Thank you for the reminder to slow down. Keep the gold coming, Dewayne

The world would be a better place with more teachers like this!

A good coffee and a cigar is the best to remind you of a simple life. Time to SLOW down and truly enjoy life.

I havent watched televisuon in over 10 yrs. Completely opened my life.

My friends and I go camping about 4 times a year, usually on a friends land sometimes at a hunting lodge (yeah, not really "camping" but no cell or wifi or stoves). First one up is responsible to get coffee going (usually me). Nice sitting by a creek, perc in the coals, peace and quiet. Once everyone is up, we all get breakfast going (about 6 or 8 of us), more coffee made, games (and liquor) come out, then dinner. Life is simple, when you decide it should be!

Best coffee experience for me was my percolator over a fire in the Wasatch Mtns with plain old Folgers in the 1960s. Now I am a geezer and we grind our coffee fresh every morning from fresh roasted beans from Bisbee AZ's Old Bisbee roasters, delivered by mail weekly. No better coffee, but the experience is not so magical as that old campfire coffee. When we go up the mountain and combine the two, heaven is close at hand. I am greatful for Dewayne's simple approach to life.

Finally! A simple man with simple yet powerful message more folks need to hear. I've been of this mindset all my 65 years. And thanks for showing folks denim ain't dead. Plus, good coffee and a fine cigar in the Hill Country! "It don't get no better!"

"You gotta find ways in your life to slow down" Amen! Especially when you're camp'n.❤

"Life is yours, make it a good" best advice I have heard

I'm really starting to like hearing this guy's voice. It's so soothing and relaxing.

It just goes to show if you slow down, you can get more enjoyment out of things. Put the phone down, put the remote down, get outside, start living.

Life is like a cup of coffee it’s as good as you make it

Age and common sense = wisdom. I use an old drip pot and Community dark roast, perfection.

Respectfully sir , we are all watching you on a glass screen . So , if you are saying we shouldnt resort to a glass screen to entertain ourselves , then , should we not be watching you ? I love this channel , there is no turning back . It's too damn good to stop watching . Keep em coming !

I thought that I was the only guy on the planet who didn’t like Yellowstone! Thanks for the video.✌️

Sir, THANK YOU for reminding me to slow down and enjoy the quiet moments. I TRULY need to slow down and enjoy my coffee rather than gulp it down and hurry to the next thing

Great video! I hate when I see people needlessly covering their coffee pots and pans with blackened soot because they cook on "flames of a wood fire". Always cook on "hot coals", never flames! BTW, percolator coffee pots have been around since the 1800s, so I'm pretty sure the true Cowboys and Vaqueros also brewed their coffee in percolators/coffee pots directly on the coals.

I remember way back when everyone had a percolator. When that thing got cranking, it would fill up the entire house with that angelic coffee smell. At my Grandpa's house I noticed that he would pour some of the steaming hot coffee in the saucer, blow on it for a second and either drink it right from the saucer or dump it back into the cup. At my tender age, I didn't realize that after the percolator is done, that's some scalding hot coffee. To this day, I want my coffee sipping hot, not luke warm that you get in a restaurant. Nice job on the video!

I believe everything you said between 6:00 to 10:55 is the cure for depression

If this man did audio recordings for books id have listened to every one by now.

I feel like you are my uncle giving me sage advice on horses and life. Thanks for sharing your life with us!

Thank you Dwayne for teaching us all how to be men.

As the wind blows, the grass grows and the sky is blue. Slow down and notice. Good advice Dwayne, I'm with ya on this one.

7:10 "You're life will be so much better if you just... slow down". Love it.

Words of wisdom is all i can say. Born in 67 so Im in between the new and the old but every day I turn on the tv, I know which direction I want to head for. I dont care if Brittany has a meltdown in a hotel room or any other stupid hollywood stuff. I care about where im heading and how to spend my next 30 years god willing. This whole world needs to slow down, let the coffee brew, chat it up with your neighbors in the meantime, spend a saturday fishing in a creek even if you dont catch something. America isnt doomed, we just have our prioroties screwed up, this country is strong but its heading down a path that wont allow people to enjoy the 80 some years they have on earth, at least not how our forefathers did. Today is all about 'i want it now', relax, slow down. Anyhow I came here for the coffee, I left with a few words of wisdom that hit deep and couldnt be any truer. Btw, that coffee looked delicious. Subscribed by the time you hit that stogie.

You’re my kind of people. The world would definitely benefit from slowing down and doing things in a more collected and wholesome manner. There’s no substitute for a good pipe/cigar and a hot cup of coffee in the morning. Life is yours. Good stuff, brother!

I have consumed a lot of coffee in my life but the one most memorable was with my mom in 1983. We had just purchased some acreage near Chevron Canyon, Az and took a ride to check out the area. At midday I built a small fire and brewed some coffee similar to what you did in a pot like yours. While sitting in the shade we ate and drank coffee on our property for the first time. I have never had a better cup of coffee. Along with the aroma of the coffee there was the smell of the pinion pines, crows making noise and a nice breeze. Mom and I shared a lot of coffee and whiskey over the years but that day remains a treasured memory.

I'm with that life is crazy.. slow down relax back to the basics and enjoy the little things that mean something to us.

I just found a kindred spirit! Enjoy life, bring back the fine art of porch sitting!!!

Sir, you are as much a philosopher as a cowboy. Thank you for all your insights and wisdom as well as the instructive tutorials. Blessings to you and your family.

Many people live as sheep: docked, dipped, and wethered. Slowing down is great advice. Let's us chew the grass slowly and enjoy the sunshine. If you gotta be a sheep, then be free-range, relaxed, and proud. God Bless!

I’m an old retired cop with a new motto “Slow down, Relax” I love it!!! I got my cigars, now I need a percolator!!!!

I love the coffee tips but I love the chat even more. Thanks for sharing some wisdom with us

I've got a college degree in the area of psychology and I have to admit to you are a natural human psychologist. SLOW DOWN is the best advice in this modern world.

This guy is the definition of a real man.

I agree slow down I've been preaching this also , I'm a mountain man reenactment lover and I carry it over in my real life. Here's to u my friend coffee ☕ time .

Using coffee as a platform to spit the truth. I respect it!

Yessir, great video. I hardly any TV other then old westerns on GRIT. I enjoy a good cigar and camp fire or cowboy coffee and relaxing.

“Customize your life.” Gold!

Glad to see another good ol Southern boy bringing back the old days. Enjoy your videos brother.

I like your way of thinking i am 65 retired commercial construction supt. Now that i am retired i had a hard time slowing down till i screwed up my back just had surgery now i have to slow down. thanks for your videos the world needs to listen

Forget Yellowstone, YOU need your own TV show. So much sage wisdom in these videos. Hope you get that land in TN, that's where I live. I'd love to have a cup of coffee around a campfire with you cowboy

Wrangler Blue Jeans the best camping campfire clothing item!! Nice jeans bud

Sharing coffee time with you today was a great pleasure for me. I have a nice percolator like yours. My parents gave me and my two sisters each one as a gift. The adaptability is wonderful. Enjoyed the great ‘slow down’ advice, too.

My grandparents made coffee like this but on the stove. 20 yrs ago I started doing the same. Makes the best coffee.

What I wouldn't give to bail on school and come hang out with this guy. The wisdom is always appreciated.

Hubby and I do coffee up in a percolator when we are winding down and I'll toss a tablespoon of Christmas spices every once in a while , especially in the winter time , we quite often turn the lights off and put our oil lamps on and listen to old radio shows from the 40's , he'll be listening and I'll be quilting , sometimes yahtzee by lamplight 😁

I love that big red coffee container, looks very charming.

Going through Yellowstone episodes and showing where they got the cowboy wrong would be interesting to watch.

Without evening knowing it I bought that same percolator last week (Coletti Bozeman). Man oh man does that thing make a fine cup of coffee! Been a while since I’ve used one, but 4 minutes was the trick, Thanks!

Wild West Wisdom at its best. I think it was either Mark Twain or Will Rogers who said, "It doesn't take a lot of words to speak the truth." Thank you Dwayne for speaking truth in these crazy times. People want to "Make America Great Again." Well.....Dwayne is steering us toward True North. 🇺🇸 I come from a military family; My Grandpa Joe flew in WW I, my Uncle John flew in WW II, and my Dad Jim flew in Vietnam. They've all 🎖🎖🎖"Flown West" (R.I.P.) but if they were still here, I know they'd be watching this channel with me. 🙏God Bless you Dwayne, & God Bless America. 🇺🇸

I roast my own beans and brew in a French press. I’m used to my coffee taking time. It’s worth it. It’s my time to slow down and relax. Same with how I shave. I use a straight razor. The extra few minutes it takes to make a lather and strop the razor is quiet time for me. A great way to start the day off right. Thanks for the wisdom, Sir.

My brother uses a percolator when we go camping, and it's so good. Thanks for the talk, Dwayne.

I am not saying Dewayne is God, but your voice of reason is similar to reading scripture to start the day. It puts some calm and peace back in our soul.

"Life is yours, make it a good one." Love it brother, the little things in life are the most fulfilling...

A percolator is my go-to when camping for sure. I grew up with one doing it's thing every morning.

Completely correct about slowing down; we all have become a sheep. Thanks for your videos sir, Texan here myself. God bless

🙌🏻 Finally someone else who doesn’t like Yellowstone. I made the mistake of buying it. Didn’t even unwrap the second dvd. Great talk. So glad we found your channel tonight. God bless!

This channel is a treasure I just found today. ✨ Great advice. We all need to unplug and detach from this ‘assembly line’. God bless 🤗

Not only do you make good coffee you are also a Great Philosopher. I liked your take on "Yellowstone".

I've got a coffee pot just like yours, and make my coffee just like you do when camping. Great message too--I'm sold. Love it.

Glad to see there is someone else who thinks like me.....a few years ago I sat in a mall while my wife was shopping and I decided to watch people like I used to do.....after about 10 minutes I realized I don't like people watching anymore.... Everyone had a look on their face like they were waiting for someone else to tell them what to do next.....I had to leave that mall quick at that point.

You are so right!!! “”Lord, Mr. Ford, what have you done?” - Jerry Reed

I could listen to this guy talk all day

Great video! There's nothing like a good cigar and campfire/cowboy coffee!

I stumbled across your channel and so glad i did. It so nice to find someone who thinks like you! I like how you view life and your wisdom and willingness to teach what you know. I don’t watch TV any more I usually just watch down to earth people on RU-vid. I also use a percolator. I get my coffee ready the night before and than just plug it in in the morning. I also have a percolator that you can use on the stove or camp fire. There is nothing like percolator coffee!

Man. I like this guy. I think my brain just broke.

This guy knows whats up. A nice cigar and some coffee👍 weed and coffee is really good too

Please just for the record as someone who has worked in restaurants for more than 20 years. Do not put eggshells anywhere near your mouth or anything you're going to consume. Only if they are completely sanitized are they safe to be used for anything that might be consumable. Eggshells are the number one thing that carry salmonella. I've had multiple high-end chefs tell me that. other than that one statement though per usual you are an amazing person!

I think folks always confuse a western accent for a southern accent, this man's voice should clearly define the difference lol

Man, that's probably the best advice I've heard in a long time. Slow down, life is yours. Make it a good one.

Yes, coffee made like this on a family camping holiday, on the camp fire in the New Forest, England 50 years ago, Now camping is very restricted.....

Nothing is truer than what I just watched. God bless you

Really appreciate hearing your philosophies on life. Lotta wisdom behind that mustache, man. I'm from Texas, and your voice and mannerisms remind me so much of one of my uncles. Love this man. 👍 I love you, man! 😄

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Simplicity is a beautiful gift 🙏🏽♥️

Customize Our Coffee and Our Lives ! What a great Video and Once again a great message. It is our life and I believe God wants Us to find the Joy in it . You are right about a hurried life . Keep this message going 😇

Dwyane I'm not much into cigars and not much into coffee but I sure like your style. Live well mate. From Australia.

I love your good old fashioned common sense. I took a couple of old friends out back, made a simple camp fire and coffee. Took out my barlow jackknife and started whittling. My friends said, It's been over 40yrs. since we did this. I made a gift of the extra old school barlows I got for each of them. We all hade the best time (remember whening) and catching up on everything else. The simple thing fall by the wayside fare to often. Thank you for all the work it take to make your videos. God bless.

sir throwing straight facts upon this highly industrialized world later in this video. Man's not a machine.

Came here for coffee left with more than I expected. Appreciate it.

I Know how to bushcraft, Camp and cook in the wilderness, and of course make coffe. But I really enjoy watching you do it in a great place when I'm stuck in the city and can't. Thank you. It's a calming thing that brings me back to where I need to be.

I like you. I'm buying myself a camping coffee percolator. I love the message too. Slow, quiet mornings with a delicious cup of coffee are my favorite.

You remind me of my uncle, God rest his soul. It's nice to hear a similar lesson to what he'd give me when I was a kid. Thanks for the videos!

My wife and I love our percolator coffee pot... it was my grandpas and your right live your own life and we don't care what other people think God bless.
