Too many hobbies
« on: October 01, 2024, 03:24:44 PM »
Is that possible?  I enjoy backpacking, Mt biking and bowhunting.  The later is the easiest on my body, but usually is just what fills the gap between the other two.

Is it separate hobbies or one big hobby if you mix them all. Load up the backpack with camp gear, and ride the bike in to where you want to hunt for the week. Multiple parts in one hobby.

M0_coon_catcher; The backpacking I do does not lend itself to Mt Biking and most of the trails I hike are foot traffic only.  I do pack in to do a couple days of hog hunting, but that is more geared to the hunting side with minimal gear, food, clothing.

Lots of hobbies, but they are all secondary to bowhunting.

In the past, younger days, I did the backpacking, mountain biking, hunting, woodworking, flyrod making along with making quivers for myself and family. Oh, also made/make arrows for us as well. To many hobbies? How many are to many?

Man I haven't been metal detecting seriously in years, I need to dust off my old whites. Problem with metal detecting is the same problem I have with hunting is finding places that allow permission.

Hunting and fishing and now building bows pretty much consumes my life, other than spending time with my family.

Guys no way I view archery/Bowhunting as a hobby. Thats something you do when you have spare time. I see it as a lifestyle and it has been that way since I was a child.
