The Moka pot is a naturally great coffee-making method for the outdoors. The entire apparatus consists of three pieces, all made of stainless steel and aluminum, with a polymer handle. It requires no disposable filters or measurement devices. Just fill the basket with ground coffee and fill the reservoir with water to the line. It's that simple. It's also incredibly easy to get a great pot of coffee with even a small heat source.
Once you get the hang of the process, it produces great coffee with no waste other than the grinds. Plus, you can find Moka pots that make as little as one cup or as many as 18 cups at a time. Bialetti is the gold standard of Italian-made Moka pots, and this 18-cup version will keep the entire camp caffeinated with less effort and better coffee than you'll get out of that old enamel percolator.
