    Default Other Hobbies

    Obviously, if you browse this site you enjoy hiking in some capacity, but what other activities or hobbies do you partake in to occupy your time?

    For me, school keeps me fairly busy. So at this time, the only hobby I participate in frequently, aside from hiking, would be weightlifting.

    Nevertheless, I find myself researching and looking for some other hobbie to delve into. Please feel free to share your hobbies, whether outdoorsy or not, that you enjoy aside from hiking.

    At the moment, I am thinking about trying some climbing. However, it seems as though you may need to start with a group and solo adventures may not be all that safe. Perhaps someone can enlighten me on the topic.

    Please share what hobbies you enjoy aside from hiking!

    Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

    I dont really have a whole lot of "hobbies" but another passion of mine are Pitbulls (all kinds of the "Pitbull" type dogs). I currently have a 7 year old male of my own and a 2 year old female foster dog.

    Dogs are cool!!!

    I am interested in canoeing, but I am still doing some research on what type of canoe to get. I hope to find one that I can maneuver myself, but is large enough to carry another person on some occasions. Also, I hope to find the right one used at a good price.

    I think they have what is called a solo+ canoe with three seats but only has a max capacity for two. Are you looking to canoe flat or white water or a mixture of both?

    I guess for mostly flat water. We have a big river with many islands on it that I always thought would make for some fun canoeing. It would be enjoyable to also have the option to go some streams too. Perhaps someday I'd want to work into something more aggressive with experience.

    Golf is a big passion of mine but from time to time I get completely burned out on it. I've played it competitively since I was 15, played in college, thought about going pro but never did. I won the City Championship last August and right after that I realized I was done with the game for awhile, it was most definitely time to go hiking. =)

    I like all outdoor winter activities such as snowshoeing, skiing, Nordic and Alpine. I love organic gardening, knitting, sewing, biking, birding, and collecting PEZ dispensers
