Big, starlet sun glasses and a procedure mask sound much easier.

Don’t forget the coffee! Instant stores forever. Such as it is.

Oats for oatmeal cereal will keep for 25 years in an airtight container, if you put an oxygen absorber in with them to prevent oils from going rancid. You can get oxygen absorbers at places like Walmart (the Empire of Evil).

The first sip always tastes like; “Okay, this isn’t bad at all” and then the second sip is “I’m going to throw up”.

Mt Hagen is bearable. But when you have no coffee for a while- whatever is a godsend!

I can sacrifice a lot, but I don’t think I can do instant coffee. I have whole bean regular and decaf in my freezer.
I like your new profile picture.

You are obviously not a true caffeine addict. Instant tastes like ass, but it has caffeine and can keep me functional. Sometimes, that has to be enough. I have Yaupon holly, AKA Ilex vomitoria, in my garden as an emergency caffeine source if things really go tango uniform, but any port in a storm and all.

Thanks.
Wait until you’re constantly grouchy and can’t poop for a few days. Instant will look like manna from heaven!

A few years ago, when I was at the cottage, my camp stove gave up the ghost. After much swearing, I ran cold water over the ground coffee several times, enough to make it strong enough to stave off a migraine. For the rest of my stay, I rigged up a platform, using the grid from the stove and put a kerosene lantern underneath, and a small pan of water on top. It would take about 1/2 an hour to boil water, but it worked. Desperate times.

Not anymore. I weaned myself off of it. I now drink small amounts of very good coffee.

Our Canadian friend may be blissfully unaware of that atrocity.

Never heard of it. Having googled it, it sounds challenging.

This is new to me. I did enjoy the description of “notes of … pencil shavings, old battery rust …”, probably more than I’d enjoy the actual beverage.
