To be honest not much, but a good hobby is going to the gym, not only spend couple of hours out of the house, but even get healthier.

Usually I watch motivational videos on youtube.

Been playing bass for a couple of years and been getting into music production lately, learning a lot of cool stuff about signal processing and general musicianship.

I've been trying to be more proactive about spending my free time in meaningful things, so I'm either out in the woods foraging, at the gym, or in my computer trying to learn a new skill. I ought to also get back to trying to get conversational in Russian. I mostly only remember the profanity lol

What do you forage for?
I forage for mushrooms, fruit, tea herbs, and nuts mostly. On mother's day I found over half a pound of morels and just about as much pheasant back mushrooms, a bunch of motherwort and garlic mustard. When the prairie flowers start blooming, I'm going to be collecting a lot of honeysuckle flowers, bee balm, selfheal, yarrow, and bramble berries. In the autumn, I'll be on the lookout for autumn olives, hickory nuts, hazelnuts, and black walnuts. I feel like foraging and hacking have a common attitude towards personal freedom, to be able to acquire food or information freely off the beaten bath, literally and figuratively, is an important value to me.

What a lovely way to live. The most I've ever foraged is local berries and fruits. I can't say I've had much teaching by way of natural/local resources. It would be lovely to learn more about it. Do you cook a lot/make stuff as a result of your foraging?

I put some garlic mustard in my bulgur and ate that with those morels sauteed in butter with asparagus for example.(05-17-2021, 07:53 PM)echo_blini Wrote:(05-17-2021, 06:07 PM)Jiggly Wrote: That's actually quite an interesting selection xD Russian seems impressive!
