Many people put a teabag or two in their PSKs, for several reasons: making a fire to boil the water to make the tea gives them something to focus on, in addition to being a necessary survival task, etc. But what if you don't really care for tea?

There are now coffee bags - yep, individual coffee packets that look just like teabags but make something much more enjoyable, to some of us! The brand I've tried, Folgers Coffee Singles , packs the coffee bags in individual waterproof mylar pouches, so in addition to getting some fresh coffee, you have a foil bag that can hold about 2 ounces of water, or be used as a fishing lure, for signaling, etc. Sometimes, progress is good!
