The only instant shit I get now is just plain old instant coffee for backpacking, Now my daughter on the other hand is a coffee snob and packs a French press and goes through a huge process making it. By the time she's done I've had three cups and I'm packed and ready to go.
She cuts her toothbrush in half to save weight but packs this: https://snowpeak.com/products/titanium-french-press-cs-111
Not sure if I'm appalled or impressed..
I don't fuck with her too much about the French press because part of the reason that I'm packed and ready to go is that I don't have to fuck around with tent stakes because I pack one of these https://www.rei.com/product/102781/msr-stake-hammer
She mocks me ruthlessly about it, but asks to use it every time.
As a contractor, I love this...tell her to use a rock next time. While she is searching for one, hide her fancy-ass French press in a tree.
You ever use plain nails for stakes? I just use my hatchet as a hammer. I was trying to find suitable stakes for the frozen ground. Nothing else held up.
