Any unusual hobbies?

I like to go to the cinema with my wife, or at least I did before it was swamped with a deluge of cut and paste superhero films for babies. And I run at least 60 miles a week.

An unusual hobby I have is that I am a practitioner of basic survivalist skills. I go to the woods at least once a year (usually twice) and stay overnight, making my own fire and shelter.

I am also able to skin animals and I having some knowledge of shoeing horses and metal work so I can function as a farrier or blacksmith if needs be.

I always have a backpack ready to go packed with rations, tarp, pots and pans etc literally within arms reach in the event that I need to flee to the woods or mountains at any moment. I bring it with me everywhere I go.

I remember watching Threads back in the late 90s and decided then and there to prepare for the eventual nuclear holocaust. My wife is a kindlier soul than I am and she said that she would volunteer to stay behind and tend to the sick if she happened to survive the nuclear onslaught and my daughter preferred to stay at home eating and watching ****ing Dallas rather than prepare for armageddon. So it was my son and I who would go out and train on our own until he went to university.

As the years pass and the human species continues to careen to the precipice of extinction with the threat of nuclear war, and the oncoming land wars and refugee crises prompted by climate change, my decision to prepare for a life off the land only seems more and more correct. I also enjoy bouldering.
