Very thorough lists...
However, I did not see: "Drink'n beer and watchin' Nascar!".

 

[sonya123]

where is "watching Asian dramas on youtube" ?

SOme of the things on your lists are things we do for a living ( raising livestock , having chickens), some are for our survival ( baking and cooking)

I guess I never had a traditional hobby

no wait, of course we did, wargaming (basically playing games) does that count?

It is a list I found. I think anyone can add what their hobbies are, even if they are not on the list. Drinking beer, watching Nascar and watching Asian movies isn't on my list, but probably is on yours. What else would you add to the possible hobbies?

Even though it is a long list, I am sure that there are more hobbies that are not on the list. The list also has links to more information about the hobby.

What else should be on the list?

I watch other stuff also, it's my way of relaxing after all the work we do every day. Before we moved here, my hobby would have been exercising (various things, step aerobics, yoga, running, martial arts, on trips hiking and rock climbing and my favorite downhill skiing)

Right now however, the Chinese drama I am watching is making me so stressed I have to watch something else for a while LOL, there are 2 episodes left, and I don't want a bad ending but many Chinese ones do have that. So I am avoiding . Will watch it later

 

[Bacpacker]

A few, most cost way too much.
Backpacking, fishing, travel, photography, chess, camping. I would include gardening which I thoroghly enjoy but now days is more to eat better and save money.
Edit to add: smoking a fine cigar and reading

 

[Tim Horton]

Earlier this winter I was gifted a BIG tote of paracord of all kinds and how to books.. Over a number of years I have made and gave away many paracord shotgun pull through bore cleaners meant to be carried in a day pack..

I hope to branch out and learn to make a rifle sling.. And some other outdoor projects..

 

[Pearl]

Brushing my donkey, time with Bear and the cats, walking the dog and donkey!! Drinking beer, the pool float! Watching wildlife!! Spending time with Hubby, which could end up bad for him tonight if he doesn't find a decent movie to watch!!

 

[LadyLocust]

Funny watching TV and playing video games are not on the list and are what so many folks do every day

Mine are just what I call life but:
Quilting, other forms of needlework, soap making, candle making, gardening, wood getting, sewing, food preservation & preparation, pickin on critters , communicating with friends/family, camping, reading, making chocolates, not sure what else off the top of my head.

 

[rice paddy daddy]

Great lists, Weedy!!
I saw one that I've always wanted to learn, bird watching.

I used to wood work, back when I worked in lumberyards and had access to free wood. Still have all my tools, electrical and old time hand tools.

One hobby I have had for over 65 years, and still practice every day, is the study of military history. especially World War 2.

 

[Tommyice]

My hobbies are sewing, knitting, weaving and spinning. I just recently added processing the raw fleece for spinning to the repitoire.

 

[FarmOR]

I like seeing the long lists. Having recently spending a lot of time with senior folks, it occurred to me that those with long lists and very wide topics of interest seem to age better than single minded people?

As we age, some things are bound to fall off of that list, but if you focus on those things you still can do, life can be enjoyable much longer?

 

[Cabin Fever]

My hobby is collecting firewood.

 

[Morgan101]

Guns, Golf, Gear, Cigars, Reading, Baseball, Volleyball, and the history of the Old West.

There are communities where people can retire and there are plenty of activities. I know someone who lives in this community in Ohio. There are more than 50 clubs or groups that people can participate in including woodworking, singing, pottery, quilting, and many sports activities.

 

[Amish Heart]

Haven't had much time for hobbies, and when I do, I enjoy visiting. I think it's ok because the stuff I have to do is the stuff I like to do. Like animals, gardening, cooking, taking care of husband. I do like to embroider sometimes.

 

[kd4ulw]

Ham radio, some of the radio contests I play in I’m usually in the top 5 for my contest class (100 watts) in my 3 state region and sometimes first or second in my state.

Of course, all my hobbies except sleeping cost a lot of money.

 

[dademoss]

Reading, naps, Amateur radio (HAM)(Emergency response), Garden trains (G scale), shooting, and fishing. After we move, get training as a Range Officer at the local club.

You forgot cat-sitting.

I tell hubby he’s an expensive date: his hobbies are expensive too- motorbikes, skiing, fly fishing, blacksmithing witch has become part of his occupation.

I forgot skiing yesterday.

Growing fruit plants, read, watch movies & a new one walking, bird watching.

After day 3-4, you’ll like the walking better

 

[Neb]

I used to carve in my youth and in the navy.

I always liked models like ships tanks, and planes.

I enjoy learning new skills and the tools/supplies required for those tasks. I must confess that the skills and capability that would be in high demand come TEOTWAWKI are of interest to me.

I also try to preserve knowledge in book form.

And then there my hobby of keeping track of military tech.

...

I am in to a bunch of stuff but switch back and forth like a will if the wisp.

[Haertig]

Whoever came up with the list appears to have left off everything related to firearms: Target shooting, hunting, reloading, etc. This was no doubt intentional.

 

[SLADE]

Very nice, but if I have to go to a place like that, shoot me.

 

[Magpie]

One thing I noticed is how hobbies encroach on life- I once would have said baking- but now it's just life.

I knit, paint, make cards, felted pictures, read and write. Though the last two are now jobs. I didn't add gardening because for me its an essential. I also collect items useful for mixed media pieces, which I rarely get to do so, and the same goes for the all the bits of material I've kept.

 

[FarmOR]

Since I quit working for the man and my personal emancipation proclamation eleven years ago to the date next week! It's kinda difficult to differentiate my hobbies from my livelihood. They have inner twined?

Hay, firewood, stocks, lambs, bikes, motorbikes, cars, guns, archery, metal fab, mechanics, leather, reading, writing, learning, health, lifting weights, hiking, dog training, cooking, and swapping lies?
