Default Hobbies?

What hobbies do y'all have apart from working on rovers and wheeling them?


Camping has been fun - usually with shooting guns and offroading so thats a good one for me.

Fishing has been hit and miss this year- maybe its because i need a boat or a kayak?

Working on Black Betty is always an adventure- always.

Pc gaming has gotten to be boring and i have sold my gtx 780.

Started metal detecting and i have been having fun and here is where the dilemma starts do i buy a nicer metal detector to have a better experience treasure hunting or do i buy a kayak for a better fishing experience.

Wink cast iron jacks

I'm into collecting all sorts of things but my latest obsession is Bottle Jacks. I've got my eye on a snazzy red 2-ton variety at Home Depot. Put it on my wish list.

Well, get a good enough detector and maybe you'll find a boat.

I like my canoe and kayak and you can get pretty good deals on one of the fishing friendly version kayaks if you shop them a bit

Making and renovating things from 4x4's to houses. I enjoy building, designing, sand yachting, cycling, walking and speed, yep, speed - the faster the better!. Like technology and new sciences, anything to expand the mind. Like computing and solving math problems - MS Excel warrior

I don't do or believe in eco projects as they are often a government con like wind power, so don't build wind power turbines. Solar water heating is good, particularly where we live (2,920 sun hours per annum) good hobby project.

Traveling and discovering new places.
We have discovered many ways to travel on a budget. Adventure is still the top of the list but i don't cave or rock climb as much as I have in the past.

Hope to finish all continents in the next few years.

More road trips in the US and Canada are on the list. Would like to drive to Alaska in the 04 Disco
Fishing is also a passion especially salt water. We always catch something in salt water.
Want to try some more fly fishing someday.
Anything outdoors.
