Exactly what the Wife and I were just talking about! I went downstairs to find the 'old' pot

If you're in Ma, then we need to hook up this summer! Only issue is I'll be up in Canada! LOL!

I will be doing a few dry runs prior to the trip and would be fun to hookup and camp cheap in NH/Vermont. I'll pass my dry Camping experience and you can teach me about the Rpod!

Of course a few smiles/cocktails invoved!

I figure the difference of 70 a day, versus 20 a day, should pay for the various items i'll need to be self reliant, before to long. 

I found several manual K-Cup coffee makers on Amazon

When you are old enough to get a Golden Age Passport, you get into National Parks etc for free, and half price on campgrounds.

I use high quality French roast beans, a good quality stove top perc. (there are a lot of thin cheap ones that don't work very well) and the coffee is fantastic .  If it's cold outside, the stove helps warm as well fill the cabin we a great aroma and when its hot outside I perc out there. So easy, so simple.

We use an old 9 cup percolator on a single burner propane stove, best coffee in the world. Funny my wife had to figure out how to use a percolator, but she did. I used to make campfire coffee 40 years ago when I hunted AZ.

Try National Forests.  Unless posted otherwise, you can camp within 300 ft. of any road for free, generally up to 14 days at a time.  Obviously, you must be completely self-contained.

Many state parks have W/E sites for cheap.. In fact I just made a reservation for a state park in South Carolina next month, 70 foot pull through, W/E, $18 a night. We stay at O'Bannon Woods in southern Indiana every year for a week or so, electric only, for about the same, very nice facilities.
