HOBBIES FOR MEN

Hello ladies and gents this is the viking telling you that today we are talking about

HOBBIES FOR MEN


Leatherworking

Leatherworking
You can make everything from a passport holder to a full saddle for your bucking bronco if you learn to work in the medium of leather. Though this frontier art is slowly dying off, becoming one of the few guys who knows what “skiving” means will make you a man among men.

Motorcycling

Motorcycling

Riding in a car is just another form of television, albeit a slightly more involved one. Instead of staying safe with your airbags and thousands of pounds of steel keeping you in a rolling cage, learn to live on the edge. Motorcycling is the next best thing to flying and the biggest adrenaline rush you can get short of jumping out of a plane.

Golfing

Golfing

Part science, part superstition, part sport, part Zen mental exercise, golf is truly the thinking sportsman’s game. A set of clubs, a collared shirt, a pair of golf shoes, and a country club membership is all you need to see why golf is the greatest Scottish export outside of Glenmorangie Scotch.

Woodworking

Woodworking

Learning to work with wood means you’ll never again need to go to IKEA for anything. You’ll be able to craft gorgeous furniture that is as striking as it is functional. The combination of artisanal craft and utilitarian skill makes woodworking an imperative hobby for the man who believes that something beautiful should also be able to do a job.

Carpentry

Carpentry

Any DIYer with a hammer and drill can do basic repairs, but they are still at the mercy of whatever contractor happens along if they want to do a serious remodel on their home. Even if you just develop the fundamental skills, knowing Molly Bolts from Sleeve Anchors can save you a bundle in the long run and make sure you’re nobody’s fool.

Meditation

Meditation

Everyone who actually works for a living could use a little relaxation, and meditation is ideal for that. Moreover, you can find you have more energy, more stamina, and better awareness if you meditate on a regular basis. Even if you don’t find inner peace, you’ll find much more outer happiness by learning to still your turbulent mental waters.

I hope you liked this post and as always have a chilled day from the Viking.
