KARE 11 visits the Recession Vacation Lab

Filed under: Outdoors

Look out nation, the Recession Vacation is blowing up.

Last night we made the TV news. Jana Shortal of KARE 11 came by and had a look around. We gave her our sob story: too broke to get the car out of the garage so we're camping in the backyard.

Oh, and fellow camper and RVRL volunteer Daniel told the story of his outlaw Cub Scout leader. Amazing. They distilled it to the story's essence. You'll see.

Watch the video here.

We were neck deep in the work of the lab--testing camp gear--when they arrived. The Luggable Loo was out. The kitchen sink and the crank blender too. We'll get to all of that stuff when the testing phase is complete. For now, here's a behind-the-scenes peak at the making of a TV news spot on a very slow news day:
