Farming. Bought a small farm 5 years ago. It consumes life
outside of work but brilliantly and is a range of hobbies in itself.
As a 'unhandy' person before I've learnt (by my standards anyway) a solid range of new skills.
Managing horses, cattle, dogs (including training one to herd) and chickens.
I can drive machinery like tractors, dozers and currently beginning to learn to drive a bobcat. Also learnt how to ride a dirt bike.
Lots of tools like chainsaws, fencing gear and drills etc and the tasks that go with them. I want to learn welding at some point but am holding off as I have enough.
A heap about plants, fruit trees and especially grasses.
I'm far from an expert in any of these but these days there's nothing I like more than a day off doing odd jobs around the property.
If you like this stuff I recommend but if you have animals be prepared for potential 24/7 commitment.
