Work/spend time with my wife and family. My other hobbies are canoeing, back packing, and arrowhead hunting. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to do the entire Ky river. I know I'll have to do it in sections and it may take a few years, but its on the list.
I love going on vacations. Taking a long 3 day weekend and just travel around the country or a 7 day travel abroad. When not doing that I'm working. 65-81 hour weeks take a lot out of a guy!
Love traveling. Work..which really isn't "work" most of the time. Shooting some hoops. Trying to make sure my Aussie doesn't kill something or get herself killed (the pup is like a full time job). Reading. Writing. Anything that makes me remember who lucky I am to live the life I live.
When not working you can find me kayak fishing the local rivers, bowfishing, camping, and mostly home improvement. Owning a home is nice and all but it really cuts down on all the fun I used to have while living in an apartment.
Work mostly. As much as I don't like being unemployed, I got "lucky" enough to get on it during hunting season this year. But ill be back to 100 hour weeks in the oil field in no time and not have time to enjoy life again. Will only have coming home to my girl and the pets for a couple hours a night to look forward to. Wish I could find a career that pays outside if this field. But its either work 100 hour weeks and make 70k+ or get a 40 hour crap job and be lucky to make 20k...guess ill work my youth away!
The hammocks sound like they would be comfortable man! Anytime I've been camping it was a full tent or an air mattress in the truck bed kinda camping. I like the simplicity of the tarp and hooking everything up to the tree. How do you tie all that up?
I'm retired.... I'm lazy.... I'm subject to a drink or two... I get tired... I sleep.. I eat... I waste gas.... and oh... there are other things like fishing, golfing and anything I want to. I'm almost at the point ... and I really am... of not caring if I ever shoot another critter. This from a man who was obsessed with hunting for just about 60 years. I started hunting alone in the Adirondacks at 8. I'm now 68. Yup... that's 60 years. I love the meat. I do have someone I broke into bowhunting providing me with venison this year. Let's have a drink on that. LOL I was recently placed on a deer extermination team in a populated area. I was going to hunt hard in Dec and January taking out does. Then my son calls and says, come to Seattle for the holidays or December or whatever. That sounds like more fun right now than killing things. I'll let the other guys get 'em.
Preaching, working, watching son swim, swimming, running, cycling, working out, gardening, complaining about Auburn losing in football.
There is a specific suspension that I use but you can do it many different ways. Just make sure you don't tie rope or put nails in the trees, use webbing (like a ratchet strap) on the trees to prevent harming it. There is a lot of pressure on the trees from your body weight for many hours of sleep and it could tear into the tree. Check out Hammockforums.net for a ton of info on hammocks.
