A Backpacker's take on the
Bud Commercials...

(brought to you by backpackers that have way too much time on their hands, lol!)


Here's to you, Mr Heavy Weight Hiker, you who shun the notion of ultra light hiking to the real men extreme. As the straps of your pack strain to carry it's 70 lbs of absolutely necessary gear, you smile with the knowledge that you'll feast like a king on Beenie Weenies tonight - from a can, while your sissy friends smear tuna on broken crackers.

So here's to you, a hiker who can no longer stand upright without a pack on, knowing that you're just one massage away from hitting the trail again. Too bad you stink so much from no shower no therapist in their right mind will touch you.

today we salute you mr. 6" cathole digger
(mr. 6" cathole digger)
With your little orange plastic trowel you boldly dig down 6 inches into the soil before you drop your convertible nylon pants
(convertible nylon pants!)
You maneauver around roots and rocks and dig deep down into organic soil
(dig with your little orange trowel!)
And then after you do your business you pack out your TP in double ziplock bags
(LNT!)
so crack open an ice cold bud light oh proper waste disposal person, thanks to you we don't have to see or smell your TP or poo
(Ooooooo!)

Here's to you, Mr. Pennsylvania trail builder.
While other trails have views and vista, you make sure that OUR trails overlook nothing but the dense forest undergrowth.
(Just keep on hiking!)
And while some trails encourage people to keep their heads high and take in the scenery, you make sure that the rocks underfoot keeps the hikers' heads down.
(It's where boots go to die!)
Sure, you could put in a switchback...But a REAL trail goes straight up that 1000 feet of elevation.
(My guts are bursting)
So crack open an ice cold Bud Light, Mr Pennsylvania trail maker.
Because thanks to you, only in Pennsylvania would the drainage ditch be the trail.

Here’s to you Mr Ultra-light Wanker,
(Ooh Mr Ultra-light Wanker…)
While other guys are using their toothbrush, you’re trying to find space to drill just one more hole.
(I know there’s room for more….)
You went from a tent, to a small tent, and now just sleep in a big trash bag, that then you use as your back-pack.
(Yeah, it’s doin’ double duty…)
You’ve made recycling a manufacturing process. Your stove, pot, and cup are all made from Bud Light cans.
(gotta get it lighter….)
So crack open a cold Bud Light, and know that you’ve made “strapless” more than just a fashion statement.
(Mr Strapless Ultra-light Wanker)
