Pour the water in the coffee pot before bed. Heat the pot and make coffee in the morning. A block of wood sitting beside the fire thaws out a case of beer and water bottles!! Nothing worse that coming back to a frozen slushy beer at the end of a long hard day. Camp by a stream for running water. I'm still learning too at 60.
The challenge of retirement is how to spend time without spending money.
The worst day slinging lead is still better than the best day working.
Look around is there someone you can introduce to shooting because that’s the only way we will buck the anti gun trend sweeping Canada! "tigrr 2006"

hunting -25c we put water in some pots before it was all frozen and just thawed it out on the stove in the morning to make coffee.

backpackers tip: boil water at night and put in Nalgene water bottles. Use these as foot warmers in sleeping bag wrapped in long underwear. In the morning, undies are warm and water has cooled for drinking or reboiling for coffee, etc.

I dont know if this will work but came to me if it is small water bottles how about taking some wool socks and putting the water bottles in the wool socks.
Nothing is like climbing a mountain, and then feeling like you are at the top of the world.

I find a 50/50 mix of water/vodka works well.

hot (but not too hot) rocks in a metal pot in a cooler you don't care about

That water bottle in a wool sock in the bottom of my sleeping bag sounds kind of interesting. If you forget to put water in the coffee pot.
I always stay by a stream. Washing, cooking, washing and boiling for coffee is important.

A seasoned veteran! It's amazing what you can come up with if you put a little thought into it, isn't it?Originally Posted by PrecariousPhoto
Everyone is entitled to voicing an opinion, as long as it is a learned one.
The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who are bereft of that gift.
