That's another self-imposed problem: coffee.
I'm deciding if I want to do pourover or moka pot....or both.

Obviously this won't be the freshest, but by far the most convenient and best use of space if you're backpacking. Otherwise I'd go with a plastic V60 if space isn't that much of an issue

Instant it is!
Joking aside, I’ll need to do some research on single use since it’s not super popular here in the GTA, but I know some good instant coffees do exist from some roasters.
Another challenge I want to overcome is to avoid using disposable fuel canisters, but I’m afraid this may be the most convenient option outside of lugging around a refillable propane tank.

| This is what they look like (this is a pretty good roaster here)
If you can get Japanese groceries, UCC makes them as well, but then you have grocery store coffee (which IMO can be fine). Note that they are dosed for like 180g of water or less! You'll need to use two lol

Depends on how much you want to spend - a Jetboil with a wind guard is the lightest, best option, but a hotpot stove with a cardboard wind guard is way cheaper and works as well, using a butane cartridge that costs less.

Is there no facilities near the track?
If you are camping for a track day, I feel like getting good rest is more important.

Wrong thread but since on the topic I was thinking if I should get a French press, aero press, or just stick with my moka pot. Was thinking which is less work and tastes best

Re: Hot pot stove - I did consider this as it is cheap and will do the job. I might try this out the first time around for the May track weekend and see how it goes before committing to something like a JetBoil or equivalent. Quote:

People who show up with an RV and require power plug-in pay the facility by the hour.
Track weekends with PCA UCR are always back-to-back Saturday and Sunday. I have my camp setup with an air mattress, so all that's left is the cooking part. Quote:

Worst case - instant/one-touch coffee.

you could pull a tear drop trailer but the tow hitch would be additional weight

It was so well engineered, it was discontinued because they never had any failures or returns. Despite the Spec Boxster series, a lot of guys pay big money for this trailer hitch, but Wilwood said enough is enough, we're not making this anymore. One is up for sale from a guy I know in Montreal. I don't know how much more weight I can tow on a Boxster aside from a tire trailer.

I can tell you that a hotpot stove + cardboard wind guard worked well at -15c in Cache Creek, made hot water for tea/coffee (I brought a hand grinder, an Aeropress & gooseneck kettle) and instant noodles. Biggest problem was the water in the gallon jugs freezing on me.

If only they made one. Interestingly enough, they do make a factory roof rack, but they are extremely rare and I don't think are made to hold a roof top tent. Also, I now have a hard top, so that limits my options.
If by facilities, do you mean hotels etc? If yes, they do exist, and are typically 30 - 45 minutes away. One night will typically cost at least 200'ish, sometimes up to $375 to $450 depending on the season.
If you meant on-site facilities like an on-site hotel, CTMP is not that fancy, and the garages are leased by private companies or individuals (aka rich people) so access to them is limited, if nonexistent. You can't even charge your phone if you needed to, which is a big bummer for what they consider themselves a "world-class" track.
People who show up with an RV and require power plug-in pay the facility by the hour.
Track weekends with PCA UCR are always back-to-back Saturday and Sunday. I have my camp setup with an air mattress, so all that's left is the cooking part. | We always brought a hotpot stove, but it's really only good for solo or maybe two ppl use. Once you are outside the effectiveness drops significantly.
Costco has a coleman camping stove for 109.99 right now. Saw it in Richmond today, that would work better as it has a built deflector to prevent wind from blowing your heat away. And it'll be dual burner instead of single.
When I said facilities I mean more like food and hot water from say a cafe while you camp on site. It'll be a lot more efficient, mentally relaxing, and less cleanup required. If you are considering camping I already assumed hotel was more hassle than the convenience it provides.
When I was thinking about rest I was thinking more along the lines of rest. Again costco comes in. They have a 4in insulated single self-inflating foam mattress at the Richmond location today. $99.99. I'm using a 3/4" one from MEC and it's quite good already. We have a queen size 5" mattress that's similar the costco one and it's almost like sleeping in a regular bed. Well worth the investment.
EDIT: They have it online for $10 more (shipping) https://www.costco.ca/sugarlake-gear...000301656.html
And the stove https://www.costco.ca/coleman-gladia...000313015.html | |

Anyone have experience selling something in the USA?
Is it as simple as declaring it when I cross into the US, paying some fee and filling out a form and then the same thing again when I come back to Canada?
Someone from Seattle wants to buy some network gear off me, but is asking if I could meet them in Bellingham or Blaine. He cited visa issues, but it's probably to dodge the duties and taxes.
