Hobbies!

[bryanpearl]

Besides EMS, what does everyone like to do for fun? I myself (just being a student and not officially "in" ems) like to listen to music/play the drums.

Running, cycling, and reading are my favorite pastimes.

 

[titmouse]

Cycling is the prime one. Finally got to ride my mtb after four months of studying for my EMT . Feels good to be back on the bike =)

 

[DesertMedic66]

Dirt bike riding, off-roading, and camping.

 

[WickedGood]

I mountain bike, backpack, horseback ride. Also run but only 5ks. Not my favorite thing.
Just bought a road bike and giving that a try. Mountain bike is still my passion though. Paramedic school is making me neglect my horses and my bikes both. Only five more months and I will be human again.

Also volunteer SAR.

I have a HUUUUUGE comic book collection. and a bookshelf full of graphic novels.

Although in recent months, I have been getting digital editions of comics and just installing them on my ipad. saves on $$$, and saves on storage requirements.

Play the piano, trumpet and guitar. I like ballroom dancing also, but don't get to do much of that. Lots of shooting and pig or coyote hunting. Reading, studying, researching, etc. I also love kyaking, swimming, hiking/backpacking and moderately technical mountaineering. All that gets replaced in the winter with skiing. Well it did before I moved to Texas. :-( And I do write a but of photography.

But my favorite hobby is working overtime! :lol:

It's skiing in the winter, but I'll be taking a month hiatus due to a knee injury. I try to get at least 30 days a year, a fair bit of it touring in the backcountry.

I mountain bike and run too, which is possible almost all year in Colorado Springs. In the summer I take the boat out on the trailer to various places a lot.

Likewise. Except that I sometimes do it timed. IDPA for the win. (Anyone done KSTG yet?).

Also like playing radios and photography. 2 things that I need to make more time for.

I don't do the timed...I do the distance (800-1000 yards)

Paper, actually. And the occasional steel target.

Hitting the steel building behind your target does not count as hitting it

I write books. Maybe someday I'll write a best seller that will pay for paramedic school.
