The Saddest Weenie Roast Ever
The Saddest Weenie Roast Ever
So when my set of Rolla Roaster camping forks arrived from L..L Bean on the front porch it felt like my destiny was unfolding before me like a whole wheat hot dog bun. I rummaged through the refrigerator and found a pack of organic weenies and headed into the backyard to roast one up. There was only one small problem with my spontaneous weenie roast. I was completely alone--no friends or family in sight. There was no one to share the sizzle with!
My wife had left for book club and the campers were snoozing away in their cribs. Something didnt feel right. I faintly remembered reading a maxim from the Trailer Life Directory that commanded, "though shalt not have a weenie roast alone," but I opened up my package of camping forks and soldiered on anyway. My evening was guaranteed to be emotionally unsatisfying but I wanted to test the product out and get a short review posted for our readers.
So here it is: The Rolla Roasters worked great. They have a telescoping fork that extends out over three feet and they have a knob that allows you to rotate your wiener or marshmallow over the fire. Pure genius! I only stuck one weiner on the end of the fork and I think that sticking two there would definitely cause it to bend. But you could easily fit two marshmellows on each prong.
L.L. Bean sells them here and Rolla Roaster sells them directly from their site here. The worlds most glamourous and powerful people are using these camping forks--for proof please click here! If you want to impress your fellow campers and be the talk of the campground then they are a must have.
These solidly built camping forks are sold in packs of two for a good price, and they are sold in packs of two for a good reason.... I wholeheartedly recommend them for your next family campfire.

The Greatest RV Song Ever
The Greatest RV Song Ever
Looking for some great new music for your next road trip? A few weeks ago I recommended the new James Hunter album, Minute by Minute--which is still on heavy rotation in my house.
My other favorite new album for summer is a debut by the immensely talented country singer Kasey Musgraves. She can sing, she can play guitar and harmonica, and man can she write.
Musgraves is a a great storyteller with a razor sharp wit and a gift for precise imagery and detail. Her best songs are funny, sad, sweet, and satirical--and theyre easy to sing along to.
Ive heard her compared to Miranda Lambert several times but that doesnt tell the whole story--because Lambert doesnt tell such great stories. She definitely has that Lambert bad-girl edge and image but she also has a bit more poetry and soul in her dusty narratives--think Lucinda Williams and Car Wheels on a Gravel Road.
But more importantly, Musgraves may have written the greatest RV song ever. One of the best songs on the album is called "My House" which really should lead off your summer road mix. Its not even June yet but Im declaring this instant classic as our family song for the summer. Im also declaring Kasey Musgraves as the new poet laureate of the RV Tribe because of lyrics like this one:
"Water and electric / and a place to drain the septic / the KOA is A-OK / as long as Im with you. / So come on hitch your wagon / to this livin room Im draggin / If I cant bring you to my house / Ill bring my house to you."
Follow the link below, take a listen, and have a toe-tapping smile on me--then get to work on that road trip playlist.
