Well, you are going to have to find something that interests you. We can only provide suggestions. Personally, I like to build and use primitive type things. Snowboarding is a bit of an anomally for me in that it is a high tech sport, and of the shortest seasonal duration.

One of my passions is building and hunting with primitive wooden bows. (I've made 130- or 140- something of them.) I also make wooden arrows and sometimes the broadheads.

Quivers are a part of that mix, too.

I dabble in blackpower flintlocks, too. Here's an 18th century powderhorn replica that I recently finished for a friend, who does reinacting.

I also like kayaking and fishing. These are a couple of traditionally constructed, skin-on-frame kayaks that I built in the last year.
