I'm examining the image of the mountain man in American history and culture, and part of that includes modern day buckskinning. What I'm interested in is the histories and constitutions/charters of groups to see when they were organized and what influences led to their formation. I am also interested in the formality (or lack of it) that certain groups prescribe to in their activities (how one must dress, speak, or carry themselves in a social rank). I am mostly interested in groups that participate in recreating the Far West fur trade and the Rocky Mountain rendezvous (circa 1800-1840), but any information from groups that portray other facets of the fur trade or frontiering are equally welcome. I would be most appreciative of any information anyone could send my way.

Heat your pan until it is warm and then put enough beans in to almost cover the bottem. Place over the coals and I shake it or you can stir them constantly, don't scorch 'em just keep slowly roasing them until they are VERY dark brown, the will get oiley as well(this is good). Then take 'em and put them in a poke and crush them and make your coffee, you may need to roast more than one pan to get as much as you need.

First you start with green beans (the hard part sometimes). Line the bottom of a small dry skillet with a layer of beans, heat over a fire while rolling them around until well browned, or scorched as the case may be, then smash in small sack or folded cloth as usual to prepare the brew. It seems to take a good few minutes and its like waiting for popcorn to pop except of course there's no popping. The several times I've done it the results were not quite as rich as store-roasted but it worked. Now that I think of it, I wonder if a popcorn basket would work, but we didn't have such a convenience last time I roasted coffee on the trail. I'm told that green beans last for years, whereas pre-roasted are good for a few months (and pre-ground of course goes stale quickly outside of a sealed tin). Happy roasting Yr Ob't S'vt Pilgrim Pat ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Apr 1998 11:41:35 -0700 From: Vic Barkin Subject: Re: MtMan-List: roasting coffee beans Hi Jim, I'll just tag onto what Dennis said. That's how I do it too. One thing I'll add is to keep it over some coals and do a slow roast till they are dark brown, then put them on high heat stirring fast to bring out the oils. pour them into your poke and let cool. for immediate use pound and boil. remember, green beans will keep indefinatly, roasted, a couple of weeks to a couple of years depending on your definition of stale, and ground, a couple of weeks less.

If you want a lifetime supply, or have alot of friends, you can pick up a sack (133lbs) at commodity prices. after freight and everything, you may be paying $2 a pound depending on market conditions. I had a mail order business for a while selling green coffee under the name Green Rio a few years ago. There are others selling it though mags such as Muzzeloader. The pre-eminant variety of the fur trade was Rio so called because it was shipped from the port of Rio DeJanerio. today, you can find the same type of coffee as then under the name Santos and Oro to name a few. When I bought in bulk from Royal, I was surprised to find that much of the Santos I sold under the Green Rio name was actually sold these days....to prisons! Whall hell!
