Great Hobbies that Involve the Great Outdoors

If you are looking to escape social media and spend some time outside of your digital world, then there’s never been an easier time for you to escape to nature. There are around 3 billion people on social media in this day and age, and that is around half of the population of the world. Information moves so fast, and now the average attention span is just 8 seconds. If you want to slow things down a bit, then this guide will help you to find out everything you need to know.

Hiking or Walking

Hiking is a brilliant way for you to get away from all of the hustle and bustle of the day to day life you have. It is also a fantastic way for you to fight anxiety and even depression too. If you want to help yourself, then it would be wise for you to set goals so that you can measure your distance as well as achieving the markers that you set. This is the best way for you to boost your overall well-being as well as your fitness in general.

Fishing

Fishing is a very ancient activity, but at the end of the day, it really has persisted. We don’t need to hunt for our dinner anymore, but it’s a great way for you to connect with the great outdoors once more. Most people are taught how to fish by a family member, who learnt everything they know from the generation before. Spending time with your family is a great way for you to unwind, but, it’s also a great way for you to learn more about nature in general. If you want to learn how to fish, then there’s never been a better time for you to get started. This is a hobby that is also best when combined with camping.

Geocaching

Geocaching is a very fun activity, and it is a great way for you to make the most out of your tech in general. It even gives you the chance to categorise the world for the future. The great thing about geocaching is that it is done all around the world, and there are millions of things for you to find. If you want your rewards to be a bit more tangible than just the miles you have walked, then make sure that you give this a go.

Flying a Drone

Did you know that flying beginner drones is a great way for you to get outside as well? You can explore the environment around you, and you can also really benefit yourself. You can meet others who may have an interest in drone flying, and at times, it can be a good way for you to get some fantastic photos of your local landscape.

Foraging

You can learn all about the local flora in your area by foraging. You can also expand your local knowledge and enjoy the general bounty of nature, from berries to nuts, fruit and mushrooms. You will find that there’s tons of options out there, and you can carry this over to your cooking hobby too, if you have one.

Gimmie Your Gold – How to Build a Leprechaun Trap

It’s that time of the year again. Where everyone is wearing green and celebrating their Irish heritage. For us, we do a little celebrating, but our biggest goal is to catch one of those darn leprechauns!

This year we decided to make a trap and see if that improves our chances any. If it does we will be sure to let you know our results and if you’re nice, maybe we will split the gold!

Children’s Books – Squat The Robot?

Robot Story 00 Cover

Back in January of 2013, I was informed that the book “Squat The Robot?” was available in Amazon’s Kindle store and would be made available a few days later for a paperback copy. The story is an unique one which finds Squat the robot getting into a crazy and weird adventure. When I was hired on to illustrate this story I was impressed with how it turned out given how strangely unique the story is.

Amazon’s Description:

Squat was cleaning Glistening Glow when hair began to show. She had no idea why until remembering that Creepy Cupid guy. It seems she was under his curse and to make things worse, he had captured her love, making him and his band sing like a dove.

Follow Squat as she begins her quest to put everything back to normal and stop that Creepy Cupid pest. But will it come due? That can be found out by you. Just add this book to your mat from none other than Pat Hatt.
