A Twinkie came calling – stories from our camping trips

In an amusing episode of the "Sons of Hitches" podcast, Joel shares a memorable camping story that has since become a cherished tradition. During a camping trip, Joel encountered an unexpected yet comical situation. While gathered around the campfire with friends, a man suddenly emerged from the bushes, much to everyone's surprise. This mysterious figure wasn't there to cause any trouble, but rather, he had a unique culinary trick to share: how to roast a Twinkie.

The man, with an air of expertise, demonstrated the art of perfectly roasting a Twinkie over the campfire, turning this simple snack into a delightful treat. Joel and his friends, initially taken aback by the man's sudden appearance, soon found themselves thoroughly entertained by his enthusiastic demonstration. The group, including the man from the bushes, shared laughs and stories, making the evening an unexpectedly joyous occasion.

This incident left a lasting impression on Joel. It was not just about the roasted Twinkie, which, by his account, was surprisingly delicious, but also about the camaraderie and the spontaneous fun that camping often brings. Ever since that night, roasting Twinkies has become a tradition for Joel and his friends during their camping adventures. It serves as a humorous reminder of the unexpected pleasures and quirky encounters one can experience in the great outdoors. The story is a testament to how a simple, shared moment can turn into a lasting tradition, bringing smiles and laughter to each camping trip.
