Confessions of a bushcrafter with many other interests

[Paul_B]

Another used to do wa archery for a year at uni. Did look into getting back into it when left uni as back home was not too far from the Salmesbury longbow club (whatever its called).

 

[Nova & Pinky]

Pinky and I both play in our uber LEGO loft (we're building a city and have tonnes of the stuff including some valuable vintage sets, but still need more!) - more a winter thing though as it's too nice to be inside when it's bright outside.

Incidentally we're also both gamers, and actually met in an online game (EVE Online) three years ago. Whilst we don't play EVE anymore, we're both now playing World of Tanks (where I've discovered I'm not too bad at Arti) and I'm also currently playing Civilization V.

I love cooking (especially baking), reading (mainly fantasy and sci-fi), pottering around in the garden and have a newfound addiction to whittling (mainly spoons atm).

Pinky is into RC cars (he has a 1/5 scale Baja 5b) and mountain bikes.

 

[Morrolan]

Oh god...

I make and sell eco-friendly candles (craft-hobby/2nd job), calligraphy, pyrography, geo-caching, sketching, canoeing, PS3 gaming (beta-tester for Sony), paintballing, snowboarding, cycling, RC helicopters, write iPhone apps, create websites for people, make autonomous robots and other electronic weirdness, umm....

End of Line!

 

[Qwerty]

Another toy train person here (sorry, model rail enthusiast ) and I'm mad about all things boaty, trying to sell a very fine yacht so I can move inland with the family on a nice little motorboat.

Hmm, messing about in boats; my canoe and sailing dinghy. Camping, though the way I camp has become known as Bushcrafting these days. I grow fruit 'n' veg and keep bees. Used to live for motorcycles, but prefer to channel my funds to boats these days. A bit of archery when I can and *nix computing. Oh yeah, I juggle a bit!

For me its fishing, playing guitar, mandolin and banjo and walking as well as all the usual bushy type things. I also love to cook

 

[jamin]

i curently enjoy scouting , carving , fishing ,air rifle shooting. wanting to do some of my older interests again which include kayaking canoeing climbing sailing walking

 

[Rabbitsmacker]

i dabble in arty stuff as is my training, also enjoy fishing, collecting and researching militaria, but bushy stuff is taking over, learning new stuff is something i enjoy, i'm a useless fact kinda guy! but since moving to norfolk and being near my other halfs family i've kinda been under the father in laws wing, so been doing some shooting and game prep, learning about the countryside in these parts. just enjoy being out and about tho with a young family its dificult sometimes. getting more into the 'food for free' and and animal watching.

 

[Grendel]

Paranormal investigator

Ooh, that's always something I've wanted to have a go at - do you do it as part of a group, or did you just decide to do it off your own bat?

Been doing it for a few years now and helped start a new group after my last group became a bit to political with whos friend are you BS. The group i'm with is: http://www.portsmouthghostclub.com/ Unfortinitly the site is down at present.

I'm one of the more Sceptical members and believe 98% or Paranormal can be explained with logic and science but the 2% is what keeps me coming back for more.

[Soundmixer]

Fly fishing when I get the time.
Guitar repairs
Amp repairs
Playing guitar (mostly bluegrass on the acoustic but have been known to rock out with the electrics)
An awful lot of dog walking (they are young and full of beans so require a lot of time at the beach)
Watching dolphins (at the beach, see above!)
Ornithology and wildlife watching in general
Tinkering around with sharp things and putting handles on them
Cooking, especially on my barbeque / smoker (my beer butt chicken rocks IMHO)
Spending as much time outside as I can (which is never enough)

That's about it really...

 

[John Fenna]

For me it is Amateur Dramatics, a bit of bird watching, wine making..... or is that part of my bushiness?

 

[treefrog]

Climbing (rock and ice), Mountaineering, Snowshoeing, Canoeing and just being out with my dogs.

 

[Will Bowden]

If I'm not working I'm out with the dogs (deerhound lurcher and Patterdale terrier) or cycling either offroad on my old Ribble R4 hardtail or onroad on my 1980s classic Bianchi roadbike.

I have driven offroad for pleasure and work for many years but don't compete any more due to the monumental cost of my driving style when I start getting competitive. I have a Series Two Land Rover sat awaiting the day when I have finished fixing my 110, I suspect that day os years away yet.

My wife would say that my hobby is collecting hobbies. To be fair though most of my hobbies are all related. Mountaineering, Rock Climbing, mountain biking, canoeing and kayaking, but I do also enjoy playing guitar and bass, beekeeping and attempting to sketch and paint.
