Delish
Once chosen, the Chief Hiking Officer will get paid for hiking the Appalachian Trail through 14 states for half of 2021, starting on March 1. The Chief Hiking Officer will be provided gear, airfare to the starting point, and will have beer parties hosted by Anheuser-Busch along the way. This position also receives a $20,000 stipend. More
I’ll do half of what they ask for half the pay!
Why do you get airfare to the starting point if you are required to be a resident of a state that puts you within a 4 hour drive of a starting point? Oh well, I’m not fluent with social media. Two strikes against me already.
It all sounds like fun until the Chief Hiking Officer staggers off into the woods and is consumed by ticks, mosquitos and all nature of biting insects after one too many trails side parties.
(Speaking as someone that lives too far way to qualify for the position.)
Maybe because you probably can’t or wouldn’t want to leave your car at the starting point of a 2,100 mile trail that takes 6 months to complete.
Memo to Budweiser – get WOKE – Duluth MN is getting rid of the term “Chief” because it’s racist or something even though it comes from Latin by way of French. I know it’s hard but try to keep up. Try to imagine what else will be unacceptable before the hike begins next spring.
I like nature, but then other parts of nature just won’t calm down and let me enjoy it. Mosquitos love me. Do you hear? LOVE ME. Ack.
I have the ‘BEER’ part down to a ‘t’ but that hiking part tends to interfere with the beer part.
Beer & hiking are to never be used in the same sentence. And Anheuser-Busch doesn’t make beer. At least drinkable beer anyway.
No thanks. I’ll just sit and watch ALONE every week.
Lemme tell y’all something. If y’all say you’re hiking the Appalachian Trail, y’all better be hiking and not going to S. America. Trust me.
@Bob:
Quite right! As the old joke goes, what Anheuser-Busch produces is like making love on a boat.
Say, bring me another Yuengling, would you please?
My first attempt at making beer came out very much like a Grolsch, my brother’s favorite beer.
My brother wants more.
@Mark S
I remember that.
Will any of the beer companies in the Pacific NW do the same for someone hiking the Pacific Crest Trail? Who’s left out here Rainier, Olympia beer, maybe Coors or Pabst blue ribbon or Hamms beer (the beer refreshing) to sponsor a beer drinking hike in Bigfoot country. Do they even sell Lucky Lager anymore, I wouldn’t know since I’m not much of a beer drinker.
I can see the lawsuit when the anti-Marlboro man winner has a few too many (like Dr. Tar stated with the side parties) and breaks an ankle, tumbles out of sight and is lost for a couple of days. I’m calling it now.
I prefer sex and travel over drinking and hiking… which may explain why I’ve been told to take a fuk and hike so many times!

He got more exercise in S.America ; trust me.
