what product would be best advertized by a thruhiker during a thruhike? what would look good for an add campaign? something that is trying to show its durability im thinking. something they can show over and over as it survives the riggors of a thruhike. would energizer pay me to hike in a bunny suit? im looking to be a shill for the man , in order to hike at any cost.

just sent this to energizer
i am a well known appalachian trail hiker and want to hike in the bunny suit from georgia to maine for an add campaign and so i can eat. im out of work and food. i started a thread on whiteblaze.net titled "thruhiking rabbit?" i belive this is a great idea for you and me.
You need a manager, Matty. Someone with spell-check, who can clean-up your correspondence before you send it.
I work for bacon.

i think the logistics of a rabbit suit you could wear all the way demand two suits. a winter and a summer. of course this deal wont include any free batteries for you all cause that would hurt the outfitters and local buissnesses. as far as the rabbit feet, im thinking those shoes with seperate toe sections will work fine for a moderatly hiker adapted energizer bunny .i belive carrots should be a big part of this.
the gecco suit idea is a bit more involved and might attract bears.
however,.car commercials lend themselves well to the idea. a thruhiker arrives each night to his camp consisting of a different new car each night. a beautiful model opens the door , the stinky dierty hiker , cold and wet, climbs in, turns the key half way and hits the heat full blast as he opens the glove box and grabs a granola bar.he puts his chair in the recline position, sips a big gulp from the cup holder and falls asleep to the beeping of the seat belt alarm.
A fuzzy, pink bunny suit. That ought to spawn some interesting trail names.
Anyway, I bet against it. You won't make it to Neel Gap.
Bunnies are vegetarians. NO BACON!
If Energizer turns you down I would encourage you to wear the bunny suit anyway and jump for joy.
No need to waste a good bunny suit on people who don't understand.

I think you've got a shot. What if in the contract they stated that you had to beat the drum the entire way? I could see that getting tedious. Maybe a drum shaped front back would be close enough for their liking?

What's the brand of honey that comes in a bottle shaped like a bear? Try them. A bear suit would be a riot on the trail.

Matt, one thing you are forgetting. You'll need to carry that drum and bang it all the way to Maine...
Wont have to worry about any bears..Thats for sure..
Or, just dress up as Sasquatch and promote beef jerky.. Have some one pass them out at roadcrossings as you are coming down the trail.. That will be a hoot..

REI...you can carry all the stupid yuppie hiker stuff that they push on the unsuspecting...bear bells, hiker chairs, coffee press, etc, ad naseum. Wait a minute...a few hundred do that anyway every year, ask Winton.

i think we all know full well what the first order of buissness in the board room of the energizer company is this morning.
i bet some beautiful executrix is laying out the plan of attack right now.
and ill bet the old gray hairless ceo's are all pounding the table chaniting ,"hike! hike! hike!" to the young womans proposal fo a new add campaign including a thruhiker.
they prolly got a whole dosea on this matthewski charicture.
their leaning towards useing jester right now. cause of his costume/hiking exsperience.
but they know in their hearts a matthewski will work fine and be less costly. jesters smart and might hold out for more money. whereass mattheski will do it for bacon and carefare.

If I see a giant pink rabbit on the trail I think I will laugh!!
This is the aspect I am looking forward to on the A.T. that the other trails I have hiked lacks - the almost circus aspect to it. :D

what gets bacon greese out of rabbit? anyone?
if any of you think you could make a thru hike dressed as a pink rabbit, honey bear, sasquatch, coca cola bear, kool-aide man, pizza hut noid, the gecko,, tootsies Mr. Owl, or tony the tiger; i would proudly carry all the gear. all the gear. however any profits gained would have to go to the ATC and all sponsors gifts would be donated to the hikers boxes along the way. i will however only carry enough for one mascott per thruhike.

A bear and a rabbit were both side by side, taking a $#!+ in the woods.
(Which answers the age old question, BTW: yes, bears DO!)
Anyway, the bear turns to the rabbit and asks if he has trouble with the stuff sticking to his fur; the rabbit says "no", so the bear wipes his @$$ with the rabbit. :eek:
An oldie, but goody... :D
First rabbits then bears, I'm worried about "Moose and Squirrel" cause that would mean Borris and Natasha can't be far behind. ROFL
