Hey good morning guys! Today I'm at the Little Lake Creek Wilderness area and we'll be exploring the trails back here. It's a wonderful place to explore. I plan to find a spot to set up my hammock and then use a hobo stove to make egg coffee. I haven't had egg coffee well in quite a few years. Join the adventure! When selecting a stream for drinking water, I'll pick a site where the water is moving. In this case the water is brown because of all the silt in it so I'm going to filter out some of the biggest particles with this cloth. So this is how I do it. Carefully get the water, try not to stir up the silt, then take the cloth over the container and then pour the water into your other container. I made my hobo cooker out of a paint can that I cut the bottom off of and then I put a series of holes in it and then strung wire through the bottom about an inch above the bottom. Today I'm putting charcoal in it because it's been quite rainy out here and I want to really get a hot fired quickly. I'm putting some charcoal in it and a couple pieces of twigs and then I'm going to put it down here and let's see if it gets started. Nothing like self-lighting charcoal. Okay the coals are white so I can put the water on. We'll see how long it takes to boil in this burner. That does it. Well the water heats, bearing the iron going to take a siesta. Aren't we there? Ah. Beard decided to jump out of the hand that while I was sleeping and climb on that little tree I think he's impatient for the water to start boiling. Well bear the water simmering it's about time. I'm going to take about a three tablespoons of coffee that are in here and one egg and break the egg and the mash the egg. Oops. The eggs all smashed. I mix it together and the key to this bear is you mix it all up and the egg and the egg shell sweeten the coffee and also hold it together so that it won't float in the water when I just pour the whole mixture in the water. So I'm going to put you down so I can mix this better. Once it's all mixed up the grounds are all part of the egg mass. Once that's all ready it should be about ready now. Take the lid off. You can see the coffee grounds mixed with the egg and I'm going to screw that up just a little bit and let it go to a rolling boil for about three minutes and then take it off the heat and when it's off of the heat it needs to settle for maybe 15 minutes or so by then it should be cooler and it'll be ready to drink. While the water is heating I'm going to cut an orange in half take out the inside and use this to make orange muffins and these are going to be fantastic. If you've never had orange muffins over a fire you are in for a treat anyway you cut the orange part and then you take out the inside and I'll show you this it's really neat to do really simple. I'm eating the orange out and taking this quick that I mixed with some brown sugar and then I add a little bit of raisins a few raisins to the mixture and mix that all up and I also like to add sunflower seeds. I have a really yummy mixture here then I take that mixture and I spoon it into the orange. I spoon it into the orange mix it up a little bit and I add a little bit of boiled water, clean water, sterilized water. I add the water and then mix this up and when it becomes a nice paste then I put it on the hobo oven the hobo stove and you are going to see some muffins that you wouldn't believe. Put a few more sticks in the oven and it's about time to put the orange in and in a little while in a few minutes we'll have a nice orange muffin. You sure like to watch the fire bear or wonder why your cousin is named Smoky. Let's the coffee looks like it's about ready I'm going to pour it into our cup. Oh that looks good. Oh yummy. Here's one taste and you have the first taste. Yeah you like that tasty. When you have a chance try egg coffee you'll enjoy it. This cup is sort of sweet although no sugars have been added. It is smooth it's not at all acid tasting. It sort of has a wudzy flavor. Now maybe that came from the smoke in the fire that was cooked over or maybe the wudzy flavors because I collected the water from the stream and it's not chlorinated. Anyway it feels wholesome and relaxing and it just it helps me connect to the beauty of being outdoors. Okay bear let's check to see if the muffin's ready. Oh wow that's going to be tasty. Yep just about done. You know the orange rhyme keeps it from burning on the bottom side and makes it nice and juicy inside. Let's first bite and that looks yummy. You would have the first bite there. Mmm not bad. This is so tasty. You've got to make these if you haven't had these before. Wow.
