What are your other hobbies?

[coaster500]

Never new you guys used fish skins until I joined PA...  that one hit the bow before I ever built a bow...  This spring you can bet I'll be looking at fish skins different

[vabowyer]

I do a little fly fishing, cooking, and some stereo photography.  Mostly just go to work and go to sleep most days....

[Gordon]

Fly-fishing for salmon, trout and steelhead. Tipi camping. And bow-hunting of course.

I've hooked up with the old unit and my old bros through a facebook page, and man, it is great to relieve those times in Germany.

Dane, I just remember something else you should check out on facebook (besides my fan page for the book). There's a Pershing group on there, too. I think it might be called "Pershing Professionals" or something. It's filled with people from all throughout Pershing. There are a couple more groups I'm in, too, but that one's where you're most likely to see people from where you were.

In case the rest of you don't know, Dane and I were both infantrymen who did a really unique job in Germany.
 

Doug, just got back to this thread. I will look for your books. Erich and I did OSUT at Ft. Benning together. He is a great guy overall. He was the tallest E1, I was the shortest.

I've checked out that group,btw. And I will find your fan page and join, as well. Good stuff.

Aborigial living skills, blacksmithing, mma, hunting of all sorts(except for sandhill cranes) and any kind of fishing, I dabble in western martail arts, Im also into boyscouting, backpacking, blackpowder shooting, and I also cook(however I cant bake). Not bad considering im 17!! 

[Dictionary]

I don't do much else other than take rides on the motorcycle and occasionally bicycle even though i live in a congested area. And i read a lot of books until my eyes are too tired then i go outside and sit down and stare in to space. I was into the primitive skills but after it took me like 5 months to figure out friction fire, i haven't done much other learning. Still haven't figured out(identified) the good plants to make cordage out of and the rest of that. I'd like to take up gardening, but i'm 17 and don't own my own place and the parents are against backyard gardening, don't ask me why

What with work taking me away from my family so much, I don't have room for many hobbies that don't involve the family.  Bowmaking is my primary one and I have very little time to devote to that.  I mostly spend time with my wife and kids.  We like camping, fishing, hunting, gardening.  We spend a lot of time playing with our wiener...dogs   I used to make knives on occasion, before I got into bows.  Working on my house used to be a hobby, but after blowing my entire last summer renovating, that became more of a chore.  Our camper hasn't left the yard since 2010   When I'm deployed, I spend time reading, going over this forum, drafting house plans, playing the occasional video game, and spend a couple hours a day at the gym.

What type of western martial arts?  I was a fighter in the SCA for several years before I got married.  Mostly specialized in polearm and spear.
