I always dream up some new activity I want to start, but then have to remind myself I don’t have enough time to do my current hobbies as much as I would like. I would say I have invested 90% of my fun money into hunting over the past 5 years. In my case, I can get a lot nicer gear if I just focus on one or two things.

My only hobbies are hunting and shooting.

I have a hunting 4x4, and a hunting dirtbike. Of course, to save money on the parts needed for a bush truck, I have a bunch of metal fabrication tooling, grinders, benders, notchers, etc.
I have my shotgunning stuff, and my rimfire stuff. And my backpack hunting stuff. And my regular camping stuff for when I use a basecamp. The archery gear is also for hunting.
Now, my son likes bike riding, so I have a mountain bike, but that's a parental obligation. Same goes for the fishing gear, and both boats. Technically, fishing is hunting for fish anyway.
All the wood working tools are, naturally, for work. Nevermind that the company provides tools, these ones are for sidejobs and pinterest projects.
The mechanical tools are for the hunting 4x4, and for maintaining the family cars, not just because I like playing with cars. That's also why I have the crates of spare parts. Don't worry about the fact that they are performance parts.

I really envy people who excel at one specific thing but I'm just not wired to be that way.

I'm destined to always be bad to average at a constantly growing list of activities.

Ha, this is my motto and why my list of hobbies is so long and also why my savings account is so low. My retirement plan is all the gear I have accumulated for all my activities. Been focusing more energy into fly fishing and elk the past few years with good results though.

My hobbies aren’t nearly as varied as most of you guys.

Backpacking/camping
Hunting
Fishing
Golf

 

[Kevin Dill]

No way is anyone interested in my list....which is long and likely similar to many others on here. Almost all my hobbies (really more like interests and passions) take me outside. Here’s a couple extras....

Harleys.....buying one is just the cost of admission to a club which WILL eat your disposable income.

Stone-crafting. I particularly love building or creating with natural stone.

Ginseng digging. Forget the money. It’s just about impossible to explain the lure of being deep in the woods on a humid morning trying to spot a rather normal looking plant.

Photography. My goal is to use the simplest everyday equipment while trying to capture very interesting or unusual images outdoors.

I'm sure I'm missing a few.. Getting to the point I can't do it all anymore. Starting to sell off and get rid of some unused stuff.

All the stuff that is used to just maintain equipment is staggering as well. Work hard play harder.

If you have time to do something besides hunt or fish, you have time to hunt or fish.

My 2 hobbies/way of life.

 

[ewade07]

My GF tells me I have too many hobbies all the time. I tell her you only live once and sooner or later I'm not going to be able to do all the things I love to do. I'd rather have too many hobbies than be a boring sack of crap.

 

[Gen273]

I am in the same boat. However, these days I have much more gear than I have time to use it.

 

[Jeshwahhh]

Man, mine are getting right up there with you, but hey Jack of all trades!
