Post by: 666_pack on June 05, 2009
I just wanted to see what get this rabble outta bed at the crack off dawn.

Please feel free to vote twice if needs be.

I'll go first.

I love Hiking and wild camping can't stop thinking about it.

your worst day on the hills is still better than your best day at work

I'm Canadian canoeing, hiking, camping and bushcraft. Unfortunately I hardly ever get the chance to camp and my bushcraft skills are non-existant. Err, I'm not exactly fit either  :P Gotta start somewhere tho :D

I'd agree that the worst day outdoors is still better than a day at work!

I'd be more into hiking and wild camping! Trying to get into Canoeing and mountainbiking but the cost is proving a factor.Will have to pick one of the two prob the biking  :-\

It's Bushcrafting for me. I suppose it usually involves an element of Hiking as well in order to get to the places we visit. I'd love to get into open canoeing as it would open up a whole lot more bushcrafting locations. I do though go regular camping in campsites with the family as my wife "Dosen't do not having a shower or toilet"

I'm the same - no chance of getting the trouble'n'strife anywhere without proper amenities. I'm not a huge fan of bush toileting myself but it's fairly unavoidable if you want to enjoy the great outdoors :o

My PA/Calendar/Childminder/Lover/Cleaner/Counsellor's not my problem, She's got no problem hopping over a hedge when nature calls - in fact it's her fault I got into all this outdoors stuff. 

It's the wains that restrict us a bit these days.  Much as they all love camping (they've all camped from they were a couple of months old) hiking's restricted to as far as their wee legs can carry them, and mountain biking with stabilisers has proved a bit of a disasterand yes, I have tried..

LOL @ drybag.

I'm into Geocaching and canoeing, I'm not fit either infact I'm morbid, but that doesn't stop me and hopefully all this outdoors stuff will help with the morbid bit........

My wife loves the geocaching and enjoys a paddle now and again, as do the kids until last night with a couple of sot kayaks they had a ball and want to go out today again, great tv watching games console playing killer, were pleased.
