However, when traveling in a larger group you have to approach the morning coffee ritual a little differently. For the most part it comes down to two things: quantity and speed. No one likes climbing out of the tent and seeing your buddies enjoy a cup of java by the campfire only to be told there isn’t any left and you’ll have to wait for the next pot.

On a recent trip to Utah we had the pleasure of providing culinary support to a very talented group of outdoor photographers. While we have our coffee routine down pretty solid, we knew we’d have to bring out the big guns for this one as we needed morning coffee in bulk. We needed the big guns. We needed to bring Big Jim!

Big Jim is the affectionate name we gave our larger than life GSI Outdoors Glacier Stainless 36 Cup Percolator. This percolator is big, bold, and ready for some serious camp coffee brewing. He’s a workhorse and built for years of field use. If you’ve ever shopped for a large percolator, you know that 36 cups is pretty stout and about as big as they come. After checking the local outfitters, we ended up purchasing Big Jim through Amazon and with a Prime membership he arrived the next day.

After some heavy field use, we’re pleased to report that the GSI Outdoors percolator performed flawlessly. It does take some time to make a pot of coffee since you’re bringing 36 cups of water to a boil, but it was well worth the wait as the entire group could enjoy coffee at the same time. There are a couple of things to keep in mind if you decided to pick up a Big Jim for yourself.

The first thing to consider is that it’s big. Think about storage space in your vehicle because it measures 11″ x 9.3″ x 11.7″ and we all know that space is at a premium. Secondly, it takes a lot of water to both fill and clean afterwards. If you’re one of those types that is a little haphazard when it comes to supply planning and water rationing, Big Jim may not be for you.

If you have the room and need a large quantity of camp coffee in the morning or after dinner, definitely check out the GSI Outdoors 36 Cup Percolator and consider ordering yourself one. It’s a great product and has quickly become a staple in our camp kitchen. When we last checked Amazon, they run roughly $100 and free shipping is usually included with the price.

Their Cuttin’ Board Treatment is what quickly caught our eye. This specialized blend of food grade mineral oil, cold pressed lemon, and cold pressed red grapefruit is any chef or butcher’s best friend. The citrus fruit essential oils help prevent bacterial growth on the cutting boards while the mineral oil coats the wood to prevent cracking.

Manready Mercantile sells the Cuttin’ Board Treatment in a 8 fluid ounce bottle with a pull tab and cork. While you may not take this with you on the next trip the back country, it would be perfect to use for post trip cleaning and prep before your next big adventure. The Cuttin’ Board Treatment also works great on any chopping blocks or wooden kitchen supplies that you may have at home as well. The bottle retails for $22 and can be ordered directly through the Manready Mercantile website.
