What do you do for a Hobby?

I think Trapping, Hunting and fishing is more of a life style but, what do you do in the off season?

That made me giggle sly. Griffin, I don't post much on newbie threads, I don't trust ya till I see you earn it. You, are either alright or really good at the game. I haven't decided yet. But what's the harm in saying I love to bring back to life, old kerosene lanterns, old small gas motors, and cast iron skillets.

My body doesn't allow me to do what I'd like anymore but when I can, I love to bring something discarded back to life. I think that's a hobby.


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I swear I don't bite, I like to talk but to each their own. I'm a marginal trapper at best, that's why I am here.

I have a few old kerosene lanterns, I still use them at camp when I don't want to hear the generator run. I've never restored one, though I do have a couple old storm lanterns I have been meaning to get fixed up.

I actually have a small collection of old Coleman fuel Lanterns and Stoves. I love to keep them going, reminds me of when I was young.

I dont believe in hobbies.
Hobbies are for people who dont have enough work to do.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

To some, cutting, hauling, splitting and stacking wood is a hobby. I ran out of time and bought a couple cord this year. so mostly just throwing and stacking.
Besides, if I'm not busy the wife will find something for me to do.

What's a hobby.

I hunt trap a few varmints., keep bees, maple sugaring, garden Raise dary goats, meat and egg chickens, garden and can, fix my old farm equipment when it breaks, cut and split wood for heat. And go to church functions when I'm not at my paying job. Are those hobbies? I always see it as things that need done but I do enjoy them most of the time.
