What else do you do?

[callum]

Just for a bit of fun
Have any of you fine people got hobbies or interests other than Hammocks?
Also (optional) how do you earn a living

I like to wet a line from time to time... Well... a lot of the time, mainly target bass on lures.
I am also a Leadworker and have been for about 8 or nine years now

[Bowlin]

Been a keen shooter since I was 14, and a 'mid-life -crisis' motorcyclist for the last 5 years, what with bushcraft those three hobbies take up 99% of my time!!

I'm a Contract Killer..."at least that's what I say when asked by Women!....actually I'm a Pest Controller (well, I am paid to kill things, so it isn't a total lie!).

Cool thread, and congratulations Stevie

Me: Mixed climbing/bouldering, snowboarding, powerlifting mountaineering/scrambling and I'm just getting back into personal training/nutrition. Spend most of my time sewing quilts and bits but I've now developed a compulsion to make short skirts and things for the misses, seriously considering a titanium and cuben corset.

I'm also trying to develop a photography hobby but I hate it. Especially when my face is in the picture.

In a previous life I was in exporting spending a lot of time in the Miiddle East , now I'm retired spending my days hiking and purchasing Hammocking gear, going to the pub and doing what ever my wife tells me to do......

Stevie..........................That Lola in the hammock pic cracks me up.


Me, CNC programmer/ machine setter in the turned parts industry mainly Aerospace and Automotive work, which at the moment isn't leaving me much time for hobbies but when I do get time Hammock gear hoarding, Bushcraft & and trying to learn Leatherworking (when the mood takes me).

[Meadows]

Stevie..........................That Lola in the hammock pic cracks me up.

She absolutely loves it mate. If it's not the hammock it's the bed and if it's not the bed she's inside my jacket...

A skater and a skateboarder, Rollerskating?

Ahh, no. Phone typing error.
Just whizzplanking.
Properly got into it when I was studying at Southampton in the late eighties (too far from the consistent surf). Skating pipe and bowls at Southsea, and later in Sydney (although the surf wasn't a problem there!). It rather took a backseat when I moved back to the farm in Devon. But it resurfaced when I discovered freebording ten years ago.
(Snowboard simulator)
. From there I got into longboarding and even built my own half-pipe in the barn.

Have you seen the Adam Colton cross China skate vids

No, I'll look then out. Used to enjoy the Adam-squared longboard dancing videos.

BTW
I hate comments... Not the comments, the comment system!
I always miss them, I don't go hunting for them through the thread, I expect anything new to be found at the bottom.
And they are a pain to quote.

Showing my age now, I got nostalgia for newsgroups! alt.surfing got resurrected on Facebook recently.

[Bragger]

33 year old northern pipe welder by day. Just building some of these at the minute

Ow yer

But by night I'm a model maker. R/C car plane board builder. Knife and lighter collector to the dismay of my lady but if she needs 20 shoes what's wrong with having hundreds of lighter and knives I need them to. I also shoot work dogs camp hike and climb just about everything outdoors. I have far to many hubby's and have dabbled in many other things in my youth. but in general I like to make things and just about anything at that.






Just a small look at some of the things I play with and make

[Meadows]

Ow yer. I also shoot work dogs
. I have far to many hubby's

You're different to the man I thought you were☺

Good skills with building stuff though.

I started surfing in my thirties then started longboard skating a few years later as a way to make up for the fact I live in Sheffield, 100 miles from the North sea or about 4 days down to the south west.

I'm still a member of MAS
