How to Make Cowboy Coffee on a Covered Wagon

I, Bernie Harberts, did not use generative AI to write or illustrate this article. Spell check and grammar check, yes. AI, no.

Do you feel like Mr Coffee is taking too long to do his thing? This week I rigged up my wood stove on the covered wagon I’m taking on my next ramble with PBS North Carolina. Climb aboard for a cup of cowboy coffee straight off the covered wagon’s wood stove.

Get a Copy of my New Book Two Mules to Triumph

Want some adventurous fare to go with your wagon coffee? If you haven’t already purchased my new book, Two Mules to Triumph, or you enjoyed it so much that you’d like to buy a copy for a friend, here’s how to get a copy.

Two Mules to Triumph is my new book about riding my imperfect mules, Brick and Cracker, 2,300 miles from North Carolina to visit my brother-in-law in Idaho. It is a message of encouragement that things don’t have to be perfect to set off on your dreams and that our nation is not as divided as many fear it is.

In addition to being a great travel adventure, Two Mules to Triumph includes over 140 photos, maps, and sketches, as well as a section containing gear photos and a comprehensive packing list for anyone interested in embarking on a saddle voyage, whether it’s an overnight trail ride or a Long Ride covering thousands of miles.
