What else do you enjoy?

[JeffPro4x]

We are all here because we love our Xterras. What else do you enjoy doing?

I love anything involving nature whether it's hiking, camping (car or backpack), kayaking or fishing
I enjoy both freshwater and salt water (surf) fishing. I've recently started pouring and tying my own jigs. There's something very satisfying about catching a fish on something you made.

I like cooking, anything involving the smoker or grill is my favorite.

1. Hiking/Camping. I go someplace new each year, usually camping in my VW. Been slacking this year.
   
2. Classic Ocean liners/Naval History. I read, research, study and visit when possible ocean liners/warships.
   
3. Volkswagens, vintage flavor. I buy, repair and sell classic VWs on the side.
4. Drinking Bourbon in random new places.
   
5. Reading. Mostly historical stuff or biographies.
6. Grilling meats. My smoker has long been dormant, need to get back to it.
7. Cigars, but im kinda cigar stupid

I had planned to add Kayaking to this, but was not able to get around to it this year.

What type of bump we talkin here?

 

[BillySpivitz]

Beer

 

[TerryD]

I've always loved being outside and roaming around so the whole off-road/overland thing really suits me. We like to camp, hike, bike and go swimming.

I grew up hunting ground hogs on the farm but not much beyond that and it's hard to get permission to use land around here so that's kinda gone by the wayside except some days with my Dad back home.

I love to cook and grill/smoke and so does the wife so there's always good food here.
Craft beer drinking (not making, just not my thing)
Amateur Radio
I do some minor fabricating around the house. Don't do much vehicle work anymore and never really did do that much.

 

[Hetzer]

Lately, I've really enjoyed Taco Bell's $5 nacho box. Many times.

I'm hoping I'm wrong but there are guys who drive in our waste treatment basins at work to do inspections.

 

[CHUG]

Black water diving is. Scuba, in water that is Full of silt, Or dark. that your Visibility is zero to Mere inches. That all your doing is feeling by hand.. and Not get stuck in brush Or log jams. ;-) Sucks to have your Air line Or BCD hook at branch and your stuck.. ;-)

To be fair, I couldn’t find the time before the tiny creature that lives with me arrived either.

 

[IM1RU]

I thought, given the general depravity of mindset I've already come to expect in this place, that it would have been rather obvious.

 

[KC!]

Lol gonna buy a mini-lathe today, gotta finish these wewd projects lmao so I can focus on the truck again

 

[Brunnie]

I love geocaching! A great excuse for exploring off road and getting to the "high up, hard to get to without hiking for heaven knows how long" caches.

 

[westslope]

.....I've recently started pouring and tying my own jigs. There's something very satisfying about catching a fish on something you made........

Nice. Jigs are extremely effective and require a little more knowledge to fish well compared to other lures. Do you 'swim' your jigs for some species Jeff? Works like a hot damn for smallmouth bass and other species.

I tie flies. I still remember catching my first ever trout caught on a dry fly that I tied. It was sublime. The fish in question happened to be a wild, native westslope cutthroat trout caught in the East Kootenay district of SE British Columbia.

A long time ago I caught a few Tiger Fish and Nile Perch on hand-tied flies in Uganda and Kenya. That means I held the hook with my left hand while the right hand did the tying. I used goat hair and flashy materials from Indian dress shops. Very satisfying.

Some other activities: x-c skiing, backpacking, canoe-tripping, drifting rivers and running rapids in an open canoe, music (of all sorts), and now that I am old, I enjoy gardening even if I thought that day would never come.....

Oh. Well hello new fishing friend. Be sure to check out our outdoor section. If you have pics from those trips I’d be very interested in seeing them.

Most of the stuff I tie is for salt water. Striped bass, fluke etc. Mostly bucktails and teasers. I'll swim them for bass, bounce em for flounder
